SKINSuitable for all skin types,

at the benefits of using aloe vera gel to treat skin conditions.

a moisturizer by women who use mineral make-up regularly, aloe vera gel is great
for face. Applying aloe vera gel on skin prior to application of make-up can
prevent the skin from drying.
For men: Aloe vera gel can be used as an
aftershave. Its healing properties can treat small cuts caused by
shaving.

vera gel has antimicrobial properties that kill bacteria and anti-inflammatory
properties that reduce
skin
inflammation. It allows the skin to heal quickly and naturally with minimal
scarring. Aloe is moisturizing but doesn`t give skin a greasy feel, so it`s
perfect for anyone with an oily complexion.
3. Aloe vera helps fight
common problems of skin aging.Let`s face it: as we get older,
everyone begins to worry about the appearance of lines and the loss of
elasticity in our skin. The vitamin C and E present in
aloe gel can improve our skin`s
natural firmness and keep our skin hydrated.
4. Aloe vera can lessen
the visibility of stretch marks.Whether due to a growth spurt,
weight change, or pregnancy - many of us are plagued with unsightly stretch
marks. These marks appear due to minor tears in the layers of the skin caused by
sudden and excessive stretching. Aloe vera gel can help hide these stretch marks
by healing these wounds.
5. Aloe vera can be used to treat
sunburn.Aloe vera gel can reduce the pain and swelling you
experience during sunburn. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps
replenish its moisture. When the skin is hydrated, then it will recover faster
from the sunburn.

blend well. Apply the mixture all over your face and neck or over your entire
body. Leave it for 15 mins and wash with cold water. You will get a fresh,
younger, dewy and glowy skin in minutes. If you want to thicken the face pack
then you can add besan/multani mitti/sandalwood powder etc to your
