Indispensable moisturizer
Aloe is a wonderful moisturizer, it improves blood circulation, has anti-inflammatory effects, eliminates irritation and stimulates the regeneration of skin cells.
In addition, aloe preparations have a cleansing and refreshing effect. In cosmetics, aloe provides versatile care for all skin types: moisturizes dry and normal skin, softens and protects it, soothes sensitive, removes tension, but also increases the elasticity of withered skin and revives it. It also cleanses oily and problematic, deodorizes, removes inflammation, treats acne.
Masks that contain aloe juice moisturize the skin, soften it, tone it and have anti-inflammatory effects.
Preparations derived from biostimulated leaf juice have particularly valuable properties. To obtain such a juice, the plant is not watered for 2 weeks and this increases the concentration of nutrients in it.
After two weeks, the most fleshy lower leaves are cut off, rinsed with boiled water and placed in a dark and cool place (for example in the lower part of the refrigerator) at a temperature of 4-8 ° C for a few days (usually 10-12).
Under these conditions, they ferment and form special substances - biological stimulants that stimulate the attenuating function of cells and thus prevent the formation of wrinkles.
Aloe leaf juice prepared in this way also contains biostimulants. Fermented leaves or juice have a tonic, refreshing, soothing and softening effect on the skin, accelerate its regeneration and the formation of new cells, are suitable for all skin types, including dilated capillaries.
