# For Skin
Method 1: Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet
We all dream of staying young forever. However, despite our best effort, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines is inevitable as we age. Crow’s feet, also known as laugh lines or character lines, refer to the fine lines that radiate outward from your eyes because of repetitive facial motions such as laughing, smiling, or squinting.
While many turn to Botox or get facelifts, we show you how to use vitamin E oil to get rid of these signs of aging, as it is a much safer and cheaper option.
Simply mix vitamin E oil with some raw honey, fresh lemon juice, and plain yogurt to prepare an all-natural and incredibly effective anti-wrinkle mask.
Things you’ll need:
- Vitamin E oil (improves skin elasticity) – 3 capsules
- Raw honey (acts as humectant) – 1 teaspoon
- Lemon juice, freshly squeezed (acts as natural bleaching agent) – 1 teaspoon
- Plain yogurt (nourishes and moisturizes) – 1 tablespoon
Step 1. Combine vitamin E oil, honey, yogurt, and lemon juice in a container

Do this once daily for at least 2 weeks to get significant results; afterward, apply once every 3 days to keep the wrinkles away.
Method 2: Acne Scars
While getting rid of acne is a quite a task by itself, you are also left to deal with lingering scars that mar your appearance.
Vitamin E oil helps repair and heal the damaged skin to remove the acne scars, giving your skin a smooth and flawless look.

Method 4: Hyperpigmentation
Prolonged exposure to the sun and its harmful ultraviolet rays can cause excessive melanin production, which manifests in the form of uneven dark patches or dark spots, i.e., hyperpigmentation.

Do this daily till the hyperpigmentation is completely gone.
Method 5: DIY Salve for Dry, Rough Hands and Brittle Nails
