1. Basil & Aloe Vera Ice-Cubes

Basil and aloe vera are; good for the body, better for the skin kind of kitchen ingredient that I personally recommend. While aloe vera removes excess oil and deal with acne, basil being a potent antioxidant soothes the skin. This calming combo in the icy goodness is also a great remedy for sunburn.

How To Make It?

Take a handful of basil leaves in a cup of water and grind them.
Add 2 tablespoon of natural aloe vera gel and mix.
Empty the mixture into an ice-cube tray and let it freeze.

Side tip: You can even use coconut oil instead of basil leaves. All you need to do is mix them thoroughly to keep oil from accumulating on the top. 2-3 tablespoon of oil should do the trick.
