Yes flaxseed gel is also a great mask alternative to Aloe vera gel. You can put it on your skin/scalp for 10/20 minutes then rinse it thoroughly (it will leave a film on your skin if you don't rinse it). Make sure that you check the pH to be compatible with the skin (between 4.5 and 5.5 pH) and add a few drops of lemon to balance it if necessary.
