So I had heard aloe Vera is really good for treating scars and acne. I had an aloe Vera plant and decided to apply the gel on my cheeks. I woke up to find so many blackheads on my cheeks! Does anyone one know what's going on??

There's a right way and a wrong way to use aloe direct from the plant. The latex of the plant can be sensitizing.

HOWEVER---

Drinking aloe can make your skin purge like crazy. Consider its laxative effects (good) and what that means for your skin giving up those blackheads (good.)
