Nothing beautifies a woman like a face mask. Especially if it is a mask with aloe, which refreshes, moisturizes, tones and gives radiance.
Aloe in cosmetics
The healing properties of aloe have been known since ancient times. This succulent is native to the African savannah. Gradually, it spread throughout Africa, and then reached the south of Europe. It was believed that aloe juice is capable of:
prolong life;
heal wounds;
treat burns;
improve the condition of the skin with ulcers.
Modern scientists have found that aloe has extraordinary biological activity and is able to solve many skin problems. The juice of fleshy leaves is a frequent component of not only medicinal preparations, but also a huge number of beauty products, including face masks.
Skin Benefits
Aloe contains over 200 beneficial components, including:
vitamins A, C, E and group B;
trace elements, including iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc;
amino acids and enzymes;
polysaccharides.
Face masks with aloe
Masks based on aloe juice and extract have practically no contraindications, this component is well tolerated even by people with hypersensitive and irritated skin.
The only caveat – do not apply pure aloe juice to skin with open wounds.
Exposure to skin
Aloe extract in the composition of cosmetics serves as a powerful hydro-fixer: when it gets on the skin, it works as a healing trap – it moisturizes and retains moisture on the surface of the epidermis. In addition, aloe extract:
has antioxidant activity;
contributes to the saturation of the skin with oxygen;
heals tissue damage;
protects the skin from aggressive factors and prevents the destruction of collagen and elastin fibers.
Caution – do not apply pure aloe juice to fresh open wounds.
Indications for use
Aloe masks are useful for those who have dry and irritated skin, as well as during the rehabilitation period after aggressive cosmetic procedures: laser resurfacing, peeling, plastic surgery.
In addition, it is an excellent means of quick response after sunburn – instantly relieves burning sensation and accelerates skin recovery.

How to choose a mask
The peculiarity of face masks with aloe is that they are absolutely comfortable for the skin. Some of them, such as gel ones, do not even require rinsing – just wait until the mask is absorbed, and then gently “drive” the remnants of the product into the skin with massage movements or remove the excess with a cotton pad.
Anti-aging mask with aloe promotes powerful skin hydration, and with regular use in combination with cream – the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity.
If aloe is part of the mask for problem skin, it gives the formula antibacterial, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.
In masks for blackheads and for deep cleansing, aloe works to moisturize the skin and at the same time prevents inflammation.
