Research is still ongoing within the cosmetic industry indicates that the gel increases production of fibroblasts (cells in the dermis responsible for producing collagen, which keeps skin firm and supple).
As we age, fibroblasts slow their collagen production, so the skin wrinkles more rapidly. Because Aloe Vera accelerates collagen production, facial lines become less pronounced.
Aloe Vera is especially effective as a moisturizer because it carries nutrients and moisture down through all layers of the skin. It has moisture-binding properties and therefore it protects the skin from moisture loss.
Since it is nonallergenic and antibiotic, Aloe Vera is recommended for sensitive and problem skins. It is also reputed to remove age spots. It is always worth trying Aloe Vera gel on some skin disorders, because it is natural antiseptic, antibiotic and bactericide, the gel will prevent the spread of infection. It also promotes rapid cell regeneration, helping blemishes to heal without scarring.
Scars from chickenpox and shingles can be minimized by applying Aloe Vera gel, and it can also help during the actual attack, cooling the associated heat and reducing itching.
Internal use of the juice will also help treat the skin.
