It was reported that Cleopatra and Nefertiti used Aloe vera gel on their faces on a daily basis to keep their skin smooth, soft and nourished. 
Aloe vera is a powerful moisturiser, rich in essential amino acids and different vitamins, including vitamins A, C, E, and B12. It stimulates collagen production, strengthening skin and improving its structure. Moreover, it increases the healing rate, allowing further skin restoration and protection.
