Aloe Vera Is a Hidden Treasure! Here Are 7 Smart Ways to Use It

Pimple treatment

Dr. Mack explains that aloe vera may also be an effective treatment for acne. However, note that it only shows beneficial effects for superficial surface acne rather than its chronic alternatives (cystic or deeper acne).

Therefore, if you’re struggling with whiteheads, you can just dab the gooey substance in aloe vera to reduce the temporary inflammation.

 

Makeup remover

Recently, oil-based makeup removers have gained popularity due to the fact that they leave the skin hydrated. However, this type of products can irritate sensitive areas of the face such as the skin around the eyes.

Since aloe vera is natural and very nutrient-rich, it can be a gentle way of removing makeup after a long day while keeping your skin look fresh.

 

Bug bite relief

According to Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, New York City-based dermatologist, aloe vera can relieve unpleasant reactions caused by common bug bites (think mosquitos). The content of this plant calms inflamed areas.
