    Default Tell Me What You Do With Aloe Vera Gel!

    So I just bought a large jug of this stuff at my natural store and I am eager to use it. It was recommended to me for helping my hair to stay in place, but I was wondering what you all do with it. Do you use it for skin? (I've heard it can be used in place of moisturizer) Body wash? Hair treatment? Hair mist? I"m eager to hear what other people do as I start experimenting myself.

    Slather it all over me and smirk to myself knowing I will stay this pale forever.

    I use the aloe gel on my face. It helps smooth facial lines . I also put some in my conditioner.
    It makes your hair baby soft. A capful or two is all you need to add. It makes your hair
    baby soft. I read it also promtes hair growth. Hope that helps.

    Rake it into wet hair to use it as a gel. When it's dry, I scrunch out the crunch.

    I use mine as a moisturizer for my face. I mix a few drops of apricot oil with a squirt of the aloe. I also use this mixture to tame frizz.

    I use it as a moisturizer, burn salve, rub it into my scalp, normal hair and skin stuff. But I also made hand sanitizer. 3/4c isopropyl alcohol, 1/4c avg, a bit of glycerine and 8 drops tea tree oil.

    I run it through my length when my hair is wet, it makes it so nice and soft.

    I also use it as a moisturizer after washing my face.

    Mix it with my leave-in conditioner and use it as a moisturizer for my skin. Wonderful stuff.

    My hair hates it. It gives me the worst split ends. Additionally, it turns out that I am allergic to aloe vera. So, I gave up on it.
    Change is the only constant.

    I tried it as a moisturizer, but it left my skin too dry. So, I've been mixing it 50/50 with my moisturizer, and I like it that way. It keeps my facial lotion from being too rich. I also mix it with coconut oil and use it as a leave in after I wash it.
