Why vitamin E should be part of your skincare regime

Anti-aging, pollution-fighting, and blemish-calming discover why vitamin E beauty is trending. Recently, the use of Vitamin E in the skincare regime has surged in popularity due to the 'glass skin' trend. TikTok-ers are posting videos on how to get the look by using Nivea Creme and a vitamin E oil capsule. Mix them, smother them all over your face, and you can have glass skin. But not all experts believe it’s a good idea. If you’re worried you may look sweaty rather than dewy, you can reap the benefits simply by investing in products that already contain vitamin E. After all, it’s gorgeously suitable for all skin types. @drsomjiskin 🌟 @NIVEA – a timeless classic in the world of emollient creams! ✨ #SkincareSecrets #NiveaLove #EmollientMagic #SkinScience #VitaminECream #Cosmeceuticals #HealthySkinJourney #BeautyEducation #TimelessSkincare #SkinBarrierHealth #NourishYourSkin #InstaBeautyTips #SkinCareRoutine #GlowingSkin #SelfCareSunday #SkinCareCommunity #BeautyBasics #LoveYourSkin #HealthyHabits #SkinCareAddict #BeautyKnowledge #EducateYourself #SkinCare101 #NaturalBeauty #SkinCareEssentials #HealthySkinHappyLife ♬ Lofi Vibes - Gentle State “Vitamin E is an important fat-soluble antioxidant and has been used in dermatology for more than 50 years,” says Molly Arnold, a registered associate nutritionist at Holland & Barrett. “It can help protect from negative effects of oxidative stress caused by UV exposure and pollution.” That sounds great. But perhaps more importantly, she notes that incorporating vitamin E into a skincare routine may also help reduce blemishes and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin E has moisturizing, soothing, and anti-aging properties that people frequently praise. “Vitamin E is often found in a cream or oil format that can be used topically, either on the face or on the body,” says Dr Eleanor Bradley, No7 Beauty science credentialing manager. “You can find vitamin E infused in face moisturizers or serums or in more concentrated ampules, often in combination with other antioxidant vitamins, like vitamin C. “My suggestion would be to incorporate a moisturiser or serum containing vitamin E into your morning skincare routine, to enjoy the full benefits of this ingredient, including protection against free radicals and the environment.” When it comes to pollution, living in an urban environment can lead to dryness, irritation, sensitivity, and even hyperpigmentation, according to Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme, a medical consultant skin expert and founder of Adonia Medical Clinic. “In a study on the How We Shop platform, 54% of those interviewed experienced dryness, and 82% of those interviewed were concerned about how pollution adds to this. Vitamin E is not only a powerful antioxidant, but also an effective moisturizer.” Vitamin E is found in many skincare and makeup products, including moisturizers, serums, eye creams, lip balms, foundations, and lipsticks. Ejikeme suggests looking for it listed as tocopherol or tocopheryl acetate in the ingredients. 7 of the best vitamin E beauty products 1.

MC Oluomo’s Membership Revoked by NURTW Amid Ongoing Power Struggle Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, has been officially stripped of his membership in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW). This was confirmed by the union’s Southwest Zonal Chairman, Olalekan Folorunsho, also known as Lekan Salami. Read Also: Breaking: Tinubu Sacks PTAD Boss Chioma Ejikeme, Appoints Yoruba Man, Tolulope Odunaiya Speaking on Tuesday, November 18, Salami explained that MC Oluomo forfeited his membership in 2022 after publicly tearing his union identity card in defiance of a disciplinary query issued by the national leadership. “Our constitution is explicit on such matters,” Salami stated. “Any returning member must submit a formal application to the national leadership for approval. Additionally, they must serve at the grassroots level for at least two years before becoming eligible to contest for any position.” Non-Compliance Renders MC Oluomo Ineligible Salami revealed that MC Oluomo has not adhered to these requirements, thereby disqualifying him from holding any office within the NURTW. The former Lagos State chairman’s actions and subsequent fallout highlight deeper issues within the union's leadership structure. The zonal chairman also reaffirmed the authority of Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the national president of the NURTW. Baruwa’s leadership was recently validated by a Court of Appeal ruling, which Salami said should put an end to disputes over the union’s presidency. Call for Order and Stability Salami called on the government to recognise Baruwa’s leadership and condemned disruptive activities within the union. “The NURTW in Osun State and other regions remains under the legitimate leadership of Baruwa. Gangsterism and unlawful acts have no place in our union, and MC Oluomo should be called to order,” he stated. This development is the latest chapter in the internal crisis plaguing the NURTW. While factions continue to challenge Baruwa’s presidency, the court ruling offers a framework for resolving conflicts and restoring unity across the organization.
