I absolutely love using gels on my skin because I naturally have combination skin type. Not just that, my skin is also more prone to sunburn and inflammation. Which is why I very regularly use aloe vera gel on my skin after sun exposure and after shaving/waxing to prevent a razor burn or redness. A combination of rose and aloe vera gel is like a saviour for inflamed skin, and I thought why not share a very simple recipe for Aloe Rose Skin Soothing Gel –
RECIPE FOR ALOE ROSE SKIN SOOTHING GEL
INGREDIENTS USED IN ALOE ROSE SKIN SOOTHING GEL
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera gel has skin soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. Not only does it help reduce any kind of redness or inflammation on the skin but it also at the same time hydrates and moisturises. Helps unclog pores and has healing properties. Aloe vera helps keep your skin healthy and gives it a natural reflective shine and also helps in removing dead skin cells, thanks to its natural exfoliating properties. Also if you apply aloe vera gel before sun exposure, it can protect your skin from a sunburn to a good extent.
Rose Oil
Rose oil contains essential fatty acids that moisturises your skin and also has anti- inflammatory skin soothing effects that works great for a sunburn and also for razor burns. It has soothing effect, helps treat and prevent blemishes, moisturises the skin, has anti ageing benefits, maintains skin‘s natural pH, etc. Rose Oil has a lot of skin benefits that makes it an ideal ingredient in this diy recipe.
Rose Petal Powder
Rose petal powder when regularly used in skin care, helps maintain natural skin tone, has skin beneficial anti-inflammatory properties and also anti pigmentation effects that helps lighten those unsightly dark spots. Rose petal powder basically is a concentrated form of what fresh rose petals has to offer and the skin beneficial compounds also are more in dried rose petals as compared to fresh petals. It calms your skin and keeps it healthy.
Sea Buckthorn Oil
This particular ingredient is a great source of omega-3, 5, 7 and 9 fatty acids. It also is extremely high in vitamin C that helps neutralise free radicals. It helps in skin regeneration, reduces any kind of inflammation, makes skin more elastic and helps moisturise.

Recipe-
To make this gel, take a bowl and add in commercial aloe vera gel. You cannot use freshly extracted aloe vera gel since it is not going to emulsify with other ingredients in the recipe. Now, add in rose oil and sea buckthorn oil and give it a really good mix until it emulsifies. Add in Rose petal powder and mix it again until there are no lumps left. Your skin soothing gel is ready, transfer it to an easy-to-use jar and use it as and when required.
