Aloe Vera skin care tips

Why you should use Aloe Vera

"I'm so tired; how long must I apply this cream until it clears up my acne?"

"Faith, your hair looks so rich and healthy, what do you use?" some friends have also inquired.

People, particularly women, ask these questions, as you may have noticed. They seem to be unsatisfied after trying several different brands of cream for hair and skin.

We are exposed to dust, sweat, heat, germs, and even too much sunlight on a daily basis. All of these factors contribute to various injuries, brittleness, breakage, and dryness on our skin and hair.

However, aloe vera has proven to be really beneficial. It's a medicinal plant that has been used over the years.

Actually, I use aloe vera because of its natural benefits, which include no adverse effects when used properly. So, whenever I have a skin or hair problem, I simply pick up my Aloe Vera gel and apply it. I sometimes combine it with other natural ingredients such as honey, essential oils, and so on.

The following are some of the skin benefits of Aloe vera: 

*Its anti-inflammatory properties help with acne.

*It promotes hair growth and prevents hair breakage.
