To make aloe vera gel,
all you need is a healthy
aloe plant (Aloe barbadensis).
The procedure is simple:
1. It is important to start with
clean hands. Also, use clean
making utensils so that the gel
does not become contaminated.
2. Cut off the outer leaf of
the plant (the outer leaves are
more mature).
There will be enough fresh,
healthy gel in the leaf.
Since aloe gel is easily
perishable, it is best
to prepare a smaller amount.
A leaf or two, especially
if they are larger, is enough
for half a cup to a cup of gel.
And if you have a young plant,
be careful not to cut too much
at once, because that way you
can damage it.
3. Squeeze the juice
Place the leaves in a cup and
let the juice drain.
The juice contains latex,
which can be irritating to
the skin, so it is best to
squeeze it.
Peel the leaves
It is best to use a vegetable
peeler to remove the outer
green part of the leaf.
Peel carefully until you reach
the gel in the middle of the leaf.
5. Grasp the gel with a
small spoon
The transparent soft gel
is easy to separate from
the leaves with a spoon.
Take as much as there is and
put it in a clean container.
6. Mix the gel with a
natural preservative
(eg vitamin C)
If you get more gel and
want to keep it for a
month or two, mix 500 mg
of vitamin C for each cup
or add a few drops of oil
with vitamin E.
Mix the ingredients
(you can also use a blender).
7. Pour the gel into a
sterilized glass container
If you have used any of
the food storage products,
you can store the gel
in the refrigerator for a
month or two.
Without a natural preservative,
the gel can be used for a week.
8. Use gel
You can use the gel
to hydrate the skin.
You can prepare other home
remedies from it,
and it is best to use
it for superficial skin
irritations.
You can mix ½ cups of aloe
with ¼ cups of melted coconut
oil - this way you will get
a healing moisturizing lotion.
And this is how aloe vera gel
is used to remove wrinkles
Massage a little gel directly
on the skin.
Do it gently and gently massage
for about 3 minutes.
You can also add one capsule
of vitamin E to one teaspoon of gel.
Stir and use to massage
the face or the area where
wrinkles appear
(it can also be used for décolleté).
Massage your skin regularly every
night before bed.
You will notice an improvement
after a few days.
