First, you’ll need a cucumber and an aloe vera plant. Cucumbers are easy to find at the grocery store during their season (May through September), but if you can’t get your hands on one or don’t feel like going out of your way to do so, no worries — you can use any type of vegetable for this recipe! Just make sure it’s organic if possible because non-organic veggies often contain extra pesticides that may not work well with sensitive skin.
The next step is cutting up both the cucumber and leafy part from your aloe vera plant into small pieces: about 1/4 inch thick slices will do just fine here since our goal is simply to blend everything together rather than having any specific size requirements for our final product. Finally place these two components into separate bowls so they’re ready when needed later on in this process (see Step 2).
