Aloe Vera & Skin Benefits

About Aloe Vera

Aloe vera comes from the aloe plant, a succulent native to Africa that has been used medicinally for centuries. Aloe leaves ooze a clear gel when broken off from the rest of the plant that can be applied topically to heal wounds and soothe skin, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The green part of the leaf that surrounds the gel can be used to produce a laxative juice called aloe latex, according to the NCCAM. Aloe plants are sub-tropical and can grow indoors or outdoors as long as they receive plenty of sunshine and have no chance of freezing.

Aloe Vera for Burns

Aloe vera is primarily used to soothe blistered, sunburned skin, according to Aloe-Vera-Studies.org. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it supports skin cell regeneration. Aloe vera also contains active compounds that may decrease pain, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, and for this reason provides a cooling, refreshing feeling when applied to skin. Because aloe vera is largely made up of water, it evaporates quickly and can be re-applied as frequently as desired.

Aloe Vera for Skin Conditions

Aloe vera contains 19 of the 20 amino acids required by the body for good health, according to AloeVeraBenefits.com, and for this reason it is a powerful healing agent. In addition to treating burned skin, aloe is useful in moisturizing dry, flaky skin. It has also shown some promise in treating more serious and persistent conditions such as genital herpes, dandruff, psoriasis, canker sores, skin ulcers and others, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The Benefits of Aloe Vera: Skin Care, Digestion and More

By Nancy Chute

Aloe Vera is a natural remedy used for burns, scrapes and digestive health. The herb can even be used as a natural cosmetic and easily grown in any home garden.

I grow my own treatment for minor, burns on a kitchen windowsill where it's always fresh and ready for emergencies. This living remedy, aloe vera, is also a great plant to have around for scrapes or rashes and, as it turns out, many other ailments too.

The benefits of aloe vera are not an old wives' fantasy. Its healing qualities are medically recognized and many creams, ointments, and cosmetics made from its juices are sold in this country and all over the world. Still, it's less expensive-and more effective-to grow your own!

The plant's secret is the clear jelly stored inside its thick succulent leaves — a juice which forms a protective coating over a cut, burn, or abrasion and so promotes healing. Best of all, this natural ointment needs no processing to be effective. Just break off a leaf, slit it open, and smear the gel liberally on an affliction. Then keep the area moist to draw out the pain.
Unused portions of the healing greenery will stay fresh wrapped in plastic and stored in the refrigerator, where it will remain ready for repeat applications or for the next crisis that comes along. In cold weather a severed leaf also keeps well on a bathroom windowsill while a rash or pimple is being doctored.

Aloe Vera and Burns

Our first "burn plant" quickly fascinated our children. They saw me use its juice to treat minor mishaps with hot saucepans and became anxious to make the thick jelly work its magic for them, too. Soon, a scraped leg from a bicycle accident gave them the opportunity. I felt like a witch doctor as I slit a leaf lengthwise and carefully patted the gel on the abrasion but the victim claimed that the treatment worked wonders.
We've since relieved the pain and redness of sunburn, cleared up a persistent diaper rash, and healed assorted skin blemishes in the same way. Sometimes I've even taped a slice of aloe vera directly to an affliction to keep the injury moist with its healing jelly.
Some experts say that such ailments should be treated with leaves at least one foot long, since only mature aloe vera foliage possesses healing qualities. I've used smaller shoots, however, with good, results but have noticed that larger, older spears do have a stronger odor and yellowish rather than clear jelly. No doubt these are signs of "bigger medicine."

Aloe Vera and Skin Benefits

Our few experiments with aloe vera have explored only its most common uses. I understand, though, that this remarkable plant (now under scientific investigation for its beneficial effects on X-ray and other radiation burns) has been known over the centuries for a variety of healing powers.

Along the Texas - Mexico border, for instance, old timers will clean quite a large wound with antiseptic and then bandage a cut aloe vera leaf to it, just as the Indians did. Another leaf is applied when the dressing is changed. Folks in those parts put the gel on the skin to protect against insect bites or to relieve itching, too.

I've also heard that Mexican women use the plant cosmetically by rubbing the leaves on their faces to prevent wrinkles and the men use it as a shampoo to prevent baldness and graying. The thick juice is massaged into the hair and scalp which absorb it within a few hours-and left on overnight. The next morning, when the dried gel is washed off (no soap is necessary) — lo, the hair is silky, manageable, and supposedly more luxuriant than before!

Skin Care Ingredient Article: Olive Squalane (formerly FitoDerm)

(Just FYI, our Face & Eye Toning Cream is infused with Olive Squalane and is on SALE this month.  Check out HERE!)

What is Olive Squalane (formerly FitoDerm)?

Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, is a high purity vegetable Squalane obtained from Olives. Well known as Nature's Facelift, Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, is a botanical lipid that mirrors human lipids in molecular structure and weight (scientists found that the skin's sebaceous glands synthesized approximately 10-12% Squalane). The Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, offered by Ingredients To Die For is the plant-derived alternative to the animal-derived (shark liver oil) of the past. This valuable lipid is extremely compatible with the skin and is safe for all skin types, making it a great choice for regenerative skin care, and anti-aging products.

Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, is an, absolutely essential oil for the skin, especially when a regenerative effect is desired.  The skin has sufficient levels when it's young, and healthy.  As we age the levels drop considerably and by the time we're in our mid-thirties, and forties, we no longer have sufficient levels to maintain healthy skin.  It is believed  that this drop off is, in part, responsible for many of the signs of aging skin, including the tendency to become easily damaged, thinner, and lack lustre.  The addition of Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, can help to replenish the natural levels lost through the normal aging process, contributing regenerative activity to restore a more youthful appearance, and resistance to inflammatory conditions.

If you've been looking for a way to make your body oils, and emulsions, feel more silky, and powdery, Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, is one of the simplest, and most pure, solutions.  Sure, you could add a starch, or some other drying ingredient but, you'll also be adding the characteristics and activity of those other additives.  With Olive Squalane, formerly FitoDerm, even at 2%, offers a soft smooth feel to products, softens and nurtures the skin, and also enhances absorption into the tissues, delivering the abundance of nutrients where they can go to work.

Guest Skin Care Treatment Article: How to Heal Dry Skin Around Eyes

Healing dry skin around the eyes might seem like an impossible task. However, if your skin is damaged, there are certain steps you can take to help improve the skin around your eyes. Read the following tips to learn how to heal eyes with dry skin.

Steps:

1) Choose your facial cleansers wisely.

1. 
   Regular bar soaps have reputations for stripping the skin of moisture and natural oils. When purchasing a facial cleanser, make sure that the ingredients are gentle to the skin and can maintain your skin's pH balance.

Moisturize your skin every day

1. 
   
   
   While a regular facial moisturizer might work to hydrate your skin, the area beneath the eyes is especially delicate. Consider buying a special moisturizing eye cream to keep the under-eye area soft and supple. You can also choose a natural substance to moisturize with, like pure vitamin E, Aloe Vera, or jojoba oil. Apply your chosen moisturizer right after you cleanse your skin or get out of the shower.
