Guest guest Posted September 20, 1999 Report Share Posted September 20, 1999 , I was having some problems with Jojoba Oil, too, so I tried Aloe Vera juice. That's right, juice not gel. It can be applied topically as well as injested. I pour some in my hands and then pat it all over my face, morning and night. I have used Aloe Vera gel in the past, and I find the juice works much better, probably because it is 99.9% pure. The gels often have additives, also they are not absorbed into the skin as well as the juice is. The juice absorbs so well, I can apply moisturizer on top of it. My skin loves it. I found the juice at a health foods store. If I'm feeling really adventurous one of these days, I might try drinking it. Moisturizers.. Hi, I live in Canada.. and I have a feeling this winter is going to be pretty harsh on my skin.. and already the jojoba oil is showing signs of not cutting it during the day. I'm also still using the LTD discs and maybe cutting down on their use will help with the dryness. Does anyone have any moisturizer suggestions besides Face and Day and jojoba oil? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to earn money while on the net?

I tried it just 1/2 a cup sometimes. Never heard before that people drank that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 I also tried aloe vera juice that I got from GNC. I'm not sure if it was because I had a flare up and my cheeks were extremely hot and purple, but I had to take it off immediately. NOTE: It has citric acid in it!! > ---------- > From: on, [sMTP:cmorrison@...] > Sent: Monday, September 20, 1999 9:24 AM > To: ' Demchuk'; rosacea-supporteGroups > Subject: Re: Moisturizers.. > > , > I was having some problems with Jojoba Oil, too, so I tried Aloe Vera > juice. > That's right, juice not gel.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 My juice does not have citric acid. I buy it in bulk, and the dispenser at the store reads, " Can be ingested or applied topically. " The juice that has citric acid may be meant just for drinking, I am not sure. I do know that my skin has improved a great deal since I've been using the stuff.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 At Rainbow Grocery, which is in San Francisco. It is like a supermarket, but with all organic foods, plus lots of herbal supplements and all-natural products. Unfortunately it is not a chain. But, there are similar-type stores that are, like Whole Foods. Also, someone on the board said she buys real aloe leaves in her supermarket, so that is another way to get pure aloe. I hope I am not recommending something that is near impossible to find. I will check the web to see if it can be ordered.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 1999 Report Share Posted September 24, 1999 Pat, I wasn't successful with aloe vera gel. It made my skin red and extra rough. I use gylcerine mixed with water for extra moisture. It seems to work for me. Matija original article:/group/rosacea-support/?start=83 11 > I also tried aloe vera juice that I got from GNC.
