Now put the aloe vera pulp in a blender and add 1 vitamin-C capsule, 1 vitamin-E capsule, and 1-2 teaspoons of honey to it. Also run the blender for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes completely smooth and gel-like consistency. When the mixture is ready, fill it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge.
