Nature is perfect in its imperfection.
It only takes a walk or a hike to realize that no matter where you are in this world , nature will provide for itself and for all other creatures. This theory includes humans, this is why the good ol' wise Mother Nature created Aloe Vera. I do not want to sound obsessed but Aloe Vera is the elixir of life (ok,ok maybe not that much) but it truly is the best thing since chocolate. I'm not lying ladies!!
Aloe Vera is a succulent, which means is technically a cactus. It is no lilie, its ugly but so are the best things in life ugly in the outside but healing and beautiful in the inside( I had to! wouldn't you have said the same thing?:) . Here is the description:

Why i tell you this you ask? Aloe Vera has multiple curative properties. Have you seen my "big fat Greek wedding"? Remember the dad that sprayed Windex on everything? Well that was my great grandma with Aloe Vera. Do you have a burn? your hair is thinning? ulcers? etc No matter what, Grandma would prescribe aloe Vera. I, like a good granddaughter, ignored this wise counsil until about 4 days ago. I have suffered from acne since I graduated from high school ( rude , I know!) I'm not into the whole " the way i look " thing so I ignored it until it became painful. I tried everything, and with the help of an aesthetician and aloe Vera i can finally touch my face without pain. I cut a piece of the plant, cut it in half and apply the aloe directly to my face. If you have healthy skin, wash it off or apply lotion over it at night. Your face will be as soft as a baby bottom.
There are other people just as excited as me about this topic, here is a website that has some good research on it:
