Benefits of an Aloe Vera Serum for the Skin
When it comes to hydrating skincare ingredients, Aloe vera is one of our all-natural favorites. With benefits far beyond just soothing a sunburn, an Aloe vera extract and aloe leaf juice can provide soothing, hydrating and balancing advantages for all skin types, including dry, sensitive and oily skin.
Here are some of our favorite uses for this all-natural, skin-boosting ingredient.
Extreme hydrating properties
You will mostly see Aloe vera incorporated into moisturizers, serums or creams because of the natural ingredient’s intense hydrating capabilities that allows skin to feel more moisturized. As it is mostly water content, it absorbs incredibly easily into the skin. Plus, it is super lightweight and does not hang heavy, thick, or greasy on the face.
Soothing to sensitive skin
Those with sensitive skin types need not worry! Aloe vera is super lightweight and calming so it’s usually ok for every skin type!
Aloe vera absorbs very easily into the skin, making this ingredient perfect for oily skin as it helps to immediately reduce the appearance of excess shine and help skin look mattified and fresh. Providing long-lasting hydration to oily complexions, your skin texture will start to feel smoother and less shiny over time.
It also helps to soothe, comfort, and nourish extra dry skin with hydration while also improving the skin’s natural moisture barrier. With continued use over time, Aloe can often help dry, flaky skin become softer and feel more plumped.
Smoothing benefits
Aloe vera can also help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. The leaves of this plant contain a plethora of antioxidants including, beta carotene, vitamin C and E, all of which can help improve the skin’s natural firmness. It also contains amino acids, which can help tighten pores. By keeping the skin plump and hydrated, it will help prevent the loss of elasticity in the skin and provide great smoothing benefits.
A great anti-inflammatory
Known for its cooling properties in soothing sunburns, rashes or burns, Aloe vera also has wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation and redness. With continued use, Aloe vera can help to alleviate inflammation and itchiness in the face.
