Aloe Vera Face Mask

Aloe vera gel can easily be extracted at home. The gel can be used to make aloe vera face mask to serve various functions as needed. Here are the steps:

1. Choose the leaves loaded with gel. These are mainly at the center of the aloe vera plant.

2. Use a sharp tool to cut them carefully at an angle from the plant’s base.

3. Drain the yellow sap by standing the leaves upright for about 15 minutes.

4. Wash the leaves after they have been completely drained.

5. Carefully cut off the green layer and divide the transparent gel into various cubes. You can also cut the leaves well into two halves from the bottom top and remove the gel using a spoon.

Note: You can buy aloe vera gel from market or stores if you don't have aloe vera plant.
