Written by beautyikon

Aloe vera is a soothing beauty ingredient which helps keep your skin healthy and repairs damaged one with its healing properties. The good thing about aloe vera is that it can be used by people of different skin types. It can also be used in various forms – as a gel, oil, juice, the whole plant and in creams, soaps and tablets. So reap in the benefits of aloe vera by making these DIY face packs as per your skin type.

Beauty benefits of aloe vera

  • Its anti-inflammatory properties help in treating blemishes, acne and other skin problems.
  • A minor cut or wound, a burn or a rash can be effectively treated with aloe vera.
  • The gel is extracted from the leaves of the plant and when applied to the skin, softens dead skin cells leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth upon regular use.
  • It also delays visible signs of ageing like fine lines and appearance of wrinkles.
  • Aloe vera or aloe-based products come in handy in summers as well as winters. Its cooling properties provide instant relief from sunburns in the summer by hydrating the skin and in winters, it helps get rid of dryness by adding moisture to the skin.
