Aloe Benefits
The aloe vera plant is composed of anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and moisturizing properties that will leave your skin feeling soft and glowing. Aloe does a great job soothing the skin and irritation, reducing redness in the process. On top of all that, aloe gel contains vitamins A and C which help treat burns, acne, and dry skin. As if all that wasn’t enough, aloe can also help heal wounds and minimize scarring! So, what can you do with this amazing ingredient? We’ve found a fantastic face mask that will soothe your skin and leave you glowing!
What You’ll Need:
- 1/2 tablespoon almond milk
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons aloe vera juice or gel
How To:
Mix the almond milk with the brown sugar until the sugar dissolves. Add about 4 tablespoons of the aloe and mix it all together until it’s blended well. Apply the mixture to your face and let it sit for 15-30 minutes. After that, remove the mask with warm water and a soft towel.
