Aloe vera not only looks good on the window shelf, it is also a great addition to skincare products. The gel in the plant’s leaves is packed with antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals while polysaccharides promote wound healing. While the plant proves to be particularly beneficial for dry skin or skin that is prone to eczema and psoriasis, it has other advantages, too: it provides deep moisture, has a cooling effect and soothes skin unlike any other ingredient. Our tip: use it as a part of the after-sun routine in the summer!
