I love grabbing fresh aloe vera leaves from the store each month for their amazing skin benefits. The clear gel inside, harvested by slicing open the thick, green leaves, is packed with vitamins A, C and E, plus enzymes that moisturize, soothe and help heal skin. It is great for sunburns or dry patches. I buy organic leaves at local markets, yielding enough gel for weeks. Just cut, scoop the gel and apply directly or blend into a DIY mask and it’s ready in minutes. The natural, additive free gel is a wholesome swap for chemical laden creams, leaving my skin soft and refreshed. Storing the leaves in the fridge keeps them fresh for up to a month. This simple, plant based routine is a nourishing way to care for my skin.
