Aloe in facial cosmetology

Time-tested natural cosmetics made from simple ingredients are in demand among women around the world. For the most part, such home remedies act on the skin no worse than expensive branded cosmetics. If the effect is the same, why pay extra for colorful boxes and television advertising?

Many people actively use aloe juice at home for the face against wrinkles and folds. It can also be used to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin. Let's figure out what the miraculous power of the plant is, and how to direct it in the direction we need with the help of simple recipes.

We look at the root, or rather at the leaves

Do not rush to glance at a possible test subject standing on the windowsill. You should first make sure that your option is suitable. The fact is that there are several types of plants. Two of them have the greatest range of healing qualities: tree aloe, which is also called agave, and aloe vera (Latin name - Aloe barbadensis).

For outdoor use at home, the first – tree-like option – is best suited. And if you have just such a copy on your window, please accept our congratulations!

Anti-age medicine is the plant juice hidden in the leaves: it is an indispensable natural remedy for aging and dry skin, which effectively affects wrinkles and other signs of aging. In addition to cosmetology, the juice is also used in medicine against eczema, pyoderma, psoriasis and the treatment of other skin diseases.

It contains a whole arsenal of substances: natural minerals, vitamins A, groups B, C and E, folic and acetylsalicylic acids, bioflavonoids, enzymes, allantoin and pectins.

Let's take a closer look at the medicinal properties and understand exactly how aloe helps against wrinkles around the eyes, bags and bruises:

Effect Impact
Smoothing and firmness By promoting the production of collagen and elastin, aloe cosmetics rejuvenate, maintain skin elasticity, delay the appearance of new wrinkles and make existing ones less pronounced.
Moisturizing and regeneration The juice of the plant helps deliver beneficial components to the deeper layers of the dermis, which leads to the restoration of hydrolipid balance and healing through faster renewal of damaged tissues.
Free Radical Protection The natural UV filters contained in the plant help protect the dermis from the aging effects of free radicals that the sun's rays bombard us with.
Cleansing Agave will become indispensable for women with problem skin: the juice eliminates excess oil, cleanses the face, and visually smoothes enlarged pores.
Antiseptic The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of aloe have long been proven. It perfectly relieves allergic reactions, redness, disinfects the epithelium, and copes with burns.

Use of agave for cosmetic purposes

There are plenty of ways to use aloe juice for the face against wrinkles and aging skin. Usually simple masks are prepared with aloe vera, night compresses, tonics and nourishing creams based on it, but it can be applied in its pure form.

As additional ingredients for cooking, they use products that can be found in the kitchen of any housewife: honey, sour cream, eggs, cucumbers, etc.

Can be used on all areas of the face, even around the eyes. This frees up the hands of lovers of home anti-aging cosmetology who are worried about the safety of the delicate areas of the face.

Reviews from cosmetologists indicate that there are no restrictions on the period of use of aloe juice for the face against wrinkles, but professionals recommend adhering to the following scheme: a 10-day course, then a time-out for exactly a month so that the skin does not get used to it.

Aloe against wrinkles is used in diluted or concentrated form.

Precautionary measures

When used externally for cosmetic purposes, the medicinal plant does not have any specific contraindications. There is only one caveat: you will need to make sure that you do not have an individual intolerance to aloe or aspirin.

In general, an allergic reaction to aloe vera is very rare. But God protects those who are careful, so check the reaction first - use a small drop of pure juice on an inconspicuous area of ​​skin. Rinse it off immediately if itching or redness occurs. If you do not feel any discomfort within 30 minutes, you can use it.

While waiting for the effect of the mask, those with sensitive skin may feel a tingling or slight burning sensation. You should immediately wash off the product from your face, treat it with cream and next time reduce the waiting time for the effect of the mask.

By the way, if you are also thinking about taking aloe internally, then there are already a number of contraindications, do not forget to read them!

Where can I get juice?

Quick and easy - go to the pharmacy

It is not at all necessary to grow agave at home; you can purchase its juice at an affordable price at your nearest pharmacy. The medicinal value of the pharmacy version is identical to homemade preparations.

You can find 4 release forms:

  1. packs of ampoules of 1 ml;
  2. glass bottles of 50 and 100 g;
  3. liniment (liquid ointment);
  4. tablets - this is not suitable for us, because... they are intended for oral administration.

Ampoules are most often used to smooth the skin. They are convenient in terms of dosing, storage and time saving. “Industrial” aloe juice for wrinkles is usually produced in the form of an extract. You will need less of it - don’t forget to dilute it.

It’s fun and time-consuming to make your own juice

This is easy to do, but let us warn you right away that it will take time! You will need aloe to be at least three years old, since only an adult plant has the required concentration of substances with medicinal properties. Most of the pulp is contained in the wide leaves of the Barbadensis variety.

Step by step instructions for preparing aloe vera juice for skin:

  1. 7-14 days before pruning, stop watering the plant;
  2. cut off the lower wrinkled leaves of the plant near the trunk (they contain the most vitamin-rich liquid);
  3. Rinse cut leaves with water;
  4. dry the leaves on a towel until moisture completely disappears from the surface (this will take at least half an hour);
  5. wrap the leaves in foil or thick paper and place them in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks - this is done to activate them (in an unfavorable environment, the production of biostimulants begins);
  6. remove the leaves from the refrigerator, cut off the skin, grind the gel they contain with a knife or blender and place in a glass container;
  7. dilute the resulting mass (3 parts water to 1 part juice);
  8. let it brew for 120 minutes;
  9. pass through gauze or a strainer - aloe juice for wrinkles is ready!

Storage tips

Everything is clear with ampoules and vials - there are instructions in the package. But with juice prepared at home, you will need to adhere to the following rules:

  1. try to use the resulting liquid immediately;
  2. in the refrigerator at normal temperature, aloe is stored without loss of properties for no more than 2 weeks;
  3. cosmetologists recommend using dark glass containers - the absence of light has a beneficial effect on the composition;
  4. to increase shelf life in the refrigerator, you can dilute it with alcohol in a ratio of 4:1, but remember that alcohol has a tannic (drying) effect on the skin, which will somewhat conceal the effect of the product;
  5. ice molds are well suited for long-term storage - you can pour the juice into them and put them in the freezer, but keep in mind that the beneficial properties will decrease after defrosting;
  6. protect the mixture from bacteria: the consistency, color and smell should remain unchanged.

In what form to use aloe juice for the face against wrinkles is up to you. Some people prefer to cook with their own hands, while others prefer to buy a preparation and immediately begin the procedures. One thing is for sure - this natural doctor will become your reliable assistant in the fight against skin aging.

Taking care of the skin around the eyes

The orbital area is characterized by increased sensitivity and tenderness, since the skin here is thinner than in other areas of the face. Moreover, the skin around the eyes is less protected from the negative effects of the external environment due to insufficient activity of the sebaceous glands in this area.

We regularly strain the skin around our eyes when we blink and squint. As a result, due to excess emotions and frequent work in front of a screen, the skin in the corners of the eyes stretches and loses tone - “crow’s feet” appear. Edema, swelling and pouches often form.

Using aloe for wrinkles under the eyes and other signs of skin aging will allow you to achieve a more even, matte skin color, and thanks to lifting, you can also reduce bruises. Success in getting rid of wrinkles is largely determined by how mature your skin is. In any case, you are guaranteed to smooth out wrinkles for a short period of time: the effect will last for several hours, which will be enough to go out into the world.
