Aloe vera is one of the best ingredients for the skin. You must have heard of this gel being used in many lotions for the face and the body that are available in the markets. You can also use the gel extracted from aloe leaves topically, without mixing it in anything.
Today we will tell you some recipes for masks you can use at home, using aloe vera gel to get bright and glowing skin easily.
For a scrub
Exfoliating your skin is really important to get rid of dead skin cells and give way to skin that is all new and glowing. The skin often begins to look dull and lifeless when dead skin cells are present. You can make scrubs at home using a host of ingredients, but this scrub will suit all skin types. You will need aloe vera gel, curd, and some brown or white sugar in powder form. Mix all these ingredients together and apply it on your face, rubbing it in circular motion. This rubbing motion helps get rid of the surface dead skin cells. The aloe vera gel helps soothe and moisturise the skin, the curd helps to brighten the skin due to its lactic acid content, and the sugar helps slough away dead skin cells. Do this once a week.
For acne
Acne can be very painful and often leave scars. For this mask, you will need aloe vera gel, some nutmeg powder and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients together to form a paste and apply this on your face liberally. Keep it on for around ten minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Aloe vera gel is very soothing for skin that is inflamed. Nutmeg powder has anti-inflammatory properties and regulates sebum production, while lemon juice with its bleaching properties, will help lighten the scars.
For dry skin
Dry skin can feel tight even while doing simple things like smiling and talking. aloe vera gel is an amazing moisturiser for dry skin. Mix some aloe vera gel with olive oil, honey and sweet almond oil. Mix it all together and apply to your face. Wash off after thirty minutes to reveal skin that is plump and soft to the touch. The oils used in this mask are great for combatting dryness and the early signs of ageing that come with dry skin. Use this mask whenever you feel like your skin is becoming too tight.
For oily skin
Mix aloe vera gel with tomato puree and yogurt. Tomato puree acts like an astringent and helps reduce the size of pores while yogurt with its lactic acid helps gently exfoliate the skin. This mask will help get rid of too much oil on the face and lighten marks left by acne and pimples. Leave the paste on your face for thirty minutes and then rinse.
