📝 Ingredients & Tools Needed
- 1 fresh aloe vera leaf
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional, for extra hydration & anti-aging benefits)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for skin brightening & preservation)
- A knife & spoon
- A blender
- A clean glass jar or container
🔧 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut & Prepare the Aloe Leaf
- Wash the aloe vera leaf thoroughly.
- Using a sharp knife, cut off the spiky edges on both sides.
- Slice the leaf open lengthwise to expose the gel inside.
2. Extract the Aloe Gel
- Use a spoon to gently scrape out the clear aloe gel.
- Avoid scooping out the yellowish latex near the skin—it can be irritating.
3. Blend Until Smooth
- Place the fresh aloe gel in a blender.

- Blend for 30-60 seconds until it becomes a smooth, gel-like consistency.
4. Store Your Aloe Vera Gel
- Pour the gel into a clean, airtight container.
- Refrigerate for up to 1 week (since it’s fresh, it won’t last as long as store-bought gels).
