Aloe vera is perhaps one of the most widely-used soothing skincare ingredients out there. When it's not mixed into a product, it usually comes in the form of a ready-made gel, which has extracts from a real aloe vera plant and does wonders for the skin on both the face and body. In fact, aloe vera gels are popularly used as moisturizers, since they're so lightweight and fast-absorbing. It's perfect for those who want to hydrate their skin without the heavy feeling!
Why is aloe vera good for the skin?
Pure aloe vera can treat and soothe minor burns or sunburn. It can also treat cuts and wounds to relieve pain and heal them while boosting collagen production and fighting bacteria. While aloe vera is ideal for hydrating oily skin, it can also treat dry skin to seal in moisture. To add to that, it can also help calm itchy skin caused by eczema and psoriasis. Lastly, aloe vera’s anti-inflammatory effects can help treat acne, too!
Ahead, we list 10 different aloe vera gels that you can use as your moisturizers:
