Benefits of Aloe Vera for Skincare

Hello, Beauties! Today, I'll be touching bases about the huge benefits for adding Aloe Vera into your daily skincare regime! Let it either be Mist, Gels or Essence Masks, Aloe Vera is the perfect step to take down the road to clear and beautiful skin!

WHAT IS ALOE VERA?:

Aloe Vera is a gelatinous substance you can find in a Aloe Plant. It can be used for various cosmetic purposes, including soothing burns!

COSMETIC PURPOSES:

• Clears Acne
• Reduces the look of Stretch Marks
• Highly moisturizing
• Fights aging skin

ALOE VERA FOR ACNE:

Aloe Vera contains certain hormones called Gibberellins and Polysaccharides, which helps kill acne causing bacteria and stimulates the growth of new skin cells.

Acne, such as white heads, are inflamed, sebum filled pores. Aloe Vera has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties which helps reduce stubborn swelling, redness and inflammation.

ALOE VERA FOR STRETCH MARKS:

Since Aloe Vera has nutrient properties, it's ideal for naturally reducing and or preventing stretch marks. Aloe Vera has properties that a great for healing wounds on the skin. Stretch marks are small or large tears in the skin, which typically effects the epidermal and dermal layer of your skin.

If you don't know what Epidermal and Dermal layers of skin is, it's actually 2 of the 3 layers of your skin. Starting from the Epidermis, which is the outer layer of your skin, to the Dermis, which is beneath the epidermis that contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles and sweat glands. And then there's the last layer, which is the Hypodermis, which is the deepest layer of your skin that is made of fat and connective tissue.

Aloe Vera can effect the Epidermal and Dermal layer of your skin, due to its healing properties. Since Aloe Vera is used as a healing treatment, and stretch marks are wounds/tears of the skin, it's the perfect natural solution to reducing or preventing stretch marks, wherever your concerns may be!

ALOE VERA FOR MOISTURE:

This also plays in with what I said above! To avoid stretch marks, you must keep the area highly hydrated, and Aloe Vera is the key to hydration!

Using Aloe Vera as a moisturizer has many benefits, such as:

• Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Helps with Dry and Irritated skin
• Helps with collagen

ALOE VERA AS ANTI-AGING:

I always say this, because this is just a huge belief of mine. The true key to Anti-Aging is HYDRATION. Lack of water intake and moisture to the skin can cause your skin to age quicker. So the more you hydrate your skin and your body, the more collagen build up you'll create!

PRODUCTS:

98% Aloe Vera Soothing Gel Mist by E-Choice (118g)

This product is great for on the go hydration, especially in dry areas or climates. It doesn't give me a long lasting hydrating feel to my skin, it kind of feels like it's completely absorbed after 10mins, and I have a normal skin type. But, remember, everyone is different! This might leave you hydrated all day!

WHERE TO BUY:

I bought this from TesterKorea.com for 1,950 KRW(USD ~ $1.72)

15minutes: Mask Pack Fresh Aloe by Naisture (23g)

This mask sheet is not only cheap, but it's very soothing as well! Every time I'm finished with a pack, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated! Plus, there's extra essence in the packet, so you can store it for later to replace your daily essence until you run out.

WHERE TO BUY:

I bought this from ShopMissA.com for $1 each.

99% Jeju Aloe Fresh Soothing Gel by The Face Shop (300ml)

I fell in love with this product before I even bought it! Why? Because it's HUGE!

The Gel itself works fairly nice, and I'll be doing a proper review on it in the next couple of weeks of use. So far, it's leaving my skin silky smooth and I'm getting used to applying thick layers of this at night before I got to bed. It absorbs into my skin quite quickly, which is great, because who wants to have a sticky face before going to bed?

WHERE TO BUY:

I bought this product from a store in H-Mart for about, $8.00 I believe. I don't know exactly where you can buy this product online, but I believe it's sold in a jar instead of this squeezable tube.

I hope this post was well informed enough for you!
