ACNE is one of the most common skin conditions in teenagers and young adults. Dealing with acne is infuriating as it may result in emotional distress and low self-confidence. Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition and they often times occur when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples which may appear on the face, forehead, neck, chest, and shoulder. Research has shown that acne is triggered by stress, hormonal changes, diet, bad hygiene, lifestyle, and certain medication. Hence, we have come up with ways to make a homemade aloe vera mask that will leave your skin smooth and acne-free.
Aloe vera is a powerful plant composed of anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and moisturizing properties that help rejuvenate the skin, leaving it feeling soft and radiant. Using aloe vera in a face mask can calm irritated skin and give it a glow.
