To increase the action of aloe vera tenfold and make disappear small acne pimplesthe gel can be used in synergy with tea tree essential oil which also has a healing, anti-viral and anti-bacterial action.
Can you get rid of a cold sore with aloe vera?
A little sun, too much stress or simply a little episode of fatigue and presto, a cold sore appears. Most often, a burning and tingling sensation around the lips appears 1 or 2 days before the sore. This one is very contagious and to avoid passing it on to your family or friends, avoid kissing until the lesion has disappeared, do not drink from other people’s glasses or bottles of water and, more generally, do not touch the affected area (or wash your hands well afterwards). You should count on a maximum of 10 to 15 days before the cold sore goes away.
Aloe vera, a natural remedy to quickly make a cold sore disappear
If you are not patient by nature, there is a simple remedy that can be made at home in a few minutes. Its secret? Its main ingredient: aloe vera … whose action is boosted when combined with tea tree essential oil. ! Aloe vera and tea tree will thus act together and promote healing, but also allow the little pimple to benefit from their anti-viral and anti-bacterial action…
Aloe Vera Cold Sores Gel: The Recipe
The ingredients : a jar of aloe vera gel, tea tree essential oil.
The materiall: A stick or mini whisk for mixing.
Utilisation : Mix 10 drops of tea tree essential oil with aloe vera gel and mix with a clean stick.
Although the operation is rather simple, it still requires some precautions! We preferably choose a leaf at the base of the plant and cut it. At this point, a yellow liquid will flow: it is not the one we use on the skin and we must let it flow completely. Only then do we open the leaf in two to recover a transparent and slightly viscous gel: the aloe vera gel !
Aloe Vera Gel and Pimples: Dangers and Precautions
Concerning aloe vera, it is especially in internal use that there can be dangers to health; so much so that the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES) even had to sound the alarm about eating aloe vera! Indeed, if the mucilaginous and transparent gel is edible and without risk, the gel located under the skin of the plant and in contact with the gel is on the other hand toxic. It is latex, containing a irritant and carcinogenic moleculealoin. Hence the danger of aloe vera in self-medication…
It should also be noted that aloe vera gel when used topically can cause an allergic reaction, hence the need to be vigilant at the slightest sign of an allergic reaction.
What about aloe vera gel in products and creams that are found in stores? Before applying it to the skin, here too, some precautions are necessary:
Aloe vera gel can contain water and various other ingredients; if they are not really dangerous, they are also not indicated in the treatment of pimples. In a good product, water should not appear first in the list of ingredients, the aloe vera gel must be certified by the International Scientific Committee for Aloe Vera; a standard that ensures the quality of products and treatments based on this plant. Whether you buy in a pharmacy, on the internet or on Amazon, the ideal is therefore to favor an organic aloe vera gel validated by this standard, a guarantee of quality.
