Aloevera facewash

Take the freshly scraped green stem skin and - taking off my glasses - do a quick face wash with the aloe gel still on it. If left lying around that scraped skin will soon dry out and be paper-thin and dry. But before I thow it away for compost, I quickly take this one more advantage of it. By wiping it all over my face, my complexion get's a rejuvenating lift - an energy drink!

If you do an internet search you are likely to find more and more stories of people who eat their aloe vera plants.

If you do eat them on a daily basis, you are going to need lots of aloe vera plants. They seem to thrive on this and will keep putting out more leaves and popping up new shoots, or what I call "babies."
