Magical Anti-Aging Benefits Of Aloe Vera

by Aevum Lifestyle Skin Care Products

Aloe vera is referred to as the ‘lily of the desert’ by ancient people because of its medicinal benefits. It indeed has invaluable medicinal and cosmetic properties that go beyond the usual moisturizing effect. In fact, it possesses anti-aging properties that can effectively reverse aging and give you a beautiful looking skin that is spotless and wrinkle-free. A substance obtained from aloe vera leaves is used to prepare anti-aging gel and is also used as a part of several cosmetic products. Throughout centuries, this plant has been used to cure skin problems and as an antiseptic, insect-repellant, and for several other purposes. 


Aloe vera has magical healing properties that have been harnessed by several cultures in the past and even today it finds several applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food, and beverage industries. It is an important ingredient used in the manufacture of lotions, creams, moisturizers, and several other beauty products. It is a fairly common plant that is easy to recognize with its succulent leaves that ooze out a watery gel from them. These leaves store water along with several essential nutrients like vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals which are highly beneficial for the skin.


Unique properties of aloe vera:


Aloe vera offers a bunch of amazing characteristics that are useful to the skin in different ways. It reverses aging and keeps the skin hydrated and supple. There are over a hundred beneficial enzymes, proteins, vitamins, and minerals in this plant that provide smooth and blemish-free skin and also stop any breakouts. These nutrients perform such an amazing job because they work in combination with each other in providing holistic and healthy skin. 


A powerful & rich antioxidant


Aloe vera is a powerful and rich antioxidant. Antioxidants prevent the formation of harmful skin-damaging free radicals. Aloe neutralizes them and inhibits their formation. This characteristic helps in the improvement of skin cell repair and growth. Lesser free radicals result in fewer wrinkles and reduction of skin problems. The antioxidant nature of aloe vera makes it suitable for reducing signs of aging like age-lines, dryness, wrinkles, etc. It helps further by speeding up the generation of skin cells which heals the skin internally. 


A storehouse of skin-friendly vitamins: 

Aloe vera has no shortage of nutrients that your skin loves. Vitamins like B1, B2, B6 & B12 slow down premature aging and also bolster immunity. These essential vitamins stop toxins from damaging the skin and replenish the damaged cells. This practically reverses the aging process as wrinkles and fine age-lines stop appearing. Vitamins A, C & E restore skin’s health by rejuvenating the cells and keeping the skin hydrated. Vitamins keep the signs of photo-aging at bay and supply the essentials needed by the skin cells to keep restoring themselves or replenishing them from the damage. 


Full of minerals and micronutrients: 

Aloe vera also contains minerals like manganese, magnesium, and zinc which boost the production of collagen, an important skin protein. Magnesium lowers stress levels and lowers the production of cortisol (stress-causing hormone). Manganese detoxes the body and keeps the skin clean and free of toxic substances. Selenium, an important mineral slows down the aging process of the cells and zinc strengthens the immune system which in turn helps in collagen production. Extra collagen imparts elasticity to the skin and keeps it moisturized which keeps the skin taut and doesn’t let it sag or hang loose. 


Skin benefits of aloe vera: 


As discussed, the skin benefits of aloe vera are several. Here is a quick list of the benefits for your reference: 


  1. It fights and prevents the formation of harmful free radicals.

  2. Helps in boosting the production of collagen (an important skin protein). 

  3. Improves elasticity and hydrates skin internally. 

  4. Helps prevent hypersensitive skin from harmful UV radiation. 

  5. Stimulates cell rejuvenation and allows skin cells to multiply faster.

  6. Provides moisturizing and anti-aging benefits. 

  7. Removes various signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, etc. 

  8. Acts as an antiseptic, fights off bacteria, viral and fungal infections.


Anti-aging properties of aloe vera: 


Aloe vera boosts the production of collagen in the skin and keeps the skin taut and elastic thus keeping away wrinkles and any age-lines. Collagen replaces dead skin cells and reverses the aging-effect that comes on as we age. Aloe vera has been used for centuries as a powerful skin medicine and now there is scientific research and evidence to back this theory. Extra collagen maintains skin health and improves hydration and elasticity that keeps off wrinkles, age-lines and prevents the skin from becoming loose and hanging. Aloe vera has a long history of medicinal and cosmetic usage and its beneficial properties provide wholesome skin health along with other significant health benefits. For this reason, it is a major component of anti-wrinkle gel. It is indeed a miracle plant and continues to provide awesome health and anti-aging benefits.
