Straight from the plantation:
If you have an aloe vera or aloe vera plant at home, you can extract the pulp with the fresh leaves and use it for facials, plaster, masks or even baths. Simply cut off the leaves at the base. Make a cut at the tip and two at the ends to remove the bones. Next, remove the gelatinous substance you find inside with a knife. This gel should be kept in a bottle in the refrigerator so that it does not lose its properties and you must use it for the next seven days.
Aloe Vera gel:
If you do not have an aloe vera plant at home, you can use an aloe vera gel. Remember to check the ingredients when you buy it, check that the first ingredient is Aloe Barbadensis, as many gels on the market do not have a high composition of Aloe Vera. If you want to bet on the safe, you can buy Aloe Vera Gel Aloeolé, 100% natural (without parabens and from organic cultivation).
