Healing your skin with Aloe Vera Extract
In clinical studies the extract from the aloe leaf has been shown to promote skin regeneration and provide protection from environmental factors. Since aloe vera has these positive effects on wound healing while simultaneously holding anti-inflammatory properties, it can be used to prevent and treat stretchmarks. Stretch marks actually begin as microscopic tears in the skin layers caused by an overstretching of the dermis. At these early stages of stretch mark development the use of aloe vera helps to heal those small wounds while preventing new microscopic tears. For thousands of years, the Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, Romans, Arabs and Chinese have been using aloe vera to heal and moisturize the skin and also to decrease the appearance of scars.
