Mix equal parts of aloe vera gel and sweet almond oil in a container. Mix it thoroughly and apply every night with clean finger tips to have smoother skin around your eye area. It will also diminish the appearance of eye bags when you're feeling a little extra sleep deprived.
Did you know that aloe vera can also help with hair growth? As such, it makes for a great DIY lash and brow serum. Combine equal parts of castor oil and aloe vera gel. You can apply it to your lashes and brows directly with a Q-Tip, brush or spoolie.
Prevent razor bumps and enjoy seriously silky-smooth skin by making your own shaving gel. Mix three parts aloe vera gel and one part olive oil together and apply directly to skin — then just get shaving!
Remove deep-seated dirt and dead cells from your skin by exfoliating with a DIY aloe vera scrub. Mix a half cup of aloe vera gel and quarter cup of brown sugar granules. (You can also add some coconut oil for a more moisturizing mixture.) Gently massage into skin for five minutes, then wash it off — and enjoy your newly glowy complexion.
Aloe vera also does a good job of fighting dandruff. You can directly apply aloe vera gel to the roots of your hair at night then rinse it off the next morning. Tip: Make sure your hair is wet before the application.
