This is how you use aloe vera for skin care

1. It cleanses and removes acne

Aloe Vera is a great skin cleanser. Its enzymes gently exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin moist.

Aloe Vera accelerates skin healing. Many treatments use rosehip with the gel. This is a good combination and does not cause scarring.

Aloe vera plant hormones accelerate the growth of skin cells. The best results are obtained with regular use.

• Apply the gel to the affected area as soon as possible, several times during the day until the area has healed.

5. Rejuvenate

This medicinal plant keeps the skin looking young:

• Keeps skin moist:  wrinkled skin indicates a lack of hydration. Nourished skin is supple and wrinkles do not form as quickly.
• Helps skin to regenerate:  Continuous regeneration of skin cells prevents skin from aging.
• Rich in antioxidants:  these fight free radicals.

We would also like to mention that the gel can be used on the whole body in addition to the face. The skin can be treated with a combination of aloe vera and the oil of your choice (coconut, almond, jojoba, etc.).

Regular use of aloe vera helps prevent dryness, scarring and rashes. The gel is well absorbed into the skin by rubbing, leaving the skin moist and the skin does not feel oily.
