Why Aloe Vera Is So Good For Skin

If you have been following Nakin for a while, then you will know that we love plants found in nature which have tonnes of benefits for our skin. That is why we make amazing natural skincare using the best plant actives, with many anti-ageing benefits for skin. Our anti-ageing face collection contains many special plant ingredients like seaweed, marigold, hibiscus, pomegranate and green tea. But we also use some more common plant ingredients, that have magical properties to beautify skin. One of these is aloe vera, which is one of the greatest natural medicines around.

Aloe vera is a common plant nowadays, and many of us even have one in our home. We probably know about it being great for sunburn, which shows just how powerful its healing abilities are for skin. Applying aloe vera to our skin is exceptionally good for it and can help with all sorts of conditions, as well as enhancing every skin type. Let us take a look at the nutrients and medicinal properties of aloe vera, to see why it is so good for skin. Aloe vera is celebrated for its remarkable healing properties, especially when it comes to skin care. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it provides a deeply hydrating experience that can soothe and repair the skin. Its anti-inflammatory qualities make it superb for treating sunburn, acne, and dry skin, stimulating the growth of new cells and fostering the skin's natural healing process. This versatile plant also contains polysaccharides that help to retain moisture, making it an essential ingredient for maintaining healthy, vibrant skin.

Aloe vera naturally contains many nutrients. The National Centre for Biotechnology Information published a review of aloe vera from the Indian Journal of Dermatology. They reported that the nutrients in aloe vera include a huge amount of naturally found active components, including the below.

• Vitamins A, C and E, which are amazing antioxidants for skin, as well as vitamin B12, folic acid and choline.
• Enzymes that help to reduce excessive inflammation when applied to the skin topically.
• The minerals calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc.
• Naturally occurring antibacterial phenolic compounds.
• Fatty acids which are calming and anti-inflammatory to skin.
• Salicylic acid which occurs naturally in aloe vera and is cleansing, plus helps with skin pigmentation issues.

This huge amount of nutrients is good for skin in many ways, and aloe vera benefits skin with the below list of enhancing properties.

• Aloe vera has a positive effect on your whole body with a nutrient boost and by improving digestion. This type of cleansing and conditioning also means that skin will look its best, as it always does when the body functions well.
