Looking for a homemade body gel for areas such as the tummy? Here is a recipe for a caffeine and aloe vera gel, with the ingredients, how they come together, the preparation steps and storage advice. Simply use it for around 3 months, applying it morning and evening.
A little tip: remember to exfoliate your skin twice a week! For this step, the simplest option is to use a caffeine-based scrub, such as the Anti-Cellulite Scrub. It is a simple step to add to your usual skincare routine.
But let’s take a closer look at this recipe!
Caffeine and aloe vera gel: the recipe!
Ingredients:
- 60 ml lemon verbena hydrosol
- 130 ml aloe vera gel
- 2 g caffeine
- 4 ml grapefruit essential oil
Here is how the ingredients come together: lemon verbena hydrosol provides the liquid base, aloe vera gel gives the preparation its gel texture, caffeine is dissolved in the warmed hydrosol, and a few millilitres of grapefruit essential oil are added. This preparation is for external use only, on the skin. If in doubt, for example during pregnancy or if you have sensitive skin, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using the essential oil.
