How to choose aloe vera gel

1. Look

1. Look at the bottle against the light. Most aloe vera gels will have bubbles. There are several possible reasons for the bubbles:

The internal materials are oxidizing and producing gas. The internal materials are oxidized and the effective ingredients will be discounted;

There are always bubbles even when the product leaves the factory. This could be because air or impurities have entered during the canning process. Regardless of whether it is air or impurities, it means that the product is not up to standard.

2. Look at the color and transparency.

The best quality is to remove the green skin and extract only the aloe vera core, which is completely transparent. It can be said that the aloe vera liquid extracted from the aloe vera core is currently the best.

If the aloe vera is crushed with the skin and flesh and then the aloe vera juice is extracted, it will be light green (with a hint of yellow). This green is different from the general pigment green. Although it has a green color, it is also very transparent.

Also, aloe vera gel is light yellow in color. The light yellow color indicates that the texture is impure and that the internal ingredients may be easily oxidized.

Currently, there are only a few aloe vera gels on the market that use high-purity aloe vera core flesh (peeled) extract. The process is the most complicated, so the cost is the highest, and few businesses will use it.

3. Observe the water separation. Squeeze out a little aloe vera gel on a tissue paper and observe the area around the aloe vera gel that is wetted by watermarks. If the watermarks are obvious, it means that the aloe vera gel of this texture is not water-soluble enough, which means that the gel-like inner material of this aloe vera gel is generally made of water and aloe vera extract, and the additives rather than the aloe vera itself are responsible for the effect.

4. Look at the bottle mouth. If you add gel or coagulant to achieve a gel-like effect, the aloe vera gel at the bottle mouth will solidify into a gel, just like glue that dries and forms an elastic strip. You can imagine what this kind of aloe vera gel will do if you apply it on your face.

2. Smell

Smell. If the general aloe vera gel has a distinct aloe vera smell, it is almost certain that it is the smell of the essence. During the extraction process, it is impossible for the aloe vera to retain such a strong smell. Or if you smell the smell of freshly cut aloe vera, you can be sure that the obvious aloe vera smell of the aloe vera gel is the essence. On the contrary, if the aloe vera gel smells lightly of aloe vera, very weakly, it may be the smell of the real aloe vera extract.

3. Use

Aloe vera gel has a wide range of uses, so it is called "all-purpose glue". You can feel the effect of aloe vera gel by applying it on your skin. It absorbs quickly, has a uniform texture, and is non-irritating. Aloe vera gel with good texture can not only moisturize, relieve itching, insect bites, repair after sun exposure, repair and moisturize after shaving, relieve sensitivity, but can also be used with other creams and skin care products to make facial masks and hand masks, but the premise is: it must be a high-quality aloe vera gel.

The correct order of using aloe vera gel

The order of aloe vera gel in skin care steps should be: cleansing - toning - applying aloe vera gel

Cleansing

Before applying aloe vera gel, you should clean your face first, because the skin can easily absorb dust, especially for people who often use computers and mobile phones. If you apply aloe vera gel directly without cleansing your face, dirt can easily accumulate in the pores and cause skin problems.

Toning

The molecules of aloe vera gel are relatively large, and direct application is not conducive to the absorption of aloe vera gel. After cleansing, you should apply toner first, moisten the skin initially, and then apply aloe vera gel to help the aloe vera gel be better absorbed.

How to distinguish the quality of aloe vera gel

1. Use fire to distinguish the true from the false

The easiest way to distinguish real aloe vera gel from fake is to heat it with fire. Take a little gel and put it on a spoon. You can heat it with a gas stove or a lighter. If the gel remains transparent, it is real. If it becomes translucent, it is fake aloe vera gel.

2. Check whether there are bubbles in the aloe vera gel

If you see bubbles, the colloid may have produced gas due to oxidation, and the effective ingredients may have been relatively weakened. Another type of bubbles may be caused by air entering during the packaging process, or impurities are present, so they exist when leaving the factory. Aloe vera gel with bubbles is not good enough.

3. Check the color and transparency of the colloid

The aloe vera liquid extracted from the aloe vera core is a completely transparent colloid. This is the best aloe vera gel, with the highest purity and quality. If the skin is extracted, it will be light green, and the transparency of the colloid is also quite high, but the quality is lower than that of pure transparent colloid. If the colloid is light yellow, it means that the texture is oxidized or not pure enough.

4. Use a paper towel to test and analyze the moisture content

Put an appropriate amount of aloe vera gel on a paper towel and check whether the paper towel around the colloid is moist. If the wet paper towel does not penetrate, it means that the gel is made of aloe vera extract and water. Its beauty effect does not come from the aloe vera itself, but from other additives, so the purity is not high.

How to use aloe vera gel

When moisturizing cream

When using as a face cream, do not use too much. Press the mask more to allow the skin to fully absorb it. If you use too much, the skin cannot absorb it completely, which can easily cause mud. Because of the aloe polysaccharide, aloe vera gel may feel a little sticky when used. In winter, the moisturizing effect after applying aloe vera gel may not be enough, and it will feel a little dry. It is best to use other creams or lotions after using aloe vera gel. It is very good to use in summer, it is hydrating and not greasy, very refreshing, and very comfortable to use.

Make a facial mask

After cleansing, apply a thick layer of aloe vera gel as a base, and then apply a paper mask soaked in aloe vera juice, pure dew, or other non-irritating water. Remove it after about 20 minutes. The skin will feel fully hydrated, hydrated and tender. Aloe vera gel has a very good repairing effect and can repair damaged skin tissue, making the skin smooth and elastic, wrinkles significantly reduced, and the skin whitened.

Repair acne

For mature pimples with pustules, you can squeeze out the pustules with clean hands, and then apply aloe vera gel on the wound. You can use a little more, which is very effective for the quick recovery of the pimples.

Hydrating Eye Mask

When the area around your eyes is dry or puffy, apply refrigerated soothing gel onto a cotton pad and apply it around your eyes to relieve dryness and puffiness.

Aloe vera gel mixed with primer

Aloe vera gel can be mixed with primer in a ratio of 2:1 before use. This way it will not form mud and is very moisturizing. You will not feel that the primer is too thick or dry. Aloe vera gel itself also has a certain isolation effect. The isolation effect will be better when the two are mixed, making it easier to apply makeup and making the makeup more natural and lustrous.

After-sun repair

In summer, keep this product in the refrigerator. When your skin is sunburned or sunburned, soak the mask paper in the soothing gel and apply it on your face for about 15 minutes before removing it. This can effectively soothe the sunburn irritation. (You can also use a thick layer on your face without the mask paper, keep it on for about 15 minutes, and then wipe off the gel that cannot be completely absorbed)

Effective freckle removal

Just dilute aloe vera gel with water in a ratio of 1:3 after washing your face and apply it evenly on your face. Massage more on the spots to promote skin absorption and enhance odor circulation. Apply 3 times a day. The two times during the day should not be too thick, but the application before going to bed can be thicker. Note that it takes at least 3 months to be effective in removing spots.
