2. Aloe Water Uses
While Aloe vera has long been used as a topical cream, or gel, to treat topical burns and abrasions, it’s now sold as a beverage at most local health food stores. If you perform a simple Google search for “the benefits of Aloe vera water,” you’ll find all sorts of claims.
Aloe water is touted for its ability to improve digestion, lower cholesterol, strengthen immunity, promote younger looking skin, and even trigger weight loss. Keep in mind that sufficient scientific evidence doesn’t exist to support most of these claims.

3. Aloe Water vs. Aloe Juice
To clear up any confusion, aloe water is a slightly tart beverage derived from the aloe plant. It’s not the same as the soothing gel and savior to sunburns and psoriasis.
Aloe water is an organic, filtered version of aloe juice, which means it’s minus any added sugar or artificial flavors. Although drinking from the aloe plant might not sound very appetizing, let’s look at a few reasons why celebrities, like Goop founder, Gwyneth Paltrow, swears by this elixir.

4. Aloe Water’s Skin-Boosting Benefits
An important thing to note here is that no beverage, just like no magic pill or food, can single-handedly transform the look of your skin. However, science tells us that the aloe vera plant is packed with essential vitamins.
Just to give you an idea, aloe contains, most notably, vitamin E, vitamin B, and vitamin C—which all support the immune system. So it’s very possible that those benefits could be mirrored on the skin’s surface.
