I love Aloe. Not to drink it mind you (some people do–horrifying stuff!), but on the skin.
Have you ever used it on a burn or a breakout, etc.?
It saved me one time on my honeymoon, after I burned the tops of my feet in St. Thomas.
Keep a plant in your home, they are very easy to care for. And when you need it, just snip an arm off, or even part of one, and slice until you can reach the ooze. Then apply liberally. Sometimes it can have a slight yellow color, so be careful to not stain.
You will enjoy the results.
