ALOE VERA

From ancient Egypt to Mesoamerica, aloe vera has been used for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits for centuries. It has been used to heal wounds, calm skin irritation, and reduce scarring.

Aloe vera grows best in dry climates like Africa, India, and throughout the United States’ West Coast. It is a cactus plant that secretes a clear gel when broken. Even applying this gel from a fresh plant can have powerful effects on wounds. Aloe vera can also be beneficial for a variety of skin conditions.

Aloe Vera Benefits for Skin

There have been numerous studies conducted to examine aloe vera benefits for skin and the plant has been found effective for sunburns, flaky or dry skin, acne, stretch marks, and other cosmetic ailments. Some other issues aloe vera can help clear up include:

• Burns
• Minor skin infections
• Eczema
• Dandruff
• Psoriasis

Aloe vera helps replenish your skin’s moisture without leaving any greasy residue. It brings hydration to your skin on an even deeper level, introducing antioxidants and other nutrients into the secondary layers of the skin to ensure it heals quicker. There are two main hormones and two main vitamins that are responsible for reducing skin inflammation and promoting healing: auxin and gibberellins, as well as vitamins E and C.
