Before going into the details of those store-bought products, let me tell you, you can also use the aloe-vera gel directly from plants.
So how to use the aloe-vera directly from the plant?
You need to take the leaf of a full-grown aloe-vera plant, remove the thorns from the side. Extract the gel and it's good to use. You can use the gel directly on the face or hair. If you have acne issues, mix 2-3 drops of tea tree oil with the gel and apply to the acne spots and see them reducing over a while. This is the absolute best way to treat teenage acne and pimples.
