The centre of attention: vitamin E, a natural antioxidant with anti-ageing virtues, which blocks the action of free radicals on the skin and offers skin protection by reducing cellular damage due to too much UV exposure. Any other skin protection properties? This vitamin also contributes towards maintaining the skin's elasticity and hydration. It even offers anti inflammatory action (which is particularly welcome when you have sunburn!).
