Hello. Being an antioxidant, it accelerates the healing of damaged skin and prevents scars from becoming permanent. In addition, its moisturizing property keeps the skin hydrated and helps repair damaged tissue. Apply the oil extracted from a vitamin E capsule on the affected skin. Massage it gently for 5 to 10 minutes. Some good dietary sources of vitamin E include olive oil, coconut oil, avocados, spinach, sunflower seeds, wheat germ, nuts and whole grains. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties that help repair damaged hair follicles and prevent tissue corrosion. Mix the contents of 2 vitamin E capsules in 2 tablespoons of warm olive or coconut oil. Massage the mixture onto your scalp using your fingertips in circular motions. Wait 30 minutes, then wash your hair as usual. Repeat this hair growth treatment 2 or 3 times a week.
