Many people use aloe vera gel to treat sunburns and skin rashes, but did you know that this gel also has powerful beauty properties? It can clear up acne, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and even eliminate fine lines around your eyes—making it a must-have addition to your beauty routine! In this article, you’ll discover all of the benefits that aloe vera gel has to offer when it comes to improving your skin's appearance.
What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe vera, also known as aloe barbadensis and aloe verum, is a succulent plant native to tropical climates. The gel inside its leaves contains many chemicals, including salicylic acid, that have great benefits when applied to the skin. In addition to soothing sunburns and bug bites, these compounds can help treat acne, inflammation and rosacea. To get clear skin with little to no effort at all, try adding aloe vera gel to your skincare routine.
Benefits of Aloe Vera on Skin
Long before women in Hollywood were using aloe vera juice as a go-to moisturizer, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans were using aloe vera gel to treat sunburns and other wounds. Today, aloe vera is used in a variety of products from toothpaste to makeup due to its astringent properties. In addition to keeping your skin moisturized, it also works as an anti-inflammatory agent and can speed up wound healing time by removing dead skin cells and bacteria.

The best way to clear up skin is to cleanse, tone and moisturize daily. Start by cleaning your face morning and night with an oil-free cleanser that does not dry out your skin; then use a toner, which will also help remove any residual dirt left behind from cleansing. Finally, to close pores without drying out your skin (which would cause it to produce more oil), moisturize twice daily. It may take five days or so, but you’ll start noticing results.
What are some uses?
Aloe vera gel can be used as a spot treatment for acne, a daily moisturizer, a gentle exfoliator, a hair mask, and more. It's gentle enough to use on sensitive skin, and it's also great for all skin types. The vitamin E in the aloe vera gel helps to keep the skin hydrated, which is why so many people have been using it as a part of their skincare routine. I love that aloe vera is perfect for anyone!
Where can I buy it?
You can find aloe vera gel at most health food stores, as well as online. I would recommend buying a small bottle to start with since you only need a little bit for each application. Be sure to read the label carefully before purchasing, and look for a gel that is organic and free of added fragrances.

The first thing you'll notice about avocados is that they're fattening. Just one ounce of avocado packs nine grams of fat (about as much as a whole egg). That may seem like a lot, but not all fat's created equal. Unsaturated fats like those found in avocados reduce your levels of bad LDL cholesterol while boosting your levels of good HDL cholesterol. Both are heart-healthy benefits. People who eat avocados tend to have lower body weights and BMIs than people who don't. And if you find yourself struggling with portion control when it comes to other foods, an avocado can help. One study published in Nutrition Journal found that eating half of a fresh avocado with lunch helped dieters feel more satisfied and full—and therefore eat less—than those who didn't have any guac on their sandwiches.
Dos and Don’ts
Aloe vera gel is amazing for so many reasons—it’s hydrating, healing, and can even help to fade scars. But there are a few things you should keep in mind when using it on your skin. First, be sure to test the gel on a small patch of skin before applying it all over your face. Some people can have an allergic reaction to aloe vera, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Twenty days
That’s how long you need to give yourself if you want to know what happens when you eat avocados every day. But you must stick with it—because once you stop eating avocados for more than three days in a row, your body will slowly go back to normal and start craving unhealthy foods again. So make sure you keep your avocado habit up!
One month later
Your risk of heart disease may be reduced by up to 40 per cent. Your good cholesterol (HDL) may rise by 20 per cent. You could drop six pounds or more. You might experience relief from acid reflux and sleep apnea. If you have asthma, it may improve. If you’re diabetic, your blood sugar levels may even out. And if you’re prone to migraines, they could go away completely. All because of one tiny little fruit: The avocado!
