How to use Aloe Vera for Acne.
1. Get Aloe Vera; you can get Aloe Vera plants around, either buy one or you buy pre-made Aloe Vera gel. To remove the gel from the Aloe Vera leaf, you will need to get the leaf from the plant and wash it then cut the leave into two then cut it in half vertically using a knife or a scissors . Use a spoon to scoop out the gel from the Aloe Vera leaf.
2. Some people might have allergy to plant which they have no idea about, so it is advisable to always try a small amount of the gel scooped from the plant or you can also try it on your wrist or any small area of your body before applying it all over then allow it to dry and rinse off, if there is any sign of reddening, itching or swelling please do not use but if there are no signs then it is save to use.
3. You can mix Aloe Vera with lemon because lemon juice helps to maintain the pH(potential hydrogen) of the skin.
• Take 2 spoons of the scooped Aloe Vera gel and add 5 to 6 drops of lemon juice then mix thoroughly.
• To apply you can use a Cotten bud to apply directly to the acne.
• Let the mixture stay on your face for about 20-30 minutes or overnight.
• Rinse off with Lukewarm water. Repeat this daily.
4. You can also use Aloe Vera to make a facial mask. Get an Aloe Vera and follow the same process of step one.
For the facial mask we will be using honey, honey has additional antibacterial properties.
• Take one spoon of honey and add it into the Aloe Vera gel then mix thoroughly.
• Apply the mixture with a brush or your hand( wash hands thoroughly using an antibacterial soap before the use of the hands).
• Leave it on for at least 25-35 minutes or overnight
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply this daily.
It might take time to see changes so continue this treatment for weeks. If you do not see any changes in four to five weeks my advise for you is to visit a dramatologist to determine what is best for you.
Well noted Temi. Good work
