The Aloe Vera plant has been known and used for centuries for it's HEALTH, BEAUTY, MEDICINAL and
SKIN CARE properties.
• The Greek scientists, 2000 years ago regarded Aloe Vera as the universal panacea.
• The Egyptians called the Aloe "The PLANT of IMMORTALITY"
• The American Indians called Aloe " The WAND of HEAVEN"
Today the common name is just "ALOE VERA" or "The BURN PLANT"
The ALOE VERA plant, a member of the Lily Family, is a succulent that closely resembles a cactus.
There are more than 200 species of Aloe Vera, but some are more nutritious and more effective
medicinally than others and "ALOE VERA BARBADENSIS" is the species that is most Beneficial.

Aloette Skin Care is aloe based, which means that Aloe is the main ingredient in the entire skin care
line. Here's why, Aloe works in your skin in 4 ways:

1.) It Penetrates. It actually sinks down into the lower layers of the skin (dermis) where your collagen
is. Nothing you buy over the counter can do that. Why is that important? Cause if you buy something
that says it boost collagen, it's not true. If it can't reach the collagen, it can't help the collagen.
Penetration is also important when it come to cleansing, you want an aloe based cleanser to clean
deep down in your pores.

2.) It Exfoliates, Aloe is a natural exfoliator, the plant enzymes actually break down the soap and
residue that hold dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells make your skin look flaky,
dry and dull. A build up of dead skin can also break down your collagen over time (causing wrinkles)
which is why it is so important to exfoliate. Aloe does it naturally without scrubs or chemicals.

3.) Aloe Regenerates- Aloe regenerates skin 11 times faster than you body does naturally. That's
why aloe is often used on burns. If you have scars, sun spots, wrinkles or any other skin damage, aloe
can help heal it fast!

4) Aloe is a Natural Anti- inflamitory - Acne anyone? Redness? Aloe cleanses, removes impurities,
and shrinks and tightens pores all at once.

Here are a few more things aloe can do for you:
Heals psoriasis in up to 83% of suffers in 16 weeks.
Rub it on inflamed joints to ease pain.
Drink aloe juice to build a stronger immune system.
Aloe juice also help ease tummy aches.
You can even use drops of diluted aloe juice as immediate first aid for eye and ear infections.
Great for your hair, helps it stay healthy with less frizz.
And the best reason to use aloe , it prevents and even reverses the signs of aging

Aloe has been a beauty treatment and wrinkle fighter since ancient times. Cleopatra is said to have relied on aloe vera to keep her skin flawless. She massaged aloe gel into her face daily. Napoleon's wife added the gel to milk making a face lotion.

Aloe can aid in keeping the skin supple, and has been used in the control of acne and eczema. It can relieve itching due to insect bites and allergies. Aloe's healing power come from increasing the availability of oxygen to the skin, and by increasing the synthesis and strength of tissue.

Growing Aloe plants
Because Aloe plants consist of 95% water, they are extremely frost tender. If they are grown outdoors in warm climates, they should be planted in full sun, or light shade. The soil should be moderately fertile, and fast draining. Established plants will survive a drought quite well, but for the benefit of the plant, water should be provided.
Because of their popularity, Aloe vera plants are available at almost every garden shop or nursery. Unless you live in area with a very mild climate, it's best to leave your Aloe plant in the pot and place it near a window that gets a lot of sun. You can move the pot outdoors during the summer months.
Aloe vera is a succulent, and as such, stores a large quantity of water within its leaves and root system. During the winter months, the plant will become somewhat dormant, and utilize very little moisture. During this period watering should be minimal. Allow the soil to become completely dry before giving the plant a cup or two of water. During the summer months, the soil should be completely soaked, but then be allowed to dry again before re-watering.
Aloes have a shallow, spreading root system, so when it is time to repot choose a wide planter, rather than a deep one. Use a planter with a drainage hole, or provide a 1-2 inch layer of gravel in the bottom of the pot to ensure adequate drainage. Use a good commercial potting mix with extra perlite, granite grit, or coarse sand added. You may also use a packaged 'cacti mix' soil. Fertilize yearly, in the spring with a dilute (half strength), bloom type fertilizer (10-40-10).
Aloes are propagated by removing the offsets which are produced around the base of mature plants, when they are a couple inches tall (or larger). They may also be grown from seed.

As to the claims of the medicinal properties of the Aloe plant, I can only speak from my personal experience. I have kept an Aloe plant around for years, primarily for burns. In case of burns, an immediate application of fresh gel has relieved much of the pain, and prevented blistering, many times. I also found it to be quite effective to relieve itching from stings, bites and various 'stinging' plants, such as poison ivy. It is also good for the same problems, when they are encountered by your pets.
When you need to use it medicinally, just remove a lower leaf from the plant, slice it open, and apply the gel on the affected area.

Normally articles about wrinkle free skin will conjure up images of lotions and potions and one cream after another.

And all of those as we know add great cost to anyone's budget - in fact the beauty products owned by the average woman in the Western world are one of the biggest cumulative expenses even if each product does last for some time!

This wrinkle free skin tip however does not require buying any lotions of potions.
Research has shown that eating at least two portions of tomatoes a week helps to keep the skin looking younger and wrinkle free.

Therefore to reduce wrinkles and have young looking skin, eat a good amount of tomatoes!


The topic of wrinkles probably makes you cringe -- hopefully not too much though or else you will add some new wrinkles to your face. We all get them and as we age most of us women want to reduce them.



Wrinkles are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin. These are tissues in the skin that make it firm and elastic. The degree of wrinkling depends on your genetic makeup and the pace your skin wrinkles is dependent on smoking, dry skin and sun exposure. The sun can play a big part in wrinkling especially in the case of sunburns so avoid the sun whenever possible. Believe it or not, facial expressions can also play a roll in wrinkles such smiling, cringing and frowning.



So what can you do to reduce or slow the wrinkling process?



The following items can play a role in slowing, stopping or improving wrinkles:



Retin-A
Vitamin C
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Laser Resurfacing
Collagen Injections
Chemical Peels
Botox Injections
Fat Transfer
Moisturizers
Sunscreen



A definition for each one of these products or procedures is beyond the scope of this article but all of these treatments can help depending on the severity of your wrinkles.

Here are some tips for looking after your skin as you get older:



* Use a sunscreen every day. This will prevent further aging of your skin.

* Give up smoking.

* Avoid over-washing. As your skin does not sweat as much when you are older.

* Use a 'cream bar' or 'cream body wash', rather than soap.

* After bathing or showering, apply a body cream. This is better than using bath oil, which can make the bath or shower dangerously slippery.



Can improving your diet prevent wrinkles?



According to New Scientist (July 2001) researchers studied over 400 elderly people and their eating habits. They found the least wrinkly seniors had maintained a diet that consisted of eating a lot of beans, fish, vegetables, low- fat milk and tea. The wrinkliest seniors had consumed lots of soft drinks, cakes, red meat, pastries and full-fat dairy produce.



Draw your own conclusions, but a good balanced diet at very least can keep your weight under control.

take care
