Maybe people got too much sun this year? (In which we must remind you: always reapply your SPF.) Whatever the reason, they wanted to know how to apply aloe vera. There are plenty of aloe options out there that only require a quick squirt and slather onto the skin, but if you're planning on using the real plant, there's a few things to know.
Break a leaf of aloe vera from the plant, then cut the ends off. From here, you will slice the skin on the top and bottom of the aloe vera gel off. Once you're left with the gel, it's best to blend it so you can easily apply it as a paste, but you can use the fillet of gel directly on the skin if you wish.
