Benefits of facial care with aloe vera

You don’t have to use expensive perfumery face masks to moisturize your skin, because with a simple facial with aloe vera you can naturally care for and moisturize your skin.

The better your skin is moisturized, the plumper and wrinkle-free it looks. There are of course many creams, tinctures and serums that provide your skin with moisture, but you can also take care of your skin with herbal remedies.

The skin loses moisture and can only store it poorly with increasing age. It feels dry, tense and, in addition to the deeper indented wrinkles, there are also small wrinkles caused by dryness.

The skin is thirsty. The cosmetics industry of course has some remedies and helpers ready, but Mother Nature has also taken care of this and has some plants for you, such as aloe vera for facial care .

Benefits of aloe vera

Aloe Vera is known for its excellent nourishing effects and healing properties on the skin. You should either have an aloe vera plant on the windowsill or a pure (!) Aloe vera gel at hand, because aloe vera can be used in many ways in skin care:

Basically, it donates an incredible amount of moisture. Their nourishing ingredients also ensure that wounds or other skin injuries or skin irritations such as sunburns heal faster. The aloe vera also serves as a moisturizer.

If you own an aloe vera in the garden, winter garden or on the balcony, you can make a great moisturizing mask yourself. To do this, cut off a piece of the thick-fleshed leaf and carefully peel off the hard, green outer skin. The resulting light green jelly-like core is the part of the aloe vera that contains the active ingredients that your skin is waiting for.
