For all skin issues, aloe vera has got a remedy. The translucent gel within the plant has the answer to various concerns. It can cure tanned skin or moisturizes it. You can gulp it to achieve a fit body or can apply it to attain spotless skin. 

Let us examine in detail the numerous aspects of this magical plant.

Aloe vera Gel and its uses

The gel that comes out of the plant is used broadly in skincare products and extensive health considerations. 

Aloe vera facts

There are about 250 varieties of aloe vera. Exclusively four types are used for skin care and oral consumption. 

Bottled Gel versus Fresh Gel

There are aloe vera juice and gel packed in bottles and tubes. These prepared products are available in stores. The majority of us utilize them. In my opinion, using fresh gel is more beneficial. The vitamins, antioxidants, and enzymes present in the recent gel are remarkably effective. 

Components of aloe vera

Aloe vera gel has powerful antioxidants like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. It also contains a component called – Aloin’. It is a de-pigmenting agent.

It diminishes and decreases dark spots and lightens the overall color of the skin. The other ingredients in the plant are Vitamin B12, Folic acid, and Minerals. 

The most significant element is Polyphenol. This component prevents the growth of many kinds of bacteria. Hence it protects the body from many types of infections. 

How to derive aloe Vera gel?

• Carefully pluck few leaves from the bottom of the plant.
• Place them vertically for some time to release the fluid.
• Cut the thorns of the washed leaves from both the exteriors.
• Uncover the outside layer and slice the white liquid into solids.
• Store the cubes in an air-tight vessel.
• Refrigerate it.

How to preserve fresh aloe Vera gel?

Fresh aloe vera gel lasts for a week. I am sharing methods to store the homemade gel.

Freeze to make ice cubes

Take out the gel from the leaves. Blend the fluid. Pour this into a silicone tray and refrigerate it. After twenty-four hrs take out the cubes and put them into a Ziplock bag. The gel stays for eight months.

Preserve it with honey

Honey works as a natural preservative agent. Take a 1:1 ratio of aloe vera gel and honey. Mix them. Store it in a glass container. The gel will last for six months.

Usage – You can consume this mixture by adding it to your tea, juice, or coffee. Make a face mask with it. Combine little sugar or coffee. You can use it as a body scrub.

Shield it with Vitamin C

Add one gram or one-fourth tsp of Vitamin C to half a cup of the gel. Blend the two well. The juice will last for two months in an air-tight container. Refrigerate it.
