Results from the Jason Vitamin E Oil Treatment

Greetings all! How is your lovely Saturday afternoon thus far? Mine has been quite uneventful. I cleaned, organized and cleaned some more. I'd call it productive, although it is seriously, utterly boring. 


Remember when I was raving crazily about the Jason Vitamin E Oil (here) and I sworn by the healing properties of it? Not many days ago, I was telling you guys how convinced I am by it and how the oil is going to be part of permanent skincare routine... yada yada. I still believe it's an amazing product. I had some readers that emailed me and asked if the oil is greasy and if it absorbs well. I don't think I mentioned anything about that in the post, sorry for that. Yes, it is kind of greasy and I do recommend to use it 5 mins before you lay in bed to avoid getting it all over your pillow covers. Absorption is slow because it is a very concentrated oil, well, it's pure oil - do expect that it will take longer than a moisturizer. I've had no issues with my skin breaking out from it, and I've used it for 2 whole months.

Here's a no foundation, no concealer look I took a few days ago.

I am just wearing a bit of eyeshadow, Maybelline Falsies mascara, and the Rosebud lip balm. I should've used some concealer for under my eyes, but having no foundation on really legitimized the use of topically using the oil. I'm sorry I don't have "before" pictures because i just wouldn't get near a camera. My face was pretty much red and scaly and pimply all over and itchy. There were pimples growing underneath the skin...those were extremely painful. I also had scarring from it, being exposed in the sun during the summer.

I really owe it all to this oil, my skin has been the best it's ever been this year. It's more supple and brighter now than ever. I was strolling around Whole Foods yesterday to get some dessert and I noticed the oil was on sale for $5.99 (same bottle I have) and I saw many other brands in sophisticated glass bottles that I may try someday when I finish the one I have now.

In short, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that penetrates the many layers of the skin. It is said to have many healing properties, some of them being scaring and redness. I haven't read anything from people who have very oily skin yet. One of the Whole Foods people told me that it is great for people with extremely oily skin because an antioxidant-rich oil helps to balance out the imbalance of excess oil on the skin. Not sure the truth in it, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Link me to your blog, share your experience... let me know! :)

Wow, this has become so lengthy! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!


Oh, and this was the dessert that I ended up getting at Whole Foods yesterday! It is a petite Tiramisu mousse in a dark chocolate cup!

My Bad Skin Fix - Jason Vitamin E Oil

Hello friends!

I am back again, and excited for the weekend doing absolutely nada. Maybe some thrift shopping tomorrow, possibly. Hopefully.

Ah, I also wanted to share some updates on my skin. For the past 2 months, I've been suffering from breakouts and pimples and discoloration on my skin. I believe it was from a combination of hormones and stress. I haven't been motivated to wear much makeup either, but my skin is slowing coming around. I really owe it to the Jason Vitamin E Oil. I wrote a short review here. That was nearly 2 yrs ago!



Because my skin was inflamed, I wanted to take the natural route to heal it. After I wash my face, I would apply a few drops of this oil as a moisturizer and before bed, another few drops. Since this vitamin E oil is potent, it really softened my skin. I had bumps (like milia) around my chin and on the side of lips, and after using it for a straight week, the bumps are gone! Right now, my skin routine consists of a thorough cleansing, followed by a serum and then the oil. In the morning, I wash my face with a cleanser and go about my normal routine.


What it means:
+nourishes, moisturizes and helps regenerate the skin
+mix of Almond, Apricot, Avocado and Wheat Germ Oils help protect against fine lines 
+Vitamin E can help prevent the damage from the environmental elements
 +Vitamin E helps  decrease the appearance and roughness of wrinkles
+improve elasticity and helps promote healing of damaged skin



The oil claims to really penetrate and regenerate the skin. It's gotten rid of a lot of redness and blotchy, uneven textures on my face. I really really believe this is what healed my skin. While it's quite a heavy oil, the nourishment that it gave my agitated skin proved that Vitamin E is essential to our bodies. My skin's elasticity has improved as well as overall circulation. I've been using this routine for nearly a month and a half and my skin's been at its healthiest it's ever been. This step in using the oil has earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. I will show you guys some before and after pics in the next post.



Honestly, the best part of this oil is that it's a thrifty buy. I sought this out at my local Whole Foods for around $6-8 (can't remember the exact price) and it comes in a rather nice 4oz bottle that seems to last forever because it's a concentrated oil. You don't need much of that stuff to cover your face. It's one of the best skincare finds I've ever stumbled upon. It's also awesome that it's all natural. You can find even higher concentrations of this oil. The one i have is 5,000IU, and they have up to 32,000IU. Another thing I like about it is the lovely almond scent. Absolutely divine.

Again, very versatile product. The oil can be used all over the body, mixed with other moisturizers and so on. I think it's great as an eye cream substitute if you want prevention. It's what I have used it for before my skin went haywire =p So there you have it. I am in love with this and will continue to repurchase. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this oil to anyone who's having skin troubles or anyone who wants an extra boost of antioxidants and moisture in their skincare routine.
