    slice the leaf (off the plant, so pick a leaf first) and scrape the gel out.

    I slice the leaf in half and then use a rolling pin on a hard surface to coax the gel out. I usually lay parchment paper down on the kitchen counter and then roll it out to catch the gel and juices and then funnel it into a container.

    eek! I can't believe you used ANYTHING to get rid of freckles! I love freckles! I envy people with freckles! And you go out and try to lighten yours! Eesh!

    When I was a kid, like really young, I thought freckles were like those little brown 'beauty spots' you got on your arms, and people with freckles had so many, which meant they were super beautiful. I've no idea where I got that thinking from, but since I was a kid I've always envied ppl with freckles.

    Oh my gosh, I'm a redhead and I hate my freckles I always wished I had perfect porclin skin like everyone else. I'm going to try using aloe vera gel, but I only have the store bought bottle stuff, will this work also?

    Eeeeekkk!


    Aloe vera on your face eliminates the freckles?

    I use Aloe Vera for moisturization on my face... not to remove my sparse collection of freckles.. I love freckles!

    Gah, I love freckles too, but mine are really light unless you look really hard for them.

    Does aloe really lighten them??

    You can make a nice facial serum with aloe vera gel and witch hazel and a little olive oil and your favorite essential oil....
