Masoor dal is the best exfoliating agent that nature has to offer. And when it is teamed with the very versatile Aloe, it gives you a face pack perfect for summer skin.

Banana is rich in fats, which helps hydrate your skin and keeps it moisturised.

When you combine it with aloe vera, it also reduces sunburn and works doubly well for fighting signs of ageing.

To prepare this mask, you’ll need 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel, 1 tablespoon finely shredded carrot and 1 egg white. Combine all three and beat the mixture till it turns frothy. Apply it on the face using a brush and let it dry before rinsing with warm water.

FAQs about aloe vera face packs

Q. Can I sleep with aloe vera on my face?

A. Yes, you can definitely sleep with aloe vera on your face. In fact, letting it sit on your face overnight will give you the maximum benefits of this natural elixir. It will exfoliate dead skin cells, lighten your skin and moisturise it well.

Q. Is aloe vera good for wrinkles?

Q. How long does fresh aloe vera gel last?

A. As it is with any freshly extracted product, the earlier you use it, the better it is. However, you can store fresh aloe vera gel for 7-10 days. Store it in an airtight container in a cool place and use it within 10 days of extracting it. You can even freeze the gel into ice cubes for longer shelf life, but we recommend using it up within 1-2 weeks.

Q. What are the side effects of aloe vera?

A. Aloe vera is that one product that can soothe the skin and work beautifully on it. However, in very rare cases, the only side effect of using it topically is that it might irritate your skin. This is especially true if you have burns or cuts on the skin already. So, a patch test on the forearm before using aloe vera on your face might be helpful.
