Fresh aloe vera is not suitable for direct application on the face. Fresh aloe contains aloin, resin and other substances, which is called hapten in medicine. When it combines with protein of skin epidermis, it is easy to trigger the whole antigen of allergic reaction, leading to skin allergy. Aloe juice contains a lot of vitamin B, but it is a water-soluble substance, which is difficult for the skin to absorb.
The direct application of aloe juice can not only moisturize the skin, but also achieve the effect of skin care. The reason is very simple. First, the concentration of effective components is not enough and the effect is very small. Secondly, the molecules are too large to be absorbed. Therefore, natural skin care ingredients are only effective if they are eaten or applied to the face after industrial extraction.
