Every woman has a desire to get a good skin. But nowadays,  we women are unable to take care of it due to several reasons starting with our hectic lifestyles, pollution, negligence and stress. This inturn leads to many skin problems like pimples, acne, hyper pigmentation, blackheads etc. This effects our confidence when it comes to the way we look, we accept it or not is another debate altogether. As an answer to this, we have an ingredient which is easily available in the market or can be grown in our gardens, and that is aloe vera. This plant is a solution to many problems.

Aloe vera is good not just for inflammation and rashes and dry skin but also for pigmentation. It is a remedy for it all. If you have small black spots on your skin then it is due to excessive amounts of melanin. Yes, due to the cell called melanocytes, the colour of the skin changes to a dark brown or black. Melanocytes are produced due to molanocytes, so the skin gets its own colour. On the other hand, when melanocytes are damaged or they become unhygienic or produce excessive amounts of melanin, then the skin starts turning black and appear in the form of pigmentation on the face. This could happen due to several reasons like:

• Hormonal changes
• Sun exposure   
• Genetic reasons
• Allergy

Dr. Abrar Multani, who has authored books on Ayurvedic Expert of Bhopal and many health topics, says, "Aloe vera is a wonderful medicine in Ayurveda. It is also very beneficial in eating and applying it on the skin also greatly benefits. In today's time, there is hardly any such cream or body lotion in which the aloe vera is not used. Aloe vera has Aloeine, a natural remodeling element that works to lighten the colour of the skin and acst as a nonotoxic hyperpigmentation treatment. Apart from this, Giberelin found in Aloe vera gel is helpful in making new cells which reduces skin scars quickly and naturally. Therefore, Aloe vera also works with skin cleansers. By mixing aloe vera with rose water, it is removed in a few days by putting it on pigmentation."
