Kourtney is definitely on to something! The gel from aloe vera plants is packed with dozens of skin-healthy vitamins and minerals that will help transform your complexion. The eldest Kardashian took the liberty of listing some of the tropical plant’s best-known accolades including curing common skin conditions like dry skin, burns (including sunburn) and irritation like eczema. “It’s rich in vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene, which nourish, repair and cool the skin without leaving a greasy residue,” she explains.
As for its anti-aging effects, having moisturized skin is one of the best ways to keep wrinkles at bay. After all, they become more prominent and noticeable when your skin is dry. Aloe’s vitamin C properties also help defend the skin against UV rays and prevent photoaging and the other damaging effects free radicals and environmental stressors can cause.
