If you want to apply the juice on to your skin, then instead of diluting it, apply the gel directly and this is more beneficial. But if you want to drink it or probably make something out of it, knock yourself off by adding some water.
Just because the gels like the thick consistency of the aloe vera liquid, it helps in the removal of the toxins from the gastrointestinal tract.

The aloe vera juice contains polysaccharides which are extremely rich in anti-oxidants and thus also helps in keeping the effects of aging from trying to take over our general health, along with help our immunity system with the needful.
