While collagen begins to deteriorate in our 20s, a study done at the University of Tennessee showed “that vitamin E-deficient diets have a greater percentage of soluble collagen in the skin.”
Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue keeps our skin wrinkle-free and smooth.
Vitamin E is also an antioxidant, a regulator for vitamin A, sun protectant and sun-burn treatment, and works for the treatment of scars. Many people that put vitamin E straight from a capsule onto their faces noticed smoother and younger looking skin.
