Make Your Own Vitamin E Moisturizer At Home

    One thing we know from science regarding skin care is it vitamin E is very helpful in things like repairing scar tissue and other skin damage. Creams that are vitamin E infused tend to be pretty expensive as far as I've noticed, but if you shop online wisely, you can have a decent supply of cream up to 100% vitamin E infused and change it daily depending on how thick you want the concentration to be.

    A few years ago, I bought this small bottle of Vitamin E Oil from iHerb, which ships to Japan quite reasonably and the oil itself keeps quite well. The problem I had with the oil is that it's to oily. As entirely unsurprising as that problem may be, the thickness of the oil meant that I haven't used it regularly nor even barely at all. I didn't feel very comfortable putting it on my face because it would stay sticky, for lack of a better term, for a prolonged period. While it wasn't an all-day problem, it was longer than I was comfortable with. Now, I've also found some really nice smelling lotions at different places including this one that I bought at Seven Eleven. I am a sucker for anything with Yuzu. I love the smell but it's just a basic hand cream and isn't terribly useful in fighting against aging and skin damage. It's just a basic moisturizer to keep the hands from drying out really.

    While clearing out the medicine cabinet on a cleaning binge during our socially avoidant CoVid times, I came up with an idea. Looking at all the little things I've acquired over the years, I imagined that there must be a better way that these things could be used together. Utilizing a cream-safe, non-absorbent surface, like the lid of a different and empty cream container, I poured a little bit of the Vitamin E Oil and and little bit of the yuzu and lemongrass hand cream into the space. The oil is highly viscous and will move quickly, so not doing this on an incline would be recommended.

    Once I have a little of each, I mix the two together with my finger. The resulting concoction behaves more like a cream but still has enough of the Vitamin E Oil to be super hydrating and actually healing. I have actually noticed a difference in some of my little spots of skin damage after using this cream. I don't use it everyday as I have normal to oily skin and it would lend itself too easily to a huge acne breakout, but around once a week I usually mix together another batch my scented vitamin E lotion and apply it generously to help rejuvenate my face, neck, and hands.

    If you're looking for a good basic home facial or just a more custom scented Vitamin E cream, you could do worse than combining this online oil and whatever hand cream or other basic moisturizer you prefer. The bonus is that if you are crafty with online lo0tion shopping, you can do all of this without ever leaving your home.
