How I Use My Aloe Vera Gel

How I Use My Aloe Vera Gel | Lenne Zulkiflly
You have probably heard about aloe vera and its wonders. Apparently, it is a magical plant that has an enormous number of benefits. I have been on my healthy skin journey because of aloe vera. It has become my favourite skincare discovery. I am obsessed with anything aloe vera basically because it is THAT good.

How I Use My Aloe Vera Gel | Lenne Zulkiflly
Anyway, this is the aloe vera gel I am currently using. I definitely used the heck out of this gigantic tube! I got this baby from Guardian for RM20, and you can get this at Guardian and apparently online too. You can totally make any aloe vera gel work, be it from a different brand or straight from the plant, but my skin loves this one so much! Aloe vera has 1001 benefits and these are the ways I use my aloe gel for:

Treating puffiness 

Aloe vera is very much helpful in treating the puffiness of your eyes. Just grab aloe vera gel and dab it on your under-eye area. It helps a lot, especially in the morning. 

Healing wounds

If you have any wounds, blisters or cuts (like I always do) on your skin, just rub the aloe vera gel gently on the affected area to heal them fast. It is true because I have tried it quite a few times ;)

A lip treatment 

You guys know my drying... It is the worst that can happen to me because I love to rock liquid lipstick. To combat dry and chapped lips, I just apply the aloe vera gel on the lips to hydrate and heal them. Sometimes when I feel extra fancy-schmancy, I love to mix it with a little bit of olive oil and it works wonders as a lip balm! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Removing dandruff 

I know that aloe vera gel is very multi-purpose and multifunction. So I tried to apply the gel in the front area of my hair and scalp and tell you what, it did a great job at removing my stubborn dandruff! 

Soothe sunburn

Aloe vera gel is the perfect remedy for sunburned skin because it has cooling properties and is anti-inflammatory. It heals the skin from layer to layer and helps to retain moisture from there. I go to campus by motorcycle, so aloe vera gel is definitely a gem because it gets the job done y'know. I apply it all over the face, hands, arms, and feet. No sunburn skin no more! 

A makeup remover

I have had a hard time finding the best makeup remover for my skin because I have an oily skin type and most makeup removers at stores are oil-based. So, I have a friend that uses aloe vera gel as her makeup remover and I thought maybe I can give it a go. And yes gurl, it is a simple and effective alternative if you are facing the same problem as me. I just dip my cotton pad into the aloe vera gel and swipe away the day. It does not feel sticky, greasy or whatsoever. So fresh so clean!

A moisturizer 

If you don't already know, aloe vera gel can also act as a moisturizer. I have been using my aloe gel as a moisturizer and I have been incorporating it into my skincare routine for years now. It suits well my skin, I have had a hard time finding the perfect moisturizer for my skin type and I guess this one will do.

  1. Fatin pulak tak boleh sapu gel aloe vera tu kat muka banyak sangat, contohnya seluruh muka la. Ni pakai yang dari pokok lidah buaya tu. hehe sebab kat rumah fatin tanam pokok tu. Ada jugak dengar-dengar aloe vera gel ni boleh hilangkan parut jerawat. Tak tahu betul-betul berkesan atau tak. Belum konsisten pakai lagi. Hehehe :D

    1. Yes babe. Aloe vera can be used before applying makeup. Just apply a thin layer until it absorbs into the skin and your face will feel slightly tacky then just continue with your makeup routine :)
