Aloe Vera is one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world that can be used in many ways. It is contained in many cosmetic products, but the plant is also very good as a natural application.
Use of aloe vera in wound healing
Aloe Vera is especially helpful in treating minor cuts and household injuries.
- Scientific studies have proven that the ingredients of aloe vera gels promote cell division and thus tissue regeneration.
- It is therefore also a good idea to grow an aloe vera plant as a houseplant, as the effect of the fresh leaf is most intense.
- Simply cut open a leaf and apply it to the affected area.
- Alternatively, you can also buy ready-made pain gels made from aloe vera.
A medicinal plant against sunburn
Aloe Vera is also a ubiquitous remedy for sunburn and other burns because it has a calming effect. In addition, aloe vera supplies the skin with minerals, vitamins, and moisture.
- It is best to keep a leaf of the aloe vera plant in the refrigerator for this purpose. This increases the effect and gives a cooling effect on such injuries.
- To treat, simply cut a 3-4 cm piece and split it in half so you have two gel-filled plant parts.
- Now gently apply the gel to the affected area and repeat several times a day.
- Aloe Vera can be used to prevent sunburn. However, you should not go without sunscreen! In any case, the care is very good after prolonged sunbathing.
Aloe vera cares for the skin
Aloe Vera replaces many creams, masks, and moisturizing fluids in facial care because it moisturizes the skin and has a stimulating effect. After just a few days of use, the skin becomes purer and more radiant than before.
- To do this, you must first cut open a leaf of the aloe vera plant and apply the gel to the skin.
- The gel is then massaged into the skin for a few minutes.
- The gel can now remain on the skin until you go to bed but should act for at least half an hour.
- Alternatively, you can also buy an aloe vera face cream.
Use as an aftershave
Aloe Vera is also excellent to use after shaving.
- To do this, as with the methods written above, also apply the gel from the aloe vera leaf to the shaved area.
- Coconut oil can also be used as a supplement.
- This combination has an anti-inflammatory effect due to the medicinal plant and a relaxing effect due to coconut oil.
Aloe Vera for impure skin
Pure aloe vera gel is also ideal for impure skin with pimples or blackheads.
- The gel has an antibacterial effect against inflammation, activates the skin cells, and prevents scarring.
