Benefits of aloe vera gel for skin:
A lot of people suffer from skin problems like rash or acne. Aloe vera can act as an anti-acne medicine. It contains vitamin C and vitamin E which are helpful to keep one’s skin healthy and radiant.
Aloe vera is rich in vitamins and can contribute to cell turnover, a natural process that involves the constant shedding of dead skin cells and the replacement of it with younger skin cells, over a period of time. It also has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that can help cure and heal skin ailments. It can also help lighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone and complexion.
Benefits of using oil on your skin:
Combining oil with aloe vera gel makes for a great skin glowing serum because oil can help increase and stimulate the production of collagen in the skin that can help keep the skin healthy as it can increase skin elasticity. Thus, the skin can remain youthful and younger for longer periods of time.
Rose water can also help promote better skin health and skin complexion, thus improving one’s skin glow and can reduce skin dullness.
