Aloe Vera gel is a multi-purpose gel that can be wear all over your body! Yeah, you read me right... All over your body! How cool is that? One product fits for all and not to mention, it's not that expensive for a huge jar of product. Every brand come out with around 300-mL of product in one jar. The first brand that making this such a hit is Nature Republic: Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. According to my experience, these are some ways to use the Aloe Vera Gel (of course you can observe more from your own experience), which includes:

✨Face Mask/Treatment

I have used the gel as a sleeping mask before going to bed, where I have thickly coated my face with the gel to allow my skin to slowly absorb the moisture without causing my skin to get greasy or oily. ✨Moisturizer

I have used the gel before putting on my skincare routines. I thinly coated my face and allowing it to absorb for several minutes. After that, I used my usual skincare routine. The difference is, my face is hydrated and less oily. Even when I put on some makeup, it stayed put a longer time before it started to get oily. ✨Post Shaving Treatment

Although I haven't try to put it on myself as a post shaving treatment, I'm sure the purpose of this is to soothe the skin after the shaving process. ✨As a Hair Styling Product

I have heard of Aloe Vera gel being used as a 'natural' alternative to the harsh and drying traditional styling gels, although I haven't used it for this purpose as I tend to just put my hair up when it's hot and be done with it. Also, we regularly get 20+ mph winds here, so anything fancier than a braid or a bun is just an exercise in futility. ✨Eye Pack

I put this gel into my refrigerator until it's cold enough to be used. After that, I put it under my eyes for a good 30 minutes. The result? My panda eyes had reduced! ✨Overall Body Moisturizer

Yep, you read me right. I used it all over my body (like a body lotion) and fyi, I have an extremely dry skin. I have to use a body butter instead of a lotion to get a maximum effect. When I tried to use this gel, my skin took a good minute or two to absorb it. But later that day, my skin felt so smooth. For an extremely dry skin, this gel works really well to avoid the dryness without feeling so greasy or oily!

✨Soothing Skin from Sunburn or From an Irritation

I once forgot to put on my sunblock when I went to a waterpark. Later that day, my skin was freaking out! It hurts when I touched it, it's red, and it felt so uncomfortable. I tried to use this gel to soothe my skin, and works just fine! My skin calmed down and became less uncomfortable. Before I was going to bed, I put it on again. The next day, my skin doesn't hurt anymore and the redness gone.

Those are my personal experience of using the Nature Republic: Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel. Of course, you can choose the Aloe Vera gel from other brands (like Innisfree, The SAEM, The Face Shop, and etc.) and fyi, there are some Indonesian brand that already produced this too (like Wardah Cosmetics and Beauty K)! If you want to buy the Nature Republic one, unfortunately they haven't open any of their official store here in Indonesia. But don't worry, you can find it on various Indonesian-based online shops.

That is all for now, let me know of your thoughts in the comment section below. Until then!

xoxo,

Dews!
