Aloe Vera Moisturizer
Natural Skin Care Recipe

Sharon shares her favorite natural skin care recipe for an enriched Aloe Moisturizer. 

Sharon explains that her grandmother always used plain old extra virgin olive oil as a natural moisturizing treatment.  But she likes adding aloe because it is not only rich in nutrients, it has significant healing properties.

Because of her sensitive skin, Sharon started adding the gel expressed from her aloe vera plant to a little bit of olive oil to help condition her skin and take advantage of the healing properties of the aloe vera.

She thinks everyone should have an easy to grow aloe plant!

You can adapt this recipe in thousands of different ways and for a variety of different skin types.  Nut oils make a wonderful substitute for the olive oil as does coconut milk.
