mikyl36 0 Posted May 14, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys...but does this do anything to help fight acne...i mean would it be of any benefit to even try this...i could imagine that it probably taste pretty nasty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wotalotaspot 0 Posted May 15, 2005 Thanks for the replies guys...but does this do anything to help fight acne...i mean would it be of any benefit to even try this...i could imagine that it probably taste pretty nasty ← I take aloe vera in a juice which has cranberry in it which tastes ok. I think it has helped with my acne but its a long term thing (takes about three months) it seemed to give me initial breakouts for some time which have appeared to subside now and im clearing up nicely. (Breakouts probably to do with the cleansing releasing toxins into the blood.) I also had a shave using aloe vera gel last night and my skin feels nice n smooth right now. Give drinking a little bit before meals a go for a few months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Wotalotaspot...I might just give it a try...how do u prepare the aloe vera? Do u blend the aloe vera leaves whole with a blender? I'm glad that ur seeing results...cheers!
