Using the mixture for 2-5 days can reduce acne lesions by 50%. The antibacterial activity of aloe vera gel also helps treat chronic and highly inflammatory cases.
Skin-lightening Agent
The aloe plant contains aloesin, a compound that affects skin tone. aloesin can interfere with the production of melanin. It prevents the production of melanin to lighten the skin tone . Ultraviolet rays can also induce dark spots and pigmentation. The topical application of aloesin-rich preparations may cause a significant decrease in spot intensity.

Volunteers who applied the oil to bare skin reported fewer mosquito bites compared to their peers. Their skin is smoother than before
Hair Growth Booster
Aloe vera is a popular home remedy for hair loss and repair. Its pulp, leaves and oil are commonly used for dry scalp, damaged hair tips and dyed hair. You can boil the leaves and apply the cooled liquid to your hair. Massage aloe gel/extract containing oils (olive oil, coconut oil, wheat germ, sesame, avocado, almond, fish and castor) onto the scalp will also have a good effect
Hydrating And Anti-aging Solution
Dry skin will make wrinkles and fine lines more visible. Lack of moisture in the skin layer can cause skin peeling and shrink pores. This can worsen skin sensitivity and may even lead to psoriasis. Aloe contains mucopolysaccharides, which can trap/bind moisture in the skin. Using aloe gel cream/lotion/oil can improve the integrity of sensitive and dry skin.
Stretch-mark Healer
Stretch marks or striae are long scars with underlying thinning of the skin. Pregnancy, rapid weight change, weightlifting, and continuous stretching of the skin commonly cause them. Striae can cause psychological and sexual problems
