How does Aloe Vera work?
Aloe vera, when applied in its gel form, moisturises the skin by increasing water content in the outer layer. This action raises the protective capabilities of the skin. The bioactive compounds in aloe vera help in recovery of damage caused by inflammation, burns or wounds. Aloe vera also aids in collagen production, reducing skin wrinkling.
