Awesome Aloe Vera Gel!
Aloe Vera Gel is the 1st ingredient listed on the Hydrating Body Crème jar.
Aloe vera has been used for a host of purposes since the ancient Egyptians called it the “plant of immortality.”
Listed here I would love to share some of the benefits of using Aloe Vera Gel.
1. Aloe moisturizes the skin without giving it a greasy feel
2. Aloe vera gel contains two hormones: Auxin and Gibberellins. These two hormones provide wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce skin inflammation. Giberellin in aloe vera acts as a growth hormone stimulating the growth of new cells. It allows the skin to heal quickly and naturally with minimal scarring.
3. Aloe is soothing and can reduce skin inflammations, blistering and itchiness, while helping the skin to heal more rapidly. Additionally, in Ayurvedic medicine, Aloe is used to effectively heal chronic skin problems, such as psoriasis, acne and eczema. Aloe gel causes change in the skin that help diseases like psoriasis
4. It fights aging, and yes, not only does our facial skin age, but we need to keep our body moisturized as well! No sense in all the treatments of the face, only to see the old adage “you can tell a woman’s age by her hands”. I for one, want my whole body to be moisturized, not just my face. (although I have never had eczema or psoriasis, just being me…I LOATHE the winter months when my legs have gotten so dry, you can actually SEE the dead itchy dry white colored skin, and they itch they are so dry…)
5. It lessens the visibility of stretch marks.
The skin is like one big piece of elastic that’ll expand and contract as needed to accommodate growth. But if the skin stretches too far, too fast (due to pregnancy, rapid weight gain or loss) the elasticity of the skin can be damaged. That’s what leaves those unsightly stretch marks. These marks appear due to minor tears in the layers of the skin caused by sudden and excessive stretching. Aloe vera gel can help hide these stretch marks by healing these wounds.
6. This solid material contains over 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes, sugars, anthraquinones or phenolic compounds, lignin, saponins, sterols, amino acids and salicylic acid.
7. It is a remedy for skin conditions including burns, sunburn, frostbite, psoriasis, and cold sores. Some people also use aloe gel to help surgical wounds and bedsores heal faster. There is science supporting these uses.
8. Some of the chemicals in aloe gel are able to increase circulation in the tiny blood vessels in the skin, as well as kill bacteria. Together, these effects seem to make it very effective in speeding wound healing. It speeds healing by improving blood circulation through the area and preventing cell death around a wound
9. It also appears that aloe gel has properties that are harmful to certain types of bacteria and fungi
10. It also shows some promise in treating more serious and persistent conditions such as eczema, genital herpes, dandruff, psoriasis, canker sores, skin ulcers and others, according to the Mayo Clinic. (some of which I have already mentioned. These are JUST A FEW of the many benefits of Aloe Vera Gel. There is so much more, but I think that is enough information to cover the 1st ingredient. Next up: Grapeseed oil! Stay tuned!
