I've heard that aloe does work for protecting and smoothing skin. We can see so many cosmetics contain aloe, such as aloe facial masks, aloe facial cleanser, aloe eye oil. Aloe vera really works for eyelashes because they have abundant natural auxin. After washing face, especially eyes, you can apply a little on eyes and close your eyes for a while in case they enter your eyes. By the way, I have known an ancient way to stimulate eyelashes to grow-using gingerade wash eyes. My little brother has a little hair and eyelashes, so my grandmother always use some gingerade to wash his head and eyes during his bathing. And my grandmother said this is an ancient way in traditional China, however, it works. By the way, ginger honey has a great effect on changing spots and old color on skin, especially on face. You are worthy to have a try.
