my mom swears by vitamin e cream. she’s used it everyday for nearly 25 years and it was the only cream she used while pregnant – she doesn’t have a single stretch mark. vitamin e is known for its antioxidant properties and is said to prevent wrinkles.
i love this vitamin e lip care spf 15 ($6) because it is the only lip moisturizer that doesn’t make my skin react horribly. it goes on really smooth, isn’t overly shiny once applied, and doesn’t have a sweet, sticky smell or taste (so i don’t end up just eating whatever i’ve just applied the way i do with some of the scented stuff out there). plus, i love the spf factor since i’m incredibly anti-sun. supposedly there’s vanilla flavor in there but i can’t really tell. i gave one to my boyfriend’s brother a few weeks ago when he told me his chapstick still gives him chapped lips. he said that he loves the vitamin e lip care stick because it doesn’t leave the dried up white crust that a lot of lip balms and glosses tend to do.
i buy these when body shop has their 3 for $10 (or was it $12?) because i keep one everywhere: on my dresser, on my nightstand, in my bathroom, in my purse, in my makeup/toiletries bag, and in my car. i think because i always have one of these within reach, they last forever for me.
