| Author | Topic: Aloe Vera for the skin |
| Roy 03-17-2003 01:59 AM | I recently got bottles of aloe vera extract. Its supposed to be good quality stuff. Its supposed to be for drinking, but i wonder if it would be good for my skin. Also, would this be benificial to drink regarding acne? Would puting it on my skin to heal scars only speed up the p[rocess, and make my skin not do the best job? Should i let scars heal naturally. Also, is it not wise to try and heal your scars while you have acne? |

| Wai 04-03-2003 01:24 PM | quote:back then i was only referring to those zits in which the whitehead is totally on top of the zit, and the only thing that keeps the pus from flowing outside is a very thin layer of skin. In this case it may be helpful to only puncture that thin top-layer of skin, so that the zit can be drained very easily, without having to use real pressure. and i was actually answering this specific question: quote:and i was under the impression that he was wondering about using some topical treatment, which is unwise as long as the skin is inflammated (as in acne) |
