  • Brown sugar (where to get it)
  • Olive oil (where to get it)
  • Lavender essential oil (where to get it)
  • Peppermint essential oil (where to get it)

Proportion

  • Aloe Vera Gel: 1 medium sized leaf
  • Brown sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Olive oil: 2-3 drops or juice of a fresh lemon
  • Lavender essential oil: 12 drops
  • Peppermint essential oil: 8 drops

(Adjust the proportions according to your requirements)

How to Extract Aloe Vera Gel

  • Take a freshly cut medium sized Aloe Vera leaf and slice it off laterally from the middle.
  • Remove the latex properly as it can severely affect your health causing diarrhea and indigestion.
  • Extract the gel using a spoon and take it in a bowl.
  • Wash off the excess slime under running water.

Procedure

  • In a bowl, take the necessary amount of extracted Aloe Vera gel and smash it evenly.
  • To the gel, add the entire quantity of brown sugar and thoroughly mix both the ingredients.
  • To the mixture now add the required amount of olive oil and mix it evenly in the bowl. Olive oil nourishes the skin and keeps it hydrated for a long time. However, if you have oily skin, prefer lemon over olive oil and blend the mixture with the juice of a fresh lemon. Lemon juice exfoliates the skin and removes excess oil and dark spots.

  • Take the DIY Aloe Vera body scrub in your palm and apply it evenly all over your body.
  • Use your index and middle finger and gently massage it in a circular motion. While massaging your face and neck, start from your nose and direct the motion towards your cheekbones.
  • Massage the mixture thoroughly over the applied areas for 5-10 minutes.
  • Dip a clean and soft towel in lukewarm water and gently wipe off the exfoliating mask from the applied areas.
  • Wash your face and body with cold running water to close the pores completely.
