Unlike many moisturizers that you can buy at the store, aloe vera is not greasy and will not leave a film on your face. It works to effectively unclog pores and soften the skin, keeping it hydrated. 

For those who may have eczema, aloe vera works to alleviate dry skin, itchiness, and discomfort. Even those with acne can benefit from using aloe vera, as it can reduce inflammation. 

Aloe vera contains an abundance of vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene. These properties make aloe anti-aging. It leaves dry skin feeling smooth while increasing collagen and skin elasticity. The antimicrobial properties and anti-inflammatory work to reduce age lines and clear skin blemishes. 

If you get sunburn or your face, or anywhere else on your body, aloe vera can be used to treat the sunburn.

The minerals and antioxidants help speed up the healing process, helping prevent dry, flaky skin from forming.
