How to use Aloe for a blemish-free, beautiful skin?
Aloe Vera is one of those super-amazing wonder plants. Rich in nutrients and healing properties, it has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb. Aloe Vera gel helps with digestion, boosts immunity and is used topically to heal burns, wounds, and to enhance one’s hair and skin, especially the face.
How does Aloe Vera gel help your skin?
Aloe is hydrating. It moisturizes, without leaving any oily residue and softens the skin.
It boosts healing of burns, cuts, eczema and acne or pimples, speeding up your skin cell reproduction by as much as 8 times, while lessening redness and infection.
Because Aloe Vera has the ability to boost skin cell reproduction, it helps the growth of new skin cell, and can help to reduce stretch marks, acne marks and inflammation.
It does the work of an astringent – it flushes dirt, microbes and excess sebum from the pores, thereby helping to reduce pore size.
How do you use it?
Many grocery stores now offer aloe leaves, so you can purchase one of these, or if you have an Aloe Vera plant at home, choose the biggest leaf on the outside of the plant and cut it off with a sharp knife at the plant’s base or pull it off from the bottom.
Then, take a sharp knife and slice the thorns off from the edge of each leaf. Then cut the stalk into half and keep the gel side up. You can also slice open the leaf. Using a spoon, scrape the gel out into a container. You can now use the gel or refrigerate it.
If this is too much of a pain for you, no problem, you can buy Aloe Vera gel from a store, or online, like Beauti Me’s Anti-fungal, Anti-bacterial Aloe gel.
Whatever gel you choose, all you need to do is rub the gel onto your face or pat it on problem spots. You can even take a cut leaf and rub that onto your skin for a healthy glowing face!
