Multi-Tasking with Aloe Vera

Published on:

Packed with nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, Aloe Vera is a known natural humectant which retains moisture in the skin while instantly hydrating it. This multi-tasking miracle plant is beneficial for the skin, hair and digestive system. In Ayurveda, pure Aloe Vera gel which is extracted from the most precious and safe variety of Aloe Vera plant – the Aloe Barbadensis, has been used to treat sun burns and soothe inflamed or wounded skin; as not only does the gel of the plant hydrate and cool the skin but it also nourishes and effectively heals the affected areas. 

Read on to find out the various benefits and uses of the hardworking yet humble Aloe Vera!

Aloe Vera Gel For The Skin

Forest Essentials’ authentic Ayurvedic skincare products are prepared with organic Aloe Vera gel and juice procured from the Aloe Barbadensis, freshly harvested in our own organic farms. Known for its incredibly astringent and soothing properties, the purest Aloe Vera gel is extracted by hand from the innermost part of the Aloe leaf. This is then used in the Forest Essentials Light Hydrating Pure Aloe Vera Gel, an exceptionally cooling and hydrating facial gel which seals the moisture into the skin, whilst leaving a vital glow to the skin. This lightweight facial gel can be applied on its own or as a pre-moisturizer, as a part of your daily skincare regime, by all skin types, and is especially recommended for oily skin as the gel lends a matte finish to the skin while providing that much needed nourishment and protection. 

Essential Tip: During the summer, Aloe Vera Gel is best applied chilled for a lasting cooling effect with an instant boost of hydration. For those with pigmentation and dry skin, add a few drops of the Soundarya Advanced Serum to the Light Hydrating Pure Aloe Vera Gel for optimal results.

Aloe Vera Juice For The Skin

Aloe Vera juice is often orally consumed to help boost immunity and hydrate the body from within. As a cooling drink, Aloe Vera juice soothes digestive inflammation and clears out the toxins from the body, leading to a healthy digestive system, and ultimately clearer and brighter skin. Just as the intake of Aloe Vera juice clears the skin, topical application of this potent hydrating juice helps in relieving skin ailments. Forest Essentials’ Aloe Vera Juice is an effective toner which helps relieve dryness, acne, and to smoothen the skin’s texture. Enriched with regenerating nutrients, this Aloevera Juice can be used as a mixture to prepare the Multani Mitti Ubtan (or any other Ubtan of your choice) to prepare a clay textured paste, which when applied to the skin, helps balance the excessive oiliness, soothe redness, and lighten blemishes; thereby leading to clearer skin.
