Aloe vera is a plant that has been used for centuries as a natural medicine and skin moisturizer. It is a good source of antioxidants, including beta carotene, vitamin C and E, and contains Auxin and Gibberellins, two hormones that promote new cell growth and have anti-inflammatory properties. Aloe vera gel has great moisturizing properties and is rich in polysaccharides, which give it a gel-like appearance and are highly hygroscopic (water-loving) and bind to moisture. Its structure forms a protective film for the skin, which helps give it its healing properties and aids protection of the epidermis and the skin’s ability to restore itself. Aloe vera can be used to treat various skin conditions, including acne, eczema, and sunburn, and can be found in various products including face wash and toner. Some of the benefits of using aloe vera on the face include its anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce pain, swelling, and soreness of wounds or injuries, and its ability to support the production and release of collagen, which can speed up wound healing time and limit scarring. Aloe vera is generally safe for use on the skin and overall health, but drinking or consuming an aloe supplement could be harmful.
