Nature Republic Aloe Gel- a gift from the skin gods

I swear I can die and go to heaven! My amazing coworker gave me this tub of Nature Republic’s Aloe Gel after hearing me complain about having dry skin and… IT is AMAZING! I love it after just one use. I was a little afraid at first because it has a bunch of writing on it, in I assume Korean, that I can’t understand.  Plus it’s a gel in a tub so I expected it to create a giant mess. 

After doing some research online I found there are sooo many uses for it. FYI- mixed in between all the characters that I have no idea what they meant- there are some instructions in English.  Whoops!Anyways, I’m glad that I looked it up online cuz there is like a million different ways to use this product! It can be used for dry scalp, sunburns, mixed in with your foundation for a dewy look,  hair treatment to help make your hair shiny , to relax swollen eyes, to moisturize lips and even on your nails! I decided to be boring and use it to moisturize my face which can at times get dry.  Before I went to bed last night after washing my face, I spread the aloe gel all over my face and let it sink in and went to sleep. It felt a little sticky at first, but it wasn’t unbearable and dried pretty quickly. I didn’t notice much of a difference  that night, but let me tell you…this morning I woke up and my skin is soft, smooth and hydrated! No dry spots at all! It worked like a dream and I’m so excited to have been introduced to this product.
So far I can only see a few things that may be little bummers about this product-
1.       It’s a Korean product so I assume my options other than Amazon (where my coworker purchased it) are limited
2.       #2 goes right along with having to order online from  Amazon - the shipping takes FOREVER and a day because it comes from Korea!
3.    A whole bunch of grossness can contaminate the tub if you use your fingers to apply the product- it’d be nice if there was some kind of spatula included with the product to make it more clean!
4.       It does have a bit of a weird scent- it’s not too overpowering, but nonetheless it’s still there
 
Even with the bummers taken into consideration, I would DEFINITELY recommend this product to anyone who needs help with moisturizing their skin. It’s amazing! I will definitely repurchase this online when I run out (which I hope shouldn’t be awhile since you get a really good sized 15.8oz tub)
