Read MoreDo you have sensitive skin that gets easily irritated? Are you tired of buying a new ointment for every little skin issue? If you have been looking for a catch all herbal solution for all your needs, look no further than aloe vera! Cooling, hydrating, and gentle, this juicy herb has a host of uses for your skin. Whether you need to quickly soothe a burn or moisturise your skin after a shower, aloe can do it all. You can use it naturally or DIY your own skincare concoctions. Read on to find out 5 ways in which aloe vera makes a difference for your skin.
Whether you accidentally grabbed a dish that was too hot, spilt hot tea on yourself, or sat too long in the sun, burns can be a painful experience. Aloe can cool down your skin and soothe mild to moderate burns, including sunburns. Research has shown that aloe gel is better than common burn ointments for healing and relieving pain from burns. What’s more, it’s less expensive than over the counter medication.
Do you randomly find little cuts and scrapes on your body and don’t know how you even got them? We’ve all been there. Whatever the reason for your injury, aloe can help heal it and relieve the pain. Not only does the collagen in it work quickly to heal your skin and reduce scarring, but it also fights off bacteria, keeping your wounds from getting infected. Reach for some aloe gel next time you scuff up yourself in some way.
If you are looking for a lightweight, water-based moisturizer, aloe vera gel is for you. It gets absorbed into your skin quickly, leaving no greasiness behind. This makes it ideal for oily skin. You can use it on your entire body, not just your face. Aloe is known to treat dry skin as well, so if you find dry patches or rough elbows and knees, lather on some aloe gel for juicy skin!
Aloe is an anti-inflammatory. This means that when those unsightly zits pop up on your face, it can help reduce the redness, swelling, irritation and reduce lesions. You can use fresh aloe gel or skincare with aloe in them, either way, this is a powerful acne busting ingredient.
Why not try cleansing from the inside? Packed with antioxidants and vitamins that help your skin glow, Kapiva’s Aloe Vera juice also clears acne and neutralizes the effects of UV radiation. It is loaded with nutrients such as Vitamins B, C, E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and potassium.
You might get scars for many reasons, ranging from acne to injuries. Often, scars are accompanied by hyperpigmentation and can leave marks that affect not just our skin but our morale too. Aloe has a compound that limits enzymes in our bodies that help make melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its colour. This helps fade the scars and evens out your skin tone, so grab some aloe gel and dab it on your scars.
Kapiva Aloe Vera Gel is created from freshly pulped aloe vera leaves to retain maximum benefits for your skin. As its anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness and itching, this skin gel can be a good aftershave product. This gel is mostly water, hence it helps to lock the moisture content in your skin making it look smooth and soft. The combination of a soothing sensation and refreshing fragrance of this gel is sure to win hearts.
