Let me introduce a versatile item that I stock on my vanity 365 days a year without fail. It is an affordable aloe soothing gel in a huge jar that you can find at supermarkets or drugstores, and its versatility is insane. When my face feels really hot, I apply a thick layer of cold aloe gel kept in the refrigerator to use as a sleeping or cooling pack. When dry skin starts flaking on my shins or arms during the change of seasons, mixing body lotion and aloe gel half and half provides a complete moisture boost without a single stickiness. It even works as a substitute for hair essence; applying a little to the ends before drying my hair tames frizz. The price is so reasonable that I plan to use it generously for the rest of my life without holding back.
