Aloe Aloe
Aloe vera gel is a wonderful thing. I started using the pure aloe vera gel (no color added) after my moisturizer a few weeks ago. The cold weather was drying out my skin even with the moisturizer, and there's few things I hate more than the feel of dry skin. I don't know how people live without moisturizing daily. If I even skip a day, I feel all itchy. And my skin isn't really dry; not compared to some. It just feels that way to me.
So I was reading the back of the bottle, and came across a section where it suggested other uses you might make of the aloe vera gel. As a blemish gel. As a hair styling gel. I was somewhat skeptical. Aloe vera would help with blemishes? And it wouldn't make your hair greasy? But lo and behold, the few breakouts I would get on my back cleared up after regular use of the gel. It was fantastic.
I figured that if the blemish gel part were true, maybe it would be beneficial as a hair gel. Well, it doesn't have any style hold value, but it does help to condition the hair without making it greasy.
I wonder what other uses it might have?

I use tea tree oil for blemishes, and it just zaps them. Yes, at (mumblemumble) years old I still get them. I also put some in every bottle of shampoo, and it's great for itchy scalps. It is not a moisturizer, however. I read that it used to be included in Australian soldiers' kit bags for use as a topical antibiotic. It smells nicer if you get it mixed with lavender oil. The only product I've ever had success with for the cracks on my fingers is "Working Hands."

Well, you can drink Aloe Vera juice and it is supposed to cure ulcers (non-bacterial ones) and other forms of stomach issues.
Some drink it for other reasons, too.
