Here is a simple two-ingredient formula to soften and smooth your skin. The recipe has been handed down through generations of renowned beauties, a real treasure for anyone who wants clear, beautiful skin fit for a love goddess. Simple to make, soothing to use, and with noticeable results:

Combine equal parts of milk and aloe vera gel.

Milk is an alpha-hydroxy acid that helps to loosen dead skin cells, and aloe vera is wonderfully hydrating and moisturizing. Aloe is also antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory–and it is an immune system stimulant. All in all, a wonderful healer for acne, age spots, rashes, and more.

Apply mixture to clean skin and allow to rest for 10 minutes before rinsing.
