Introduction
Does aloe vera acne treatments work on pimples? Well
people and even doctors claim they have seen positive results from
using the aloe vera plant to stop and cure pimples.
What Is Aloe Vera
We
should all know of the aloe vera plant. We have either grown the green
spindly thing in our home or seen it in someone else's home. It is that
plant we run to and break off a stem and rub the soothing gel on a burn
or wound we may have received.
The plant comes from the dry arid
areas of Africa but cannot survive in areas where it freezes, unless you
grow it in your home. It is probably one of the easiest plants to grow
in-doors because you can almost ignore it completely. Just water it once
and once again when it is completely dry.
How It Works On Acne
The
gel of the aloe vera plant is very rich in enzymes that have
anti-inflammatory properties, antibacterial properties and is very
soothing to the skin. Plus it has polysaccharides that are used in
repairing your damaged skin.
With all these powerful substances
in the gel of the aloe vera plant, they will decrease your inflammation
and scarring caused by pimples.
If taken internally it also helps
to clean up and even detoxify your digestive system. I would not
suggest you sucking on the stem of an aloe vera leaf that you find in
your home, but instead buy some liquid aloe vera at your store. It comes
in liquid form which all you have to do is drink.
If used
consistently and regularly, aloe vera can greatly improve and stop your
pimples. It will also repair the scaring on your face caused by pimples.
How To Use It
One
of the best ways I found to use this is as a facial mask. Rather than
ravage your plants at home, I suggest buying the gel at your local store
and follow the directions on the container.
The directions will
generally have you apply the gel to your face, let it dry, go to bed and
wash it off with warm water in the morning. Then an important step for
all people suffering from pimples is to cleanse your face after you wash
off the gel.
You should use the facemask at least once a week
but in the mean time, apply the gel daily to the areas on your face that
have pimples.
Conclusion
Aloe vera has been proven to
help stop acne and cure the scarring of acne on your face because of the
ingredient polysaccharides. This ingredient helps to repair skin damage
caused by pimples.
