Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that helps protect the skin and maintain its health. Check out these skin changes that indicate vitamin E deficiency.
Hyperpigmentation
Vitamin E deficiency can result in uneven skin tone and dark spots, particularly after sun exposure.
Dry and Flaky Skin
Vitamin E helps maintain moisture balance in the skin. That's why vitamin E deficiency can lead to dry, rough, and flaky skin.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Vitamin E deficiency can cause reduced skin elasticity, which can cause wrinkles and fine lines on the face.
Skin Irritation and Redness
A deficiency of vitamin E can make the skin more prone to irritation, redness, and inflammation as it reduces the ability to protect against oxidative damage.
