Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) is a non-grass herb plant best known for its healing properties. Traditionally used topically to heal wounds and other skin conditions i.e burns or eczema, etc. It can also be used as a laxative but I'd rather Dulcolax. Your bodies response once ingested could be very uncomfortable and unpredictable.

Aloe Vera is found in hundreds of skin care products, lotions, cosmetics, skin cleansers and more. Aloe Vera has a great cooling effect to aid in soothing skin. Great for sun burns! In addition, it can moisturize and help the skin regenerate. So if your skin is feeling dehydrated, dry, itchy, or deflated, aloe is wonderful for that.

Using brown sugar helps exfoliate the outer most layer of the skin naturally. Is a great source of B vitamin (antioxidant) from the molasses which could possibly help in repairing the sun damage to your skin known as Photo-aging. An additional benefit is that it is super affordable.

Lemon is a great natural skin lightener and brightener. As well as a good source of Vitamin C. It can gently exfoliate skin as an acid alone but is often mixed with other ingredients. Can fade wrinkles and age spots.

Try the mask, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

As always, Be Blessed, Be Healthy and Be Beautiful!

Skin Tags, a High-Glycemic Diet and Radiosurgery

Here is a link to a good article on Skin tags (Acrochordon) and new developments providing a possible answer to why some people get them.

From experience, I have had my skin tags removed but I still continue to get them. The link to sugar is possible as diabetes runs in my family. And those that had diabetes had skin tags.

The removal wasn't painful, just a quick sting in some spots. Healing time is a couple of days with an ointment, like bacitracin, to help prevent infection.

Check out the article and speak to your skin care specialist or dermatologist for advice on analysis and removal options.
