How to make
Cut thicker leaves from the plant, which are located at the base, since the young ones do not contain as many nutrients as the older ones. It is recommended to water the aloe for a week every day before it is used for medicinal or cosmetic purposes.
It is also a good idea to keep the cut leaves in the fridge for two weeks before using them, if you skip this step, at least keep the plant out of direct sunlight for a few days before using them for cosmetic purposes.
It is in the absence of light that aloe releases many beneficial components for the skin.
Peel the aloe vera leaves from the green skin, by not scraping them completely, because there is a yellow substance between the clear gel and the skin, which can be toxic. This is the so-called aloin, which until recently was not considered harmful and was even contained in various products, because it has a laxative effect. Another way to remove aloin is to keep the leaves in water for 24 hours and change the water every 3-4 hours.
Put the clear gel in a blender along with the coconut oil, olive oil and drops of lemon juice. A thin liquid will be obtained, which is still called a gel.
Apply it on your face or problem areas with burns or skin problems and leave the skin to absorb it for 20 minutes. Once the time is up, rinse it with lukewarm water.
You can store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to several days and go through the procedure every day. When you run out of the mixture, rest for a few days and you can repeat.
