-
Rinsing:
- After the specified time, rinse your face with water.

Benefits of Aloe Vera
- Soothing: Aloe vera has natural soothing properties that can help calm irritated skin.
- Moisturizing: It helps keep the skin hydrated, promoting healing.
- Healing: Aloe vera's compounds support skin repair and regeneration.
Tips for Effective Treatment
- Consistency is key: Apply aloe vera gel regularly for optimal results.
- Fresh Aloe is Best: Using fresh aloe vera gel straight from the leaf provides the most potent benefits.
- Patch Test: Do a small patch test on your skin before applying it to a larger area to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction.
