I just blended 2 leaves of aloe with 2 table spoons of olive oil, and put it in a shampoo bottle. I have not kept it refrigerated, how long will it last until it goes bad?

[darkvibes2k8]

Hey, do you know how to like make a leaf cutting and grow a dupe of the orgional aloe plant? if so can you upload a video please would be reallll usefull :) thanks

[Kinghercules]

Now I cut off an aloe leaf and tasted it and that shit was horrible!!! It didnt taste anything like it does in the bottle.

[Desaundrea]

yeah lol it is the yellow liquid that makes it taste horrible lol. they remove that part when they bottle the aloe juice and gel pack for you, you can counter the taste with honey or sugar. lol

thanks.

[lamya83]

can this gel be used directly on face & hair?what other ways can i preserve it?

thanks

[Desaundrea]

Yes it can be used on the hair like a normal gel when blended a little. I don't know about the face...

Besides keeping it in a dark bottle with either citric acid or lemon juice, your only other option is chemical preservatives.

@lamya83 u can use the aloe vera plant and apply it to the face. u can apply it as a mask at night and in the morning ur skin will feel awesome.

it also helps with acne a lot, sunburns, redness, cuts. aloe cures a lot of things, people just dont know its affectivenes.

[Desaundrea]

@GustavoMorenoo Thank for the face info. I have never had to use it on my face lol. I use it on my cuts and burns...lots of burns...I am really clumsy around the stove. I will try it as a mask, that should be fun lol

[lamya83]

@GustavoMorenoo Thanks.

[Shaanaaye]

@GustavoMorenoo yes thats very true i did some research and experimented with it and it works well i just was not consistent

[udontknowme2857]

that knife scared me at the beginning, but thanks for the video

[Desaundrea]

LOL Everyone that sees me handle a knife says the same thing lol That I scare them lol. I am an accoplished user of cutlery this include common household knives. From chef knives and cleavers to swords for Kung Fu and Katanas that I was trained to use by my father. If it has a point on it I am in the know on how to use it :o)

[Emmilita]

[KH132]

is that the Aloe Vera? Drinks?

[Desaundrea]

Yes this aloe vera gel can be drank, but I don't lol No it is NOT the one that you buy ready to drink.

[shountypoo]

THANK YOU :)

[07ARYSSA]

What is aloe vera gel? Is it a regular hair gel? Can you use a potatoe piler to pill off the green part?

[Desaundrea]

Uh no you can not use a potato peeler lol

You have to use a knife. And the gel pack in this video IS the "gel" in Aloe Vera Gel

[cherri7]

it is good for hair too and it is like a natural hair gel....

[cecillbill]

Another great vid packed with easy intructions and very useful info. Thank you very much. I've haven't made gels out of the plant in terms of mixing it with stuff. I just got gel from plant and smoothed thru hair and on skin. Used the bottled from Lily of Desert since it had two preservatives to add to mixes. Please do more "how to" kitchen chemist stuff. For instance, do you know how to make those hair milk/hair lotion thingys?

[Desaundrea]

lol How to make those hair milk /lotion thingys is just a matter of how you mix things. MzTeaCake made a video entitled " Vlog 63 - Hair Moisturizer for Baby " she shows you how to make a hair lotion. :-)
