Skin and Hair Benefits of Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a super plant that is in use for centuries in several cultures for its health, beauty, skincare and medicinal properties. Egyptian queens used it as a part of their regular beauty regimes. It carries vitamins, antioxidants, number of enzymes, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids and many more components that accentuate the skin benefits of Aloe Vera. Since there is so much in just one plant; it is used extensively in cosmetics and marketed widely for “Aloe Vera benefits for Face & Skin”.

Aloe Vera is actually proven to be great for face, skin, hair, and heels. With so many benefits, it is for sure a boon for the bride to be! Certainly, the bride will be getting her pre-wedding services but she also needs the extra care and love that aloe vera provides. Even a short period usage of it can help the bride look flawless and glowing from inside out. It will provide all the benefits if used thoroughly on skin and hair. We recommend it to be included a month before the wedding. If there’s no time left, 7-10 days is good enough to give the bride the luminous skin and satin-like hair to flaunt 😉

Here are a few ways to introduce Aloe Vera into your bridal beauty routine

Aloe Vera treats Acne

Aloe vera helps to reduce hyperpigmentation in acne scars. It reduces the overproduction of melanin, a darker pigment that can make acne marks more visible. Make a simple Aloe Vera mask for face and use it daily to cure acne naturally.

Aloe vera Moisturises Skin

Regular use of aloe vera hydrates the skin and moisturizes it well for healthy skin. The skin stops flaking, and dead skin peels off. It unclogs the pores and evens out the skin. Aloe vera can be used as a scrub. Add 5 teaspoons of brown sugar with Aloe Vera extract. Rub this in circular motions and wash it off to get the amazing results.

Aloe Vera can be used to fix hair damage and to make the hair smooth and silky. Apply raw aloe vera extract to the scalp. Shampoo after half an hour and you will instantly see the difference.

Khyati Chauhan

I am not a fan of using raw aloe vera. As there are more than 118 types of aloe vera available and you don’t know which type you are using. Some can really dry your skin whereas few can react. It’s better to find a packaged product containing aloe vera which has been stabilized for your personal use. Your skin is everything. Don’t use anything without knowing the details.

Aloe vera is really good for all skin types but best for sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin because it contains Salicylic Acid which helps to reduce reddishness and breakouts from the face.

What is the best way to use it:-
Take a grated cucumber 🥒 + aloe vera Gel + few drops of lemon 🍋 + sandalwood powder/ gram flour. Make a smooth paste, apply and keep it for 30 – 40 mins and then wash it off with normal water. With the regular use of this mask… skin will feel soothing and refresh and it’s a good tan removal too. Also one can apply in hairs because of its properties its gonna help in growth.
