Aloevera for health and beauty

Dark spots are not a skin diseases or disorder and hence should not be fulled over too much. However, they are a huge cosmetic concern to many and must be dealt with at no cost. If you worry too much, there are certain home remedies you can try out before you go there only to churn your honey.

Aloe vera gel, a naturally occurring plant enzyme too has wonderful skin reviving properties and can be used for treating dark spots. Pluck an aloe vera leaf and dab it directly on the dark spots every day.

Continue doing it and feel your skin evolving into a fresh and glowing texture within days, along with removal of dark spots almost completely.

This is my personal observation.

Use the Aloe vera gel alone or along with your favourite skin cream to help better soften and moisturise the skin. Because aloe regenerates skin cells. It is also known to reduce wrinkles, eczema, acne, sun/age spots, and other blemishes. It is also gentle enough to use to care of tender skin after radiation therapy.

Applying Aloevera gel at night after washing the face also keeps skin hydrated if one is sleeping in air-conditioned room or a heated room.After bathing apply aloevera gel on moist skin to tap moisture and it will also heal any wounds,rash on the skin.It works great for oily skin.

• Mix a sufficient amount of ground coffee and fresh aloe vera gel into a paste.

Apply this paste on stretch marks and spread it evenly.

Massage it gently for 3 - 5 minutes.

Let it sit for about 15 - 20 minutes.

Use a warm towel or cloth to wipe it off.

Rinse with water and apply olive oil or moisturiser after drying.

Repeat the same process daily for about a month to reduce stretch marks.

Mix a teaspoon or two of moisturiser (depending on how oily your skin is) to a dollop of pure aloe vera gel and apply all over your face as a primer. Aloe vera gel will soothe redness and the moisturiser combination is a great way to maintain a dewy finish without looking oily. It works just as well as most store-bought makeup primers and contains fewer chemicals that could possibly be bad for my skin or toxic to my body.

Not only does aloe vera gel fill in the small wrinkles and pores in your skin to create a much smoother surface for makeup application, I've found it is also very affective in controlling oilyskin and shine. As a result, makeup looks a lot more even and lasts longer throughout the day.
