Aloe Vera Facial Gel
Every woman anyway worries about their appearance. A healthy and beautiful skin plays an important role, especially when it comes to the face, which is always the first to attract attention. Surprisingly, even hundreds of years ago, the fair sex managed to take care of themselves without having such a variety of cosmetics that we can see these days.
The main secret of such natural beauty is natural remedies and components that saturate our skin with all the necessary vitamins and microelements.
One of the most unusual options for natural cosmetics was a plant called aloe vera.
Features of the plant
Even if you have not had to deal with issues of cosmetology before, then at least once you’ve probably heard of aloe vera. And the thing is that this unusual flower has a lot of useful qualities.
Aloe Vera resembles a cactus in its appearance, since the pointed, fleshy appendix leaves are covered on the sides with small needles. They are not as sharp as those of cacti, and in general, aloe vera has nothing to do with them. It looks more like a small bush, on which several elongated processes of yellow or bright red color appear during the flowering period.
Interesting is that this unusual plant has the ability to survive in dry and hot conditions., even where there is not a drop of water. At the same time, the aloe leaves themselves are saturated with moisture and special juice, which is of the greatest interest to pharmacists and cosmetologists.
Scarlet was transported across different continents several hundred years ago. Now anyone can grow it at home in a pot on the windowsill. And this means that to use cosmetics containing aloe juice you do not have to waste time searching for it!
