We spend a bomb on various cosmetics for our daily skin care,we end up to beauty parlors for facial on various occasions just to get that glow on our skin and still don’t get satisfied with it. There are variety of products available but we end up getting confused . We try some products but we are not happy with the results. You know what we forget our Dadimaa Nuskaas and home remedies which are cheap and the benefits are humungus.
Let me share with you some of my secrets for my glowing skin 🙂 lol.
I am talking about Aloevera (Ghritkumari) Face pack which you can make at home by yourself and use it daily for healthy and glowing skin.
First Step: Cut a leaf of Aloevera right at the base with a Sharp Knife. Now Place the Aloevera leaf on a plate and let it rest for 15 to 20 mins as there will be a yellow fluid flowing once you cut the leaf . The yellow fluid is called Sap let it ooze out . Now wash the Leaf thoroughly under running water to remove the yellow fluid.
Second Step: Take a Knife and cut the edges of Aloevera Plant as it will consist sharp thorns which might hurt you so be careful while cutting it. The thicker leaf you take the thicker will be the extract of Aloevera Gel. Please peel off the green layer of Aloevera Plant with the help of Knife from both sides. Once you are ensured both the green layer skin of Aloevera Plant has removed than you will see a white colour or transparent substance.
Third Step: The Transparent substance is nothing but the Aloevera Gel which you need to dice properly and keep aside. Now add 1 Tablespoon Haldi(Turmeric),2 Tablespoon Honey, Few drops of Pure Rose Water,few drops of glycerine. Blend all this to form a paste in the grinder. Now Refrigerate this pack and use it daily . Keep this pack for about 20 to 30 mins until it dries on your skin. Now wash your face thoroughly with water.
Tips:
Don’t add water while grinding Aloevera paste as Aloevera consist of moisture.
Be careful while peeling edges of the Aloe Plant.
Your skin will glow become smooth ,soft and clear if used daily. I use it and my face glows so yours will glow too :). Aloevera pack if applied regularly also fights aginst anti ageing,reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Aloevera Pack also takes care of Sun Burn,Sun Tan if used daily
I use Aloevera Pack on a daily basis and I have a sensitive skin but my skin glows because I use Aloevera quite frequently. I have two Aloevera Plants grown on my terrace. Do start growing Aloevera Plants in your balcony, terrace. Aloevera also consumes less water and easily available in the market also grows fast. Please use Aloevera Pack daily and share with me your feedbacks.

irfan says
I want glow my full body plzz give some tipes
mishi says
aloe vera with honey or lemon juice..is it good for skin? i heard that honey creates allergy in oily skin
n lemon juice makes our complexion
dull n it burns our skin. Is dat true?
maria says
Mishi pure honey is great for skin and so is lime juice but use few drops of lime juice if you have a sensitive skin. Hope this helps and when you use lime juice with honey it gets diluted thereby it shouldn’t burn your skin.

Paulpat says
Afternoon,
I am guy aged 35 and always worried about my face. During my early years had a fine complexioned face, but ever since started to experience black heads and pimples which I used to press them out trying to remove them, the other part of my face developed dark marks which I tried different treatments to remove them but no changes at all.
Can you please help me with your magical skin therapy to remove those dark marks on my face!!
Thanks
maria says
I am sorry Paul would request you to consult a skin specialist

Hi
Your mixture seems to be thick. But mines become liquid and it flows like stream. It does not settle at my face. Can I use soap after using that mask? And Can I add some ‘uptan’ (multani mati) with that mixture?

You could add little multani mitti to make it thicker that’s alright.

Swati says
Hi Maria,
My concern is regarding hair fall, from last 3 weeks i am loosing my hairs in bunch.While doing hair wash, oiling and every time i comb. Please suggest something,,I am so worried.
maria says
Swati hairfall could be for many reasons like stress, lack of vitamins, lack of sleep, food intake, dryness of hair,genetic factors etc. Don’t take a risk consult a Hair Or Skin specialist. Meanwhile you could eat almonds, white-black sesame seeds in morning. Use good brand shampoo and while oiling mix some castor oil to coconut oil and massage lightly on your scalp wash off after 30 mins. Also aloevera pulp is great for hair you could massage some aloevera pulp on your scalp leave overnight and wash morning. Hope this helps you 🙂

maria says
Hafiza if you read my post I have mentioned to use fresh aloevera pulp and not readymade packs. Also we would not know what ingredients they have added to the pack that is darkening your skin. You could use curd with little turmeric to reduce tan apply on your skin for 20 mins and rinse it. Also stop using that pack. Hope this helps you 🙂
elu says

maria says
Elu you could keep aloevera pulp for some time and wash Or keep overnight it’s upto you ! I use aloevera overnight my skin is good however it’s upto you.

maria says
Ammu you can use this daily and even if you stop it has no side effects. Honey doesn’t grey your hair but if you wish you can consult with a doctor before taking a risk. Hope this helps you 🙂
Natalia says
This mask sounds amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I’ve already run downstairs (aloe vera grows everywhere over here) cut some serious aloe vera leaves and waiting for the sap to ooze out! I don’t have other ingredients on hand so im going to try just the aloevera for a start. Out of interest, what do all the other ingredients actually do? And Tumeric..? Doesn’t it color your skin? I use it in cooking and it ALWAYS leaves yellow stains on everything..
maria says
Thanks Natalia 🙂 …………. The other ingredients enhances the mask effect and make skin smoother and soft. In Ayurveda turmeric has antiseptic and healing properties. You can add a pinch of turmeric in that case. In case it leaves your skin yellow just apply some coconut Or olive oil to your face and wipe with cotton. All the yellow color will come out. Hope this helps you.
Farzana says
plz tell me how to use aloe on acne.
maria says
Hi Farzana,
Aloevera is good for all skin types. But I am not sure for acne. It would be advisable if you could consult a skin doctor.
Regards,
Maria
GULZAR says
how to make juice of aleo veera for drinking
maria says
Gulzar it would be better if you drink the manufactured juice from various brands available in the market as to make aloevera juice at home is a difficult task.
Uma says
Can i use this for my daughter who is 8 yr old. she has very dry skin on face and hands?
maria says
Hey Uma,
Aloevera is beneficial for all age and skin types. But you do a small patch test on her elbows and check out is she allergic to it. If yes please consult as skin specialist if not than try using aloevera. best of luc.
Thanks,
Maria
