Yes Infact Aloe vera is best cure for skin treatment
Lovely photo. I have an aloe vera plant on my porch.
I do not know what happened even before finishing my comment it closed. Yes as I was saying I was a distributor for this company a few years ago and therefore had to mug a lot of information on their products based on aloe vera. Their products are expensive but one can always have plants in their garden. I have a few.
I was distributing aloe vera based products for Forever Living Products a US company. I joined their MLM
Awesome photo and great info.
We use aloe to prevent sunburn after a day at the beach.
We’re so lucky, to have them growing wild here in South-Africa. The juice is wonderful for sunburn as the pain disappears almost immediately. Thank you for commenting Artbytes26
I use aloe mostly for burns on my skin. Beautiful photo.
So remember when you use it next, where it came from. I sent the pic for you, the sunset/sunrise doyen, which is the most respected, prominent person in a particular field. Lol.
How kind, this is a breathtaking photo Andre. I will always remember it and the aloe story.
I have aloe vera in my garden and it looks different from that in the picture.
They could vary vastly Alex, and have healing properties but the one in the pic. is the True or real Aloe Vera “genus”. All other aloes are referred to as aloe Ferox “species”.
