As one of the most common aloe vera products, the anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects of aloe vera gel have many benefits for the skin, especially the delicate face and neck skin. Many beauty products contain aloe vera and you can also use pure aloe vera gel directly.
When used properly, aloe vera gel not only helps to moisturize the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles but also reduces the appearance of acne.
To moisturize the skin
1. Gently apply aloe vera gel with your fingertips.
Gently pat the aloe vera gel onto your face and enjoy the full benefits it brings.
There is no need to massage deeply, as aloe vera gel being absorbed deep into the skin may cause a counter effect and dry out the skin. Use only a thin layer of aloe vera gel. There is no need to apply it very thickly, and applying more won't provide additional benefits.
For best results, let the aloe vera gel stay on your face for 10 minutes, then wash it off with cold water and pat your skin dry. Leaving aloe vera gel on your face for too long may cause your skin to dry out.
2. Wash your face with aloe vera gel 2 times a day.
With proper use, aloe vera gel can replace cleansers and moisturizers. Apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel to your face every morning and evening, rinse off with cold water and pat your skin dry.
Do not rub the skin of your face too hard, especially the delicate skin around the eyes. Rubbing hard can damage the skin and make it more fragile.
3. Make a moisturizing scrub to nourish oily skin.
If you have very oily skin that is prone to acne, then traditional moisturizers may worsen the condition of your skin and make it more prone to breakouts. Now don't worry, just mix brown sugar with aloe vera gel for a powerful scrub that gently removes dead skin cells that clog pores and moisturizes your skin at the same time.
Step 1: Pour a small amount of brown sugar onto the palm of your hand. Add the aloe vera gel, making sure all the brown sugar is well moistened.
Step 2: Smooth the mixture evenly over the entire face, avoiding the delicate skin around the eyes.
Step 3: Gently massage for 1-2 minutes, then rinse off with cold water and pat the skin dry.
Use this scrub at least twice a week, or as needed. If the skin becomes very oily, stop using it immediately.
Tip: To leave the aloe vera gel on the skin longer or overnight, you must first dilute it with another moisturizing liquid, such as olive oil.
