You can add the leaves to salads.
Soak fresh leaves in a bath or facial steam to heal and nourish the skin.
Apply the juice from a freshly sliced leaf to warts and other skin blemishes.
You can apply the sap from the inside of the leaf to minor cuts, scrapes, etc.... like you would an Aloe Vera plant.
You can soften skin around corns by apply a freshly cut leaf, sap side against the skin for several hours, then soak that area in hot water and attempt to remove the corn.
