Finally it’s warm outside, the sun is shining brightly, the skin is getting more and more tanned. It’s time to take good care of body and face! I assume you know what may happen to your skin after summer if you don’t pay enough attention to it. Don’t wait until the summer comes to end – your skin needs hydration and nourishment now! There is nothing that would help you achieve this goal faster than aloe. Why so? Because apart from conditioning the skin, aloe is also able to soothe, repair and promote tissue regeneration.

Today I’ll tell you how amazing aloe can be. Obviously, apart from giving you a list of aloe benefits in skincare, I’ll also describe you its applications, and there are plenty of them! Enjoy!

Aloe is a real genius!

I hope you all would agree with me that aloe should be awarded the nobel prize or become some holy plant of all doctors – dermatologists in particular. It helps skin heal faster, relieves irritations and can replace various personal-care products: skin care products, hair care products and even eye cream. Few plants have such potent anti-ageing, anti-oxidation and reviving effects. On the top of that, aloe moisturizes, soothes, protects and nourishes.

Additionally, converting aloe into a cosmetic is the simplest thing on the Earth. You don’t have to weigh, boil, pour, crush, combine, squeeze, measure anything! All you have to do is slice a leaf and remove the skin to reveal plenty of miraculous gel – that is 100% of pure aloe gel.

What nutrients does aloe offer? Constituents of aloe

People recognize aloe for the nutrient-rich flesh that is hidden underneath the leaf skin. It offers precious vitamins, micro-elements and minerals like:

• vitamins A, C and E
• folic acid
• many B-group vitamins (as the only plant, aloe really contains vitamin B12)
• magnesium, zinc, calcium, selenium, sodium, chrome, iron, potassium

All the benefits and applications of aloe

• Soothes and cures sunburns and scalds. Therefore, instead of buying some tanning aftercare product, choose aloe gel.
• Relieves itching and deals with peeling skin. Aloe is able not only to replenish skin with water but also cure and prevent psoriasis.
• Few know that aloe aids in removing bruises faster that they vanish naturally. Just massage a portion of aloe gel into bruised skin.
• Cooled in a fridge aloe appears to be a perfect puffiness reducer. It leaves eye skin looking well-rested.
• Aloe gel can be used to promote hair growth. Apart from that, it also makes hair soft and glossy.
• Aloe makes a potent constituent of face serums. Many people apply aloe juice in its pure form to face, but I like it paired with white tea extract, therefore I use Nanoil Aloe & White Tea Face Serum. To m, this is one of the best face care products I’ve been using lately. My complexion has never been so smooth, radiant and moisturized before.

How to introduce aloe into a daily skin ritual?

Well, I have aloe growing on my windowsill and I use it to prepare my DIY cosmetics. For example, I mix it with clays, facial masks, balms or use solo. However, when it comes to a face serum, I’d rather treat my skin with a professional cosmetic composed by experts. I also have a hydrolate aloe water and I simply adore the way it works. I’ve never had a better facial toner in my life.
