Aloe Vera… Aloe Vera… Oh, I love you. Recently, as in a week ago, I fell in love with this miracle working stuff.
Wait — no, actually I fell in love with this miracle working stuff 3 years ago, but it was for my hair. Little did I know, (and I may be late) that it’s just as good for the skin! *singing* amazzzinngg…
I don’t like to use many products (chemicals) on my skin, but I’m cool with the all-naturals like my handy Pure West African Shea Butter, and as long as I don’t have to mix or create anything on my own.
So I was reading.. umm can’t remember which blog exactly because after reading the first article, I backed their reviews up with research. Which led me to try it on my own since I had some stocked up. If you don’t already know the benefits of Aloe Vera (gel) let me explain…
- It’s an all-natural beauty & health product, meaning that there are several different uses; either as a fresh herb (if you have a plant), as a dietary supplement, or purchase a bottled gel (which many use it as, like myself).
- Aloe Vera literally acts as a medicine for pretty much all skin problems. It will replenish skin cells, further creating a fresh, new layer. It’s cooling to the skin — soothing and nourishing as it regenerates. It works better than all those first aid creams designed to heal a cut or topical burn. It basically speeds up the recovery process. I myself experienced a miracle job within 12 hours under my chin. Literally in 12 hours, the cut had completely healed. Spring & summer months are coming — sunburn? √
- Relieves joint and muscle pain; and also aids to ease inflammation, reducing arthritis pain. Keep in mind, this can be used internally and externally.
- For the men who battle razor bumps and scarring from the shaving aftermath, you can speed up your healing process by applying Aloe Vera directly to your face!
- Lastly, the Aloe Vera plant contains 72 nutrients, 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids, and 200 active enzymes. Can we go wrong?
Completely agreed! Aloe vera is one of the greatest natural plant to use and many many great benefits.
Yes! I really, really love it. In only a matter of 3 days, it’s done wonders to my skin. definitely stocking up. thanks for stopping by! x
So true! As children, my mom kept Aloe Vera plants. Whenever we’d fall and scar our knees, she’d put aloe vera on it. Now that I am older and natural, I swear by Aloe Vera. I keep it for my husband because he has very dry skin. I also keep it for my skin as well because I have acne prone skin. Moisturizers tend to break my skin out worse, but aloe vera works wonders. Ok and as far as the hair, everyone wondered how my hair grew back so fast after my first big chop, but it was a result of pure glycerin, water, and aloe vera.
