aloe vera body lotion - #17684

Priya

I am really concerned about my skin lately and I've heard great things about aloe vera body lotion. For the past few weeks, my skin has been feeling super dry and itchy, especially after long showers. I tried a few moisturizers but nothing seems to work. I read that aloe vera body lotion could be good for hydration and soothing but is it really effective? A friend recommended her homemade aloe vera body lotion and I was tempted to try it, but not sure if that’s safe or if I should stick with store-bought stuff. Also, is there a difference between them? Do they both provide the same benefits? I thought the aloe vera body lotion was supposed to be more natural and gentle, but are there any downsides I should be aware of? What ingredients should I look for when buying aloe vera body lotion, or should I just go for the pure gel instead? I'm just super confused and worried because my skin sometimes breaks out when using new products, and I’m scared I'll make it worse. Like, how do I know if this aloe vera body lotion is what I really need right now? Would love to hear your thoughts!
