No matter how good the skin care products are, you must pay attention to the dosage and don't be in a hurry. Using too much can easily lead to clogged pores, causing a series of skin problems, the most prominent of which is closed comedones.

Recommendation: Be careful to apply aloe vera gel in appropriate amounts. When applying as a facial cream, just apply a thin layer. When using as a facial mask, apply an amount the thickness of a coin. When using aloe vera gel to remove acne, use it up to three times a day. Use aloe vera gel mask 2-3 times a week.

3. Skin dehydration causes stinging

Sometimes when applying aloe vera gel, skin with a thin stratum corneum is more sensitive and may experience a brief stinging sensation, but this is not an allergy. It is because the skin is not moisturized enough on a daily basis and is overly dehydrated.

Recommendation: If there is only a brief tingling sensation after applying aloe vera gel, it means that the skin needs to be urgently hydrated. You can apply a hydrating mask to your face after cleansing and toning. If the skin discomfort lasts for a long time, wash off the aloe vera gel immediately.
