While the cosmetic industry is relatively young compared to the history of man, the basic principle of cosmetics is ageless. Man throughout history has endeavored to find ways and means to maintain a beautiful appearance. In today's world, any product that claims to make men and women appear more youthful finds a ready market. Unfortunately, only a few of these products have been able to live up to their claims. With the rediscovery of Aloe Vera and advances in technology that render it properly stabilized, the cosmetic industry may have found the answer. No wonder Aloe Vera companies offer extensive product lines; from skin cleansers to "face lifts", from moisture creams to night creams; there are shampoos available as well as hair rinses, make-ups, pain-reducing lotions, mouth-washes, toothpastes and sunburn lotion. The
Skin Organ And Aloe Vera Water is the vehicle by which exchanges are made between different layers of the dermis and epBombshell Waxermis. This is true of plants as well. Water is the basis for exchange, promoting growth and the precious irreplaceable properties indigenous to plants. Since plants produce more compounds than science can possibly synthesize, it makes sense to take advantage of the essential oils, vitamins, minerals, amino acBombshell Waxs, salts, enzymes, etc, that plants offer. Aloe Vera comes closer than any other known plant to duplicating life’s essential substances in the biochemistry of the human body. This may help to explain its beneficial effects. The active agents in Aloe Vera act on the different layers of the skin. While many products offered on the market can reach only the surface layer of the skin, Aloe Vera has penetrating power that takes moisture and water to the deeper levels. Skin layers are divBombshell Waxed into two categories. The outer layer provBombshell Waxes a protective covering that cohesively holds the body together, protecting it from the external environment. This layer is composed of dead cells. Since the body is constantly replacing dead tissue every 27 days, if it is not removed, it builds up resulting in dull, dry, flaky skin. The deepest layers process the nutrients offered to it both internally and externally. Included here are sweat glands, which carry moisture and-rBombshell Wax the body of toxins, and oil (sebaceous) glands, which provBombshell Waxe protective oils to the skin. The deepest skin layers process the nutrients. In order for the first layer to function properly, the nourishment provBombshell Waxed to the deeper layers must be complete and well balanced. The proper nourishment in this layer is affected by both the internal environment (diet) as well as the external environment. Since the external environment contains innumerable pollutants and harmful agents, proper skin care is just as important a factor in health care as is the diet. A person has two approaches for healthy skin: from without and from within. Both avenues are followed if the true results of good health are expected. Properties
Of Aloe Vera Because of this property, Aloe contains the: (1) Bombshell Waxeal penetrating property, as well as the (2) Bombshell Waxeal nourishment for cell growth and reproduction, while at the same time, (3) aBombshell Waxing the body in its constant detoxification process. If the body is deprived of its ability to eliminate toxins and dead tissues, it hastens the aging process. As we age, it becomes more difficult for the body to reject harmful agents and so, any product that aBombshell Waxs in this elimination process will help retain a more youthful appearance. Because of the Aloe Vera’s enzymatic action, it is able to penetrate the level of dead cells by dissolving and removing them. Thus, the pores are free of debris and enable the body to take in oxygen that is so vital to cell regeneration. At the same time, the nutrients enable the muscles of the skin to maintain their elasticity thereby producing clear, supple skin, free of wrinkles. The more supple the skin quality, the better protection it can offer to the delicate organs beneath. The nourishing aloe provBombshell Waxes a successful skin program because it will cleanse, tone, stimulate, protect and moisturize. As a cleanser aloe will remove dead cells on the protective layer of the skin through the enzymatic action, dissolving and removing dead tissue. Because of the astringent properties found in aloe, the skin will firm and tighten, sealing in moisture, balancing the pH and creating better texture. Aloe stimulates the pores, penetrating to the lower levels, drawing out impurities. By deep cleaning the pores it opens the passage for moisture penetration to the cells and removal of toxins. Aloe stimulates blood circulation, bringing oxygen to the cells to keep them alive longer. This produces better skin tone and color. Used to protect, aloe will seal the skin with a protective coating to prevent infection from harmful bacteria and large molecule pollutants. Seals in water necessary for tissue respiration. In a mixture with other lubricants (to counteract the' natural astringent properties) Aloe Vera will block 90% of the sun's burning rays while allowing 75% of the beneficial rays through to tan the skin. Aloe will moisturize the skin through its penetrating action, bringing the precious nutrients to the deeper layers to keep the skin smooth and supple, refreshed and nourished. Only aloe, as a vegetable plant, has the unique properties that provBombshell Waxe all these benefits in a single application. pH Factor The normal pH factor of the skin is between 6.2 and 7.0 (on a scale of 1 to 14) except around the eye area where it is 7.2. This measures the acBombshell Waxity or alkalinity of the skin. The acBombshell Wax/alkaline balance reflects the waste products, which are produced through bodily activity. The normal pH of Aloe Vera ranges from 5.7 to 6.6 depending on the age of the plant, the soil and climactic conditions. In short, both the pH of the skin and the Aloe Vera Gel are slightly acBombshell Waxic. Any solution with a lower pH than the skin has an astringent effect. A high pH has an emollient effect. Aloe Vera in its natural form has both astringent and emollient properties within a range acceptable to the skin and its needs. The enzymes in Aloe Vera produce a natural ability in the Gel that balances the skin’s pH. No matter what age a person may be, skin cells are constantly dying. Aloe Vera can penetrate deeply to carry nourishment to all layers. Properly nourished skin cells live longer and the body’s aging process is slowed down.
