aleo vera gel - #13006
I am really confused about this whole aleo vera gel thing. For the past few months, I've had this stubborn patch of really dry skin on my elbow that just won't go away. I tried so many creams and lotions, but nothing seems to help. A friend told me to try aleo vera gel since it’s supposed to be good for dry skin, but I'm not sure. I bought a jar of pure aleo vera gel, but what if it doesn’t work?? I even looked up some home remedies that combine aleo vera gel with olive oil, which sound nice and all, but I have no idea how long I should be applying it before expecting results. I’ve read that aleo vera gel can be soothing and great for skin, but sometimes I worry I’ll have allergic reaction or it’ll just make things worse. Also, do I need to apply it constantly or only when my skin feels extra dry? Like, is there a difference between using the pure aleo vera gel versus a product that has aleo vera gel in it but a bunch of other stuff? I just don’t want to waste time or money on something that won't work, ya know? It feels cheap, but I’m not sure if aleo vera gel can be a miracle for this problem or just another fad. Has anyone had success with aleo vera gel and really dry skin or am I just chasing my tail here?
