✨ The best skincare may not always come in a "skin bottle" form!
Today we are going to delve into the science of "Vitamin E," a nutrient that is like a cell shield, or that many nutritionists refer to as "Edible Skincare." 🧬🔬
Do you know that every minute our body is exposed to sunlight, UV radiation, pollution, smoke dust, PM2.5, occupational stress, or even normal energy burning processes in the body, these produce so-called "free radicals," or unstable molecules, which run to take electrons from our healthy cells, especially at the "cell membrane," which is made up of fat? This process is called Lipid Peroxidation, which is the main cause of cell degeneration, skin loss of hydration, skin structure weakening, and signs of premature aging. 🥀
🛡️ Mechanism of action of "vitamin E" at the cellular level
Vitamin E (especially in the form Alpha-Tocopherol) is a "fat-soluble" vitamin. This property is very important! Because our cell membrane is fat, vitamin E can penetrate the cell membrane. When free radicals try to attack the fat on the cell membrane, vitamin E acts like a "death unit" by giving up its electrons to free radicals to stop the chain reaction of immediate destruction (Chain-breaking Antioxidant), keeping our cells safe and structured.
💧 Why is vitamin E "skin care from the inside"?
1. Skin Barrier Support: When the membrane is strong, the skin can retain moisture better. Reduce skin loss of water (TEWL). Make the skin look full and not dry.
2.Rejuvenate and protect from UV: Vitamin E reduces micro-inflammation caused by UV radiation. Although it cannot be a substitute for sunscreen, it is a supporter to make cells more resistant to damage and recover.
3. Protect Collagen: When reducing cell destruction from free radicals, it is equal to protecting collagen fibers and elastin from being destroyed prematurely.
🤝 Synergy Phenomenon: Vitamin E + Vitamin C (The Ultimate Duo)
The magic of the body is that once vitamin E has given up its electrons, it is temporarily exhausted, but if there is enough "vitamin C" in our body, vitamin C will repair and restore electrons to vitamin E, come back to life and protect cells! This is the scientific reason why eating fruit with high vitamin C along with good fat with vitamin E is the best combo for skin cell care.
🥑 A natural source of vitamin E that we add every day.
One can easily get vitamin E from a natural diet, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, avocados, olive oil, bran oil, spinach, and broccoli.
💡 Trick to eat for the body to actually absorb.
Because vitamin E is fat-soluble, eating foods or supplements containing vitamin E is "required with a good-fat meal" as a component to encourage the gallbladder to release bile, help break down fat and carry absorbed vitamin E into the bloodstream and convey it to cells throughout the body.
⚠️ Nutritional precautions
Although very useful, vitamin E is a vitamin that accumulates in the liver and adipose tissue (unlike vitamin C, which is soluble in water and excreted through urine). Therefore, if you want to supplement it as a supplement, you should not take it in too high a dose (the recommended daily dose for a typical adult is about 15 mg or 22.4 IU) and you should consult a specialist if you have an anticoagulant disease.
The most enduring self-care is internal-to-external balancing, a healthy diet coupled with bondage, care and rest will help support the body system to function perfectly. 🌿✨
