Can I Use Aloe Vera Gel As A Moisturizer?

You can use aloe vera as a moisturizer if you have oily skin. If you have dry skin, adding another heavier cream on top may be best.

Thank you so much for clearing that, For oily skin- only Aloe vera is enough. For dry skin- 1St Aloe vera and 2nd moisturizer.

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

For dry skin, use 1st Aloe vera and 2nd moisturizer (with occlusive properties, such as a lotion or cream).

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Thank you 🙂 Yes, I may do some more routines on this soon. Since it works pretty well for me, I always use it as the first step after the cleanser, and I usually skip the toner. So would be the same step as Hyaluronic Acid. But there are many options, test it and see what you like most. Just do not use too much product! :)

[@mainecheung9546]

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).

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

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 :)

[@mainecheung9546]

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial thanks for your detailed explanation!!🖒🖒

[@jayedwardsuk5984]

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. 👌

You can use them in the same routine. There are not many things to consider. Apply Glycolic Acid first and layer Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide on top.

[@mintarezemaityte4551]

This question is off the topic but I was wondering if can use hyaluronic acid after retinoid, bc they say that ha can be only used on damp skin, otherwise it will dry your skin even more

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

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? 🤔

If we use aloe vera gel instead of moisturiser, do we need to skip hyaluronic n niacinamide serum. Or if we can use wat will be the order of application

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Well, you can use them in the same routine. But you do not have to. The order would be Hyaluronic Acid, Pure Aloe Vera Gel and lastly, Niacinamide. Keep in mind that's just when using a pure aloe vera gel. Not when using an Aloe vera moisturizer which usually includes shea butter or heavier oils!

Which is better, patting it on your skin or rubbing it?

It depends on what you like most. With some serums/gels, I like to pat with others; it works better with blending/rubbing. Sometimes it leads to pilling when blending/rubbing it. See what works best for you.

Can i use the gel of my aloe vera plant directly ? And use it as mostrizer without using another one?

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

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.

You do not need to use anything with that retinol should work well on its own. But no, I would use the gel before.

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?

And i used it at night.. Do i need moisture on the top of it? As it moisture my skin well

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

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. :)

I have questions. As soon as I apply aloe Vera gel to my face , it started to burn , sting and itch a little. Am I allergic to aloe Vera

This could be! However, what else do you use before or after applying your Aloe Vera Gel? Does the same happen when you are not using your Aloe Vera Gel?

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial I don't use anything before aloe Vera. I wet my face with water, then apply the gel. Then the sting and itchiness happen.

@@Kai791 What Aloe Vera Gel do you use? 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.

some peoples says aloe Vera gel on day time is harmful because it increase sun burn. is it ok to use spf 40 + aloe Vera soothing gel as body and face day cream. i have oily skin

I am familiar with the study, but applying sunscreen after using skincare products can help reduce any negative effects. And if the sunscreen contains aloe vera it is also okay.

Can an aloevera gel moisturizr be used over hyaluronic acid for retain moisturefor day and night time as I live in highly heat region.. High sun temperature..

[@MelissaVanDijkOfficial]

Use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from damaging UV rays. I am not in India, but The Minimalist seems to be "okay". www.amazon.in/Minimalist-Sunscreen-Multi-Vitamins-Cream/dp/B09FPS9D5T Or if you can get COSRX, then I highly recommend using their Aloe Soothing SunCream this one has also aloe vera and works well. www.amazon.in/Cosrx-Aloe-Soothing-SPF50-Cream/dp/B00PBX3FLW/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1UGEW9X4MOSG1&keywords=cosrx+sunscreen&qid=1652184040&s=beauty&sprefix=cosrx+sun%2Cbeauty%2C93&sr=1-5
