According to Medical News Today (UK), aloe vera gel (also known as aloe vera) contains natural salicylic acid and sulfur, two ingredients commonly used in acne treatment products. They help clean pores, reduce inflammation and prevent acne-causing bacteria from growing.
A study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment (USA) also showed that applying pure aloe vera gel to acne twice a day for 4 weeks can help reduce inflammatory acne by up to 35% compared to the group that only uses regular cleanser.
To treat acne at home, you can do it in a simple way:
Wash the aloe vera leaves, peel off the green peel.
Take the gel through, puree.
Apply evenly to the face after rinsing, leave for 15-20 minutes and then rinse with cool water.
Applied 3-4 times a week, the skin will be calmer, reduce inflammation and have less noticeable acne.
In addition, dermatologists recommend testing on a small area of skin before applying it to the entire face to avoid irritation, especially for people with sensitive skin.
According to Healthline, combining aloe vera with a healthy diet, limiting fried foods, lots of green vegetables and drinking enough water every day will help the skin recover quickly and stay healthy from within.
