Description: If aloe vera makes you think of sunburn and the beach, you're on the right track. But using aloe vera for skin goes far beyond treating your sun-kissed complexion. Aloe vera benefits are among the best in the natural world for helping to soothe, hydrate, and heal tired and dry skin.

Granted, the aloe plant itself isn't much to look at — those spines may be downright intimidating at first — but, as you tell your little ones, it's not what's on the outside that counts...it's what's on the inside!

The aloe plant's fleshy leaves contain a gel that is packed with nutrients, active enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. It's no wonder that aloe vera has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of skin ailments and conditions!

In this article, we discuss the many aloe vera benefits and how you can use this gentle product to keep yourself — and your baby — comfortable in your own skin. To start, let's go over the basics: what is aloe vera?

What Is Aloe Vera?

Because of the way it looks, its spines, and the way it grows, many people mistake the aloe vera plant for a cactus. Although they grow in similar climates, aloe vera is not a cactus. It's a succulent!

Succulents are plants with parts that are thick, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Other common succulents include:

• Hens and chicks
• Snake plant
• Jade plant
• Burro's tail

When it comes right down to it, aloe vera is actually a member of the lily family and is more closely related to tulips and asparagus than to cacti.

The stems of the aloe plant are efficient at storing water. They are so good at retaining moisture that the leaves of the plant contain a clear gel that is almost 99 percent water with 75 active ingredients, including:

• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E
• Antioxidants
• Minerals
• Amino acids

This clear gel that hides inside the leaves of the aloe vera plant is the gel that you can apply straight to your skin. The combination of these natural ingredients into one gentle and easy-to-use gel means that the list of aloe vera benefits goes on and on!
