Indeed, you might have used aloe Vera in recent days for dry skin and minor cuts. Despite bundled with healing properties, you may still be looking to confirm if it’s safe for use on your skin and hair. In simple words, the answer is yes. If used the right way, it can be magical in terms of its efficacy for a variety of skin and hair problems.
The aloe vera gel is extracted from plants that originated in many parts of the world. Actually, there are a variety of aloe vera plants with more than 400 different species around the globe. And the uttermost used variety and also familiar with mankind is “barbadensis Miller“.
In common medicine, aloe vera is utilized as a gel-like substance, which is derived as the juice of the leaves and then processed in gel-like form. If you break the leaves, the gel-like juice will start coming out by pressing it firmly and it can be used directly on the skin. And it is the purest form of aloe vera gel available on the earth. But the only problem is that essential preservatives are required to preserve it in order to store it for longer than few weeks.
Some Benefits of Aloe Vera
- Dry Skin
Aloe vera gel quickly absorbs into the skin, this way it’s a favorite remedy for oily skin. Moreover, it can be helpful in treating dry conditions of the skin and scalp too. Consider replacing your chemical-based moisturizers with aloe, especially after taking shower to let moisture sew up into your skin.
- Eczema
The moisturizing properties of aloe can add essential moisture required for healthy skin. It may also aid in reducing light dermatitis conditions. This type of eczema usually attacks the scalp, but it can also cause dryness on the face and backside of the ears, as well.
- Facial Acne
Aloe vera is very well known for its anti-inflammatory effects. And this makes it an ideal plant-based treatment for inflammatory types of acne, like pimples, and red flares. Use aloe vera gel directly on your affected area with a cotton swab twice a day and 7 days a week. Another effective way to use is by adding few drops of Tea tree essential oil and apply on acne.
- Facial Toner
Aloe can do wonders when combined with Rosewater and chamomile hydrosol. A single mist spray of one tablespoon of gel with double this quantity of hydrosols twice a day can help cleans the dirt and open pores. Furthermore, it will add shine to facial skin.
- Minor Cuts
Before you go to the pharmacy for a topical anti-biotic to apply on a minor cut, consider using aloe gel instead. Its natural formulation may speed up the healing process and reduce scars in response. Its molecular structure can defend and limit bacterial growth in a natural way.
Side effects and Precautions
The best rule that applies to stay safe is that not every product is made for everyone. Therefore, keep this in mind and do a patch test as you may be allergic to any substance found in the aloe vera gel. This product is only for topical use and not intended for consumable purposes. This product should only be used for minor ailments and may not suit self-diagnosed conditions and desired purposes.
If you apply aloe for a couple of weeks and do not notice any positive changes, please consult a dermatologist. We recommend you please consult your physician urgently if you have serious skin and hair conditions.
