Skin Care Tip: Vitamin E for dry skin

I used to be bothered by dry itchy skin on my arms, legs and thighs. During the day this wasn't too bothersome but during the night I was constantly disturbed and thus my sleep was affected. Some of the dry skin moisturizers that I tried had so much perfume content that they caused my already dry/irritated skin to burn for a while. Some of the moisturizers I tried that did help, helped for a few hours, their application never seeming to last through the night. I then began taking vitamin e gel capsules (400 I.U.) daily. Since I began taking this vitamin I have found the nightly itching and dry skin annoyances to have stopped. In addition to this benefit, my skin feels overall softer.
