8. Anti-Aging
One more benefit of aloe vera for the skin is that it may be useful for improving the visible affects of aging. This is partly due to the antioxidant effects of aloe vera which are provided by the many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C.
Not only are free radicals responsible for damaging the DNA and eventually leading to cancer, but they can also cause damage to the cell walls which eventually adds up to result in visible wrinkles.
This is just one more reason that we so often see aloe vera included in the ingredients for popular skincare products.
