Some of it’s benefits for our skin include:
Keeps Skin Clean
Aloe is perfect for eliminating dirt from the skin. Oily skin benefits from the natural saponins that unclog pores.
Calming effect
Aloe provides a cooling effect on the skin. After a long day in the harsh sun, an aloe lotion or the gel from the leaf will refresh and soothe your skin.
Moisture
Aloe has been used as a moisturizer for eons. Even if you have combination, oily, or sensitive skin, aloe works well because it moisturizes without the greasiness.
