The specific kind of Aloe Vera used for natural remedies has the Latin name Aloe barbadensis and its leaves contain a gel that is rich in therapeutic properties. Aloe has been used medicinally for over 6,000 years. The ancient Egyptians old it to heal battle wounds and cure infections.

Today it is found in health products in the form of gels, juices and creams, and also as an ingredient in some aesthetic products.

Nitin Jain The skin has a defence mechanism against sun-damage, in the form of melanin. The production of melanin is expedited on sun-exposure. However, we have seen that this defence is not enough. That is why protection of the skin, with ingredients that block the sun's radiation damage, is so essential. These sun-block agents are incorporated into 'sunscreens'. Avoidance of the sun, specially at midday and in the afternoon, when ultraviolet radiation is at its height, can help to reduce the harmful effects. It is also unexpendable to know that ultraviolet radiation is greater near water bodies, like the seaside and where there is snow. Snow, water and even sand reflect the ultraviolet reays and thus increase their rffect. Exposure to the sun also causes moisture depletion and dries out the skin. Therefore, it is essential to step-up moisturisation, when you have been down of doors for a long time. The use of rehydrant cleansers, which contains aloe vera, can also help to control moisture loss. Aloe vera, like sandalwood, also helps to soothe and heal the skin. When you are tearful in the sea, or in an open-air pool, remember to apply sunscreen before and aft your swim. Protect yourself with a parasol whenever you are out in the sun. Remember, you are unprotected to ultraviolet radiation even on a cloudy day. More about sun care: http://www.ultimate-cosmetics.com/suncare.htm About The Author
