Saffron Sandal & Vitamin E Cream Benefits

Using saffron sandal vitamin E oil for your face can help you in several different ways.

Keep in mind the evidence to back up these benefits varies, and some of it is largely anecdotal.

1. Hyperpigmentation

Dark patches on your skin can be caused by too much pigment (melanin), which is triggered by hormones or other causes. Called melasma, this condition is believed to be treatable through the use of topical saffron sandal and vitamin E.

Hyperpigmentation may be only moderately affected by using topical vitamin E oil. The most effective way to use vitamin E to treat hyperpigmentation is to pair it with vitamin C.

2. Preventing aging and wrinkles on your face

Saffron Sandal and Vitamin E are high in antioxidants, and it affects blood circulation. That might be why people notice a difference in the firmness and structure of their skin after topical use of vitamin E oil.

Vitamin E and other natural ingredients rich in antioxidants are generally accepted as a treatment for delaying wrinkles, also called photoaging.

3. Treating acne scarring

Some people swear by saffron sandal and vitamin E as a treatment for acne scarring. However, studies to understand if vitamin E works for this purpose indicate it isn’t as effective as one might think.

While vitamin E does promote circulation, it doesn’t appear to speed healing. That means that using it for acne scarring might not give you the results you want.

Here’s what happens when you use vitamin E topically:

4. It reduces sun damage

Products containing vitamin E help thwart UV-induced damage in the same ways E-rich foods do—by rendering free radicals harmless before they can damage cells. Numerous studies also show that topical vitamin E can decrease DNA damage and lessen the redness and swelling of a burn. But because it only has a natural SPF of about 3, you shouldn’t use it as your sole protection from the sun’s strong rays.

5. It can help reduce the appearance of scars

Free radicals also make it harder for scars to heal; try applying vitamin E oil to diminish more permanent marks.

6. It may help moisturize the skin

While vitamin E’s main role in creams and lotions is as an antioxidant, it could help soften skin as well. Preliminary research suggests that the topical form of this vitamin helps skin hold on to water, a key factor not only in softness but in healthy, resilient skin.
