How does aloe vera work?

Question

I have a really bad sunburn and I used aloe vera. I'm curious on what aloe vera really does. I know it forms a protective barrier which helps retain moisture and promotes healing but does it do anything else for a sun burn? possibly prevent peeling?

Answer 1

Aloe vera gel straight from the plant is used for sunburns, insect bites, minor cuts, it helps speed the healing process of your skins bobos, it soothes your bobos, it is good for mosquito bites and it helps heal and soothe your rashes.
