There are many causes of skin inflammation, including allergic reactions, extreme weather conditions, stress, sun exposure and bacterial and viral infections. A common treatment for dermatitis is 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, but a study in the 2008 issue of "Skin Pharmacology and Physiology," conducted at University Medical Center in Freiburg, Germany, found that aloe vera gel exhibited greater anti-inflammatory benefits to inflamed skin than hydrocortisone cream.

Collagen and hyaluronic acid are both underlying components that are necessary for healthy skin, and when they are deficient, skin begins to sag and wrinkle. In a study conducted at Fujian Medical University in China, researchers tested aloe vera's effects on human skin cells in a test tube. The results, published in the "Journal of Chinese Integrative Medicine," show that aloe vera increases both the synthesis of collagen and the production of hyaluronic acid in skin. This cell rejuvenating benefit is what makes aloe vera recommended for acne scarring, as well as wound healing.

Suitable for all skin types, aloe vera gel can be used even by people with sensitive skin.
Let`s take a look at the benefits of using aloe vera gel to treat skin conditions.

Aloe is moisturizing but doesn`t give skin a greasy feel, so it`s perfect for anyone with an oily complexion.
3. Aloe vera can be used to treat sunburn.
Aloe vera gel can reduce the pain and swelling you experience during sunburn. It acts as a protective layer on the skin and helps replenish its moisture. When the skin is hydrated, then it will recover faster from the sunburn.
4. Aloe vera helps fight common problems of skin aging.
Let`s face it: as we get older, everyone begins to worry about the appearance of lines and the loss of elasticity in our skin. The vitamin C and E present in aloe gel can improve our skin`s natural firmness and keep our skin hydrated.
5. Aloe vera gel is great for moisturizing.
For women: Popularly used as a moisturizer by women who use mineral make-up regularly, aloe vera gel is great for face. Applying aloe vera gel on skin prior to application of make-up can prevent the skin from drying.

Natural Beauty With Honey

Natural Beauty
NATURAL BEAUTY._Honey is one of the best natural ingredients used in cosmetic products. It contains vitamins, minerals, and has amazing natural antioxidant and anti-microbial properties. When applied to the skin, it acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the surface of the skin. Recent studies also suggest that honey boosts the skin's cell renewal process. Its benefits for skin and hair have long been known since ancient times.
Aside from having good skin care regimen, one of the factors that greatly affect the health of the skin is food. Since the nutrients from a wide variety of foods are ready to be absorbed by the body, it is a must that people are very particular about the type of foods their bodies need.
Aside from antioxidants, honey is a rich source anti-bacterial property which helps the body develop strong immune system. If a person is immune to many stressors that contribute to early aging, he or she can maintain his or her overall health and beauty.
Research from the American Journal of Clinical Dermatology shows that honey can be used to dress wounds and burns due to its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. In a study comparing a popular antibacterial drug and honey for wound healing, Indian researchers concluded that the beneficial effects of honey decreased healing time and reduced scarring in first- and second-degree burn patients.
Professor Peter Molan, a scientist from the Honey Research Unit at the University of Waikato, claims that all honey contains hydrogen peroxide at varying concentrations due to a specific enzyme that bees add to the honey. Hydrogen peroxide is a potent anti-microbial. Daily use not only minimizes the appearance of blemishes, but also prevents the recurrence of acne lesions, the cause of skin blemishes.”
There are many ways to use honey for treating skin blemishes. Some home recipes use honey combined with essential oils, lemon juice or pureed fruit. You may also wish to use honey alone. In order for treatment to be effective, apply only a thin layer and leave the honey on the skin for a minimum of 15 minutes. A warm wash cloth can be used to remove the honey. To use honey as a spot treatment, apply a small dab of honey on the blemish and cover it with gauze or a small bandage before bed. The anti-inflammatory effects of the honey should reduce the blemish overnight. Skin blemishes do not always appear on the face. To treat blemishes located on the chest or back, add a cup of honey to a warm bath.

It slows down ageing
Fans say coconut water can promote smoother, more youthful-looking skin. They claim it's a natural source of cytokinins, a group of plant growth hormones that help regulate cell growth, development and ageing. Rich in  potassium, antioxidants and lauric acid, cytokinins are said to balance pH levels, strengthen and hydrate connective tissues and even reduce the risk of age-related diseases. Dab it onto skin and you may also reduce acne, cellulite, eczema, stretch marks, wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin.
Coconut water is the juice found within green, immature coconut fruit. It has been consumed by people in tropical locations for generations and is touted for its healing and medicinal properties, according to naturopathic doctor, Bruce Fife, N.D., of MyNuvia3.com. It is useful as a means to treat diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease because it is an effective vasodilator, improving circulation and reducing the occurrence of plaque formation in your arteries.
According to Fife, coconut water is a good source of plant hormones called cytokinins. These plant hormones may have an anti-aging effect on human cells, keeping them smooth, full and young-looking instead of becoming misshapen and sagging. When applied directly to your skin, cytokinins in coconut water may act on the connective tissue in your skin to keep its youthful elasticity, eliminating dry skin and age-related wrinkling. Even drinking coconut water can have an anti-aging effect on your body, including your skin, from the inside out.

Coconut water is rich in antioxidants, nutrients that help remove free radicals caused by outside stressors that may damage your skin, such as sun and pollution, says Vanderbilt University. Free radicals can also come from stressors within your body. One of the most common one is emotional stress, which also causes reduced blood flow to your skin, contributing to the aging process. There is conflicting evidence that consuming products high in antioxidants, such as coconut water, may contribute to improved skin health and vitality; however, their ability to remove damaging free radicals from your body is universally accepted.
