Aloe Vera Body Lotion
As the weather gets colder, many of us experience drier skin. Living in a humid climate is no longer a problem for me. However, sometimes my skin needs some light hydration. I love lotion bars and this homemade lotion for intense nourishment, this aloe lotion is great when you want something lighter.
Aloe has a similar feel to glycerin in skin care recipes, but it doesn’t feel as sticky. It absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. If you are using Fresh aloe vera From the herbs, this lotion only lasts a week or two before it goes bad.

Aloe Vera skin benefits
I love them so much I have an aloe plant in my house! They are good not only for treating wounds but also for other skin irritations. You’ve probably used aloe vera gel to soothe a sunburn at some point.
Aloe barbadensis leaf juice is rich in nutrients like potassium, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and antioxidants. It also helps our skin to produce hyaluronic acid and collagen to prevent wrinkles. Aloe helps the skin to be more elastic and elastic so that it “springs back.”
Options for ingredients
This lotion can be used as a face cream. It can work well Those with acne Or eczema, depending on the exact ingredient you use. Oils like olive and avocado oil are great for dry or more mature skin types. If you are prone to acne or want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, adding some rosehip seed oil is a good choice. I prefer sweet almond (non-greasy) or jojoba, which act as a moisturizer and sink deep into the skin.
I use shea butter for an extra rich feel, but it’s optional. You can use cocoa butter or mango butter instead. Cocoa butter is a more powerful moisturizer, while mango butter is lighter and absorbs faster.
