Vitamin E Oil for Acne and Scars

When applied topically vitamin E oil is one of the quickest home remedies for acne scars. As with any home remedy for acne scars it can take up to three months of nightly treatment to get the full scar fading effects.



You will start to see results from faded scarring in just a week. Vitamin E oil fights acne causing bacteria because it is an antioxidant. It is also a natural moisturizer that does not clog pores. Vitamin E oil can also be used to dilute essential oils for acne. Using vitamin E oil to dilute an essential oil like tea tree oil is a combination that can be used to treat moderate to severe acne. The combination works well for all skin types because the moisturizing effects of vitamin E oil keep the skin from drying out while the astringent properties of tea tree oil help with the overproduction of oil. Taking anything that is high in antioxidants is good or acne prone skin. Vitamin E is no exception. When taken orally it boosts the immune system and works well on acne internally. However, you wont notice the acne scar and dark spot fading effects of vitamin E oil unless used topically.

Vitamin E Oil for Acne and Scars Tips.
Not much vitamin E oil needs to be applied. Use enough to get a slight glisten from the oil. Apply once a day in the morning or at night before bed to fade acne scars and treat acne. Daily treatment with vitamin E oil will also help to fade dark spots. You can also apply vitamin E oil by using your fingers to gently rub a small amount of the oil onto your skin. If you do not like the smell of vitamin E oil just apply it at night. Applying nightly will also help to reduce scarring from any popped pimples. 5,000 IU vitamin E oil is the best for daytime use because it rubs in better than higher IU and doesn’t leave as much of a glisten.

Vitamin E oil goes bad over time. The shelf life for pure vitmain E oil is two years. But if you happen to come across some vitamin E oil in your medicine cabinet and aren’t sure how old it is give it a smell before using it. If the oil has a really strong and bitter smell to it then it has likely gone bad.
