Aloe Vera Benefits for Skin
Have you ever asked yourself, is aloe vera good for skin? You may be familiar with the soothing and healing benefits that natural aloe vera bestows upon the skin, especially when it comes to treating sunburn, but the benefits of aloe vera for skin span well beyond this. Aloe vera is rich in antioxidants and anti-microbial properties that helps to strengthen your skin and protect it from infection. Furthermore, aloe vera offers anti-inflammatory benefits to give immediate and lasting relief to sensitive, inflamed and reactive skin conditions. Additionally, aloe vera skincare is very hydrating and helps to lock vital moisture into the skin, preventing dry skin, itching and flaking. Covering relief from insect bites, minor abrasions, eczema, psoriasis and accelerating wound healing, aloe vera is soothing and cooling on the skin. This is particularly beneficial to deliver an array of benefits for acne, burns and skin prone to redness.
Is Aloe Vera Good for Dry Skin?
The super hydrating benefits of aloe vera make this skincare ingredient a great choice for dry skin. Additionally, aloe vera gel offers moisturising elements to lock in moisture, enhance skin protection and encourage the natural healing of the skin. This is particularly helpful for skins that experience itching, flaking, eczema or psoriasis. Moreover, the healing benefits paired with aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory properties help to alleviate the symptoms of dry skin, whilst leaving the skin calm, soothed and more comfortable. It’s for this reason that aloe vera features within soothing skincare for sensitive skin also. The Mukti Organics Aloe Vera Moisturiser makes a great choice of moisturiser with aloe vera as this all natural formula is readily absorbed to provide lasting moisture.
How to Use Aloe Vera on the Face
Although aloe vera is a natural plant that you can snap a piece off to apply the gel directly to the skin, it is often best to choose aloe vera enriched skincare products for the face. These formulations combine additional ingredients such as calendula, Hyaluronic acid or other skin soothing ingredients to amplify the benefits for your skin. To get started, the ASAP Gentle Cleansing Gel is a luxurious soap-free soothing cleanser enriched with aloe vera, that can be used to remove makeup and purify the pores. This makes a great start to your skincare routine. Next, the Pelactiv Collagen Gel Mask expertly calms and soothes inflamed skin, and makes an ideal overnight treatment mask to hydrate and calm. To further elevate the benefits of aloe vera, try applying the Aspect Hydrating Serum underneath the AHAVA Time To Hydrate Essential Day Moisturizer to seal in the skin’s moisture and strengthen your skin’s protective barrier.
