what is the use of aloe vera gel - #14500

Diya

I am really curious about what is the use of aloe vera gel because I started using it on my skin after reading loads of good stuff online. A couple of months ago, I had this weird sunburn that just wouldn't go away, like it was sticking around like an unwanted guest. I heard my friend mention that aloe vera gel could help soothe burns, and I figured it was worth a shot. To be honest, I didn’t even know what is the use of aloe vera gel besides burn relief at the time. I applied it daily, and surprisingly, my skin felt cooler and less irritated after just a few uses. That got me thinking, is it really just for burns?? I read some random articles and they mentioned acne and moisture, but like how does it actually work for those things? I also started noticing my face felt smoother, and I kinda wonder if that’s a thing! I mean, what is the use of aloe vera gel for acne specifically? Or is it just a matter of everyone’s skin being different? I even think I’ve read that people use it for hair too, but does that even make sense? Honestly, I am a bit overwhelmed with all the info out there. I really wonder what the key benefits are and if it’s worth incorporating into my daily routine or if I’m just chasing a trend.
