Fresh aloe vera face scrub

At home, we have a pot of very tall aloe vera with thick leaves. My mother said that aloe vera can be used for beauty, especially in summer. Pick a piece of aloe vera and put it in the refrigerator to freeze it. Then take it out and apply it on your face. The effect is better than applying a facial mask. Of course, I was skeptical, and then I went online to find some related content. After all, you can't use anything you apply on your face carelessly, right?

Then I discovered that some people actually use aloe vera to wash their faces. Of course, aloe vera also has the effect of disinfection and beauty, but if it is fresh aloe vera and not processed, it will contain a large amount of rhein, which will make the skin pigmentation heavier.

Precautions for using fresh aloe vera on your face

Aloe vera has beauty benefits. But it is best not to use fresh aloe vera to wipe your face. CCTV once did a special report on this. Because fresh aloe vera does contain rhein, which can cause permanent darkening and yellowing of the face. Besides, there are more than 500 varieties of aloe vera, but only 11 of them can be used for beauty and health care. In addition, the growth cycle of aloe vera must be more than three years, and the weight must reach more than 50 kilograms and the photosynthesis rate must be more than 60% to achieve the beauty effect. (Does the aloe vera in your home meet these conditions?) So you are strongly advised not to use fresh aloe vera to wipe your face. It is best to use pure aloe vera products sold in the counter to achieve the effect of beauty, moisturizing, locking moisture, tightening pores, removing acne and fading acne marks.

Therefore, when we use fresh aloe vera to wipe our face, we should not be tempted by the cheapness and convenience. After all, although it is a pure natural green product, there are still many unknown things in it. I felt itchy on my face after using it once, and I never dared to use it again. It may be a personal skin problem, but I still recommend using aloe vera gel.
