How Simple Habits and Aloe Vera Keep Mature Skin Radiant

Some skeptics ask why bother with massages, masks, and chasing creams when aging is inevitable. I disagree.

More and more women are realizing that well-cared-for skin can resist aging for a long time. It just takes a little attention to your appearance.

For instance, if you look in the mirror and notice a pale, even yellowish complexion, step outside for 15 to 20 minutes and you’ll immediately see your cheeks flush with color. That’s just from one outing! Imagine if you made it a habit to take a walk every day…

There’s a simple truth: a flower that isn’t watered or nourished will wilt. The same goes for your facial skin; without regular care, it can lose its vitality prematurely. As we age, our skin needs support and nourishment. One effective helper in this regard is aloe vera.

Keep your potted aloe vera in a cool, dark spot for two weeks.

Apply the juice from a cut aloe leaf to your freshly washed face and neck in the morning or evening. Aloe can act as a natural biostimulant for many skin types, and the juice is especially helpful for women whose faces redden from dilated capillaries. Gently massage your skin with your fingertips for about two minutes once it’s well hydrated with the juice. Some people may feel a slight tingling sensation, but it will fade after two or three treatments. Repeat this nourishing process every two days for two weeks.

After washing your face, apply a cream.
