Here are 7 DIY aloe vera face masks to start adding to your beauty routine if you want a natural glow! Aloe vera is one of the best natural remedies that is widely used around the world to treat mild skin problems due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Using aloe vera regularly can help you get rid of skin conditions such as oily skin, acne, eczema, open pores, dry skin, and hyperpigmentation. Aloe vera also contains antioxidants, and vitamins A & C, along with enzymes that keep the skin healthy and provide a natural glow. 

Note: Even though I highly recommend using aloe vera in your skincare routine, it can cause allergic reactions in people with hypersensitivity. This is why I highly recommend doing a skin patch test before using it. To do one, apply a little bit of aloe vera behind your ear and if there are signs of redness, swelling, or rashes, do not use it.
