Tips & Other Info.
If you have small cuts or burns cut a piece of the leave and use the gel on the inside of the leaf and rub it all over the area.
If you have the plant, cut a whole leaf, scrape the gel in a blender, and blend for a couple of minutes till it is not foamy anymore. Pour into a small ice cube tray and freeze. Use it as a facial moisturizer or if you have a cut, just rub it on. (If you are going to use it as a facial moisturizer usually i put a couple of drops of rosewater in there, gives a better scent too).
