Choose a wide container to repot your aloe plant since aloes tend to produce offshoots, or baby aloe plants.
In areas that receive frost or snow the species is best kept indoors or in heated glasshouses.
Water your aloe vera plants less in the winter, since the plants will drain more slowly. Over watering can cause rot to form, which may kill your plant.
You will have to completely remove your aloe plant from its pot to find these baby plants. Use sharp scissors or a knife to sever them from the mother plant. Repot the mother plant when you are finished and transfer each of the baby plants to their own pot. [6] X Research source
If you are harvesting a large amount, you may need to cut the leaf in half (lengthwise) in order to get all of the gel out. Try to only harvest as much as you need at one time. If you have any leftover gel, you can store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to a week. [7] X Research source
Try refrigerating some aloe gel for an hour or two before applying it to your sunburnt skin. The chilled aloe will have a nice cooling effect. Keep in mind that although people have been using aloe as a treatment for sunburns for ages, there is no conclusive scientific research that aloe has a healing effect on sunburnt skin.

After you have washed your hair, rub a small amount of aloe gel between your hands (about the same amount you would use to shampoo your hair). Then use your fingertips to massage the gel into your scalp and leave the gel in your hair. Repeat this process each time you wash your hair. [10] X Research source
