In a world where cosmetics have become a veritable chemical weapon, aloe vera is like a balm—literally and metaphorically. This humble plant with thick, sap-filled leaves isn't just a trend in the natural-care world, it's a star who deserves its own green stage. Plus, let's be honest, you probably have at least one aloe vera plant sitting on your kitchen shelf somewhere that you occasionally glance at but haven't really used. Make your own homemade aloe vera face wash.
Homemade aloe vera face wash, which beats other brands. Your face deserves better than foaming cleansers with the label “mystic ocean breeze” and ingredients that sound like they were made in a lab. It’s time to take five minutes (really, just five!) and prepare yourself natural aloe vera cleansing gel, which is as gentle on the skin as a Netflix series on a rainy evening – and so much more effective than most store-bought products.
Homemade aloe vera face wash – ingredients:
To make your own homemade aloe vera face wash, you only need a few key ingredients. You won't need a PhD in chemistry, just a little enthusiasm and clean kitchen utensils:
-
- 4 tablespoons aloe vera gel (homemade or store-bought, without added perfumes)
- 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap (keep it as natural as possible)
- 4 tablespoons rose water (can also be made from homemade rose petal infusion)
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (or other carrier oil – almond, jojoba, etc.)
- 3 drops vitamin E or sweet almond oil
- a few drops tea tree essential oil (ideal for oily and acne-prone skin)
Homemade aloe vera face wash – preparation as a mini beauty ritual

- Mix everything together by hand or with a mixer for two minutes – just enough time for the water and oils to combine nicely. The result will be gentle, liquid gel, which differs from commercial cleaners in that it does not contain any artificial thickeners or foaming agents. However, if you want a thicker consistency, you can add natural gel-emulsifier (e.g. xanthan gum).
