Moisturizes skin

Aloe vera moisturizes your skin. It increases the elasticity of your skin and makes it healthy and smooth. When applied, it penetrates deep into the skin and restores its pH balance. So, since it is in gel form, it is not oily and can be used on all skin types. All you need to do is peel off the outer layer of the aloe vera leaf and rub the gel after taking it out. Massage your face, neck and other parts of your body every day. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Prevents premature ageing

Due to its high antioxidant content that stimulates skin regeneration, aloe vera gel can be used to delay signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. Make a one teaspoon aloe gel mask by mixing one teaspoon of aloe vera gel with one teaspoon of ground oatmeal and half a teaspoon of olive oil. Apply this mask all over your face and neck. After 30 minutes, using wet hands, wipe off the mask and wash with cold water. Applying this mask once a week will give you good results. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Increase hair growth

Aloe vera gel is not only a skin care ingredient, but it can also help with your hair problems. It helps to remove dead cells from your scalp, thus preventing your hair from falling, leading to anti-dandruff. The gel balances the pH balance of your scalp and promotes hair growth. To make a nourishing hair mask, mix aloe vera gel and castor oil in a 2:1 ratio in a bowl. Apply this mixture on your scalp. Leave it overnight and wash off with a mild shampoo in the morning. Repeat this twice a week for healthy and shiny hair. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Fights acne

Aloe vera gel has antibacterial properties that help fight the bacteria that cause acne and breakouts. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that heal your skin and stimulate the growth of new cells. To make an anti-acne aloe vera gel mask, mix one teaspoon of aloe vera gel with half a teaspoon of honey and half a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Apply this mixture on the affected area. After 15 minutes, wash off with water. Do this twice daily to reduce the appearance of acne on your face. You can freeze aloe vera gel in an ice cube tray and then apply it on the acne affected area two or three times a day. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Treats sunburn

Aloe vera gel has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for use on your skin to treat sunburn. The gel will heal your sunburned skin and keep it moisturized. While mitigating sun damage, the gel also removes suntan. To apply an aloe vera gel mask to treat sunburn, extract the aloe vera gel and squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Mix it well and massage the affected area. Wash off with cold water after 20 minutes. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Minimizes black marks

If you want to get rid of your unsightly stretch marks, you can use aloe vera gel on your skin. Though it will not completely remove the marks, it will minimize the visibility as it repairs skin damage and restores skin’s elasticity. Mix  equal amounts of aloe vera gel extracted from the plant with rose water. Massage this onto your stretch marks in gentle, circular motions for a couple of minutes. After 20 minutes, rinse it off with cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. Use this pack twice a day to see visible results. Traditional  Aloe vera 

Lightens dark lips

Your lips may turn darker over a period of time due to your lifestyle factors. If you want to soften your lips and make them soft and supple, use aloe vera gel instead of chapstick. Aloe vera exfoliates your lips, removing dead skin cells and leaving your lips soft and supple. To make an aloe gel pack for your lips, mix 1 tablespoon of coarsely powdered rice with some aloe gel to make a paste. Gently rub this aloe vera scrub on your lips for 5 minutes and then wash it off. Use this scrub once a week for noticeable difference.
