Aloe Vera Healing Moisturizer

Aloe Vera is a truly magical plant. It's gel is amazing for intestinal and gut health (I drank it a lot after messing my system up in Mexico a while back). It's also amazing for cuts, burns, sunburns, and bites. I also use use aloe vera as a main ingredient in my hand sanitizer. What you might not know though, is that aloe can be added to your moisturizer too!

I love a good moisturizer recipe, especially ones that aren't too greasy and help heal any facial scabs I have going from acne. That's why I started using aloe vera in my moisturizer too. It's antibacterial and has healing properties which help with the scabs and acne. It also dries up quickly which helps keep my face from feeling too greasy from whatever oils I put in the lotion as well. If you've been searching for the right moisturizer and just haven't found it yet, try this aloe vera body lotion and let me know what you think.
