We've long known the benefits of aloe, especially after years of tempting the sun again and again with our pasty winter complexion. (Don't "at" us, Mom.)
But did you know you could cure your sunburn and drink your aloe, too? (Please, for the love of God, do not start mixing your sunburn spray into your cup of tea.)
Yep, drinking the juice that comes from the aloe vera plant (a thick and gooey liquid that can be watered down and purified into a consumable substance) can also hydrate skin cells. Some studies even claim aloe vera can reverse the effects of aging by reducing wrinkles, clear skin of acne-causing bacteria and stimulate collagen production for a smoother and more elastic complexion. (Fountain of Youth…right this way?!)
That's why purveyor of trendy (and, dare we say, Instagram-worthy) wellness drinks Dirty Lemon has just released their latest concoction…and claims it tastes like a mojito. Yep, we're listening now, too.
