While vitamin E is generally considered safe for the skin, it's not recommended to leave it on your face overnight.
Here's why:
- Potential for clogged pores: Vitamin E is an oil, and applying it before bed can increase the likelihood of clogging pores, leading to breakouts.
- Increased sensitivity: Some people experience increased sensitivity to vitamin E, especially when used overnight. This can result in redness, irritation, or even allergic reactions.
- Not necessary for optimal results: The benefits of vitamin E for the skin are generally achieved with shorter application times.
Instead of applying it overnight, consider using it as part of your daytime skincare routine. You can incorporate vitamin E into your moisturizer or serum, and apply it in the morning after cleansing and before sunscreen.
