Used for centuries to treat and soothe wounds, Aloe Vera is a staple ingredient in hydrating, cooling skincare. In gel form, the plant is a staple for sooothing and nourishing your skin after a little too much sun but many more brands are now including this old-school beauty ingredient in moisturisers, masks and even cleansers.

If you suffer from redness or skin irriation, incorporating Aloe Vera in to your routine can help to calm and soothe, evening out the tone and appearance of your skin. Aloe Vera has also been noted to help soothe acne, taking down redness and healing any sore, difficult breakouts.

We've selected our favourite Aloe Vera infused beauty products to help you incorporate this ultra-hydrating ingredient in your skincare routine.
