Lifestyle Desk: People use many types of skin care products to keep facial skin soft and fresh, but it is not necessary that every product available in the market is suitable for every skin type. In such a situation, some people like to prepare easy skin care remedies from the things available at home. Rose gel made from rose and aloe vera is also one such home option. This gel prepared from rose petals and aloe vera gel can help in keeping the skin hydrated and making the face feel fresh. It is also quite easy to make it at home. Let us know how to make it and how to apply it on the face.
These things are needed to make daily gel
To make rose gel at home, you will need some rose petals, fresh aloe vera gel and clean water. If possible, use clean roses without any added chemicals instead of roses treated with chemicals or perfumes. If you are using aloe vera leaf, remove its yellow latex thoroughly and use only clean gel.
How to make rose gel?
First of all, wash the rose petals thoroughly with clean water. Now heat them with some water on low flame for a few minutes, so that the natural color and some components of the rose come into the water. Let the mixture cool and then filter it.
After this, take clean aloe vera gel and mix a small amount of prepared rose water in it. Blend or mix both well and prepare a gel-like consistency. Keep it in a clean and dry airtight container. Such mixtures prepared at home do not contain preservatives, so instead of keeping it at room temperature for a long time, keep it in the refrigerator and make it in small quantities.
How to apply on face?
Before applying the gel daily, clean the face with a mild cleanser. Now take a small amount of gel and apply it gently on the face and neck. Spread it slowly instead of rubbing it. If it suits your skin then leave it for some time and wash as per need.
If you apply it during the day, then do not forget to use your normal moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. This gel is not a substitute for sunscreen.
Skin can get these benefits
Aloe vera has skin hydrating and cooling properties, while rose water can make the skin feel fresh. Therefore, this gel can help dry or tired skin retain moisture and make the skin feel soft. However, it cannot be claimed to change the skin color permanently or turn it pink immediately. The glow and color of the skin depend on many things.
Patch test necessary before use
Just because it is a home remedy does not mean that it will not cause any reaction to every person's skin. Rose or aloe vera may cause irritation, redness, or allergies in some people. Therefore, before using it for the first time, do a patch test by applying a small amount on the inner part of the hand or behind the ear. If irritation, itching or redness appears, do not use it on the face. If there is already any allergy, wound, infection or serious problem on the skin, then it is better to consult a dermatologist instead of applying home mixture.
keep the gel clean
Rose gel prepared at home does not contain preservatives that keep it safe for a long time like market cosmetics. Therefore, keep it in a clean container, do not remove the gel with dirty hands and do not use it if its smell, color or texture changes. It is more practical to make small quantities and use them quickly.
In this way, you can include the gel prepared from rose and aloe vera in your skin care routine. However, it should not be considered a substitute for any medical treatment and it is important to seek expert advice in case of any skin problem.
