Liquid Vitamin E to Get Rid of Scars & Stretch Marks
Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory properties and is a repairer of damaged skin, a deep moisturizer, a skin protector and an anti-aging agent. Vitamin E contains powerful anti-oxidant properties that restrict free radicals from forming and damaging the skin further. It will also keep the skin strong, soft, hydrated and flexible as it heals. This is a helpful treatment for skin damaged by scars and stretch marks.

Scars and Stretch Marks
-
Scars form as a result of skin repairing itself after trauma or injury. The fibrous tissue is easily distinguished, because the scar cells are of lesser quality, lighter in tone than normal skin cells and more functional than aesthetically pleasing.
When the elastin and collagen in the skin are pulled past their point of elasticity, stretch marks form. There is ripping or breakdown of the skin fibers.
Scar and stretch-mark removal has been been the focus of much medical and cosmetic attention, but total removal has been elusive. Medical interventions have even injured skin further. Natural home remedies, such as vitamin E, are safer and have no side effects.
Vitamin E Treatment
-
Apply liquid vitamin E liberally on top of scars and stretch marks, rub in thoroughly and leave on overnight. This should help the healing process and lighten discoloration of the scar tissue and stretch marks. For best results, apply vitamin E as soon as you see the scar or stretch mark, because the longer it has been since the skin trauma, the less effective any skin regimen will be. Mix aloe vera paste with vitamin E oil and apply several times a day for extra healing.
Tips
-
Keep skin soft, strong and flexible by taking vitamin E capsules, 200-400 I.U., with your dietary supplements as an internal means of healing. Also eat vitamin-E-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, eggs, sunflower seeds, almonds, olives, blueberries, cucumber, wheat germ and protein-rich foods. It is very important that the vitamin E be taken while the injury is still in the healing stage.
Aloe vera, Indian gooseberry, green tea, tea tree oil, olive oil, neroli oil, lavender oil, bergamot oil and chamomile oil are also used to help scar tissue heal and fade.
