Aloe vera is a wonder herb made available to us by Mother Nature. It has many minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

It also has astringent properties, which help in tightening up the skin. And this is also its drawback.

Aloe vera gel gets very quickly absorbed by the skin due to which it doesn’t leave behind much of a hydrating or moisturizing effect, which makes it feel quite unpleasant over dry skin, although, over oily skin, this particular quality helps in drying up acne more quickly.

And this makes aloe vera quite unsuitable to be used alone as a body or facial cream. You have to mix it with other ingredients (natural and organic would be best) for usage as a facial cream.

I have been using Indus Valley Organic Aloe Vera Gel for reducing my acne scars and for adding brightness and glow to my skin. And I recommend that you should too.
