Aleo Vera is very powerful. Im eaten it for years and I also put it on burns and bumps on my skin. I sometimes purchase the drink already processed and drink it. Thanks for posting this information on taking care of one's skin. Have you thought about the effects that water (dirty or chemicals) have on your skin when you shower? Amazon sells a product ($35) to place on your shower head to filter all these harmful chemicals in our water. Thanks again!
