Regardless of age, acne is one of the common skin problems faced by most of us. Teenagers are more prone to acne, due to the hormonal changes occurring in puberty. Other factors that trigger acne are improper skin care, unhealthy eating habits, and stress.
Pimples: Cause and Effect
Pimples are inflammations of the skin caused by the excess deposit of an oily protective secretion of the skin known as sebum. There are pores on the epidermal layer of the skin. If the pores of the skin are not properly cleaned, that is to say, if the skin is not washed and cleaned properly, this sebum secretion deposits between the pores and the dead skin. As a result, bacteria begins to grow in the skin. The epidermis is also prone to flaking and drying up.
Pimples are characterized by dark, red, and painful swellings usually on the parts of the body that sweat the most. A deposit of sebum leads to the growth of bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, being one of the many species that leads to the painful swelling and infection.
The reasons behind an outbreak of pimples are far diverse. Among women, acne may not become an issue until menopause, or it could be a common side effect of switching birth control pills. Among teens, the outbreak of pimples can simply be a sign of adolescence, caused due to hormonal imbalances mostly. There are also cases of adult acne that stem from stress. It is most common to suffer from acne if one’s skin is exposed to the sun and sweat for long periods of time. Unhealthy diets and use of excessive fatty substances like lard and oil can also lead to the blockage of pores.
Acne can be cleared with regular and simple home remedies and proper diet. Home remedies for acne use ingredients that are easily available like aloe vera, honey, apple cider vinegar and garlic. Here, we will particularly discuss aloe vera for acne in detail.
Note: Topical treatment work in treating the present acne successfully. However, if you want to prevent new ones as well, then here is what you are missing
Why Is Aloe Vera Good for Acne?
- It is an antioxidant, and contains Zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
- As an astringent, Aloe Vera helps in contracting the skin, thus rendering the skin pores clean from any deposited sebum, dead skin cells or dirt.
- It absorbs the excess oil from the skin which prevents clogging of pores.
- It contains hormones called gibberellins and polysaccharides which contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties which fight the bacteria growing in the clogged pores.
- The glycol-proteins present in it reduce the inflammation. It also reduces the irritation and redness caused by pimples.
- It purifies the blood and stimulates cell growth to heal the damaged skin. You can also use aloe vera for acne scars and spots on your skin.
- Aloe Vera is rich in ferments like catechins, carotenoids, and flavonoids. It is highly rich in carbohydrates and amino acids.
- Aloe vera contains gibberellins (growth hormone), glucomannan (a mannose-rich polysaccharide) which improves collagen synthesis when applied or consumed.

That is aloe vera. Consumption of aloe vera every day helps unclog the pores, prevents infection, purifies the blood, detoxifies and reduce inflammation.
Process of Making Aloe Vera Juice:
You have to extract aloe vera gel from an aloe vera leaf and blend it with some water to make juice. But if you don’t like the taste of just aloe vera then you can try the below combination.
- Extract aloe vera gel for acne from an aloe vera leaf.
- To a blender, add 2 – 3 tablespoons of aloe vera gel, 1 cup of water, 1 – 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 cup of citrus juice, 1 – 2 teaspoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of vinegar.
- Blend for a minute and pour the juice into a glass.
- Consume the juice immediately.
- Repeat the process daily.
Things to Remember While Drinking Aloe Vera Juice:
- Discard the yellow substance oozing while extracting the aloe vera gel as it can cause stomach cramps and diarrhea.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before taking aloe vera juice.
- Drink the juice as soon as it is prepared because a slight delay allows the juice to oxidize which means you will not get all nutrients present in it.
Tips and Precautions:
- Always make sure to wash the aloe vera leaf thoroughly before use.
- Use of organic aloe vera soap twice daily can reduce the acne and pimples and provide a glow to your skin. The soap must contain glycerin as an active ingredient so that it prevents dry and flaky skin.
- Freshly extracted aloe vera gel provides more effective results than store-bought one.
- It’s best to apply a thin layer of anti-bacterial cream over aloe vera and allow it to dry to protect the skin against bacteria.
- Before starting any natural home remedy, it’s best to discuss with your doctor.
- Avoid consuming too much of aloe vera juice as it can cause diarrhea and stomach cramps.
- Aloe vera may cause some irritation or itching if you are allergic to it or latex, so always do a patch test first. Also, read our article on uses of apple cider vinegar for acne.
- Wear gloves while cutting aloe leaf to avoid irritation.
- People who are suffering from hemorrhoids, colitis, ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulosis, etc. will have to consult their doctor before using aloe vera for treating this problem.
- A prolonged habit of drinking Aloe Vera juice could expose you to increased risk of colorectal cancer and other health problems. So never ever use this gel or juice in excess.
- Keep the body hydrated and eat plenty of watery fruit and vegetables to keep the skin hydrated and pH balanced.
- You can also add aloe vera in your detox water for best results.

Can I use the aloe versa plant in my garden on my face and scalp
Yes, you can.
Use after every face wash. Ive only done it for a week and i already dont have any pimples and less blackheads. Just cut the gel out and push it through a wire strainer (with tiny holes) into an airtight jar. It also heals up pimples you already have. You can rinse with just water after ten minutes if you have bad acne or just leave it on. You can also apply it to your face before bed. Hope I helped!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience and tips.

I put the juice part from aloe on my face and now my face is red and feels like sunburn but I don’t have sunburn… Am I allergic or something?? I don’t know what’s wrong….
I hope you have discarded the green liquid before applying the gel. The green liquid that comes while scooping out the aloe vera gel can be toxic. If you experienced burn even after discarding the green liquid then you may be allergic to aloe vera.
We cut a portion of plant and apply it. What is the difference b/w green liquid and the gel….?
Pls. Advice.
After peeling the skin of the aloe vera leaf, the green liquid which has a gummy texture is very toxic so it should be avoided. The gel is good for treating the pimples and many other skin ailments.

What are the other side affects of using on my face?
Yes, you can use it for back acne as well. Usually, aloe vera is very gentle on the skin and doesn’t cause any side effects until unless you are allergic to it.
by using alovera can i get a clear and a glowing skin?
Yes, aloe vera helps to provide a clear and glowing skin. The anti-oxidants present in it repair and protect the skin from damage caused by pollution, harsh chemicals and sun. It hydrates the skin without clogging the pores.
How long can I preserve the aloe vera and lemon juice face mask in a fridge?
You can store in an airtight container for a maximum of 3 – 4 days.
Hi! I peeled a fresh Aloe Vera leaf and used a small amount of the gel which is inside of it, but also a bit of the Aloe Vera juice and mixed them both with a bit of honey. I used the mask on my face and as I was waiting for the 20 minutes to pass, from time to time I felt as if something was stinging my face in some parts of it. However, the next day I could really notice the small improvement which appeared on my skin. So, can I use it again, or the feeling that I had while the Aloe Vera was on my face was not a good sign?
Yes, you can use it again. The stinging states that it is working. If the stinging was unbearable then it is better to avoid it.

Hello! I am a dark skinned lady. I have pimples on my face and just started using the remedy mixture of whipped white egg, tablespoon of lemon and two tablespoons of aloe vera gel. I want to ask, can I store up in a fridge for somedays and also will you advice I use antibacterial or antifungal products on my face after washing off the remedy. The pimples and acne started coming just for about a month now. How long do you think it will take for it to work, since it’s just a month as compared to 2-3years?
Thank you.
It is better to make the mixture fresh every time. However, if the mixture is left out then you can refrigerate and use it within 2 days. It is better to avoid applying antibacterial and antifungal products while trying the home remedies.
