The use of aloe in cosmetology at home

In almost every house on the windowsill you can find such an unpretentious plant as aloe. But few people know about the beneficial properties of agave, thanks to which it is called a “healing plant.” In addition to bactericidal, wound-healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, this plant has a “powerful” cosmetic effect.

Beneficial properties of aloe for facial skin

Aloe juice has an excellent calming effect. It softens and smoothes the skin. People whose skin is prone to irritation, dryness, and redness are advised to use aloe for the face. At home, cosmetics are prepared that relieve irritation, remove red spots and reduce itching.

Agave juice contains a large supply of vitamins and minerals: silicon and copper, fluorine, vitamins A, B, C, E, iron and iodine, zinc. The juice contains useful substances such as lignins. They are able to penetrate deeply into the skin and have a beneficial effect on it directly from the inside. In addition, they promote skin renewal, activate healing and cell regeneration processes. Even pigment spots with the right product based on aloe juice can be removed in a few weeks.

Indications and contraindications

Aloe is one of the few medicinal plants that have a minimum set of contraindications for use. It is undesirable to use agave at “critical” moments that occur in women every month. It is also not recommended to use aloe for pregnant women, nursing mothers and people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

Cases of individual intolerance or allergies are very rare. But if you have even the slightest doubt, then do not use fresh aloe on your face. Test it on the skin of your hand. Let it soak in. If no irritation, itching or redness appears, then you can safely apply it to your face.

Now about the testimony. Aloe for facial skin can be used by women suffering from problems such as acne and rashes, redness and chapping, peeling and oily shine. Aloe is a universal helper. It nourishes and moisturizes dry skin, helps dry out oily skin a little, and relieves aging skin of a network of small, unpleasant wrinkles.

By the way, aloe for the face at home can also be used to eliminate the consequences of negative factors. This may be the influence of a solarium, direct sunlight, or the effect of using bad, low-quality cosmetics. Aloe will also help fight dull complexion.

Proper preparation of aloe juice

As you know, aloe juice has healing and cosmetic properties. However, to obtain the juice, you must prepare the aloe leaves (for the face) properly. At home, it should be noted, this is done much more carefully than in production. Therefore, homemade cosmetics with aloe juice are more effective and safer than store-bought ones.

Experts advise choosing leaves that grow on an adult plant. Aloe must be more than three years old. It is recommended to stop watering the plant for a couple of days. After this, the largest, fleshiest and juiciest-looking leaves are selected. They need to be washed and dried. It is not recommended to squeeze the juice right away. Cosmetologists advise keeping the leaves in the refrigerator for a while. Thus, the juice will be more viscous and rich.

After resting in the refrigerator, the leaves can be crushed and the juice squeezed out through cheesecloth. It is important that the healing properties of aloe last only for 2-3 days. Then you should prepare a new sheet for spinning.

Refreshing and toning

If your face is in good condition, it simply lacks tone, then a face mask made from aloe and honey will help you. For cooking you will need two tbsp. spoons of warmed liquid honey and one teaspoon of aloe juice. The mixture is applied to the face and left there for ten minutes.

If your face lacks freshness, if it is tired during the day and requires immediate attention, then we recommend preparing an egg mask with aloe. To prepare this mixture you should take: 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of aloe juice and a little fat sour cream. The mixture is applied to the entire face. The neck and décolleté area may be affected. Keep the mask on for 25-35 minutes. You need to wash it off with warm water, then rinse with cold water.

A mask made from aloe and avocado juice also has a refreshing and tonic effect. Mix one tablespoon of aloe juice with mashed avocado and apply to your face. Keep this mask for about 15 minutes. Aloe for facial skin in this case will act as a moisturizer. It will saturate dry skin, but in this case it is recommended to add a couple of drops of olive oil to the mask. By the way, many other fruit masks (apricot, pineapple, etc.) will have the same effect.

Aloe for problem skin

Many women and girls suffer from rashes or excessive oily skin. Aloe will also help here. Medicinal properties and recipes are very diverse. But one of the most effective is a mask with aloe and lemon juice. The ingredients should be mixed in equal proportions and applied to the face for 20 minutes, then rinsed with cool water. After such a mask, the pores noticeably narrow and the unpleasant oily sheen is removed. The skin becomes drier, but at the same time nourished and moisturized.

If you need more “formidable artillery” in order to cope with acne, inflammation, blackheads and enlarged pores, then we recommend preparing a mask of aloe and radish. Grate the vegetable on a fine grater. Add equal amounts of sage decoction and aloe juice. Keep it on your face for about twenty minutes and wash off with cold water.

Aloe lotion

Ideal helpers for women with oily skin are alcohol tinctures. Aloe facial lotion helps tighten pores and reduce oily shine. For preparation, two parts of medical alcohol and one part of aloe pulp juice are used. The mixed ingredients are stored in a dark place for a week.

It is important to remember that alcohol is a rather aggressive substance. Therefore, it is not recommended to use such alcohol tinctures and lotions for girls whose skin is not prone to oily skin.

Aloe gel

Many women prefer various cosmetics in the form of a gel to creams. If you do not trust the production of skincare cosmetics on an industrial scale, then you can always prepare aloe gel for the face at home. It is important to remember that homemade gel is stored much less than store-bought gel. But you can be confident in its natural and safe composition, because you will make it with your own hands.

For preparation you will need: four large fleshy aloe leaves, vitamin E (sold at the pharmacy in ampoules or bottles of 5 mg), a clean mixing bowl, a jar for storing the gel and a home mixer for grinding the leaves.

So, let's prepare a face gel with aloe. Medicinal properties and recipes are described on the Internet in full, but sometimes the latter are quite labor-intensive. We chose one of the simple and quick cooking methods. There is no need to wash and dry aloe leaves in this recipe. We simply wipe them from dust and place them in a grinding container. After obtaining a homogeneous green mass, two drops of vitamin E should be added to it. It will act here not only as a useful agent, but also as a preservative, allowing the gel to last longer.

Aloe leaf gel is quite concentrated, so it should only be used diluted for the face. This homemade gel will perfectly replace store-bought options. It must be stored in the refrigerator. Shelf life – one month.

Aromatic face masks with aloe

Natural essential oils are known to have a beneficial effect on the skin. But they cannot be used as an independent remedy in their pure form. Aroma oils must be added a few drops to the cream or lotion.

Preparing a cream with aromatic oils and aloe for the face at home is very quick and easy. To do this, you will need aloe juice and essential oils of ylang-ylang, rose and lemon. Add one drop of each oil to aloe juice and apply to the face for a few minutes.

This mask will perfectly refresh the skin, tone it, and get rid of fine wrinkles. In addition, such masks are perfect for teenagers whose problematic skin needs careful cleansing and moisturizing.

Masks for mature skin

Wrinkles are an eternal problem for women of Balzac age and older. Aloe face masks against wrinkles help very effectively and quickly. In addition, with constant use, the effect will last for a long time. And the naturalness of the components included in masks and creams with aloe does not make you nervous.

Anti-wrinkle mask

One tablespoon of aloe pulp or juice is mixed with a spoon of sour cream. Before applying the product to your face, your skin should be cleansed. It is recommended to keep the mixture for no more than fifteen minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Mask for sagging skin

Any cream of yours (1 tsp) is mixed with aloe juice (1 tsp). Stir thoroughly and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Before applying this mask to your face, it must be thoroughly steamed with a hot towel. The mask should be applied along massage lines; it can be applied to the neck and décolleté area. After leaving the product on the face for 15 minutes, remove it with a cotton pad. There is no need to wash off the mask.

Anti-wrinkle mask with mustard

You have already learned how aloe is beneficial for the face. But you don’t yet know that its rejuvenating properties will increase a hundredfold if you add “hot” components to it. Substances such as red pepper tincture or mustard powder stimulate the skin, warm it up and help aloe juice penetrate faster and better affect problem areas.

Try making an anti-wrinkle mask with mustard at home. To do this you need to mix 1 tbsp. a spoonful of aloe juice with two pinches of mustard powder. After mixing, add 1 teaspoon of butter (pre-melted) and 3-5 tablespoons of St. John's wort decoction (it is better not to use bagged herbs).

This mixture, as we have already said, has a “hot” effect, so it is recommended to keep the mask on your face for no more than three minutes. After which it is easily removed by washing with cool water. It is recommended to use this mask once a week.

Firming mask for the décolleté area

So, you already know how to use aloe for your face, but we haven’t talked about problem areas such as décolleté and neck yet. Let's catch up. We invite you to prepare a mask for the décolleté and neck, which has a rejuvenating, tightening and moisturizing effect.

You will need: full-fat sour cream or heavy cream (1 tbsp), 2 tbsp. spoons of aloe juice. You can add a couple of tablespoons of softened honey to the mixture. Remember that honey is a fairly strong allergen. If you have reactions to it, then it is better to exclude it from this mask.

The mixture is applied to the problem area (neck, décolleté) for 15 minutes. It washes off easily with warm water.

Cosmetic ice with aloe

In skin care, you can use not only masks, gels and lotions based on agave, but also frozen aloe juice for the face. Reviews of cosmetic ice are extremely positive. It perfectly tones the skin, tightens it, and saturates it with nutrients while washing.

The basis for making ice is decoctions of medicinal plants. If your skin is prone to oiliness, then it is better to take a decoction of oak bark or calendula. If the skin is dry, linden, raspberry, and rose are perfect. Add a couple of teaspoons of aloe juice to the prepared medicinal decoction. Pour into specially prepared molds and place in the freezer.

Cosmetologists advise using cosmetic ice every morning while washing your face. Due to the fact that it is cold, the skin will wake up faster and become elastic. And herbal extracts and aloe juice in this ice will nourish the skin, saturate it with vitamins, tighten and smooth it.

Aloe for chapped lips

Many people suffer from such an unpleasant addiction as biting their lips during stress or licking them on the street during cold windy weather. There is no benefit from such a habit, and sometimes it can be quite difficult to get rid of it.

This is where agave juice comes to the rescue. It has a rather pronounced bitter taste, so once you apply it to your lips, you won't want to lick them anymore. It is important that when it enters the body, aloe juice has only a positive effect and even a child will not have any negative consequences from such licking.

Reviews

Many women note the extremely positive effects of aloe juice. Some people use it as an excellent remedy for sunburn. Others use aloe juice to fight wrinkles. The case is progressing very successfully, judging by the reviews on the Internet.

Beneficial properties and effect of aloe juice for the face

For home use, aloe juice for the face is most effectively isolated from plant species such as Aloe vera (Barbados) and Aloe arborescens, which are the ones most often found on most people’s windowsills. These types of aloe contain more than 200 useful components: minerals and trace elements, amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, E, group B, including B12), enzymes, polysaccharides, lignins, etc. All these components have the most beneficial effect on the skin, generally making it healthier.

With regular use, aloe intensively moisturizes the skin, normalizing the water balance in the tissues, which is an effective prevention of dehydration and dryness. Thanks to fibroblasts, aloe activates the production of its own collagen and elastin fibers, against the background of which its use has a tightening and smoothing effect, rejuvenating the skin and preventing its early withering. The use of aloe also improves complexion, protects the skin from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation, and prevents the formation of age spots.

The disinfecting and healing properties of aloe juice help to quickly eliminate cracks and other damage to the skin, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory - excellent in the fight against various skin diseases (acne or acne, psoriasis, eczema, inflammatory processes), soothing and softening - effectively eliminate all signs of irritated skin and allergies (itching, redness, allergic rashes).

This “arsenal” of beneficial properties of aloe allows it to be used on any skin, including sensitive skin prone to allergies and irritations. After application, aloe very quickly penetrates deep into the skin layers, enriching cells and tissues with oxygen and essential nutrients and nutrients.

Aloe juice is used for the face in its pure form, as part of homemade masks, tonics, and lotions. It has no contraindications. Individual intolerance is very rarely observed, then before using the product on the skin, you can try to dilute it in equal proportions with water. If this does not help, it is better to avoid using aloe.

Aloe juice preparation technique

For cosmetic purposes, the lower, fleshy part of a three-year-old aloe is suitable (the tips of the leaves will be dry). Before cutting the leaves, aloe should not be watered for at least two weeks. The cut leaves should be washed well with warm boiled water, allowed to dry on a towel, then wrapped in thick paper (the ends on both sides should be left open) and stored in the refrigerator for two weeks.

After the specified time, you can squeeze out the juice. Chop the leaves very finely into a glass bowl and add cooled boiled water in a ratio of 1:3. Cover with a lid and leave in a cool, dark place for two hours. Next, simply squeeze the mixture through gauze, filter the finished liquid again through several layers of gauze. Aloe juice obtained in this way is called biostimulated. This is due to the fact that in the absence of light and lower temperatures, aloe begins to intensively produce biologically active substances, which have a beneficial effect on the epidermis.

This juice can be stored in the refrigerator in a closed dark glass bottle for two weeks. You can use it in its pure form, prepare tonics, lotions and masks based on it.

Aloe juice for acne on the face

Aloe is an excellent helper in the fight against acne. It has an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and drying effect, effectively eliminates sebaceous plugs, preventing their reappearance.

Aloe will speed up the resorption or emergence of a painful and itchy pimple; to do this, you just need to attach a napkin soaked in biostimulated juice to the affected area and leave it overnight. The effect will not be long in coming.

Using aloe juice for skin in its pure form

Concentrated or biostimulated aloe juice is recommended for use as a daily facial wipe for especially oily and problematic skin; for dry skin, after using it, the skin should be additionally moisturized with cream. Such care will reduce inflammation, smooth out wrinkles, increase the elasticity and firmness of the epidermis, and make the skin soft and velvety.

If you do not have the opportunity to use pure juice due to the lack of aloe in the house, using a pharmaceutical composition of the same name will be suitable for facial care, only its content of useful substances will be significantly lower compared to freshly squeezed juice.
