Tip description / details:
In our home growing up, we always had aloe vera cactus. My plants are now third generation. Few people know that the active ingredients in aloe vera gel are often destroyed in the shipment and/or processing of the lotion/gel. Many products listing aloe vera provide little of the active ingredients. I learned to just break off a piece of stem, peel and apply the gel to the face. it feels sticky but the next morning, your face is soft and glowing. This is especially good for sunburn or irritation. Chill first!
