If your days consist of being pampered in the fashion of Marie Antoinette you won’t need to read this, but if your hands are a bit like mine you’ll understand the problem. It’s all very well investing your hard earned cents in the getting the glam factor but what about the finer points. A quick look down at my hands as I type and it occurs to me I might need to get rid of some of those unsightly red blotches and finer scars. The answer, apparently, is Vitamin E – one of natures best healing agents.
If you didn’t know this, and I didn’t, Vitamin E helps repair everything from damaged skin around the lips to acne scaring and burns and the best thing is you probably don’t need to spend tons of money on super advanced cosmic formulas to get the vitamins you need. Anything with a decent IU concentration will see your blemishes banished in no time.
No matter what your beauty budget I’m pretty sure most piggy banks won’t make a squeely noise with Kelkin Viatmin ‘E’ enriched creme. Available from Boots you can get some for a quite reasonably priced €6.75 and 2000IU per 100g it’s about the highest concentration they do.
There’s also the nourishing night-creme from the Body Shop which is perfect for those overnight repairs – dab a bit on your nails and cuticles in before you go to bed. If you’ve just divorced a Russian oligarch and have a bit of spare change to throw around take a peek at Lancome night recovery at €120.
Of course, I suppose, and this is a radical idea, that you could always get the vitamins through food. But on the other hand popping along to your local deli and asking if there’s anything on the menu that might be good for repairing stretchmarks might get you some very strange looks indeed – some things are best kept in a bottle !
