how to apply aloevera gel on face - #24970

I am currently dealing with really dry skin, and I heard aloe vera can do wonders! I bought this nice aloe vera gel from a local shop, and I want to use it right but I'm kinda confused about how to apply aloe vera gel on face properly. Like, do I just slather it all over? I've tried doing that, but then it feels sticky and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to rinse it off or leave it on. Also, I read somewhere that different skin types might need different methods for how to apply aloe vera gel on face, which makes me wonder if I should do something special for my dry skin. Do I need to mix it with something else? Any tips on how to apply aloe vera gel on face for hydration would be super helpful. A friend mentioned doing it before bed is best too, but I’m a lil lost. Thanks a ton in advance!
