The ultimate plant for healing skin? ALOE VERA! This plant is nature’s bandaid. It’s the perfect healer for any type of skin. Cuts, burns, rashes, acne? Aloe got you! Straight from the leaf, this gel: ✔️ Soothes irritation ✔️ Fades acne scars ✔️ Heals sunburns + rashes ✔️ Boosts collagen ✔️ Hydrates deeply without clogging pores • Packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, E + enzymes • Natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial • Safe for all skin types…even sensitive! How to use: -Cut a fresh aloe leaf -Scoop out the inner gel (avoid the yellow sap) -Apply directly to clean skin as a mask or spot treatment -Leave on for 15–30 min, rinse, and glow✨ (I use it 2–3x/week or after sun exposure, breakouts, or facial treatments. Aloe is also perfect to use after clay & ACV mask) 🌿TIP: Store your aloe gel in the fridge for extra cooling anti-anti-puffy effect. ✨Disclaimer: This is what works for me and my body. Always listen to yours and consult a professional if needed.✨ #PlantQueendom #AloeForSkin #LatinaHealingRituals #GreenBeauty #BrujaSkincare #NaturalRemedies #McAllen #RGV #plantbased #AloeVera
