5 Benefits of Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel does much more than soothe and treat sunburn. Heralded by the ancient Egyptians and widely used ever since, this “plant of immortality” stores water in its stems to naturally create a gel-like substance rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.

The succulent plant grows in both dry and tropical climates and has a long history of medicinal use. In addition to beautifying gardens and bringing life to boring windowsills, aloe vera gel can be topically applied to soothe skin, heal wounds, and much, much more.

In modern times, countless studies have concluded that the unique properties of aloe vera make it an effective home remedy for treating a bevy of skin conditions. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic, aloe vera gel can be useful in treating burns and minor skin infections as well as persistent skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, skin ulcers, minor skin infections, genital herpes, and dandruff.

That said, there are even more uses for this medicinal plant. Here are the five biggest benefits of aloe vera gel:

1. It Moisturizes

One of the main benefits of aloe vera gel for your face and the rest of the body is its ability to moisturize the skin naturally without giving it an oily, greasy feel. This makes it great for anyone with oily skin. Women can use it prior to applying mineral-based make-up, men can use it after shaving, and everyone can use it to moisturize, soothe, and heal the skin.

2. It Soothes

Aloe vera gel heals the skin at the epithelial level. While the gel itself soothes the pain associated with sunburn, its compounds suppress inflammation and act as a protective layer while replenishing moisture. This, along with aloe’s nutritional, antioxidant-rich properties, allow it to heal skin quickly and effectively.

3. It Treats Acne

The salicylic acid found in aloe vera gel acts as a natural exfoliate and anti-inflammatory, making it effective in unclogging pores. It also contains the Auxin and Gibberellins hormones, which provide anti-inflammatory and healing properties proven to reduce skin inflammation. In addition to helping treat acne, these same properties have also proven effective in healing psoriasis, eczema, and other chronic skin conditions.

4. It Reduces Stretch Marks

The elasticity of skin allows it to expand and contract to accommodate growth. However, when stretched too much, too quickly, the skin’s elasticity can be damaged, resulting in stretch marks. These marks are actually minor tears in the skin caused by excessive stretching due to rapid weight gain, pregnancy, and so on. Aloe vera gel can assist in healing these tears and reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

5. It Promotes a More Youthful Appearance

As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and fine lines appear. Aloe vera gel contains several antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and beta carotene, which work together to help hydrate the skin and improve its natural firmness and elasticity.

With so many soothing and healing benefits, aloe vera should be a fixture in every home. Honeyskin Organic Aloe Vera Gel combines the benefits of aloe with the rejuvenating benefits of apple stem cells and Manuka honey to provide the ultimate skin care product.

My husband Honeyskin mistakingly to make our own hand sanitizer. It seemed to be to thick in concentration for hand sanitizer. Upon looking at the label I decided to use it on my skin. I’m 62 years old and have always, since childhood, had dry and wrinkled skin. This has been compounded by 44 years of Type 1 Diabetes, Hypothyroidism and Adrenal Insufficiency (which requires daily dose of steroids to maintain life). Please realize all these ailments are debilitating to the skin, aging and wrinkles come forth. My skin is very thin and looks much like some 80 year olds.
I’ve used Honeyskin Stem Cell Therapy with Organic Aloe Vera Gel, Manuka Honey, Apple Stem Cells, Orchid Stem Cells on my legs, arms, face and body; additionally on a water blister caused by the sun, it has truly amazed me in how quickly it has made a huge, huge difference in my skin. Once I saw the difference it is making, I then went on line and read about your product. I wasn’t fooled or sold a preconceived idea of what the product is designed to do. I see it from my own experience!
