You just need to break off a small piece from the leaf,peel away the outer skin and massage the gel into your skin very gently concentrating mostly on the acne scars.keep massaging for 2-3 minutes and then leave it on your face to dry completely.Rinse off with warm water.Aloe vera is so mild and soothing for your skin that you can use it daily without thinking about any further damaging or irritating your skin.
