To make this turmeric skin gel, you need to add commercial aloe vera gel in a mixing jar. Fresh aloe vera gel is not going to work in this recipe because it will not emulsify with other ingredients and it will not have longer shelf life. You need emulsifiers in order to preserve the final product and also to mix all the Ingredients together. Now, to this aloe vera gel add wild turmeric, jojoba oil and peppermint oil. Mix everything together until it is well emulsified and then transfer it to an easy to use jar. Use it as a skin gel during the day and before sleeping as well. To use, take a small quantity on your palms and massage it on your facial skin and neck until fully absorbed.
