10 Uses of ALOE VERA

 10 Uses of ALOE VERA

1.     As a deep Conditioner: I am not sure about anyone else, but growing up this is what my mother used for years to "steam" my hair. It can be used on its own or with your own mixture of deep conditioner or other natural ingredients such as honey, castor oil and so on. Tip:  wear an old T-shirt as well as double cap your hair to keep everything in.

2.     Sun relief: had a long day out in the sun? At the beach perhaps, slice the flesh off the Aloe Vera,See all that green goo running? Massage that onto the skin, let it cool for a few minutes, and then take a bath.

3.     In addition to helping with your sun burn, it can also be used on minor cuts, and bruises, as well as insect bites.

4.     As a shaving serum: Again it's smooth and soothing texture makes it the perfect beauty aid.

5.     Makeup removal: Similarly to oil, Aloe Vera will help to strip away make up, making the removal process that much easier.

6.     Moisturize and seal: What's in my spray bottle you may ask . Water and Aloe Vera gel. If you read my transitioning post you’ll know that Aloe Vera and aloe vera gel were both used to help my hair retain moisture,

7.     As a face mask: similarly to honey, Aloe Vera has antibacterial properties so just leave it sitting on your face, it may itch a little.

8.     For dry and cracked skin: Give your hands and feet a soothing bath by immersing them in a basin of Aloe Vera.

9.     Detox: Aloe vera and orange juice can do wonders.it can be blended or you can choose to let the fleshy part of the plant sit in orange juice for about half an hour,stay close to a bathroom to be on the safe side.

10. No more sanitizers: Keep in mind those antibacterial properties we mentioned earlier.

Funny story I remember being about ten years old and being addicted to sucking my finger. As a child aloe vera and cerasee were the devil. The punishment for children who would not stop sucking their finger was to rub it in aloe vera or cerasee. Can anyone relate to that struggle? I surely suffered this punishment many times. You can also find aloe vera in the gel or juice form, but I strongly believe that if you can get the plant is is your best option. Your treatments and skin care will be much more effective. However the gel and the juice do have their pros. Once you've cut or scrape the plant, even when refrigerated, it will not last for more than a few days. Therefore if you are not using it all at once the gel and or the juice may be the best option for you. Until next week.....
