Not a fan of injecting a neurotoxin into your body? Yeah, me neither. However, as anyone with a pulse, you’re probably vain, even if you hate to admit it (yeah I don’t want to admit it either, but hey, your secret is safe with me).

So what is a vain botox-shy person to do?

Well, I am a fan of fresh raw aloe vera leaves - good for you on the inside and the outside it turns out.

Did you know that aloe vera has molecules called sterols, and that these sterols promote the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, which helps the skin retain moisture.

A study from 2009 in the Annals of Dermatology, found that just 1200 mg/d, a 1/4 teaspoon, of pure Aloe Vera gel will significantly reverse the signs of aging skin within 3 months.

In this study they focused on dietary intake of aloe vera - for best results I’d combine oral intake with using it directly on your face daily.
