Benefits Of Overnight Aloe Vera Face Mask For Bright Skin

Aloe Vera Gel

  • Aloe vera has amino acids(source), which make the skin soft. It also contains zinc which acts as an astringent to tighten pores.
  • Aloe vera gel has moisturizing effects and improves skin elasticity and firmness. Hence reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • The hormones present in aloe vera, auxins, and gibberellins(source), help in wound healing and have anti-inflammatory action. Thus applying aloe vera gel will soothe the skin and heal wounds.
  • Aloe vera protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, which is one of the leading causes of premature aging.
  • Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces collagen and elastin fibers. This helps in making the skin youthful and glowing.

Lemon Essential Oil

  • Lemon essential oil has antimicrobial properties which keep away harmful bacteria and fungi to protect the skin from infections.
  • Lemon essential oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which help in keeping the skin healthy and boost collagen synthesis. Hence it has anti-aging effects.
  • Lemon essential oil exfoliates and detoxifies the skin to remove dead skin cells and other impurities. It thus helps in making the skin brighter and clearer.

Jojoba Oil

Precaution

While lemon essential oil provides a wide range of benefits, few individuals may have different experiences. So make sure to take the following notes into consideration before applying lemon essential oil on your skin.

  • Be sure to do a patch test to make sure your skin does not have an adverse reaction to the oils. The inner forearm is a great place to do a test since the skin is delicate, similar to facial skin.
  • Do not place lemon essential oil raw on the skin without diluting it with a carrier oil.
  • Make sure your skin is clean before applying this aloe vera face mask recipe. Do not apply if you have open wounds or acne.
  • Do not use if pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing unless given the OK by a medical professional.
  • Keep the product out of the eyes. Wash eyes immediately if it does make an entrance.
  • If your skin starts to burn, feel uncomfortable, or have a bad reaction, wash off immediately.
  • Consult a medical professional immediately if you have an allergic reaction, burn, or other reaction or injury.
  • Keep in mind that lemon is phototoxic, meaning that it can increase the sensitivity of your skin to light and cause it to be extra prone to burning. The best advice is to stay out of direct, bright light at least 12 hours or to apply at night to ensure safety.
