Aloe vera can cause facial problems if you don't use it in right way

There will hardly be any house in India where an aloe vera plant is not planted. It is not only used as a herb. But many problems related to skin and hair can also be overcome by its use. Most people think that they can use aloe vera without anyone's advice, while it is not so.

Even though aloe vera is generally considered beneficial for the skin, if it is not used properly, it can also increase facial problems for some people. Here we are going to tell you about this. Here we will tell you the right way to use aloe vera.

Patch test is required

People feel that there is no such allergy caused by home remedies. Hence, you may use it at any time. But this is not like that. You should also do a patch test for applying aloe vera. For this, first apply aloe vera on the inner area of the hand and test it. If you don't have any sort of allergy for 24 hours, then use it only.

Try to keep the gel fresh

These days, there are several companies marketing aloe vera gel in the market, which is likely to have a chemical blend in it. In this scenario, you should attempt to use only fresh aloe vera gel. In case it is not fresh, then there are chances that its application may create a reaction on the skin.

Take care of the time

Despite not having much danger of allergy or infection with aloe vera, but still, take extra care about the time while applying. Don't apply it on your face for over half an hour. Apply it only at night on the prescription of a skin specialist, otherwise it may enhance your issue.

Use two to three times a week

Never use aloe vera on the face on a daily basis. It is not suitable for all. In place of applying it daily, you will have to apply it only two or three times a week, so that there would not be any danger of any form of allergy.

Wash your face first before applying

If you are applying aloe vera on your face, then first wash the face with a proper face wash. This will remove dirt on your face and then only will aloe vera have a proper effect on your face.
