Vitamin E: this is how it should be used to prevent wrinkles
This substance prevents premature aging and promotes healing.
For many years, vitamin E has been considered the vitamin of youth, since there are many benefits it offers to the skin to keep it healthy.
According to the National Institutes of Health, “Vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient that acts in the body as an antioxidant, protecting cells against damage from free radicals (compounds formed when food is converted into energy).”
This nutrient is beneficial for skin health as it helps prevent skin diseases, prevents premature aging and promotes healing, according to a study published in the Indian Dermatology Online Journal.

Age and recommended amount
- Adolescents between 14 to 18 years: 15 milligrams.
- Adults: 15 milligrams.
