Aloe Vera can do a lot, but not everything
Aloe Vera is a plant whose juice is used in skin care creams. That juice has a healing and disinfectant effect on skin damage. Interestingly for people with vitiligo, Aloe Vera also contains substances such as antioxidants and phenylalanine. The latter substance is said to make the skin more sensitive to light, meaning that light therapy can have a greater effect. However, don't expect miracles, because Aloe Vera can do a lot, but not everything. It is certainly not suitable as a sunscreen.
Gel or cream with Aloe Vera is pleasant and cooling on the skin after an afternoon in the sun. These creams and gel are available everywhere. Aloe Vera gel 98 % is also available on the internet and in some stores, such as De Tuinen. It is also possible to use the gel directly from the plant. The plants are grown for their raw materials in plantations, often in the Caribbean, but they are also for sale in Dutch garden centers. The Aloe Barbadensis Miller is said to provide the highest quality gel. Once you have found such a plant, you can cut off a piece of it and apply the gel that comes out of it to your skin.
In this video you can see how to approach that.
