Aloe vera removes the dead skin cells, improves the elasticity of the skin and makes it smoother and supple, thus preventing the early signs of ageing.
It stimulates the growth of new cells, fastens the healing process and prevents the appearance of scars. It can also be used to treat small cuts, bruises and insect bites.
Better Than All The Hair Spas
Aloe vera works as the best hair care treatment as well. It can be used with hair packs, mixed in oil, applied or rubbed on to the hair scalp in the form of juice or just raw.
The best benefit of aloe vera is that it maintains the pH value of your scalp, thus keeping the scalp moisturised and well conditioned. It promotes hair growth, conditions the hair, removes the dead skin cells and also eliminates dandruff.
