Aloe Vera - Aloe vera’s astringent properties make it a good choice for helping to manage blemish-prone skin – which is frequently caused by blocked hair follicles, excess sebum, and dirt on the skin. The zinc in aloe vera acts as an astringent to tighten pores, while the amino acids in aloe vera soften hardened skin cells and encourage them to slough off and renew.
