Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant.
It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage.
Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices.
Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

If you have an aloe plant in the backyard, they break off some leaf and apply the clear gel to the wart as often as you remember, it may take a while to work, but they will slowly disappear.

ReplyDeleteI use this Aloe vera gel/cream. Of course I applied it after applying first the Aloe vera facial water. It really helps your skin become smooth and fresh. (There are two of types of it, I think, or it depends on the country being sold; 1st it's a slightly wet & tends to have a velvety skin result. 2nd feeling fresh. not sure the exact meaning in English but I guess you got the point).But since mixing Aloe vera cream with a facial liquid foundation doesn't give a better result, I use an "ever mere" cream mixed with liquid foundation during the day or when I'm about to go out from home (work, shopping). "ever mere" cream is a product from France made from eggs. This is good also. But I would recommend you to use Aloe vera instead if you have no facial allergy or if your skin is not too delicate, as Aloe vera is a bit cheaper than ever mere. Give a try on a first day or two and you will know if it is better for you or not. If your skin is delicate, you will notice the allergy in just an hour or two after the application.
ReplyDeleteI've used fresh aloe juice directly from the plant on my face, and have tried daily applications. I think it's too strong my for my skin and it sometimes burns or stings a little - I have no "chemical" explanation to offer, however. Perhaps it has something to do with the "healing" affect of aloe - that it may stimulate cell turnover (exfoliation)? I have had great success in preparing a little fresh juice and diluting it with about 4 parts distilled water. I add a drop or two of skin-friendly essential oil as well. I keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and apply several times a day to my face and hands. I find that it is very moisturizing and that my skin is healthier overall. I follow with lotion on my hands and they are much smoother than with lotion alone. Aloe is supposed to offer some SPF protection and protect and moisturize skin
ReplyDeleteAloe Vera juice applied twice a day can greatly help in healing of the scars of the acne. Aloe Vera juice can be found at most health stores.
ReplyDeletestrong laxative elements found in the outer leaf, they must pass the whole liquid through the charcoal filters, which inevitablyupsets the natural balance of nutrients found in the gel.
