The Benefits of Aloe Vera-Based Lotions

Aloe vera lotion has a ton of perks for your skin thanks to its natural goodness. It's famous for being moisturizing, calming, and healing, which is why it's a go-to ingredient in many skincare products, including Seventh Sojourn's lotions. 

More About the Skin Benefits of Aloe

• Hydrates - Aloe vera is an awesome humectant, which means it pulls moisture from the air into your skin and keeps it there, giving you hydration that lasts a long time. Combine any of our lotions with a Seventh Sojourn body balm for supreme hydration and moisturization. 
  
  
• Soothing - It has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe irritated or inflamed skin, which makes it beneficial for issues like eczema, psoriasis, and sunburns. Soothing Eucalyptus Lotion combines eucalyptus essential oil with our aloe base to make a super-soothing lotion. 
  
  
• Healing - Aloe vera has been shown to accelerate wound healing by promoting collagen production and cell regeneration. For this application, I look to Cleansing Tea Tree Lotion for a healing assist. 
  
  
• Anti-Aging - By boosting collagen production, aloe vera can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity. Look to Luxurious Lavender Lotion to provide some anti-aging magic with its combination of an aloe base and lavender essential oil.
  
  
• Acne Management - Aloe vera can help reduce inflammation and fight bacteria associated with acne breakouts, while also moisturizing without clogging pores. In many instances, acne is a delicate balance that can become irritated by anything scented. Therefore, I would avoid fragrance and essential oils for acne (or any other significant skin condition) and just focus on the aloe base. Our Unscented Lotion may not have an exciting scented quality, but is so gentle we even use it for tattoo aftercare. 
  
  
• Antioxidant - Aloe vera contains antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E, which help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. 
  
  
• Gentle Exfoliation - The salicylic acid found in aloe vera can help gently remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.

It is very important to remember to test ANY scented lotion on a small spot on your face before using it as a primary facial lotion. And, if you suffer from any skin condition, we urge you to consult your dermatologist or physician before adding new things to your skincare routine.
