Dry, dull, and patchy skin? Aloe vera might be just what you need! Here's where you can get beauty products infused with this beneficial ingredient

Aloe vera has an inner clear gel that's made up of 99 per cent water, vitamins, glucomannans, amino acids, and lipids among many other healthy constituents that make it an essential ingredient in cosmetics, health care products, and other beauty products. It has natural healing properties; it can reduce inflammation and moisturises the skin. It's also anti-ageing and anti-acne—now who wouldn't want this in their daily skincare routine?

Here are a few products charged with aloe that are designed to provide what your skin needs:

One way or the other, you'll have to touch up within the day whether you're wearing full-face makeup or not. Spritz a bit of Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater onto the face to soothe and re-energise the skin. Don't fret—it won't make your face appear greasy and instead will leave it looking dewy. You can also get a headstart by spraying it all over the face before or after applying makeup for that added glow.

If you're in need of balancing your skin's microbiota (normal levels of bacteria in healthy skin) and want to remove any trace of cleanser before applying your moisturiser, apply Clarins Hydrating Toning Lotion. This plant-based toner works best with dry skin as it hydrates and feels cool when applied.
