Benefits Of Aloe Vera Face Moisturizer
Aloe vera gel contains numerous vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper health of the skin. In particular, the antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and other nutrients in aloe vera aid to nourish the skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties aid in the healing of acne scars, if any, on your oily skin. Furthermore, the natural astringent properties of aloe vera absorb excess oil and other impurities built upon the oily skin.

Argan oil promotes healthy skin cell metabolism and helps your skin retain more moisture. It controls the production of sebum, which causes acne. Acne scars can fade because the oil’s naturally occurring vitamin E includes antioxidants that aid in removing damaged cells and promoting new cell regeneration. Dark spots are lightened and wrinkles are removed.
Tea tree essential oil has anti-microbial properties which treat acne and control sebum production. It cleans clogged pores and exfoliates dead skin cells.
Rose essential oil balances the skin’s pH balance, which is also very good at hydrating the skin. It lessens wrinkles, dark spots, scars, and acne.
