The Aloe Vera plant is not only a beauty to look at, but it’s packed with many natural beneficial vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants, not to mention its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. With all these wonderful benefits, no wonder Aloe Vera is known to help with many different skin conditions including acne, acne scars, and eczema.
Getting Acquainted With Aloe Vera
I’ve heard about Aloe Vera for a long time, but never really used it on my face. However, I have used it in my hair before, and noticed a big difference. I decided to take a chance and rub some of the fresh gel from the inside of the plant on my face, and let me tell you, my skin looked like it was happy to get some much needed hydration.
Natural Skin Moisturizer With Aloe Vera
The thing I like the most about the fresh Aloe Vera gel, is that it moisturized my face without leaving it greasy. At first, when I rubbed the aloe gel on my skin, it felt stiff, but after a few hours, my face felt soft and smooth. I didn’t felt the need to wash it off, so I just left it on like a face cream.
Aloe Vera for Baggy Eyes and Dark Circles
I applied the Aloe Vera from the freshly cut plant, and left it on my face overnight. I woke up in the morning, then washed it off. I must say that it also helps to reduce puffy eyes and dark under-eye circles. I’m just loving this plant so much, and see no reason to stop using it. I wish I had been using it years ago to get rid of stubborn acne and dry skin.
Disappearance of Fine Wrinkles With Aloe Vera
When you apply Aloe Vera to your face or skin, it automatically supplies moisture to your skin, which helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, whether it’s on your forehead, around the eyes, or around the mouth.
Aloe Vera for Detoxing and Weight-loss
In addition to those amazing skincare benefits you can get from Aloe Vera, there’s also other benefits such as detoxing and weight-loss. I drank a cup of blended Aloe Vera juice from the gel that I took from the plant two days in a row, but it didn’t give me that laxative effect like I heard some people talked about. Maybe it’s because I didn’t blend a lot. Some people blend the whole leaf and drink it.
It is bitter at first, but after a period of time, you’ll get used to the taste. Aloe Vera is known to clean out toxins and mucus from your body. There are testimonies from people who claimed that it helped them lose their protruding belly after drinking Aloe Vera juice. However, not everyone can consume it, especially if they’re on certain medications or they may have allergic reactions.
