Aloe Vera Skin Benefits

Aloe, the inside gel of the leaf, is known to heal burns. I’ll cover how that works, and the other wonderful benefits of aloe vera.

The gel of the aloe vera plant contains a carbohydrate that stimulates your skin to create more collagen. Not only does it create more collagen, it organizes it better than it would have without the aloe vera. The aloe suppresses inflammation while also boosting anti-inflammatory markers. It promotes formation of new blood vessels in damaged tissue. Studies show that aloe vera decreases burn healing time by almost 4 days. This includes the damaging effects of sunburn.

Aloe can also provide these benefits to cuts, abrasions, inflammatory acne and even frostbite. It can relieve the inflammation and itchiness of eczema, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.

Aloe is a humectant. That means it attracts and traps moisture to skin, making it good for those with dry skin.

There is evidence showing that aloe vera can reduce stretch marks and fade dark spots due to it’s compounds aloesin and aloin.

It naturally contains vitamins C & E, and salicylic acid. When you add this to the ability to repair tissue and prevent sun damage, aloe potentially slows skin aging. (Sun damage and smoking are the top two enemies of your skin.)
