1. Boosts healing of wounds
Aloe Vera is highly beneficial for burns, cuts, and other injuries. This is because Aloe Vera boosts the healing of wounds, and reduces the time of healing. This is true especially in the case of 1st degree and 2nd-degree burn. It’s a great skin burn treatment. It also helps to speed up skin cell reproduction as much as eight times. Aloe Vera is also known to penetrate the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) faster than water.

 

2. Makes for an effective, all-day natural deodorant
An aloe vera based deodorant can be used directly after underarm shaving and waxing. It is natural, convenient stick, and long-lasting. When the temperature is rising and the pressure is on, keeping that fresh feeling from the start of the day is a real confidence booster.

3. Fights skin aging
Aloe Vera gel has vitamin C and E, beta-carotene in abundance. Therefore, it has anti-aging properties. It also contains antimicrobial properties and is anti-inflammatory. It also helps to eradicate skin blemishes and diminish age lines. Additionally, it helps to increase the production of collagen in the body and improves skin elasticity.

 

4. Moisturizes your skin – especially if you have sensitive skin
Unlike regular, skincare moisturizers, Aloe Vera cream when used as a moisturizing gel doesn’t leave a greasy film on the face and the skin. In fact, it does just the opposite – it unclogs the pores and softens the skin. It can be used as an aftershave-treatment. This is because the Aloe Vera cream helps to keep your skin hydrated and heals burns by razor and smaller nicks & cuts. It also helps treat dry skin.
