Most people know that Aloe Vera is magical for soothing burns, but did you know that it also works magic as a skincare product too? Here are five reasons you can use Aloe Vera to keep your skin clear and hydrated for longer.
It soothes irritated skin
If you suffer from eczema or are prone to sunburn, aloe vera gel can soothe irritation and provide hydration so that your skin repairs more quickly. You should be able to feel the gel working its hydrating magic on your sore or dry skin.
It contains healing vitamins
Aloe Vera is rich in vitamins as well as minerals like zinc, magnesium, and potassium. These all have healing properties and allow the gel to provide a protective barrier on your skin. The vitamins are also great for fighting the effects of aging.
It’s good for healing zits
If you use products to dry out your zits or prefer to pop them, you might find yourself left with a small scab on your face. Applying aloe to the dry area will not just soothe and heal it faster but make it appear less noticeable in the short term before you apply concealer.
It’s a great moisturizer
Aloe moisturizes skin without leaving it greasy. It’s a great product to use on your skin after shaving and even works as a primer for mineral based makeup products.
It reduces the appearance of stretch marks
At some point in their lives, most women will be faced with stretched marks as a result of the skin’s elasticity becoming damaged due to rapid changes in weight. Aloe Vera can be used to heal these marks and hide them too.
