Can natural aloe vera be applied directly to the face?

For women, various skin care products are very familiar, and the effect of aloe vera skin care is also known to everyone. Many brands use aloe vera as the main extraction material to make various skin care creams, facial masks, etc. Aloe vera is a plant that can be grown at home. It has many varieties and is very easy to grow. Many women know the skin care effects of aloe vera, so they want to know if natural aloe vera can be applied directly to the face? This issue still needs to be understood well. Aloe vera should not be used directly.

Natural aloe vera can generally be applied on the face, but it depends on individual constitutions. People with allergic constitutions (history of allergies) will generally be allergic to aloe vera, while some people who are not allergic will be allergic to aloe vera. The more natural the aloe vera is, the more likely it is to cause allergies.

Because there is a viscous liquid called rhein between the aloe leaf peel and aloe gel (the translucent part after peeling off the aloe skin). It is yellow and bitter. It has the function of detoxifying, laxative and regulating the stomach and intestines. It is also a powerful weapon for aloe vera to expel insects and is a very important component of aloe vera. It is also very beneficial to the human body if used.

However, rhein can cause skin allergies. Rhein has a stimulating effect on the skin, so when we apply fresh aloe leaves directly on the face, we will feel a tingling sensation. What's worse, some girls even apply rhubarb on their faces as if it were aloe vera juice. The consequences can be imagined. Of course, it will greatly increase the chance of allergies.

Most of the rhubarb has been removed during the processing of aloe vera cosmetics, but due to the different degrees of removal, some residues may remain, which can also cause allergies.

In fact, the aloe vera juice we usually call exists in the gel, and the yellow mucus seen after peeling off the leaf skin is rhein. If we use fresh aloe leaves or aloe juice for beauty care, we should do it like this: take a fresh aloe leaf that is one year old or older, remove the thorns on both sides, and then remove the skin on the top and bottom of the leaf, so that we can get the gel. Rinse the gel with clean water for about half a minute (since rheum rheum only exists between the aloe leaf skin and the gel, there is no rheum rheum inside the gel, so the rheum rheum can be washed away in half a minute), then cut the gel into thin slices and apply it to the face. If conditions permit, change the mask every ten minutes or so, and you will get unexpected beauty effects.
