Aloe vera gel can be said to be the safest skin care tool. It has excellent effects as a lotion and facial cream. The natural ingredients can also reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, and relieve skin problems. For those who like hand-made DIY, making a bottle of aloe vera gel is also meaningful. Let’s take a look at how to make homemade aloe vera gel today.

Processing Aloe Vera

Choose aloe vera with thick and full leaves. Remember not to confuse it with inedible poisonous succulents. You must use a specifically edible variety. Cut the aloe vera, peel it and soak it in water to remove the rhein. Be careful not to get your hands directly contaminated by the cut aloe vera mucus to avoid causing discomfort.

Juicing

Dice the aloe vera and put it into a mesh wrapped in gauze. Use your hands or a heavy object to squeeze out the aloe vera juice, and then filter the aloe vera juice a second time. This method is to replace the function of the juicer, and it will naturally take more time than the juicer, but if you wrap it directly with gauze, you can save some of the filtering steps.

gel

Add a special gel-forming agent to make the aloe vera juice solidify into a transparent gel. You can mix in some vitamin E to achieve better moisturizing and skin care effects.

Precautions

The prepared aloe vera gel is best stored in the refrigerator, but keep it away from savory foods to prevent the odor from affecting the quality of the aloe vera gel.
Using a juicer can save preparation time, but the aloe vera juice squeezed by the juicer will produce a lot of foam.
You don't need too much aloe vera, six to seven pieces are enough.
Do not apply raw aloe vera directly to your face as it may cause allergic reactions.
