Hello doctor,
I am 26 years old, and I have never used any product for my hair or skin. I am working in IT night shift, and I have dark circles. I came across a video from a bright side that aloe vera can reduce dark circles. So I wanted your suggestions on this. Can I start using aloe vera gel for my skin and hair? And for hair can I use it as a styling gel which means can I leave it after applying on my hair or I will have to wash it after a few minutes or hours? Please advise.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
See the dark circles you are having are due to awakening at night. So during the night shift, try to relax your eyes in between. You can use ice packs to soothe your eyes once or twice. Take fresh fruits and vegetables, also for dark circles and do not let them increase because they are hard to cure at later stages. As far as Aloe vera gel is concerned, you can use it on your hairs and skin. But make sure that it is 100 % natural. If you are using it as a styling gel, then you can wash it after a few hours. I will not recommend you to leave it on your hairs. I hope you understand my point.
