The summer months bring with them many skin health issues. The scorching heat and the sweat that comes with it can damage your skin, causing rashes, sunburns and other problems. While there are many remedies available, aloe vera gel is a natural and soothing product that can do wonders for your skin in the summer.
Dr. Yamuna BS, Chief Physician, Guduchi Ayurveda says, “During summers, excessive sweating, sudden skin rashes and sunburns are some of the most common issues people face. However, aloe vera is a gift from nature whose calming and cooling properties make it a perfect remedy for a number of skin problems. This amazing plant is particularly effective in balancing the pitta dosha, which often gets aggravated during the summer months. Using aloe vera daily can naturally relieve and soothe skin irritations that occur due to the increasing heat and exposure to the sun.”

The doctor further explains that aloe vera, moreover, can also soothe minor burns or wounds. “Simply cut a fresh aloe vera leaf and apply the gel directly to the affected area several times a day. This natural remedy promotes healing and provides instant relief from pain and inflammation. While its moisturizing benefits ensure that your skin stays hydrated and supple, a powerful blend of 70% aloe vera gel and 30% bentonite clay can work wonders in repairing sun-damaged skin,” says Dr Yamuna BS.
Apart from treating burns and sunburns, aloe vera also has anti-aging properties, making it an indispensable component of your daily skin care routine. Dr. Yamuna BS says, “Its rich range of vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants help combat signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a youthful and radiant skin. By choosing aloe vera for your skin care needs, you not only benefit from its therapeutic effects but also encourage a deeper connection with the natural world. Let the cooling and rejuvenating touch of aloe vera transform your summer skin care routine and help you get the glowing, healthy skin you deserve.”
