Aloe Vera is commonly grown on Tenerife as a garden and ornamental flower and for commercial purposes. It is sold in many forms in cosmetics and healthcare products and the gel and sap in the plant is very good for treating sunburn and skin complaints making it very apt that it grows in a hot climate.

I've always wondered... can you run the sap directly on the skin, on does it have to be 'watered down'?

I would say yes, but remember everyone reacts differently to things and what is OK on one may not be on someone else. I would suggest testing a small amount to be on the safe side.

Is the process somewhat easy to follow to make aloe vera gel at home from the leaves of the plant?

I have sometimes cut open a leaf and applied the gel directly to my skin with no after effects.
It grows wild in many parts here so keep some in your garden or in a pot on your balcony and cut some off when needed. Fresh is best!
