Large pores and a shiny, greasy appearance are indicators of oily skin. If you have oily skin, you might think that moisturizer is not for you, but this is a common misconception. Regardless of how oily or acne-prone our skin is, it still requires moisture and hydration.
Gel moisturizers are perfect for oily skin. They work even better when combined with aloe vera gel and essential oils. Let’s explore the benefits and learn how to create this DIY aloe vera moisturizer for oily skin.
Benefits Of Aloe Vera Face Moisturizer
Aloe vera gel is packed with various vitamins and minerals necessary for the proper health of the skin. In particular, the antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and other nutrients in aloe vera aid to nourish the skin.
Its anti-inflammatory properties aid in the healing of acne scars, if any, on your oily skin. In addition, the natural astringent properties of aloe vera absorb excess oil and other impurities built upon the oily skin.
Argan oil boosts healthy skin cell metabolism and helps your skin retain more moisture. It controls the production of sebum, which causes acne. Acne scars can fade because the oil’s naturally occurring vitamin E includes antioxidants that aid in removing damaged cells and promoting new cell regeneration. Dark spots are lightened and wrinkles are removed.
Tea tree essential oil has anti-microbial properties which help to treat acne and control sebum production. It cleans clogged pores and exfoliates d-ea-d skin cells.
Also, rose essential oil balances the skin’s pH balance, which is very good at hydrating the skin. It lessens dark spots, scars, wrinkles, and acne.
