E is for Excellent

Excellent moisterizing power that is!!!
VITAMIN E = skins bestest friend!!!

There are tons of moisterizers out there that contain one of natures most effective dry skin emollients - vitimine E!! Instead of spending anywhere between $20 - $200 (those numbers just sounded good ha ha) for a bottle of moisterizer that contains vit E as ONE of it's many ingrediants (some of which are totally unpronouncable "what even is that") why not go straight to the source?!?!

"how" you ask???

here's my little secret........

Vitamin E softgel capsules from your friendly market (Target, Wal-Mart, ect ect) in the vitamin section!

"wait.....arn't you sposed to swallow those things?"

well, Yes and that definately is wonderful for healthy skin, hair and nails (oh yeah and a strong healthy heart) but.............

If you want an excellent way to attack dry skin on your face or your body........all you need is......
*Vitamin E softgels
           &
*a safety pin or needle

Hold the capsule securely betweem two fingers and your weapon of choice ha ha in the other hand and give the capsule a good poke (two pokes work best) till you see the liquid start to leak out.

Squeeze all of the liquid vit e (for my face i use 4) into the palm of your hand and swirl it with your fingertip to warm it up (warming it will allow for easier application)

Apply to areas of troubling dry spots or apply all over your pretty face (that's what i do as i suffer from dry skin)

After applying allow a good hour or two to fully soak in before applying make-up (ha ha or make-up will slide right off eeek) I do this as a Sunday afternoon or a night treatment after washing my make-up off to avoid that problem.

Tips.......secure your hair back away from your face to avoid getting any in it (i learned that the hard way ha ha ha i looked like slick rick when i was finished)
.............if you are applying it to your hands then put gloves on or everything you touch with be vit e'd (ooops) ha ha
............your face will be shiny and wet looking until the vit E is fully soaked in, but it's sooo worth the wait! ( my son say's "mom why are you ALL shiny ha ha ha). Your skin will be thanking you over and over and singing songs of bliss!!!.......ok, maybe that's just me singing ha ha ha

If you find that you just can't stand the shiny, thick feeling of the vit E straight up then you can instead squeeze the liguid from the softgel into a squirt of your regular lotion and mix with your finger in the palm of your hand before applying as usual.

From shining to glowing in no time and for under $4!!!!

p.s.......this is a great way to top off the sugary lemon facial scrub treatment from my last blog =)

much love & more to come,
