How To Extract Aloe Gel?

Slice a small piece of Aloe vera.

You will find light yellowish liquid oozing out from the sliced aloe. Discard the liquid as it might cause skin infection to sensitive skin. You can even water it out for wiping the yellow liquid.

De-thorn the sides and peel the skin on both the sides with a knife.

Collect the aloe gel cubes in a clean container.

Blending the aloe cubes will make a clean paste of the gel. But usually avoid blending it, as the gel completely sticks to the blender and makes it difficult to take out.

Procedure:

Take a clean bowl and place the sliced aloe cubes. Add a spoon of honey and milk.

Smash the aloe cubes using fingers as much as you can.
Easy homemade aloe vera face pack is ready. Since the pack is of liquid consistency, you might experience dripping in the beginning. But the gel and honey will stick to your skin and make the face pack tight within no time. 

Directions For Use:

• Apply the face pack all over your face and neck. Leave it on for 15 minutes. It is best to apply the face pack in the shower room to avoid mess.
• You might get pieces of gel. Do not discard them, instead place them in the affected skin area.
• Remove after drying. The pack does not dry completely as the gel and honey are sticky.
• Wipe out with warm water and pat dry.
