It is one of the most beneficial ingredient, which we usually notice in most of the beauty products or in Beauty DIYs. It is handy too, as we can grow this species right in our garden. In recent decades, people are highly observant in extracting maximum benefits out of it.


Aloe vera is a source of natural treatment for various skin ailments like sun burn, cuts, dry skin, inflammatory acne and a lot more. Despite oil, dry or sensitive, aloe gel works its magic on every skin type, resulting a flawless skin. It also provides plethora of benefits for hair woes. Let me share some 12 methods to make best use of aloe gel to set right skin and hair fuss.

12 DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE ALOE VERA GEL FOR BEAUTIFUL SKIN & HAIR:


1. SOOTHES DRY SKIN (MOISTURIZER):


Aloe gel has deep hydrating and healing properties which soothes dry patches, redness and irritation. Use aloe gel directly onto the skin. Don't fret that it is greasy on skin, it sinks into skin easily. You can apply aloe gel after cleansing the face, which gives you an instant burst of hydration and keeps the skin moist.


2. MAKEUP BASE:


Aloe vera gel acts a perfect make up primer. I have used processed aloe vera gel as primer during my initial days of makeup and it acts as an ideal base. Apply aloe vera gel onto your skin and start your makeup after the aloe gel dries. This acts a layer between your skin and the makeup. It protects the skin from makeup and does not disturb the makeup even on a long wear makeup day.


3. BEST HEAT PROTECTANT:

Aloe gel can be used as an alternate for heat protectant spray. Chemical-free raw aloe gel protects the hair against heat damage. Take generous amount of aloe gel and apply it on the lengths of the hair before straightening or curling your hair or before using any hair styling tools which produces heat.


You don't have to worry even if it spreads on your scalp. Aloe gel is completely natural, so it may even help to hit dandruff from your scalp.


4. EYEBROW GEL:



Aloe gel helps to promote hair growth and thereby one can apply it to tame one's eyebrows. Dip a q-tip in aloe vera gel and smooth over the eyebrows. This helps you to hold eyebrow hairs in place without being too greasy. Mix aloe gel with castor oil and apply it on your eyebrows daily, to make them lush.


5. SMOOTHENING SPRAY:


Take a small spray bottle. Fill half bottle with water and rest with aloevera gel. Shake it well and your smoothening spray is ready to use. You can use this spray whenever you feel that your hair is dry and lifeless. Believe me ! you will find an instant difference in your hair. Your hair smiles at you, thanking you for being frizz-free, soft, smooth and shiny.


6. TREATS ACNE SCARS & BLEMISHES:

Acne scars and blemishes are most common concerns which stubbornly denies to move out from skin. You can try this simple DIY before going for any skin treatments. Mix aloe gel with lemon juice to apply it on affected areas. Repeated use of this concoction helps you to lighten blemishes and acne scars. This also aids stretch marks.


Due to its healing, soothing and cooling properties, aloe gel is often used to treat mild sunburns too.


7. KICKS OUT DANDRUFF:

Aloe gel is packed with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties also with high moisture content. This cures dandruff in hair, aids dry scalp by making it more moist and also leaves smooth and shiny hair.


You can mix honey and yogurt with aloe gel, which is an ideal hair mask to get rid of dandruff, to curb hair fall and to make hair shinier. Allow the mask to sit on your hair for 20 to 25 minutes and rinse it off with mild shampoo like you normally do. Your hair becomes happier than ever !!!


8. SHAVING GEL:

Aloe gel can be used as an substitute for shaving creams or gels. It is gentle on the skin and gives you a smooth shave while moisturizing the skin. It has antiseptic properties which is great for nicks and cuts while shaving.


You can also use aloe gel as an after-shave gel for its deep-moisturizing properties on the skin, not letting it become too sensitive and also prevents irritation, redness & soothes after-shave skin bumps.


9. REPAIRS CRACKED HEELS:

Cracked heels woes?  Applying aloe vera gel on cracked heels is a simple remedy. Take a good quantity of aloe vera gel and spread it all over your feet. Wear socks to cover the feet and leave it overnight. This greatly works to repair the dry and cracked pits. Due to its healing and moisturizing properties, it soothes the rough feet, keeps it moist, thus leaving it crack-free.



You can also add aloe gel to your night cream for a soft and moist feet. This works best during winter times!


10. LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER:


Take a generous amount of aloevera gel and spread it in both hands. Apply this natural conditioner in damp hair, not in dripping wet hair. It will reduce frizz and adds shine to your hair, making it look shinier and healthier, after it dries.


11. SKIN EXFOLIATOR:


Aloe vera is a cleansing agent enriched with antibacterial properties that flush out impurities gently.  If you run out of your regular scrub, you can try aloe vera gel mixed with sugar granules for exfoliating the skin. It helps you to get rid of dead skin cells and clear pores of grime.


12. ANTI-AGING PROTECTOR:


Massage aloe vera gel all over your face, neck and hands. Let dry and leave it overnight. This boosts collagen production, leading to powerful anti-aging and other skin-care benefits. It plays a dual role, both as a moisturizer and a deep-hydrating night cream.

Bonus tip: You can also add aloe in your regular DIY face masks you usually do, for a moist skin.

I hope this blog would have given you some info on utilities of a plant in your backyard. You can either use raw aloe gel after removing its thick green skin or if you are someone who possess sensitive skin like me, you can better use a processed gel.
