    Hey sweetbery

    i was surfin on some beauty websites....and i bumped into this...
    thought u might be interested!

    " *Use the sap/gel from a fresh cut aloe leaf & apply to clean face as a face mask. Leave on until the aloe has dried, 5-10 minutes. Rinse face with warm water. This will help to soften, and gently smooth out fine lines leaving you with supple glowing skin.

    *Aloe is also a great hair conditioner. Apply a generous amount to clean towel dried hair, massage in well through all of your hair, keep on for 5-15 minutes, rinse well with warm water. You may also elect to use a mild shampoo following this treatment, it is not necessary, but an option.

    *Aloe is known for taking the sting out of sunburns and assists in the skins healing process. During the summer months, it's a good idea to keep some Aloe leaves in a zip-lock bag in the refrigerator. This helps retain it's freshness and the coolness of the Aloe is very soothing on sunburns. Of course, the trick is, to take precautions and not get burned in the first place, but if so , don't forget the Aloe!
    *Aloe is also great for minor Kitchen burns, skin rashes-including poison oak & ivy and insect bites."

    I've really only tried an aloe vera drink and I think my pimples did get better.
    But where can I find an actual aloe vera plant? o_o

    my family grows aloe vera plants. my face doesnt react very well to it, so instead i drink aloe. not the premade aloe drinks, but i take some aloe, put it in a blender, and add it to whatever juices im drinking. its good.

    ^ I think natural state of aloe is way better than the ones chemically processed.
