Using Aloe Vera is considered very good for skin care. It not only hydrates the skin but also gives a soothing feeling to your skin. It has anti-ageing properties and hence Aloe Vera makes your skin more youthful and smooth.
It lightens your skin from blemishes. Most people plant aloe vera plant at home and apply it on their skin in the form of a gel.
However, apart from this, aloe vera juice also benefits the skin equally. While some people recommend applying aloe vera gel on the skin, others consider its juice to be more effective. So, today in this article we are telling you about the difference between Aloe vera gel and Aloe vera juice-
Benefits of Aloe Vera gel
Applying aloe vera gel on the skin is very beneficial in many ways. Aloe vera is a natural humectant that locks in moisture and deeply hydrates the skin. Aloe vera gel of many brands is available in the market.
However, if you wish, you can also plant an aloe vera plant at home. You break its leaf and take out its gel. Generally, aloe vera gel is considered good for skin and hair application.
It should not be consumed to get its beauty benefits. You can add one teaspoon of aloe vera gel to your regular face pack. Also, apply a layer of aloe vera gel on your clean skin before going to bed at night. Leave it like this overnight. The next morning you clean your face. If you want to apply it to your hair, then add aloe vera gel to your hair oil and mix it.
The advantages of Aloe Vera juice
Aloe vera juice is used in cosmetics. Aloe vera juice can help hydrate, exfoliate, nourish and regenerate skin and hair. It moisturizes your skin or hair.
Nowadays, aloe vera juice is used in many types of beauty creams, lotions, makeup, soaps, sunscreens, shaving creams and even shampoos. It also acts as a very effective makeup remover.
You can apply to your skin by mixing one teaspoon of vegetable glycerin, half a teaspoon of argan carrier oil and 7-8 drops of watermelon seed carrier oil in 4 tablespoons of aloe vera juice. It works as an excellent serum. Apart from this, you can also consume aloe vera juice to benefit your skin.
Which one to use
Now the question arises that which one should be used. Both aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice are made from aloe vera leaves where the gel can be applied directly after breaking the leaf.
But when the gel is blended with water, it becomes juice. If you want to use aloe vera only on your skin, then it is better to use the gel. On the other hand, if you want to get both skin and health benefits from aloe vera, then make it a rule to drink aloe vera juice.
