A Beginner’s Guide to Using Aloe Vera for Skin Care

We are sure someone you know keeps an Aloe Vera plant growing in their home to soothe an inevitable burn on a hot stove or to to help moisturize and replenish there skin after time out in the sun. While aloe straight from the plant has incredible soothing properties, the gel alone does not provide the most pleasant feeling when put directly on the skin. After application there is a wonderful cooling sensation, but it can leave your skin feeling slightly tight and sticky.

Aloe Vera Skin Care Routine

Now that you know WHY to use aloe in your skincare routine let us explain how you should include it in your regimen.

ALODERMA Cleansers

Step One: Cleanse Your Skin

Always start with clean skin to remove any oils or environmental debris that may accumulated. If you tend to have larger pores, take your time and make sure you thoroughly cleanse.

Try: Any of our facial cleansers! Your skin should not feel depleted after a cleanse. It should feel reinvigorated and nourished! Due to the enzymes naturally found in aloe, it is a gentle astringent and exfoliant – perfect for cleansing your skin.

ALODERMA Toners

Step Two: Apply Toner 

Use a cotton pad and swipe it gently across your entire face, neck, and chest. Toners help to shrink pores and restore your skin’s pH balance. Allow your toner to dry before moving on to Step Three. As an alternative, we would also suggest using our Fresh Aloe Juice Skin Hydrator.

ALODERMA Serum

Step Three: Add Serum/Essence

Ditch the cotton pad and gently apply serum to your face, neck, and chest. Serums have more concentrated ingredients aimed at whatever your skin concern may be. Have extra? Apply to the backs of your hands. Much like a serum, facial essences add concentrated ingredients but also help to prime and moisturize the skin.

For anti-aging and to even skin tones, try: Aloe Firming & Rejuvenating Serum or the Aloe Brightening Serum

For everyday use, try: Aloe Vitality Hydrating Essence

For sensitive skin, try: Aloe Soothing & Repairing Essence

ALODERMA Cream

Step Four: Moisturize

The cornerstone of every skin ritual, lotions revitalize dry and dull skin and restore its youthful appearance. Working against gravity’s force, always use upward, gentle strokes when applying your moisturizer.

Try: Enriched with jojoba seed oil and shea butter, Aloe Nourishing & Rejuvenating Lotion firms and smooths the skin.

CHECKOUT: ALODERMA Moisturizers

For dry skin and help during the driest months of the year, we strongly suggest you also add a Cream to your ritual.  ALODERMA creams offer deep moisturizing without feeling overly heavy on the skin.

ALODERMA Eye Cream

Step five: Take Care of your Eyes

The final step, unless adding sunscreen, is applying your eye cream. Using your ring finger, your weakest finger, dot the cream around your orbital bone from the inside to the outside.

Try: Aloe Brightening Eye Cream is formulated to treat sensitive, thin under eye skin to reduce puffiness and the appearance of dark circles and discoloration.

 

On the go? Do not forget about your hands?

Do your hands get dry and chapped, but hate how heave and greasy hand creams can be? Need something for your car, your bag, or just to have around the house?  Aloe Nourishing Hand Cream is a must to have on hand. It just does not get any better.
