Aloe plant: a miracle for your health and for your skin

Aloe vera is a succulent plant originally from Saudi Arabia, although its cultivation has been extended to all areas of the world. The gel found in the center of the leaves of the plant, as well as the juice that is extracted when squeezed, contains numerous properties for skin and health, which is why it is one of the most natural ingredients in creams and cosmetics, but do you really know when and why to use it? We tell you all about the properties of aloe vera for skin and health in general, so that get the most out of its benefits.
To know the properties of aloe vera it is first necessary to know its composition. Aloe vera juice contains high percentages of vitamins C and E and two powerful natural antioxidants. In addition, it is composed of enzymes, essential and non-essential amino acids and trace elements necessary to reassemble the cellular structures of our body.

These are the most important properties and benefits of aloe vera:

Benefits for the skin

Aloe vera is mainly used to soothe the skin and these are all its properties for the skin:

Moisturizing: its nutritional ingredients help to keep the water in the layers of the skin, leaving it hydrated for a long time and in a natural way. It is possible to obtain cosmetics enriched with aloe vera or directly apply the gel that is extracted from the leaves on the skin.

cell regeneration: thanks to the collagen and elastin content in aloe vera gel its regenerative properties are better than many of the drugs available in pharmacies. Aloe vera-enriched stretch mark gels or creams are ideal for reducing scars, burns and healing sun or skin marks after some aggressive treatment, such as laser removal.

Antibacterial: Aloe is a powerful natural antiseptic and antibacterial. How can you take advantage of this property on your skin? It is very effective in eliminating excess acne, as it will eliminate the bacteria that infect pores and cause pimples.

Benefits for the hair

Thanks to the moisturizing and nourishing properties of aloe vera it is an excellent complement to the health of our hair. Even on the tips most damaged by the heat of the hair, irons or chemical dyes, nourish the scalp, leaving it moisturized and avoiding flaking causing problems such as dandruff.

In addition, by cleaning the deeper dirt from the pores, it promotes the growth of healthy and strong hair. You can apply aloe vera gel directly to your hair, but it will make it very greasy and you will need to wash it right after. We advise you to opt for specific shampoos, enriched with aloe gel, which will give you excellent results. This one, from Urtekram is our favorite due to its composition of natural ingredients.

Dental products

It will also help you heal annoying and painful ulcers that appear on the gum, for example when we have low defenses. Unsurprisingly, more and more toothpastes incorporate this ingredient, our favorite being Dr Organics, a soothing and whitening toothpaste that restores the gums while leaving your teeth clean and protected and your mouth fresh.

For inner well-being

Aloe vera not only has properties to protect us from the outside, but its health benefits are innumerable. Aloe vera juice facilitates digestion and cleanses the digestive system. Moreover, thanks to its antibacterial properties, it eliminates part of the pathogenic bacteria present in our intestine, favoring their balance.
