Recipe To Make Your Own Aloe Vera Gel
Firstly get a nice size Aloe Vera plant from a reputable plant nursery. Cut a few thick fleshy leaves at the base near the stem. Rinse the cut part of the leaf thoroughly, peel off outer layer of skin. Rinse the remaining gel to get rid of any latex residue. Put the gel into a blender and add a little Vitamin C powder or Citric Acid powder to stabilize the gel. If it is too thick to blend, just add a little purified water.

Most of us take water for granted but without water we would die! On a less “final” note, we certainly need water if we are to fight acne. As it is most likely that you have a ready source of water, there is no reason why you shouldn’t benefit from this vital, most basic natural acne remedy.
The human body is composed of 70% water. It is literally the driving force of most of the body’s natural functions and is involved in almost every one of the bodily processes. Water is essential, therefore, to maintaining good health, both inside and outside i.e. in maintaining a clean, healthy skin. It is a vital component of everything that affects our acne, so, consequently, it has to be the simplest and most basic natural acne remedy that we have.
Let’s consider why water is so important.
Most obviously we all need to wash and keeping our faces clean is particularly important for acne sufferers.
Secondly and possibly most importantly, water is essential in removing waste products from the body. In this respect, it is probably the most significant contributory factor in healing acne and preventing acne flare ups. If you do not take in sufficient water then the toxins, which are one of the major causes of acne breakouts, build up as they do not get flushed away.
So, it is strongly recommended that we drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. In this way we effectively flush out the toxins that otherwise would naturally escape through the pores of our skin … thus preventing acne breakouts.
