pure alovera gel - #13836

Ayush

I am really confused about this whole pure aloe vera gel thing. A few weeks ago, I had this really bad sunburn after spending a day at the beach, and my friend told me to try using pure aloe vera gel to soothe my skin. I thought okay, sounds simple enough! So I went to the store and bought a jar labeled "pure aloe vera gel." But then I noticed there were a bunch of different brands, and some claimed to be pure while others had added ingredients. I ended up just getting the one without any fragrances or colors. Since then, I've been putting it on my sunburn and, honestly, I don't see much improvement! Like, does it work the same no matter the brand? I’m wondering if I should have purchased a different one or if I even got a true pure aloe vera gel. People keep saying pure aloe vera gel is the best for skin healing but I just feel kinda lost! Should I apply it more often or is there a limit? My sunburn is still pretty red and I can’t tell if the gel is actually doing anything. Should I maybe try a different method for my burn or just keep slathering on the pure aloe vera gel? Any thoughts would really help!
