How about a direct intake of Antioxidant? Yes please!
Vitamin E is a wonder drug as it is both nutrient and antioxidant. NOW Foods’ Vitamin E-Oil contains a potent amount of 23,000 IU, also known as tocopherol, and the oil in its purest form is extremely versatile!
But guys, don’t worry, I’ll spare you all the jibby-jabbah-sugar coating infos one can possibly put to make this entry interesting.
So, this is one of the gazillion things I personally use from SUPP+ under my so-called stack of Beauty-slash-Health Regimen. We are all aware of vitamin-e as being an antioxidant with the numerous ad supplements we’ve probably seen on tv growing up but what does it really do?
E-oil is both Oral and Topical but I mainly use this as a supplement - that means oral.
So you must be wondering WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VITAMIN E-OIL AND A NATURAL SOURCE OF VITAMIN-E?
Okay, I’ll address this very vital question with so much technicalities because I like to be complex.. no.. not really, let me just google this one and provide you an easier in-depth info. Haha!
See? Googling makes my life so much easier. So for its benefits:
Vitamin E is the ideal solution for all of your skin and hair problems as:
It is rich in antioxidants that fight free radicals to heal and repair damaged skin cells.
It works to repair and improve the appearance of damaged tissues.
It removes acne scars and dark spots.
It moisturizes and hydrates skin.
It boosts the production of collagen and elastin in skin cells, thereby drastically improving skin elasticity.
It helps reverse the signs of aging to give brighter and younger-looking skin.
Lol. So going back to E-Oil, I take it directly along with my drink.
For topical use, this has a really heavy and thick consistency and you can actually dilute it with other essential oils if you feel like using it as moisturizer and gently massage on desired area. For oral, take 8 drops daily, along with a meal, you have an option of taking the drops directly in your mouth. I’m gonna tell you upfront, it smells and tastes fishy and it’s disgusting. Disgusting as in I would throw up if I can’t slide it down my throat for the next 3 seconds as soon as the oil landed on my tongue. Ha. I’m not even kidding. This is the epitome of “Tiis Ganda” pero mejo yucky talaga siya. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
So much for honesty right there but yeah, that’s the reason why I put the droplets along with my drink and since the oil won’t really blend with any liquid it will just float around till you chug down the last ounce of whatever’s inside your glass.
A 1 fl.oz. bottle lasts me for 2-3 months depending on how obedient I am in taking it but for the price you’ll be paying, you’ll definitely be using it for a while.
There are two different types of E-Oil (there’s E-Liquid available too but let’s just stick to oils for now okay? #adhd problems, I blab a lot) readily available at SUPP+:
Perfect way to cap off a really long day today: DETOX!
A facial detox is a regimen wherein it eliminates excess oil and skin toxins. Most especially our day to day stress + pollution encounter accumulates so much on our skin, hindi nakakaganda ang stress and oil mga bes! Swear.
For those not familiar of its benefits... I’m just really maarte and it wasn’t till recently that I learned the actual benefits as well haha so we’re even if you don’t!
Halts the overproduction of sebum.
Deep cleans pores.
Evens out your skin tone.
Tightens and firms your skin.
Detoxifies.
This is a once a week procedure and I advise not to overdo it. For this DIY-at-home skin pampering I only used 2 products: NOW Solutions European Clay Powder and Jojoba Oil available at SUPP+ (www.supp-plus.com).
European Clay Powder is good for normal, combination and oily skin. For those who have a really sensitive skin the right mud for you is the Moroccan Clay Powder. Oils are optional, for dry skin type, add a few drops of Jojoba Oil and/or Lavender Essential Oil.
Also, make sure to do a skin test first before using any products in general. Just put a small amount on your arm/hand and wait for any reactions. We don’t want you burning up in the middle of a regimen and blame it on me, ha! Uso ung testing muna kaya.
So, it comes in a 170g canister and it will definitely last you for a good number of months. Even if the direction advise to use 1 tablespoon, half of a teaspon does wonders belive me. Ang tipid!
This is how half a teaspon looks like. If you have a smurf-size-small of a face like me, this is more than enough.
All you need is the mud powder, oil (if your skin is dry), and water. And yeah, a mixing spoon or metal mixer, whichever is it that you prefer - not unless you want to use your fingers too, it’s all up to you. Really.
Mix the mud with cold water first until you get that batter and add few drops of Jojoba Oil and/or Lavender Essential, mix, then start applying generously on your face with a brush.
La la la. Waiting game now begins, which is btw my weakness. Patience isn’t really my forte and so is waiting. You have to let it dry for about 30 minutes or so - even if your bottle instructions says 15-20 it doesn’t fully dry up that fast! It’s either it really takes time to dry up fully or I just really have a knack for not following instructions. Haha!
So, what I love about mud masks is it stretches your skin big time as it dries up - it tightens, like reaaallyy tightens, your skin. Be patient though, says the girl who was just ranting out about being impatient. If you have a spotty complexion, it will draw out impurities. And at the beginning, for some, they will break out, it’s normal don’t panic. Lucky for me, I suppose, I didn’t.
Once it’s all dried up, wash up! Sorry naman sa tight shot mga bes, I’m still learning to selfie using an actual camera and not my phone. HAHA! But seriously, all jokes aside, can you see how somewhat poreless and clear my skin is?
So after that, dry up, tone, put on your moisturizer and get ready for bed. Also as a reminder, if you’re using an alcohol-base toner, I suggest you skip it for the mean time and let your skin breathe as it may irritate your skin. If it’s water-base, it’s fine.
As for my moisture lock, I use Argan Oil as my base, because one will never enough and extra is my middle name, and Bellaplex for my anti-aging cream. Again, both of them are available at SUPP+ of course.
For my morning-skin: ta da! Well, I’m sleep faking as you all know it but main focus here is my skin, ano ba. Haha! Don’t you just love waking up oohh so fresh! #freshpasalettuce
Anyway, yeah, this is one of my gazillion rituals to think I’m the really lazy type sa lagay na ‘to ha?
