So why do some recipes say to freeze a liquid before adding the lye? Is this just to lower the heat or something else?
 
Yes, if the liquid is heat sensitive (milk, cream, etc.) and can spoil or discolour, freezing it will ensure the lye doesn't raise the temperature to scalding/scorching levels and ruin the water substitute.
 
No aloe vera will not keep dark circles away but light oil and a few drops of Frankincense helps but use not more than half of percent in oil dilution :)
