One of the products you want to remember to have in your bag this summer is Aloe Gel. In addition to its healing properties, Aloe Gel is a great all-round moisturiser.  It’s a multi-purpose solution that’s been used since Ancient Egyptian times and worldwide by people from all walks of life.

With many options available in the market, choosing the best Aloe Gel could be tricky. Especially if you want one product that covers all your bases. The first step to choosing an all-around effective Aloe Gel, is to ensure that it has Aloe Ferox in it.

Aloe Vera vs Aloe Ferox

Aloe Ferox contains 20 times more Aloin in its bitter aloe sap than Aloe Vera does. Aloin is concentrated primarily in the bitter sap that is extracted for Aloe based products. It is what helps to make Aloe gel so uniquely effective. Additionally, when compared to Aloe Vera, Aloe Ferox contains twice the number of amino acids. The result is that Aloe Ferox stimulates cellular regeneration and repair more effectively as well as faster than Aloe Vera does. Practically this results in quicker healing of skin tissue.

What can Aloe Gel be used for?

Aloe Gel forms a seal within skin layers. This makes it a very good moisturiser, as it both hydrates skin and helps to prevent moisture loss. Aloe Gel has inherent healing properties. Aloe Unique’s Aloe Gel does not contain harmful parabens and is not alcohol-based. It therefore can be used as an intervention on all skin types, including very sensitive ones, as well as on your face. Which makes it ideal to soothe sunburns as well as help to rebuild your skin tissue after sun damage. Thereby, also helping to decrease the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and blemishes.

Aloe Gel reduces inflammation and skin irritation such as psoriasis and eczema. It can be used to soothe insect bites as well as minor scratches, cuts and household-related burns. This is due to it stimulating lymphocytes and containing enzymes that help boost the growth of new skin cells.

If you need something to combat pimples, then apply Aloe Gel to them. Aloe gel will assist in speeding up the healing process and can help prevent acne scarring. Additionally, it can be used to soothe and clear up cold sores. Finally, it can also be used on your scalp and in your hair. By penetrating hair follicles, Aloe gel could improve dry and damaged hair.

Using Aloe Gel in a Face Mask

Aloe Unique Bitter Gel with Aloe Ferox, can be used to make Aloe-based face masks. After mixing up the mask, wash your face and apply. Once the mask has dried, your facial skin will feel tight. This takes between 5-10 minutes. Using warm water rinse, off the mask and pat your face dry. Then use your moisturiser as per your usual skincare routine.

Aloe Unique Cares for Your Skin

In addition to having Aloe Gels, Aloe Unique has a number of Aloe Ferox enriched skincare products for you to delve into. Protect your skin this summer with SPF 50 sun lotion.  Wash away daily grim with cleanser, a natural walnut facial scrub or an Aloe and Honey Gel Mask. You can further enrich your skincare routine by using Aloe Gel, after cleansing and before applying routine moisturisers.
