External Applications
Aloe Vera Remedy for Acne
Cut a piece of aloe Vera leaf from the plant and remove the outer thick skin to end up with only a thick piece of transparent gel. Then rinse the thick piece of gel under tap water to remove the yellow latex which is not good for irritated skin and may also cause inflammation in some people. Apply the piece of gel directly onto the affected skin area, avoiding the eye.
How It Works - Aloe Vera contains the ideal polysaccharides necessary for the skin to repair. It also acts as both a moisturizer and an anti-inflammatory agent. It will not cure acne but it can heal the damage caused by acne and can help to reduce redness and swelling.
