So, if you’ve made it to the third and final blog of this tripartite series, you may be hungry or thirsty or even tired at the thought of having to consider whether any of these matters being discussed even have any bearing on your personal life. Or maybe you are deeply affected by the things that I have said and now wish to go and get seen to regarding matters you may have been avoiding looking at, but first need something to eat or drink. Well unfortunately, I do not have any food but the final matter we are going to be talking about is Aloe Vera, which you can drink….Therefore, I hope that that counts for something – let’s now go through a list of some of it’s biggest healing properties to be able to decide if it really is as healing as it is proclaimed to be:
1.It allegedly treats sunburn – this is through the product ‘aloin’ being known for cooling down the skin after it has suffered from some kind of heat damage. This compound is contained in the leaves and is a bitter yellowy-brown substance that contains glycosides, this would explain why it’s water production level is at 98% which would be very effective in bringing moisture to a wounded/irritated area.
2.The same principle above applies for small abrasions because it targets any pain or burning sensations emerging out of the injury in the same way – it is effectively a pain reliever as opposed to a highly reliable treatment to get to the root of the injury/skin issue.
3.It helps with seborrheic dermatitis, a form of eczema which was also covered in the previous blog…This is a great benefit because the product can indeed be put on your face and also converted into hair products as well as for the skin and to drink, which can help those who suffer from this form of eczema in their scalp, have something to wash their hair with.
4.It is rich is vitamins A,C,E and B12 which are great for reducing inflammation that causes pain and therefore, speeding up the recovery process due to the reduction in inflammation on areas of concern. This helps to produce more nourishment to aid the fast healing process of a minor wound.
5.It can easily be used as a key ingredient in face washes and other skincare products because of its very high water content also making it more soluble and this is beneficial because it makes it more easier to use on a regular basis, especially if you tend to experience some of these skincare problems frequently, at a mild level. However, it is important to assess what other ingredients are contained in these products as it could lead to the irritation of your face and also avoid products where the quantities of Aloe Vera are low are there are then unlikely to be effective for your issues whatsoever.
6.It can help with anti-aging because the vitamins C and E and Beta Carotene in it really help to boost the collagen levels that boost the skin’s elasticity, levels that we begin to lose at around 1% of daily beginning between the ages of 20 and 30. In addition to this, Aloe Vera can help with fine lines, wrinkles and skin blemishes which are very highly common in old age and often a cause of concern and worry for the elder generations.
7.It is easy to apply and also purchase – In most of the health stores in my area, a pure version is readily available and as mentioned above, it is contained in a lot of skincare products in various quantities. However, the only problem with this, is that the packaging does not always state how long you are supposed to keep the product on for, as despite it being hydrating, the severity of your skincare issue may not require it to be left on, but rather washed off. However, many sources and blogs online, recommend that you do not leave it on for longer than 10 minutes unless it is a burn being wrapped up in a dressing overnight, but, please do seek guidance before application in every instance.
8.It helps with a range of different spots, ranging from acne to dark spots causing hyperpigmented areas. Not only does the application of Aloe Vera help to remove the outer layer of dead skin on the problem area and reduce redness and inflammation around the spot areas in acne but when mixed with other natural skin brightening ingredients, can help to even out the skin tone and counteract the effects of melasma, which is often triggered more by the sun and warm/hot weather conditions.
How does it work:
The leaves from the plant are utilised for the gel that they produce and it is then very often used to treat small cuts or abrasions and in some cases, sunburn.
Conclusions:
We can very much conclude that Aloe Vera does indeed have healing properties as based on the testaments of all the minor skincare issues that it is able to assist in recovering in its early stages. As well as smelling really good and being able to drink and…maybe; taste good too, it can also be easily used as ingredients for everyday skincare products and is packed with antioxidants and benefits that aid not only the younger generation but every age range, regardless of your skin texture and race. But please, do remember to check for allergens!
