How Aloe Vera Can Make Your Skin’s Collagen Better

· Leave a Comment

We all know Aloe Vera can soothe a sunburn or help heal a scraped knee. But exciting research now explains how this well-known wound healer can improve the appearance of skin, namely by ramping up Collagen type III production, enhancing elastin, and restoring moisture to dry, hardened skin.

About Aloe Vera Gel

Did your Grandma keep an Aloe Vera plant in her kitchen? This folklore remedy has been used for a variety of skin conditions ranging from bug bites to sun burn. But this humble plant boasts big beauty benefits.

Aloe Vera gel contains over 75 nutrients to feed the skin. Two important nutrients for younger looking skin are Glucomannan and Amino Acids.

Glucomannan is a big part of why Aloe gel is such a great healer. It is also why Aloe can produce younger looking skin.

THE RESEARCH: Collagen Production and Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera contributes to collagen regeneration which is helpful in wound healing.

Topical Aloe Vera gel application causes its’ Glucomannan to interact with skin fibroblasts. That significantly increases collagen synthesis. [1]

But here is the best part:

Studies show aloe gel not only increased the collagen in a wound, but changed the collagen composition to increased collagen type III.

Collagen type III is also known as “baby collagen”. Baby collagen is the best kind of collagen for youthful skin. We lose Collagen type III with age.

Studies also show topical Aloe gel application increased the degree of collagen cross linking. This contracts the skin. Another benefit is it also increases hyaluronic acid synthesis. [2]

What does that mean?

  • Aloe Vera gel on a wound causes optimal scar tissue healing (smaller, tighter, smoother scars)[3]
  • Aloe Vera gel on skin can increase collagen III and hyaluronic acid – two sources of youthful skin

I am SO slathering my face and throat with Aloe gel now.

Moisturizing and anti-aging Benefits

Mucopolysaccharides help in binding moisture into the skin.

Aloe stimulates fibroblast also stimulates elastin fibers. Elastin gives skin its springy bounce back. The more elastic the skin is, the less wrinkled.

It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin.

Aloe Vera, also known as Aloe barbadensis miller, contains ample Amino acids. These amino acids soften hardened skin cells.

One study found wearing aloe vera gel gloves “improved the skin integrity, decreases appearance of fine wrinkle and decreases erythema”. [4]

Summary of How Aloe Vera Can Make Your Skin’s Collagen Better

Topical Aloe Vera gel application can stimulate key younger skin components which we lose with age: collagen type III, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The Amino acids in Aloe gel can soften hardened skin and improve chronically dry skin, along with decreasing fine wrinkle appearance.

Why Love Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Overnight Serum

Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-In Treatment Review

Harsh winter weather combined with forced indoor heat can cause luscious locks to quickly turn dry, brittle and blah. So we were excited to try Aveda Botanical Repair Strengthening Leave-In Treatment. It provides a no-fuss, overnight remedy to revive hair and build bonds with natural oils. It is especially effective on delicate hair ends.

Aveda Botanical Repair is excellent for delicate and brittle hair strands

What Is Aveda Botanical Repair 

It is an overnight bond builder hair serum that did not leave my hair sticky or greasy

Why Aveda Botanical Repair Is Special

Unlike many bond builders, it is free from silicones, parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin, and formaldehyde. 

It is a small package, but you only need to use the tiniest amount for full-size product level results.

The Ingredients

Avocado Oil Ingredient featured on StyleChicks.com

 

Avocado Oil

Using Avo in a formulation imparts the benefits of avocado oil without the heavy oil feel.

Sacha Indci Nuts

Sacha Inchi nuts

Sacha Inchi Oil

Sachi Inchi Oil  has amazing hair friendly properties. It replaces lost protein in the hair shaft. It is another name for  Sacha Inchi Oil has an astounding level of omega-3s, omega-6s and some omega-9s. Omegas feed hair and keep it looking lush and hydrated.

Nangai Oil (CANARIUM INDICUM OIL)

Nangai Oil comes from a nut of the canarium indicum tree. It absorbs quickly and retains precious hair moisture with moisture-enhancing triglycerides. These promote hair shine and texture.

Sunflower Oil

Sunflower Oil is an excellent unscented oil for hair hydration and softening. 

  • Vitamin E promotes scalp health.
  • It blends well with other oils.
  • Ideal for coarse hair because it helps hair retain moisture. It is a light non-polar solvent that prevents water loss. It penetrates the hair shaft to lock and retain moisture.
  • It contains Omega 9, an essential acid needed to stop breakage and stimulate hair growth.

Sunflower Oil benefits all hair types, especially hair needing extra moisture. This includes coarse hair, curly hair, and damaged hair

The Experience

CONSISTENCY

A lightweight consistency similar to a finishing cream. I did not find it at all greasy, especially for a product with multiple heavy oils.

SCENT

There is a faint nutty scent in the tube but I do not find it detectible upon application.

APPLICATION

TIP: Apply sparingly – think lima bean, not grape size dollop for long hair, pea size dollop for short. I find it also doubles as a hair smoother.

It comes is a smaller sample size to try before a bigger investment. It says it is intended to be used as part of the Aveda Botanical Repair system, but also functions as a nice go-to smoother that fits into your bag for a quick frizzy hair fix.

How to Best Use the Nira Precision Laser

REVIEW + GUIDE for the NIRA PRECISION LASER DEVICE

We previously featured NIRA. NIRA is an FDA-approved, at-home use non-fractional at-home laser device tightens skin in 2 minutes a day.

This handheld dermatological device stimulates natural collagen production for younger looking skin and works in the small tricky crevice areas like around the browbone, crow’s feet, mouth, and eleven lines.

In this guide we tell our experience with the Nira Precision Skincare Laser and how to use NIRA.

See Part One of this two part series:  How Does the NIRA Skincare Laser work?

 

What Is NIRA Precision Skincare Laser?

The NIRA Precision Skincare Laser offers a method of collagen building without the risks associated with in-office fractional laser skin resurfacing.

And it is far less painful. No risks or downtime. 

The improvement is slow and subtle. But it is notable.

The NIRA Precision laser device is an ergonomically shaped tool that is lightweight and fits in your hand.

The Treatment Head

The treatment head makes direct contact with the skin.

Because the head is small (about the size of a pencil head eraser) the treatment can be very targeted to thin skin areas a fractional (damaging) laser could not normally treat.

 Two examples are around the mouth and the orbital eye area.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum

The serum is hyaluronic acid – no extra bells and whistles. No fillers, parabens, and it is fragrance-free.

You may have a HA product you love, but for this purpose, choose one without extra treating ingredients so you can best tolerate the treatment.

NIRA Hyaluronic Acid Advanced Serum is oil free, paraben-free, and fragrance-free

How to Best Use Nira Precision 

The instructions are simple.

  1. Wash and dry the area to be treated.
  2. Now turn the device on.
  3. Press the button again to increase or decrease the strength level between 1 and 5.
  4. For your first session, start at one or two green bars.
  5. Place the circle tip head directly and evenly against your skin where you desire treatment.
  6. Press the big button to activate the “burst” of energy.
  7. Listen for the two beeps. You will feel the “burst”.
  8. Adjust the level of green bars to your comfort. Some areas won’t hurt at all with 4 or 5 bars.  But other areas are more sensitive. Determine your comfort level per area.
  9. Move over to the next spot and repeat until you have treated the entire area.
  10. Repeat a second treatment on the area, so that the area is treated twice. (every spot gets two bursts total)
  11. Focus on one small area at a time for best results. 
  12. Then repeat in the next area. 
  13. End your session or move onto the next area to be treated.
  14. Once treatment is complete, apply the Hyaluronic Acid.
  15. It is about two minutes to treat each area.
  16. Each area should get two treatments, but don’t do them twice in succession.
  17. Complete the treatment area and start over.

How to DECODE THE NIRA Precision BEEP Sounds

There are 3 distinct sounds to help you use the device properly.

You should hear two sounds each time you press the button.

WHAT IS THE NIRA FIRED CORRECTLY SOUND?

When you correctly fired the energy burst, there are two quick beeps.

WHAT IS THE NIRA MISFIRED SOUND?

  • if the head is misaligned or on an uneven surface or misfired, it is one beep before a losing a game show like buzz.
  • When you hear that, you will need to redo that spot. This happens most often along contours and curves of the face.

WHAT IS THE BURST COUNT SOUND?

Periodically there is a two-beat third sound that is just keeping count of how many bursts have happened so far in the session.

All is well!

What is the PAIN LEVEL of NIRA?

It is not completely painless, but not bad. Its a quick little “zap”.

What can I do if it is uncomfortable to use the device?

  • If it is too uncomfortable, choose a lower setting.
  • You control when the burst occurs, so you can be ready for it.
  • We recommend starting with level 1 or 2 the first time just to know what to expect.

RESULTS

The device is quite useful on forehead wrinkles and around the eyes. I really like it to firm and tone around the browbone, crow’s feet and to contour my lip line.

NIRA tackles pesky tell tale signs of aging such as crows feet, eleven lines, and deep forehead creases.

Results take time. But there is no down time. And no risk of infection.

There is a bit of temporary redness after use, but no skin irritation or swelling.

 

Tips for NIRA Precision Best Use

  • Take closeup photos of yourself, there are improvements but subtle over 90 days.
  • Start with a lower strength, especially on sensitive areas. Increment up as you grow accustomed to the device
  • Charge after every other use
