You might have read about it or heard people raving about its uses, and it might even be present in some obscurecorner in your balcony. If yes, you are lucky indeed. In this article, we shall tell you in detail about the skin benefits of this plant and how you can concoct different face packs with it with ingredients found at home.

Aloe vera is a commonly used ingredient in herbal concoctions, medicines, and cosmetics. The first reported use was documented in an Egyptian scrollwhere the use of aloe vera gel with other agents to cure various skin and other internal disorders was mentioned. The most beneficial part of this plant is the leaf. These long and succulent appendages contain a potent gel that makes aloe vera such an amazing go-to natural ingredient for skin remedies.

The main constituent of aloe gel is water but it also packs inside it a bulk of minerals, vitamins, and active compounds. Aloe vera can be used in almost any form – cream or gel – which makes it ideal to be marketed as a product in cosmetic and medical fields. Here are the multiple benefits a simple face pack prepared with aloe gel can give you:

Benefits Of Aloe Vera Face Pack

  • Aloe vera gel rejuvenates the skin, hydrates it, and keeps your skin looking fresh all the time. It is an excellent moisturizer for skin (1).
  • It has antimicrobial properties, making it ideal to treat acne and pimples (2).
  • It is a great naturally occurring antioxidant that reverses the oxidative damage experienced by the skin. This will reduce dullness and give your skin a natural glow(3).
  • It is known to retain your skin’s firmness – making it a good anti-aging cream.
  • Aloe vera is known to reduce pain and inflammation – both internally and externally. It is medicinally also used to treat sun burns, insect bites, eczema, cuts and wounds.
  • It removes dead skin cells and facilitates the rebuilding of fresh and new cells (4).
  • It is a de-pigmentation agent, which means that it can effectively lighten dark spots, hyper-pigmentation, and other skin blemishes (5).

Below are some of the best aloe vera face mask recipes that can be easily made at home. If you are making the aloe vera gel at home and want to use it regularly, then store the extracted gel in an air tight container in the fridge. This way, the gel will be in a good condition and can be used later.

How To Extract Aloe Vera Gel At Home?

  • Choose the leaves of the plant carefully, the leaves in the middle of the plant contains most of the gel as they are juicier, softer, and widest there.
  • Cut the leaves at an angle from the base of the plant.
  • Now, make the leaves stand upright for 15 minutes to allow the sap to drain out. The sap is a yellow colored fluid which will ooze out the moment you cut the leaf. Allow it to drain out completely.
  • Wash the leaves to remove the remaining sap from the leaves.
  • Lay the leaves flat on the cutting board and carefully cut the sides of the leaves which have the thorns. Cut from both the sides.
  • Once that is done, you need to peel off the green layer of the leaf and dice the transparent gel into cubes.
  • Alternatively, you can also slice the leaves into two halves from top to bottom and scrape off the transparent gel with the help of a spoon.
  • Store this gel in an air-tight container in a cool place.
