The gel perfectly cools and moisturizes: ideal for all burns

Aloe vera has a very wide range of uses and can relieve a variety of ailments, both in the form of juice and gel, which its leaves contain in abundance. It is excellent for moisturizing the skin, treating burns, scars, redness, reducing stretch marks on the skin, rejuvenating, cleansing the body of toxins… It should be carried with you at all times.

It can also help if you over-sunbathe, as it stimulates skin renewal and increases the skin’s natural moisture. You can mix aloe vera gel with a drop of lavender essential oil and apply to burns, redness and painful areas. For sensitive, damaged or irritated skin, mix 56 ml of lavender hydrosol, 30 ml of peppermint hydrosol and 10 ml of aloe vera juice. In this way, the skin can be treated several times a day or as needed.

As an anti-burn lotion, you can also mix 50 ml of rose water, 50 ml of glycerin, 50 ml of aloe vera juice, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Place in a glass bottle and shake well. Apply the lotion gently to wet skin and then rinse. You can use the lotion for three to five days and then prepare the candle.

The benefits of aloe vera are wide-ranging, so everyone should grow it in a pot at home. Remember that aloe vera is a succulent plant, and this plant is very sensitive to moisture and overwatering – sometimes it is better to forget to water it than to overwater it – which will damage them. You can also buy the gel at a drugstore or pharmacy at an extremely affordable price.

It is recommended to use leaves from two to three-year-old plants. The leaves are cut to obtain the juice, and the mucilage-rich gelatin is extracted from the center. The gelatin contains polysaccharides and lipids with therapeutic properties, and the juice is rich in anthraquinones.

Another benefit of using aloe vera on your skin is soothing stings. Applying the plant’s gel to the affected area relieves itching; and reduces swelling and irritation. It also has excellent oil-fighting abilities and is extremely nourishing and stimulating to the hair. You can add a drop of almond oil to the gel and let it do its thing.

If you want to make stretch marks less noticeable, just massage the affected area with aloe vera gel and keep doing it. You can also use aloe vera gel to reduce scars or acne. Mix one spoon of gel with two to three drops of lemon juice, then apply the mixture to the affected area and let it absorb completely. To cleanse your face and remove makeup, apply a few drops of aloe vera gel on a cotton ball and wipe your face. Repeat as needed. Afterwards, wash your face with water and apply a face cream.
