aloevera 508x550 4 Healthy Hair & Skin Benefits of Aloe Vera (Gel, Juice)

Hello Naturalista!

The Aloe leaf is known for its ability to endure rigorous weather conditions by storing water in its ever so precious leaves. With no stem and pointy spikes, it heals skin, body, and hair in a variety of ways.

Hair Loss

Aloe is one of the most common ingredients in today’s African American hair products. Egyptians used this godsend to treat hair loss and promote hair growth.

The enzymes found in aloe help dissolve oil and dead skin to promote a healthy scalp. Since it is an alkalizing ingredient, it will help balance the scalp’s ph level to help hair grow.

Conditioning

Aloe Vera gel is obtained by extracting it deep inside the leaves of the plant. The gel mirrors keratin, which makes up 90% of our hair.

The gel goes deep into the scalp, adding volume and shine for beautiful, healthy hair.

The great thing about aloe vera gel is there is no greasy build up!

It fights frizz by protecting your hair‘s outer layer. If your hair is dry or damaged, aloe can speed up the repairing process by shooting proteins through the hair shaft.

Quick Tip: Try mixing 1 tablespoon of shea butter with 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel for an easy Shea-Lo Recipe. Makes a delightful, moisturizing skin cream that doesn’t feel greasy.

Dry Skin

Since the aloe leaf is known for surviving conditions with little to no water, you can imagine what it does for skin. It is a natural moisturizer that completely hydrates without leaving a greasy feel.

Oily skin types would love this because you get all the moisture you need without feeling shiny or greasy!

The skins PH balance is also restored, relieving you of that tight feeling your skin can get after cleansing.

Anti-aging

Need a natural approach to reverse the aging process?

Aloe vera can help fight those pesky signs of aging we all try to avoid. The aloe leaf is loaded with antioxidants that protect the skin from the environment and increase elasticity.

Skin can become more firm and supple with regular aloe use. Fine lines and wrinkles slowly begin to diminish.
