Hello people of the planet!haha I always wanted to say that.So my name is Nhu but most people call me Quynh and this is my first ever blog!WOOHOO!So today I would be talking about the miracle of aloe vera,but before that I would like to apologize for my use of English.My grammar isn't that good since English is my second language so please forgive me.
Okay now to the miracle of aloe vera!I would like to explain how I personally use aloe vera,what's its use,and how to preserve aloe vera!:)
As we know Aloe Vera is good dry frizzy hair,shaving jel for leg/face,amazing for burns,substitute for moisturizer,mask,etc etc!
Actually i never knew about the use of aloe until around 2 years ago when my bf gave me two small aloe vera plants(which is huge now) for my terrible rash(yikes!).Now I use it mostly as a mask and medications.
First thing first,go buy yourself an aloe vera plant!haha They are ridiculously cheap and easy to grow,no worries!I usually cut the biggest piece of aloe vera(knife would be best but if your under 18 please ask for a parent supervision).
Next you should make sure to wash your hands and your aloe vera stick.
I would cut the aloe vera into small pieces and trim the outside(I usually cut all the top layer with a knife but you can also cut half of the outside layer and scoop it out with a scoop if its easier) so we can get all the good sticky fresh flesh jel of the aloe vera plant.
Don't throw away the outside portion!
Now Place the fresh aloe vera jel into a jar or container(I usually prefer a jar but I ran out of them so I used a container Instead).
Next Use a blender an blend the aloe vera.When your finish preserve the aloe vera jel into the refrigerator. You can preserve it by itself.I usually use the aloe vera juice as medication for burns or mosquito bites.This is amazing for summer!
Don't forget about the outer layer of the aloe vera!We wouldn't want to waste that would we?!?! Of course not!!!
To use these extra babies first we should wash our face.I personally use the philosophy purity and wash my face with Luke warm water to open all my pores up.
Then I would usually(habit so you don't have to)take the biggest extra piece of aloe vera and rub it all over my face as a mask.You can add other things into your alot vera such as olive oil,oats,vitamin C,vitamin E,etc etc. Im not telling you to put all those inside your aloe vera but you can mix then up and experiment creating your own DIY mask! Yet I won't make a DIY mask out of this because I prefer the aloe vera juice itself.
(No edits)lol I look high but Im just not good at taking selfie lol
Keep on the mask for 10-15 mins.Go read a book or use the Internet or just lay down on your bed/coach and just relax! I personally prefer laying down and closing my eyes.There something about aloe vera that makes me relax so much(be careful not to fall asleep!)
Then wash it off with cool water to close all your pores.Yet if you use a toner wash off your face with luke warm water to keep your pores open so your toner with enter easier but since I use a mask I don't want to use a toner since it irrate my skin.
Although instead of using this as a mask you can also leave it on your face as a moisturizer but I usually don't leave it on my face because i have really sensitive face and aloe vera irrate my face if I leave it on too long.
After washing it off I used my favorite moisturizer that my dermatologist recommend the vanicream lite lotion and eye renewal Eye cream!
If you scroll down you can see my face afterward!Its a little red since my skin is pretty sensitive and the lighting way off but it will heal afterward and return to normal.I know I shouldn't recommend this but feel your skin!It is so smooth!lol I love feeling my skin after a mask:)
That's all everyone!I know it's not extravagant of an information and probably alot of people already know all of this,but I hope you enjoy this short blog and I promise in the future I would do better haha
