One of those treatments is a great anti-acne treatments and natural sun protector call Zinc. Zinc Oxide is a natural mineral that is usually found in a powder form and resembles chalk or calcium.

Modern-day zinc moisturizers contain many natural herbal ingredients along with a base oil or water for moisturizing. One really great oil to use in any moisturizer is Vitamin E.

Vitamin E (also known as Tocopheryl Acetate) has amazing healing and regenerative powers to renew skin cells. The great thing about Vitamin E in natural moisturizers like zinc cream, is you can not only ingest it - but it works wonders topically as well.

Vitamin E, which was only discovered 80 years ago, is an antioxidant that will help you to fight free radicals. Good sources of vitamin E are walnuts, almonds, peanuts, vegetable oils and green leafy vegetables. Vitamin E is stored in your body’s fatty tissue, from where it assists with forming red blood cells, in addition to neutralizing free radicals.

Stretch Marks

  • Vitamin E oil has long been thought of as a treatment for stretch marks. To use the oil on stretch marks, rub the vitamin E oil into the deep marks and massage it in well so it penetrates your skin. Apply the oil at least once a day to notice changes in the appearance of stretch marks. Vitamin E oil is also found in some lotions and creams meant to reduce stretch marks. Newer stretch marks will be easier to treat than older ones.

Scars

  • Many people use vitamin E oil to treat scars and reduce the scars’ appearance. The oil is found in many creams and lotions made specifically for scar treatment. For just vitamin E oil, you can find it in capsule form. Poke the capsule with a needle and squeeze the oil out to apply topically to scars.

  • Vitamin E in combination with your Zinc Moisturizer, your skin should have excellent opportunity to heal and regenerate any acne scars, or general scars you may have as the zinc also acts as a natural sun block, preventing further UV damage and wrinkles or darkening of the skin.
