According to Cleveland Clinic dermatologist Amy Kassouf, the antioxidant vitamin E can benefit skin, especially during the summer when skin may be getting more sun rays than at other times of the year. Topical vitamin E can enhance moisturization, and may reduce sun damage from ultraviolet light (although this does not mean you can use vitamin E instead of sunscreen). Of course, eating more foods with vitamin E is a good idea, but you can also take a supplement (no more than 15 mg a day).
