ALOEVERA PLANT (Snap taken from my terrace)
THINGS NEEDED
- Aloevera leaf (Taken from the plant)
- A sharp knife
- A small bowl
METHOD
1. Cut a fresh, green looking aloevera leaf from the plant (Preferably from the center as it will be new and fresh). This is how the aloevera leaf looks. After cutting it from the plant allow a yellow liquid which get out of it for sometime (It's not needed, I will get out of the plant within a minute) and wash the leaf with clean water.
2. After washing the leaf, gently scrap the thick green skin from both side of the leaf with your sharp knife. Be careful while doing this because the thorns in the edges of the leaf may scratch your skin.
3. After peeling the skin off, you will get the fresh transparent pulp which is slippery. It will look something like this..
4. Save this gel in a clean bowl and paste it user a mixer. (Don't add water, the pulp has a lot of moisture).
This paste is the Aloevera gel which we can use as a skin and hair care remedy at home. Store this gel in refrigerator. The refrigerated Aloe gel can be used for a week :)
