Aloe vera is a real beauty phenomenon. So many beauty companies love to use it in their skin and hair treatments because it’s a miracle ingredient. Use of this “miracle plant” goes back to Egyptian times. Here are some great benefits to consider.
1. No more nail biting
There is nothing more unattractive than a woman with nibbled off fingernails. If you are a nail biter, or even have a kid who needs to kick this bad and unsanitary habit (eek!), try slathering some aloe vera gel across your hands. The moisturizing properties will be great for your nails and cuticles, but the taste will be sure to keep those helpless fingers out of your mouth!
2. Dandruff treatment
Got flakes? Try mixing up your very own dandruff treatment. Take your regular shampoo and mix in (1:1 ratio) of aloe vera juice. Rub through your hair and try to concentrate specifically on the scalp. Let this mixture sit on your head for about 20-30 minutes for best results. TADA! No more itchy, dry scalp.
3. Shaving cream
Out of your fancy shaving cream? Try grabbing some aloe vera gel. It’s great for hydrating and soothing skin, and it’s thick enough to easily glide a razor over the skin.
4. Stretch marks
