Aloe Moisturizing Lotion

Product Information

While clinical evidence supporting its use for hair is very limited, aloe vera is often used to help ease symptoms of scalp conditions such as dandruff," says cosmetic dermatologist, Dr Surbhi Virmani. Aloe vera tends to have a calming effect on the skin, especially its water-dense leaves, which allow it to thrive in dry and unstable climates. "When the gel from within the plant’s leaves is applied, it has a cooling sensation that provides instant relief," says Dr Philips. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF), aloe vera is safe to use for soothing mild sunburns. As much as we love tanning, it comes at our skin's expense.

Here, we uncover the truth about aloe vera’s benefits, what it can really do for your skin and how you should use it for the best results.

When you have dry, rough or irritated skin, you need moisturisation that will help it heal fast. Our skin is the barrier between our bodies and the outside world, and the health of our skin is essential to our overall wellbeing. At Vaseline, we believe that healthy skin starts with deep-restoring moisture, which is why our lotion's formula calms and soothes the skin. The SPF you should use will vary on your skin tone and may even change depending on the season. In the winter our skin can be chapped and dry, so you may decide to go for a deeper moisturiser with SPF in it. Also if you are pale then it's best not to go below factor 30 if you want to avoid getting sunburn.So, if you're staying in the sun for a prolonged period of time it's better to apply sunscreen with high SPF. What SPF should I use on my face? For so many of us, aloe vera was one of the first “skincare” products we used. It might have been to soothe a cut, a burn, or overexposure to the sun, but even now with years and products under our belt, it’s still something we call on regularly. It doesn't leave a white cast like some suncreams can, and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive and oily.

This aloe vera lotion is also reef-friendly, so you won't have to worry about it damaging marine life or coral reefs.
