5. Reduce Dermatitis
When the inner gel is extracted from the aloe leaf, it can then be used as a topical care in order to treat a range of issues. This works for a number of reasons.
Firstly, aloe vera is demonstrably anti-inflammatory thanks to a number of active ingredients such as campesterol, lepeol and b-sitosterol (plant steroids).
Aloe vera is also moisturizing and antibacterial and when you apply it to the skin, it can be very useful at preventing infections and soothing reactions.
