Benefits of Aloe Vera for Under-Eye Area
- Hydration: Aloe vera deeply moisturizes the delicate skin under your eyes.
- Anti-inflammation: It can soothe inflammation, potentially reducing puffiness and dark circles.
- Gentle: Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin around the eyes.
Important Note: While aloe vera is generally safe, always perform a patch test before applying it to a large area of skin, especially around the eyes. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use. Aloe vera alone might not completely eliminate dark circles; its effectiveness can vary among individuals.
