Skin Application

Aristaloe aristata is primarily used for skin soothing, but it is not a direct substitute for Aloe vera. Its gel is used to soothe minor skin irritations and dryness, while in some traditional practices, it has been used as a body wash for a refreshing effect. The juice can be diluted with water to create a tonic for the skin.
