Apply aloe juice or simply wipe the skin with the peeled stem and leave to dry for 15-20 minutes.

You should always wash off aloe juice with warm water without soap.

If you experience any unpleasant sensations during or after wiping your face with aloe juice, you should dilute it with water in a 1:1 ratio next time or stop using it altogether due to individual intolerance.

Literally the next day everything went away, not only that, the entire skin of my face became so clean and pink.

This is where my experiments with aloe began.

The benefits of honey and aloe

Aloe has taken a strong position and is actively used in cosmetology. This plant can be called truly universal, because it is suitable for both oily and dry skin, cares for both an aged face and fights youth problems.

The main secret of the beneficial effects of aloe lies in allantoin, a natural compound found in the leaves of the succulent. This substance is able to penetrate deep into the epidermis and deliver nutrients to cells, and it also has amazing moisturizing properties. Aloe pulp is also rich in other biologically active components, there are more than 200 of them. Vitamins (beta-carotene, E, C, group B), pectins, amino acids and enzymes are of particular importance.

relieves inflammation and heals wounds;
tightens, gives elasticity and firmness to aging skin;
smoothes out small wrinkles;
tones, nourishes and softens;
cleanses and disinfects;
stimulates the production of elastin and collagen;

Honey goes well with aloe; together these components make a stunning union. The beekeeping product enhances the beneficial properties of the plant and complements them. It improves complexion and activates blood circulation, saturates the epidermis with vitamins and enzymes, rejuvenates, moisturizes and maintains the beauty of the skin.
