Aloe Vera for the skin
– The gel from the thick leaves of the aloe vera plant is used for the skin.
– Aloe vera gel moisturizes and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is therefore particularly suitable for acne and eczema.
– The leaf gel can be applied pure to the skin or extracted and mixed with other active ingredients to make an ointment.
The medicinal plant was already known as a household remedy in ancient times and was used by Cleopatra for skin care, as the plant contains numerous vitamins, minerals and essential oils. Due to its high concentration of vitamins A, C and E, aloe vera is often used to protect skin cells.
The B-group vitamins it also contains can increase cell metabolism fivefold. Aloe vera gel has a soothing and restorative effect, especially on sensitive skin.
