Kourtney Kardashian Uses This $8 Plant To Keep Her Skin (And Home) Looking Great

We can always count on Kourtney Kardashian to keep us up on all the best natural beauty remedies. This time, she’s combining her love for interior design with her latest skincare tip.

“If the kids or I get a sunburn, I always use fresh aloe vera applied directly to the skin,” Kourtney reveals on her app and website. “I keep aloe vera plants in my house, too. You can just break off a leaf and squeeze it to get a small amount of gel.”
