What Are The Benefits Of Aloe Vera For Your Skin?

Aloe Vera is a staple ingredient in many skin care and body care products that are designed to hydrate and help repair your skin. Extracted from the leaves of the aloe vera plant, Aloe Vera gel has also been used for centuries to treat and soothe wounds. If you’re keen to learn more about the key benefits of using aloe vera on your skin, as well as the very best aloe vera infused products, then keep reading our expert guide.

Why Aloe Vera Is Good For Your Skin

If you suffer from redness or dry, irritated skin, incorporating Aloe Vera into your daily skincare and bodycare routine can help to calm, soothe and even out the general appearance of your skin. What’s more? Aloe Vera is a powerful anti-inflammatory that absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.

1. Aloe Vera helps soothe sunburn

Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable and even painful in severe cases. You can soothe sunburnt skin by applying Aloe Vera on the affected area daily. The core properties in Aloe Vera will help restore moisture and take the redness down.

2. Aloe Vera can help small cuts and abrasions

Aloe Vera can soothe skin which has been scuffed or cut. When used on the affected area, the anti-inflammatory properties of Aloe Vera can help provide relief from pain while minimising scarring, thanks to its collagen-boosting properties.

3. Aloe Vera can soothe psoriasis and eczema 

Aloe Vera is hugely hydrating and cooling, which can help alleviate the itchy, dry skin that is a symptom of skin complaints such as psoriasis and eczema.

How To Use Aloe Vera On Your Face

Aloe vera is completely safe to use on your face and is especially beneficial when mixed with other skincare ingredients that help hydrate, brighten and restore your skin. Aloe Vera can also help soothe acne-prone skin by taking down the redness and helping to heal painful, sore breakouts.
