This is why you may want to avoid using Vitamin E to remove scars!
We all know there’s much disinformation on the Internet, and sometimes we seem to fall victim to such disinformation, while struggling to find a solution to one of our problems. For example, if you’ve been looking for a natural way to get rid of scars, you might have realized there are many websites recommending that you’ll get Vitamin E capsules and smear them on your scar, to promote its healing. As it turns out, this is not only innefective: it can actually be a terrible idea!
I’ve found a 2005 article called”The Effects of Topical Vitamin E on the Cosmetic Appearance of Scars” that was published by the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery; this is a scholarly article in which research was made to assess the effectiveness of Vitamin E as a scar removal product. Do you know what they concluded from this research? Most participants not only didn’t notice positve results… their scars actually got worse, since they deveoped allergic reactions! With that in mind, I would recommend you avoid trying this method of scar removal.
It doesn’t mean you should altogether avoid using Vitamin E for treating scars, though: while it doesn’t work topically, it may indeed get you some results as a health supplement. Actually, that’s something you should really keep in mind when it comes to removing scars: it takes more than just rubbing an ointment in your scar and hoping for the best. In my opinion a holistic treatment is best. And with that I mean:
- Choose the right natural products that work better in your specific type of scars.
- Learn about complimentary techniques, which are as important as the product you’re using.
- Make some changes to your diet, to make sure you accelerate the healing process.
If you want to know more about the holistic approach to removing scars, I recommend getting the Scar Solution e-Book. This is an impressive digital guide with comprehensive information on natural products / methods / procedures for removing scars of any kind!
