This is a question troubles me for a long time! I always hear people say a thicker moisturizer needs to be applied after Aloe Vera Gel, as the gel would actually dry out the skin (like hyaluronic acid). Thanks for clearing up this question!!! :DD (I have oily skin, so I want to find a light moisturizer).

Happy to help. 🙂 It does not dry out the skin. It attracts water but still does not the same as "real" Hyaluronic Acid. It works more like Sodium Hyaluronate. But yes you really need to test it and see how it works best :)

I have to agree with you it can definitely dry out the skin exactly like sodium hyularonate that's in so many products these days as it is more of a mild humectant/ hydrator rather than a moisturizer as such. I've been using raw aloe from the leaf for over 5 years straight and i can confidently say it can lead to drying of the skin if not used properly. I would say your right to apply a light moisturizer or a thicker non comedogenic one over it. 👌

Can i use the gel of my aloe vera plant directly ? And use it as mostrizer without using another one?
@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can use the gel from an aloe vera plant directly on your skin. Aloe vera is known for its soothing, moisturizing, and healing properties, and many people use it as a natural moisturizer. Here's how you can extract and use aloe vera gel: Choose a Healthy Leaf: Select a healthy, mature leaf from the aloe plant. Look for plump leaves that aren't discolored. Cut the Leaf: Using a sharp knife, cut the leaf as close to the base of the plant as possible. Clean the Leaf: Rinse the leaf under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Remove the Sides: Cut off the serrated edges on either side of the leaf. Remove the Gel: Slice the leaf open lengthwise and use a spoon to carefully scoop out the clear, gel-like substance inside. Optional - Blend: If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the gel for a few seconds. Apply Directly to Skin: You can apply the fresh aloe vera gel directly to your skin. It may feel a little sticky at first, but it should absorb quickly, leaving your skin feeling soft and hydrated. Store Any Extra: If you have more gel than you can use at once, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also mix it with a natural preservative like vitamin E oil or citric acid to extend its shelf life.

No, that's not true. They are talking about old formulations. Most serums nowadays do not include Hyaluronic Acid anymore. They have other derivatives of Hyaluronic Acid(sodium hyaluronate) which are still called Hyaluronic Acid. It isn't very clear. So they can penetrate the skin and do not sit on top. Therefore it does not matter if you apply it on dry or on damp skin. So you can use it before Retinol. But generally speaking, Retinol works best with a moisturizer; it just tends to feel better on the skin. (Base don my experience.) But which serum do you have? 🤔

Heyy aloea vera just byitself works perfect for me but the thing that i'm scared is if i use aloea after serums (aha+bha or niacinamide) the effect of serum will disappear since aloea itself doesn't offer a protective layer byitself.

Hey mam.. I used 10% Niacinamid serum and on the top of it i use 99% aloevera gel as it suitable for my oily skin.. I hope it doesn't gave me any acne... I just want to make it sure that i did it right?

@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet2 жыл бұрын
Since you have oily skin, you do not necessarily need to apply an additional moisturizer on top since your skin produces enough oil to seal the moisture. However, you can use oil-controlling products during the day if you feel that it is too much. But apart from that, no. :)

Hi, do you think cleanser, aloe vera, niacinmide, and tretintoin would work as a good morning/night routine. My face kinda gets dry but it doesnt bother me much, should i use a Fps 15 daily moisturizer after using niacinamide? (My face is kinda both dry and oily)

Is it a mask or 'moisturiser'? :) I recommend washing your face at first with water, pat the skin dry with a towel and then apply your Aloe Vera Gel on top (all over your face). If it is a mask, rinse it off after some time, if it is a moisturiser, leave it on the skin. Let me know if the problem still occurs.

You can use sunscreen (during daytime), but don't overdo it with the aloe vera gel as it may lead to pilling or feels very uncomfortable on the skin. I have just uploaded a video about the application, and you may find it helpful. It's about nature republic aloe vera, but you can just replace it with the one you have at home.

Use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from damaging UV rays.
