[DIY] To the person yesterday who mentioned trying aloe vera straight from the plant - THANK YOU!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hi SCA!In the comments of the aloe vera post yesterday, someone mentioned how useful the plant itself is. I have a bunch of them growing outside that I use to treat sunburn (or did, before discovering SCA and becoming much more responsible...) but had never thought of just using it for general skin concerns.I have combo skin which has been acting up like mad this last week, so in the spirit of curiosity I ripped off a 'leaf' (stem?) before bed and smeared its insides all over my face. Talk about metal, right? I put my usual moisturiser on over that, just in case.This morning, my skin is probably the smoothest it has ever been. I have to remind myself not to touch it. Also, I can barely see my pores at all, for once! It could be a coincidence, but I can't see any blackheads either. Absolutely chuffed about this.Time to hit up the gardening centre and maybe actually weed these things once in a while. Thanks to the person who mentioned them, and if anyone has any experience with sensitisation or other things to be aware of when using it regularly, I'd love to learn more.
