Aloe Vera : True or a Myth?
We have all heard of how aloe vera can help our skin. How it can get rid of scars, make it look healthier and shinier. There are many benefits we have all heard about it but are they true?
What is Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a succulent plant and it originates from the Arabian Peninsula. These plants grow in tropical, semi-tropical, and arid climates all around the world. They are typically cultivated for medical and agricultural uses. Even though these plants are known to grow outdoors, they can successfully be grown indoors as a pot plant and can be used for many decorative purposes.
Nowadays, these plants are used in many products such as skin lotions, cosmetics, ointments for burns, and even beverages. People have been using these products for their everyday uses to better their skin and their body.
As shown in the picture, these succulents have some thick green leaves. They can grow up being 24-39 inches tall. When these green leaves are cut open, a clear gel is visible. This clear gel is what is used in the products listed above.
Benefits of Aloe Vera
Like mentioned, Aloe Vera is known to have many benefits. These benefits are not just for the skin but also for the body as well. The following are some of the benefits of using aloe vera
o Contains antioxidant and antibacterial properties
o Accelerate the healing of burns
o Reduces acne scars
o Improve skin and prevent wrinkles
o Lowers blood sugar levels
Mentioned above are just some of the benefits of using this product. Aloe Vera is known to be extremely helpful and isn’t
even helpful
Helpful for scarring?
Now to the million-dollar question, Can Aloe Vera help with acne scars? Many people have recommended using Aloe Vera as an alternative use of any of those harmful chemicals used to get of scarring.
Since acne scars are like burn marks in a way where they can scar your skin, people believe that aloe vera can help with the scarring and reduce it. It would take time since it is a very natural ingredient, but who knows what the results could be?
This is what I have decided that I will accept this challenge and see if Aloe Vera can help the scarring. Since junior year in high school, I have been experiencing acne and because of that, I have had terrible scarring. I have some old ones and some new ones all on my cheek. These scars have made me feel really insecure about myself. I have tried every single acne or scarring product I could get my hands on, but none of them have helped. I have always heard that if you are patient with Aloe Vera, apply it on your face once every day, then you can begin to notice a difference. That is exactly what I’m going to do. Starting today, I will be doing the Aloe Vera challenge and see if it can reduce my scarring.
This is what my scarring looks like at the moment. I will be using the Aloe Vera every day and share my progress.
