TikTok is a real treasure trove of beauty tips. Some are so innovative that once you try them, it’s hard to give them up. One tip particularly loved by beauty enthusiasts involves adding the “vitamin of youth” to a moisturizer for more beautiful skin than ever.

On TikTok, besides funny videos, you can find truly valuable content about fashion, beauty, and makeup. Women from all over the world share their tricks, many of which are genuinely ingenious.

Some users show how to cleverly style shirts or sweaters to make them look impeccable, while others demonstrate how to achieve the perfect cat eye with eyeliner. Meanwhile, Narjisse, a 32-year-old beauty enthusiast, shared her secret to eternally youthful skin.

Add vitamin E to your moisturizer

In her video, the woman demonstrates how she pierces a vitamin E capsule and mixes its contents with her favourite moisturizer. She mentioned that thanks to this mixture, her skin became as smooth as a baby’s after applying the treatment once a month. The video quickly gained popularity on TikTok.

“I just wanted to say that I tried this trick last night and woke up with the most wonderful skin I’ve ever had,” commented one user. Many others shared similar opinions. However, Dr. Mamina Turegano noted that she would not recommend it for oily and acne-prone skin.

Vitamin E has a beneficial effect on mature skin. It smooths wrinkles

It’s worth knowing that vitamin E is an extremely powerful ingredient affecting the skin's healthy appearance and elasticity. It works both when taken orally and applied externally. Commonly known as the “vitamin of youth” because of its properties to combat free radicals that accelerate skin aging, including collagen breakdown.

It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and discolourations and additionally improves skin firmness. Using it guarantees a youthful appearance. Additionally, vitamin E has anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties.

It also reduces the visibility of stretch marks and scars. Supplementation also positively affects hair and nails. Natural sources of vitamin E include almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, as well as spinach, broccoli, and avocado.
