I started with one aloe plant many years ago and have split off baby shoots and given away plants. There are many products on the shelf that contain aloe that work well - but having a plant available to use daily is economical and natural. Snip off an entire fleshy leaf or just a tip, depending on how much you need. Cut it open on the side and pull apart, it has a cool, moist feeling when applied.
Aloe is generally safe for skin, but it is suggested to apply first to a small test area for possible allergic reaction. Use for:
- Sunburn or just a little red.
- Cuts and scrapes.
- Burns.
- Dry, chapped hands (I apply to my hands at bedtime).
