Homemade Aloe gel

Aloe's properties are endless and the use that are given to its leaves today are just as endless as well. I like to use it to enrich my personal care products, hair care and soaps. I like to use it for homemade remedies as well. It is so good you can use it plain over your skin and experience the gigantic difference and feel how thankful your skin will be!
It is very simple to make the gel. Some of you might not like it, but it you are able to get over the stickiness and the characteristic smell of fresh aloe you will receive its enormous benefits.

First thing, rinse it with some fresh water to remove any dirt from the garden. Cut off the edges, they are very pointy.

Next, cut the skin off. if you have a big leave, it will be easier, if you have a small one you can leave the skin on. It is your own preference.

Once you have it ready, start chopping ...

and chopping ...

and more chopping ... There will be some liquid as well, don't worry, try to keep it all together and keep on chopping until you have the consistency you want.

I made this one for the exclusive use of my hair care, so I was not trying really hard to chop it the finest possible. It will be sticky but you will love the softness it gives to your skin, and even you will immediately notice the change in your hair ... specially if you are expose to the sun very often!
