    Default fresh raw aloe leaves for skin

    so i've been reading an amazing skin book that's given me so much info ( like not to use creams with collagen and elastin as it dies when taken out of an animals/human and its molecules are too large to be absorbed in the skin..fun fact!) and how to pick the skin care with the best ingredients, skin care in general, etc..
    i read there ( among numerous other sources) one of the best things for your skin is aloe..i haven't been able to find any good aloe creams besides the nasty gel they sell for sunburns, but i bought two huge leaves of aloe at the store..i've been reading up on how to harvest the gel, use the gel, store it, etc..
    i almost want to buy my own aloe plant ! im still trying to read and learn more about it..but has anybody else used the gel in the raw leaves for skin care? i hear its also great for constipation. or has anyone bought an aloe gel without a lot of harsh chemicals or preservatives that worked well??

    In the islands it is used for all kinds of skin issues. Applied topically and even ingested. If you can find some in your area you should give it a try.

    No I haven't. It was used on me as a child when I had a burn from a curling iron on my leg, which is completely gone after using the aloe. No one in my family uses it regularly, but if you have a specific question I can pass it on to my Mom and see if she knows anything.

    oh thanks! i was just wondering , do you cut it open and put it on your face straight up, as a moisturizer? use it as a mask and rinse it off? and i've been refrigerating mine because i hear it keeps better, but the leaves once cut only last a week..? thanks so much!

    when i was young we had tons of aloe plants. my dad would put it on me when i had a burn or a sunburn. i don't remember if it would help (obviously it would or he wouldn't keep doing it- lol)- i just remember it being STICKY!

    one time i was watching my fav cam girl. i can't remember her exact name but it is sandra and she is on sm and lives in Canada. She eats a raw diet and I watched her cut out fleshy part of the plant and juice it. she was saying it is amazing for you. i have been meaning to try it!

    crap, i just read that fresh aloe leaves aren't as beneficial as perscription grade aloe and can actually irritate skin on the face really disappointed, i rubbed the gel all over my face tonight and it seemed to be working great!

    Fresh raw aloe vera is very beneficial for the skin healthy.
    It helps a lot to keep the skin healthy, fresh, and shiny.
    It also helps to prevent from various skin diseases i.e acne etc.
