My mother was a big believer in Aloe Vera. She kept a plant on hand for an accidental burn or stepping accidentally into bull nettle and it would instantly take the sting out. I’m so happy to hear u talking about Aloe. Your skin is perfect 💗

[@dreamlovermimi9458]

I use Aloe vera gel ( home grown Plant ) on my eczema and it is a game changer! When using raw aloe gel u have to let the yellow sap drain out! The clear jelly or gel is the prize of this succulent!

I know this is a big request, but would you consider doing a video on skincare and salicylate sensitivities?

I know you have a large audience and it could help many people struggling with sensitivity to salicylate 💜💜💜💜

I'm a frequent hand-washer, and the skin on my hands used to get really dry. I started applying aloe before my moisturizer, and now my hands look really healthy and feel wonderfully soft! So happy!

[@magnoliabranca5149]

Aloe is used in my country for centuries and centuries also in Africa and Brazil for burning, redness, acne and internally also for health issues. Monastery does the juice here that is known to treat cancer. My mom always had aloe cact and always used to for many skin issues. My neighbor from Mozambique used it to stop her child to breastfeed lol :) I love to hear your view as a doctor, for my very particular case I don’t do well with plants and essencial oils and I’m allergic to salicylate... all your suggestions (the ones I could find in 🇵🇹 ) saved my life. I had huge issues with fragrances and thanks to your videos I found that out also.

[@basiasolarz4327]

Thanks for helping me understand why this has been a problem ingredient for me. On a different note, I would appreciate hearing a review of shampoo and conditioner bars. I’m interested in these because they are more convenient for travel (since they are solid, not liquid) and also help reduce plastic consumption. I always appreciate your wise and well-informed perspective. Thanks!

[@usamaahmad6754]

Can you do a video about alcohols in skincare please 😀

[@tanon2703]

You can get high quality aloe Vera juice and gel from a health food store or organic grocer. It is usually sold in glass bottles of various sizes. You can freeze this in ice cube trays for sunburn. I also soak a cotton pad and use it on bug bites. This is usually pure with nothing else added to it. Keep it in the fridge once open. "Lily of the desert" is a good brand available in both Canada and the US (it's an American brand).

[@PenguinRiotChallenge]

Live by this stuff. Saves my skin constantly when I'm in a breakout. Drench my face in it every night! Do you find that it temporarily makes your face red and pulsate? Like when doing the Aztec clay mask? I know it's not bad reaction or anything, more like blood circulation.

[@tanon2703]

Julia I only use it sparingly so I don't experience it. You may be reacting to the aloe as described by Dr Dray. It may not be completely purified of various irritating compounds. Or as mentioned perhaps it is causing absorption of other compounds.

[@nonleopard]

I've started using aloe vera gel by mixing it and water in a spray bottle and spritzing it on my face right before I apply my moisturizer in order to lock the moisture in. I like this as a diy alternative to all those fragrancy face sprays you see now!

[@cwm5316]

Great video! I've never been into growing the aloe plants or using the gel from the drugstore but the idea of freezing it for a kitchen burn or maybe some very itchy mosquito bites seems very soothing. Happy Wednesday evening.

[@helenmorgan2587]

What a good idea freezing aloe vera gel in ice cube trays! I already keep shop bought aloe vera gel in the fridge for burns, but this sounds even better! Would also be good for rubbing over your face/body in the summer if the heat gets too much for you. Already looking forward to tomorrow's video.Happy Tuesday! 💕

[@ZhalyaAbiyeva]

Thank you for the information about aloe vera benefits. A few years ago I bought aloe vera gel. And I noticed that it has properties to smooth mimic wrinkles as though there were no ingredients in the product for achieving such aim. I wondered which ingredient gave this amazing result. When I researched on aloe vera benefits I found out that aloe vera stimulates fibroblast which produces collagen and elastin fibers making skin more elastic and less wrinkled. Aloe vera has the properties of regeneration of the fibroblast cells. I saw this on my skin instantly after applying aloe vera gel topically on my skin. It is an amazing ingredient which contains active components: Vitamins A (beta-carotene), C, E, B12, folic acid, Niacinamide, enzymes, minerals, sugars, fatty acids, aminoacids.

Thank you for this info. I have tried aloe vera from the plant and from the bottle on my broken capillaries on cheeks. I have also used cider vinegar on my sun spots. Yep, I could go on with my trials and tribulations. Dr. Oz pointed me in the direction of cider vinegar and aloe vera I did my own research on. Well, I'm now on Retin A, using Cerave in tub, thanks to you and regularly sunscreening (which one really needs doing Retin A, so I'm forcing my stubborn self now). I still use my Clinique and some other stand bys; but I find the Cerave in tub just right for the Tretinoin combo. As always thanks for your sharing of knowledge. All skin is unique to the person, I have to point out, that's the reality. But the median consensus is a very good indicator. Age, condition, and skin type are important factors. Love how you help all of us make executive informed decisions on our own skincare.

[@mariemaisonneuve813]

I use the aloe plant. The irritating substance is next to the leaf skin. When you cut the leaf you let the “latex" drain out. Then you rinse the "meat" of the plant with water. From this you can squeeze the gel or puree it. It can be kept in the fridge.

[@chrystianaw8256]

Exactly. If you cut out the latex and thoroughly rinse before use then it's very safe to apply to the skin. It's a very low risk ingredient compared to the actives that they put in skincare ingredients

[@TheInspirefly]

I used to use Fruit of the Earth and couldn't understand why it would sting sometimes or why I was breaking out....Until I learned that the tests showed it's got no aloe in it! Switched to Lily of the Desert (which actually SMELLS like aloe vera, unlike FooE, which just smelled weird) and I use it as a humectant with my other moisturizer, with no problems, thank goodness. I am happy to learn that this store-bought gelly is safe to continue using ❤️ thank you, doctor!

I got a botox treatment and some filler about a week ago. Being 70 years of age my skin bruised and took a while to heal. So a friend suggested I use the raw aloe gel from his plant on my face. What a transformation! I rubbed the aloe and pieces and juice of it had reduced the swelling and color of the bruising overnight. After about 4 days most of the needle, swelling and bruising effects have almost gone away. I highly recommend getting an aloe plant, slice it open and use the green gel on the face. My face smoothed out and it lightened and smoothed out my skin. Try it. It is amazing.

I love using fresh Aloe for everything. I get great results using it directly on my face. My pores look smaller, my age spots lighter and I have a light glow in my skin. I also use for any bug bites on myself or my dog. I relieves the itch. Also I use to make my hair softer. If I do not soak the aloe before using it I can feel irritation and itchiness.

[@adric5940]

If you use the plant one way to get rid of the ingredient that will irritate is by once you cut the plat put it in a cup of water and a yellow substance will come out. Leave it there about 5 minutes and replace the water 2 or 3 times until you see no more yellowish substance come out. This is how I always use aloe without it irritating my skin ,be it on face or cuts.

[@breid2254]

Aloe Vera gel is really good to treat burns. I accidentally poured hot water over my hand when draining pasta. I ran cold water over my hand but it was still on fire and was bright red. I had no burn spray and pharmacies were closed for the night. I remembered I had a tube of Aloe Vera gel. I slathered it all over my burned hand. It stung like crazy for about 5 minutes and then it was soothing. I applied several times before going to bed. It soothed the burning sensation and in the morning my hand was fine, no redness and no burning. It was great for my hand but not sure I would put it on my face.

Thank you for doing a video on aloe vera! Very informative. I like using aloe as a topical and especially in the summer when my back and shoulders may have had a bit too much sun. It is quite soothing. As a child my mom bought a bottle of 100% pure aloe. I’ve never seen it since my childhood. Everything now has additional ingredients so it’s not so pure. It was so pure it actually said on the container you could eat it. As a curious child I tried it once and it turned out I quite liked it. So I would periodically sample it. My mom eventually found out and needless to say she wasn’t impressed. The bottle disappeared after that.

It left my scalp so clear and I could not for the life of me work it out; now that you mention the S. Acid component, it is all starting to make sense to me.

i see that is on a site called la vie pure

[@amixeblu]

@@DrDrayzday, the ingredients are mentioned there too, but my bottle was *very* old when I got to finally using it, different packaging for sure, and mine had aloe at its very first ingredient, then aqua. For sure! It's odd how that changes; might not be as effective these days then. I have no idea. It's on biovita-shop.be too. I am no longer using it. I switched to regular harsh sulfates like Pantene and Herbal Essences to keep my scalp squeaky clean and it is working as I barely have to use the Nizoral 2% these past years (a few years ago I did).

Dr. Dray, I recently asked you an aloe question on another video. Thank you for answering in this video. I have never experienced irritation, but it may be due to how I prepare mine since I mix it in water and make an icy, diluted slurry with my aloe. One of my daughters did use it full strength on her eczema a few months ago and a small spot on her jawline was very irritated and she stopped using it on her skin.

The Etude House aloe gel is super!

Andrea, you have really helped me.. with your videos I have roceasea and until I came across your channel realized that mineral sunscreens were better for me since then I bought a ton! and everything seems to irritate or dry my face so much lately I been trying something with out success currently I am using the make p:rem spf 50++++ and the Botanical Sunscreen Face 50 Australian gold.. I have also tried the Murad spf 50++++ which seems to irritate my face.. I have also the colorscience face shield 50+++ they seem to bother me and make me get breakouts at this point..I am not sure if it's the other ingredients in the sunblock or moisturizer or what?? You are amazing and the only one that gives productive and useful information here.. Thanks so much!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us!! I'm a 3rd grade med student and love to hear from you about skincare informations :) I have a question I'd like to ask, so is a store-bought aloe vera gel (made up of 95% "aloe vera from leaf gel" for example) is safe? For example this product: Aloe Juice (Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice) (&95), Aqua/Water, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Ethylhexylglycerin. It says dermatologically tested

[@lauraaa3400]

Why does the skin feel EXTREMELY tight after putting on aloe vera? And does aloe vera have an anti aging effect? Thanks.

[@21972012145525]

I’ve noticed this as well

[@usuarios.164]

Can you do a video on hair secrets for men and women especially to promote hair growth and to prevent balding? Any remedies? Thanks!

[@m_a_r_a__]

Hi Dr Dray, great video, I always take notes and learn a lot. I found a product that claims to have 99% aloe vera leaf juice, is by the brand Holika Holika...it is possible to have that much concentration?

[@purplegum1383]

I want to know as well because i am thinking of buying it

[@rikivip]

Why don't you just make it yourself? no need to buy it and you'll get 100% concentration.

I have spotted aloe vera bowel cleanse in the supermarket was intrigued since I do suffer from constipation which is so annoying but it's my lazy dietary ways that cause it which I'm planning to change but still when I looked at it I had doubts whether it work or not but since you say it's effective I might give it a try sometime

[@fayecovarrubias]

HOW ABOUT THE ALOE VERA + SNAIL GEL a Korean Brand Luxe Organix recently released their Aloe + Snail Gel in one tub NOTICE ME DRA. ♥️😍

[@user-rh5fs5ji3k]

Idk what I did before you Dr Dray. You’re amazing 😻

[@chateau7]

I wonder if I could freeze CeraVe moisturizing cream in a cube form and use that for a burn instead! Thank you for gently and astutely guiding me along on the - seemingly - endless topics around skincare.

[@barbilove1698]

Regarding burns 😪 is this a valid thing to do - or wrong? It seems to have helped with little kitchen issues. A friend's brother is a doctor in another country. He said their hospitals use apple cider vinegar on burns. I have tried it, and it helped! Almost immediately. Oh! Another aloe Vera "question" - I think a friend had internal burning from chemo or radiation for bresst cancer 😪 She drank aloe Vera & said it helped (hope I have this correctly...been some years)

[@DrDrayzday]

acv on burns is not advised

[@syreesth]

I had an awful retin burn and my skin was wet from plasma and I broke down and bought an aloe leaf and after using that morning and night, I woke up to healed skin (still break outs) but no open wounds and fresh skin!
