At the nail depot we have several products containing Aloe Vera, which is an amazing ingredient giving a soothing, cooling, and healing effect when used in products. Here is a look at some of the uses and benefits of PURE Aloe Vera gel. All though our products only contain aloe as an ingredient they still hydrate and sooth effectively leaving your skin feeling refreshed and amazing!

1. Treats sunburns, cold sores, blisters, and insect bites. Aloe has powerful healing activity at the epithelial level.
2. Aloe is a great moisturizer and is non greasy making it great for everyone including those with an oily complexion. It can also be used as a primer before using a mineral based make up. Even men can use Aloe Vera gel as an aftershave treatment because it will heal and treat any small cuts due to shaving.
3. Treats acne, as Aloe Vera gel contains hormones that provide healing and anti inflammatory effects. They also stimulate growth of new cells, leaving minimal scarring due to acne.
4. Fights signs of ageing. Aloe contains a plethora of antioxidants such as beta carotene, vitamin c, and vitamin e, improving firmness while also hydrating.
5. Aloe Vera gel also reduces the visibility of stretch marks due to weight fluctuation, muscle growth, pregnancy etc.
