aloe vera mask - #20707

Pihu

I am really confused about this aloe vera mask thing. Few weeks ago, my friend told me how great it is for skin, right? But then I decided to give it a try myself after my skin had started breaking out like crazy. I mean, like really bad. I thought it might help calm things down and hydrates too. I bought some fresh aloe vera from the store. It smelled kinda weird but I mixed it with some lemon juice, ‘cause, well, I thought it's good for brightening, you know? After applying the aloe vera mask, my face felt cool and nice for like 10 minutes, but then it started itching a bit. Should it feel like that? Plus, after rinsing it off, my skin looked super red. I'm worried cause it’s like, did I just worsen my breakouts instead of helping? Are there any specific aloe vera mask recipes that don't irritate skin? I read somewhere they can have varying effects, but is there a safer way to use it? Or should I just steer clear from aloe vera mask altogether? Please help, I really don’t know what to do.
