How to Use Aloe Juice As an Astringent

Aloe is an effective astringent that can be used on the skin of your face and neck. Astringents are products that tighten pores and remove oil from the skin and aloe works especially well because it also keeps your skin moisturized. Combine fresh aloe and additives, like lemon juice and chamomile oil, to make a wonderful astringent mixture. Applying this mixture to your face and neck will naturally freshen and preserve your skin.

1.Creating an Astringent

1.Blend harvested aloe for 1 to 2 minutes to create an astringent gel. Put the aloe into a blender or food processor to get a smooth product to use on your skin. When blended, it will create a thick aloe juice perfect for astringent purposes.

  • Use as much aloe as you like. However, 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) is more than enough to cover your face and neck.
  • Once blended, pour it into a sealed container and store it inside your refrigerator for up to a week.

2. Add lemon juice to the aloe to make a refreshing astringent mask. Place 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe gel into a blender or food processor along with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) of fresh lemon juice. Lemon juice is another astringent, which will improve the astringent qualities of your aloe juice. Moreover, the lemon juice will prevent your aloe gel from oxidizing.

  • If you want to create a larger batch of aloe juice, simply use more aloe gel and more lemon juice, maintaining a ratio of 2 parts aloe gel to 1 part lemon juice.
  • It should stay fresh for about a week in an air-tight container in the fridge. Discard it at the first sign of browning or oxidation.

3. Combine chamomile oil with aloe for a pleasantly scented astringent. There are many things that you can put in your mixture to add more astringency and chamomile is a great choice. Put 10 drops of chamomile oil and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of aloe in a blender or food processor. Combine the ingredients until the mixture is smooth, which usually takes just 2 to 3 pulses of a blender or food processor.

  • Chamomile oil is another astringent. It also has a nice smell and contributes vitamins and antioxidants that prevent damage to the skin.
  • This mixture should stay good for at least a week if stored in an air-tight container in the fridge.
