I write about acne so much on this blog, but with good reason. My skin has had its highs and lows, but during the lows, aloe vera always saves the day.
Why is aloe vera so great for skin, you may ask. Aloe Vera contains a combination of minerals and vitamins including vitamins A, C, E and B-12. It also has essential proteins and fatty acids, calcium, zinc, magnesium and germanium.
Here's how I used this awesome plant on my skin:
1. After washing my face at night, I apply Dickinson's witch hazel. This toner is everything! I heard about it for years but didn't think I would be able to find it in Canada. I found it in the pharmacy aisle at Walmart.
2. After the witch hazel dries, I would cut a bit off the plant, slice it open, apply the gel and leave it on my face overnight.
That's it. My skin cleared up pretty fast and I haven't had breakouts since although I stopped using aloe vera.
