    Vitamin E has been a topic hotly debated in the care of the skin for some times, but scientific evidence leaves no room for debate and demonstrated without a doubt helping the skin in different ways. When looking at a label of any cosmetic skin care, will not find the word "vitamin E" on the label, such as labeling of cosmetics international prohibits the use of the word "vitamin" on the label, and vitamin E is very likely that will be displayed as tocopherol. 

    There are some benefits of tocopherol or vitamin E. Let's see-
    • It is not a sunscreen but it helps to protect skin from UV radiation.
    • It has a good moisturizing property.
    • It contains excellent wound healing property.
    • It has also anti-inflammatory action.
    • This is an anti-oxidant, which prevents from aging.
    • It helps skin to protect from environmental pollution.
    The ultraviolet rays of the Sun can be excellent get a Tan, and for that body their own vitamin D, same exposure to rays also cause a number of negative reactions in the skin. The first and most famous in the short term are sunburn (erythema) which leads to degenerative in the cell changes, causing patches of old age and loss of elasticity, which in turn will result in a dry thick skin, as well as wrinkles and lines. Another factor to take into account with a ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is cause of photosensitive skin and also cause a growth of cancerous, starting with the Actinic Keratosis and Solar Keratosis and then develop basal cell and squamous cell and malignant melanoma cancer. When vitamin e applies on skin, Erythema, burns cells reduced, the skin of the chronic damage induced by UV - B and carcinogenesis of the photo have experience, but we must highlight is not yet a solar filter action. 
    Vitamin E also has proved effective for reducing the amount of skin tumours, but I must point out that prevent damage of the Sun is always essential. Although there is no absolute protection from the Sun, cosmetics and moisturizers that contain antioxidants, like vitamin E, vitamin c and beta-carotene, can counter the damage to cell membranes, DNA and proteins in the skin due to oxidation caused by sunlight. These materials do not work as sunscreens, but help to minimize the adverse reactions of the skin, especially when used with solar filters. Vitamin E is combined with vitamin C and applied on the skin, help to reduce the formation of sunburn cells and offers good photo protection. Besides that, vitamin E protects the skin fibroblasts and glycosaminoglycans as well as elastic fibers and glycoprotein. 

    So, why are you late? Take vitamin E to protect sun damage and aging. Take care. Have a good day.

    Caffeine is a naturally occurring CNS stimulant found in tea, coffee, chocolates and some soft drinks.  Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, alleviate fatigue, increase wakefulness and alertness, improve concentration and focus. Usually for healthy adults, 200-300 milligrams of caffeine is tolerable or not harmful. But, more than this dose can result for a harmful effect. When the dose is above 700-800 milligrams, it may cause insomnia, restlessness, stomach discomfort, tachycardia, muscle tremors.

    Lets see the negative effects of excessive intake of caffeine:
    • Caffeine is addictive. Once you have become accustomed to excessive dose of caffeine, the body begins to beg the momentum you have. If you don't allow caffeine to get adjust with your body, then you feel irritated, tired and depressed.
