aloe vera natural - #18002

Amara

I am really confused about something happening with my skin lately. I've always struggled with occasional breakouts, but now it's somehow getting worse. Like, a few weeks ago I tried this new skincare routine with some products that claimed to be aloe vera natural, and thought it’d help. The first few days, it was fine, but then things went downhill. My cheeks started to turn red, and I’m getting these weird itchy spots. The products said they were infused with aloe vera natural extract, and I thought, "Great, that should calm my skin!" But clearly, that's not the case. I did a patch test before using, but now I'm wondering if it's actually causing more irritation than help. Has anyone else had experience with aloe vera natural stuff? Is it supposed to be soothing, or could I be allergic to it? I thought aloe vera natural was all about healing and hydration, but I'm just not seeing that, and it’s frustrating! I mean, now I’m just all confused about whether to stop using it entirely or give it more time? Any thoughts or suggestions?
