The SkinBase Aloe Vera Gel is excellent for soothing skin after IPL Hair reduction treatment… but that is not the only thing it is good for.
Hair Care
Aloe Vera can treat an itchy and flaking scalp. It soothes and relieves scalp inflammation and dandruff. It contains proteolytic enzymes which help repair dead skin on the scalp. This strengthens and repairs hair strands and helps with cell turnover and growth – leaving you with shiny hair.
Sunburn
It is an effective treatment for sunburn. It boosts the healing of wounds thanks to its natural anti-inflammatory and soothing effect. Aloe Vera can also penetrate the epidermis (the outer layer of skin) faster than water. It also help to speed up skin cell reproduction as much as eight times.
Acne
If you suffer from acne, Aloe Vera can give some respite. Its antimicrobial properties treat and soothe pimples without causing any damage. A natural antiseptic it also gives protection against bacteria and is a natural source of salicylic acid. Another great effect – it reduces inflammation and redness while reducing pore size, flushing out excess oil and dirt.
Moisturiser
When you crack open an aloe leaf the gel-like liquid is inside. Made of mostly water it also contains Vitamin E and skin-brightening Vitamin C – which both boost collagen production. These antioxidants protect the skin’s barrier leaving a softer and smoother complexion. It is also excellent value!
