Aloe vera can be used to treat mosquito bites. For the red, swollen skin resulting from a mosquito bite, cut a piece of aloe leaf, split it open, and gently rub the gel on the affected area several times—this helps reduce swelling and relieve itching. The mucilaginous sap of aloe contains unique proteins that slow cellular aging and help delay skin aging. Aloe is a natural moisturizer that replenishes lost moisture in the skin and supports collagen function.
