From Hyaluronic Acid to Vitamin E, our self tanners are infused with an array of skin-loving ingredients. Our latest obsession? Aloe Vera! Deeply hydrating and soothing, it can do wonders for your skin and tan. Read on to discover the skin benefits of Aloe Vera and meet our favorite Aloe Vera-infused self tanners.
What is Aloe Vera?
Aloe Vera is a succulent plant with thick, short stems that stores water in its leaves. Rich in Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, and Antioxidants, it has been used to cool and soothe the skin for centuries. We love it most, though, for its deeply hydrating properties.
What are the skin benefits of Aloe Vera?
With a high water content, Aloe Vera helps to hydrate dry skin, resulting in a more even and longer-lasting tan – but that’s not all. Other skin benefits of Aloe Vera include:
- Moisturizing: Rich in Amino Acids and boasting a 99.5% water content, Aloe Vera is a natural moisturizer that helps to lock in hydration and leave skin feeling soft and smooth.
- Soothing: Thanks to its abundance of Minerals and Vitamins, Aloe Vera has a cooling and soothing effect on the skin.
- Kind to skin: Boasting antioxidant properties that help to soothe the skin, Aloe Vera is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Top Tip: Aloe Vera is particularly effective when used in moisturizers and no-rinse tanning products that sit on the skin and promote hydration.
Why should I use Aloe Vera on my skin?
As any glow-getter will tell you, healthy skin is the secret to an even-looking tan. When skin is dry, it absorbs excess tan, creating a patchy and unflattering finish. So, to achieve your most natural-looking glow, always keep skin hydrated and smooth.
That’s where Aloe Vera-infused self tanners come in! Not only will they create a beautiful, bronzed look, but they will hydrate and soothe skin too.
