Soft and Silky Moisturizer Formula
By Annie B. Bond
Keeping our skin soft and smooth in winter can be a real challenge when the air is cold and the heat in our homes makes the air even drier than usual. But this amazingly simple formula from Care2’s Annie Bond is a fabulous emollient, hydrator, and healer for the skin. Annie’s family and friends praise it highly, and she says that daily use for four months made her age spots disappear.
It’s also wonderfully simple to make, with only two ingredients. Here is this terrific formula:
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup aloe vera gel
1/8 cup vegetable glycerin
Combine the ingredients, stirring well to combine, and store in a glass jar with a screw top. (The formula will keep for about 4 months.)
To use, apply a dab to clean, damp skin and gently massage it in.
Makes about 5/8 cup.

Why show an image of a creamy moisturizer and then give a recipe for something that remains in a liquid state?

olive oil also works well as a cleanser or a moisturizer
As a person that is very sensitive to chemicals, this kind of site is great. For the past two weeks, I can't be in my own home because one of m y neighbors is using a chemical that I am reacting to. (I live in a condo.)

Georges Aloe is one of the top brands you can purchase with no added preservatives.
It can be purchased online at either vitimin shoppe or puritans pride , possibly vitimin world. It is usually availible at any good health food store. You can also purchase huge aloe plant leaves/stalks at whole foods store.
hope this helps! :)

You can scrape the leaves but you can also buy avoe vera gel at a natural food's store. It comes in a bottle. A lot easier than all that scraping.

Please tell me if I get the aloe vera gel by scraping it from the inside of a plant's leaf. This is just what I am looking for.
