When you think of an aloe vera plant, do you then find that you immediately think of a sunburn? The gel inside of an aloe vera plant can provide your skin with a cool, soothing sensation – which can be quite comforting if you are trying to help alleviate the sting of a suntan gone wrong. But, while aloe can come in handy at these times, skin care products formulated with aloe have been thought to have many benefits including astringent, moisturizing and soothing qualities as well offering antioxidant protection.
Aloe vera extract possesses a wide variety of valuable vitamins, such as vitamins A, B, C, and E, that together can contribute to worthwhile skin care benefits. And certain aloe vera oil extracts may contain viable astringent qualities, which can help keep the appearance of excess oil at bay.
While any skin type, yes both oily and dry, can reap the benefits of aloe vera formulated skin care products, those with sensitive skin tend to really enjoy the cooling and hydrating qualities associated with these formulas. Skin care products formulated with aloe can make for a soothing way to help cleanse and tone your dry-looking, sensitive skin instead of many traditional foaming or gel cleansers which may strip your skin of its natural moisture, leaving you with a complexion that is clean—but also dry-looking.
Broad Spectrum SPF will help prevent sunburns and the skin aging effects of the sun’s harmful rays, so you should apply it regularly every single day – even if you have a skin-soothing solution on hand like aloe vera gel or lotion.
If you haven’t tried any everyday skin care products formulated with aloe vera yet, don’t wait until the summer or until you end up with an unintended sunburn.
