Restorative, healing and hydrating, aloe vera gel is one of the most beneficial ingredients that you can use on your skin. Aloe Vera gel has long been known for its healing properties as it is packed with vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids.
And whilst we already know aloe vera gel is especially useful when it comes to treating sunburn, did you know that a good quality aloe vera gel can also help soothe acne, give your complexion a radiant glow and take down redness? If you’re curious to discover the best aloe vera gel skincare for your face, then keep on reading.
What is aloe vera gel?
Aloe vera gel is extracted from the leaves of the aloe vera plant and is used to treat multiple conditions on our skin, hair and bodies. As a general rule, the higher the percentage of aloe vera in any skincare product, the better. There is no such thing as 100% aloe vera skincare though as it does require the addition of some preservatives to extend its shelf life.
