5 Aloe Vera Beauty Hacks For Every Skincare Regimen

The answer to all your skin nightmares is nature's best kept secret: Aloe Vera. This affordable item can do everything from curing acne to your dark circles.

Here are 5 game-changing aloe vera skin secrets that you never knew you needed:

1. Get rid of that acne

PC

While severe acne needs specialized attention, the small little bumps on your forehead that refuse to leave may react differently if you rub a little aloe on your face before you go to bed. This has worked wonders for me personally, but it is important to be wary of the type of skin you have.

2. Cure skin which you didn't even know was dry skin

PC

Did you know that keratosis psoriasis is an extremely common skin condition that causes little bumps most commonly found on your arms/shoulder region as well as your chest and upper back?

Stop using acne products on those areas! While it may not seem like it, these bumps are often derived from dry skin – yes, even if your skin type is oily.

Aloe vera can work wonders on these areas; just rub the gel over the affected area (after spot testing, of course).

3. Fake 8 hours of sleep

PC

This one I had never heard of before my trip to South India where I learned of Asian uses of the plant. Just the smallest amount of pure aloe vera gel can brighten your under eye bags.

Yes, those stubborn dark circles that won't leave no matter how many hours you sleep? Pat a bit of gel under your eyes before bed and voila!

4. Even out your skin

PC

Do you struggle with dark spots? Discoloration? Uneven skin texture? Don't waste your money on those expensive creams and serums; aloe vera has both natural brightening and hydrating properties that will reduce the appearance of dark spots and even out your skin for an illuminated complexion.

5. Say goodbye to acne scars

PC

Acne scars can take way too many fancy ointments to heal, but aloe can replace all of them. In fact, several of these products contain aloe vera gel. Unlike several oils or concentrated essences that are also mixed into those products, aloe can be used alone. Its moisturizing properties not only hydrate the skin while healing it, they also mitigate any inflammation or irritation (hence the popular use of aloe for sunburns).

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
