• Then, with a spoon or spatula, take out the gel and set it aside in a bowl.
• Add lemon juice and wheat germ oil, which help strengthen the properties of aloe vera by adding vitamins E and other antioxidants.
• Once everything is ready in the bowl, mix it until it becomes a white, thick cream. Do not use a whisk, but you can use a blender if you want.
• Finally, pour the product into a glass that can be hermetically sealed. Put it in the fridge for longer shelf life.

Application
