I've been having quite a few issues with my skin lately, particularly the skin on my face. With the Atlanta seasons going from one extreme to the other, my face is completely OVER IT!
I've been searching for ways to help treat my problem areas and these two items have continued to surface during my hunt for the right products
Aloe Vera Leaf | Indian Healing Clay
Uses for aloe vera on skin:
1. Anti-inflammatory & Healing
Being that it contains minerals & anti-oxidants that help speed up the process of healing, the gel can be used to cool or calm the skin after instances such as cuts, wounds, burns (including sun burn), or even tender pimples.
2. Moisturizer
The consistency of the gel provides a protective layer that helps retain the skins moisture without clogging the pores.
3. Reduce Acne
The same properties in aloe that protect & aid in the healing of the skin after injury are the same properties that protect the skin from bacteria that causes acne and of course reduces redness and inflammation from pimples. This can also be used as an astringent which helps reduce the size of pores, helping to keep out dirt.
4. Natural Lightener (for blemishes/stretch marks)
Aloe vera also stimulates new cell growth which helps in treating dark spots, age spots or acne scars and stretch marks too. (just add lemon)
I'll be updating on my routine, the progress I've made (if any at all), and then my overall thoughts and how often I use the clay mask
I'll admit, I don't have absolutely terrible skin. For each person their own insecurities are measured by their own level of confidence. What's a big issue for me, won't be the same for the next person and that's okay! The few dark spots that I have, sometimes feel like a million dark spots covering my entire face. We're all a little extra at one point or another, 'specially when it's our face. Over the past year, Ive had more breakouts than I care to count and I can't exactly put my finger on why this is happening.
At this point I'll try just about anything.
