Why is Vitamin E so important for the skin?

Ever wonder why so many beauty products have loads of Vitamin E in them?

It’s because Vitamin E can moisturize the skin. According to Dr. Jean Marquez, Vitamin E also helps in skin ailments like eczema. It is anti-imflammatory helping reduce those pesky swollen bumps, and has a lot of antioxidant properties helping fight aging.

In the Pinoy MD episode, Dr. Jean said Vitamin E can be taken orally, as in tablets, or as a topical medicine as in ointment, or even by consuming food rich in them, like nuts.
