To make your own Aloe Vera Gel

To make your own Aloe Vera Gel

To make your aloe Vera Gel at home you will need a few simple ingredients. An actual aloe plant (or a big steam off of one), 500mg of Vitamin C, and 400IU of Vitamin E. (You can buy the Vitamin E is capsules and drain those.) You will also need a container to store your gel in after you have made it.

Aloe Vera gel is made from its leaf. When you are choosing the leaf, make sure that you choose a leaf that grows toward the bottom of the plant. While cutting it try to cut it at an angle close to plant’s base. Make sure that you choose a mature plant.

Alright, you need to slice off a aloe leaf (it should be a bigger piece) and try to carefully peel off the outer skin. You can use a spoon to scoop out the gel. Now, you need to take your 500mg of Vitamin C powder (if it’s in pill form – you can crush it). You need one tablet per every 1/4 of aloe gel.

After that, get your 400IU of Vitamin E. (If it’s capsule form – poke a tiny hole with a needle) drain the contents into the mixture. Make sure that you do the same for the Vitamin E as the C, add more for every 1/4 cup of aloe juice.

Blend the whole mixture and you can store the mix in glass jars. Prefer dark colored glass as it prevents light from getting in. Store it in the refrigerator and the home made Aloe Vera gel will last as long as eight months.
