As you may already know, Aloe Vera is a wonder plant. It boosts a range of benefits: anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving and more.

The sap found within the plant’s green leaves has remarkable calming and healing properties, containing vitamins and minerals, enzymes, amino acids, natural sugars and agents – all around a healing plant!

Aside from its healing properties, Aloe Vera is great for the skin. If you want healthy, youthful, radiant skin then Aloe Vera is a natural choice. Just look at these benefits!

• Smoothens, cools and cleans skin
• Helps tone skin
• Makes skin soft and radiant
• Diminishes wrinkles, acne, pimples, age spots and blemishes
• Lightens dark spots on the face
• Minimize cracked and dry skin
• Acts as a natural barrier and shields skin from dangerous toxins
• Relieves heat on the skin caused by sunburn

When you do use raw Aloe, just remember not to include the yellow substance on the inner side of the leaf skin when you extract the sap. The gel you extract should be clear.

Make Aloe Vera a regular part of your daily skin care and calming routine. After a long, tiring day, slather a soothing face night cream to give your skin a youthful, radiant glow in the morning! Here’s the skin-calming recipe to get you going.
