If you love simple, natural skincare, these homemade gel recipes are perfect for nourishing your skin without harsh chemicals or expensive products. Each gel targets a different skin concern—from wrinkles and dullness to acne and pigmentation—using aloe vera or lightweight water-based blends as the main base.

All recipes are preservative-free unless mentioned, so refrigeration is recommended for freshness (3–7 days). To slightly extend the shelf life, you may add vitamin E oil or 2–3 drops of tea tree essential oil.

1. Aloe Vera Gel – Clear Skin Base

Ingredients:

• Fresh aloe vera leaf

• 1 Vitamin E capsule (optional)

Instructions:
Scoop out the fresh aloe gel, blend until smooth, and mix in vitamin E if desired. Store in a clean jar.

Use: A daily lightweight moisturizer that hydrates, soothes irritation, and preps the skin for other treatments.

2. Flaxseed Gel – Collagen Booster

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp flaxseeds

• 1 cup water

Instructions:
Boil flaxseeds for 5–7 minutes until a gel forms. Strain through muslin, cool, and store.

Use: Apply 3–4 times weekly to help tighten skin, support collagen, and improve elasticity.

3. Turmeric Gel – Dark Spot Corrector

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp aloe vera gel

• ½ tsp turmeric (wild turmeric preferred)

• 1 vitamin E capsule

• 1 carrot (boiled & pureed)

• 2 tbsp aloe vera gel
