Aloe vera is a species native to North Africa.

How:

• Peel off the aloe vera, wash it, and scrape out the flesh
• Put the prepared aloe vera in an ice tray and put it in the freezer
• Each time you use it, take 1 frozen aloe vera tablet and apply it to your face for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then rinse with clean water.

Aloe vera contains many minerals, vitamins, and water, so you can apply it directly to your face without combining other ingredients. Using fresh aloe vera can also help you quickly improve your dark or dry skin.

How:

• Apply the flesh on your face, massage gently for about 10 minutes and then rinse with cold water.

Aloe vera boosts elasticity and cell regeneration while lemon, with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, deeply cleanses the skin.

3. Notes when taking care of facial skin with aloe vera

• While preparing aloe vera, it’s important to maintain hygiene. Avoid getting your hands dirty while peeling aloe vera to prevent other bacteria from contaminating the mixture and impacting the skin.
• Use fresh and green aloe vera with plenty of water to provide all the necessary nutrients for your skin.
• Before applying an aloe vera mask, remember to check if you are allergic or not
• Only apply the mask for 15 to 20 minutes, leaving it on too long will cause side effects that affect the skin.
• For optimal effectiveness, it’s recommended to apply the aloe vera mask in the evenings before bedtime. During the day, ensure to apply sunscreen and cover carefully to protect against sunlight.
