This time it hurt to see my face, I didn't want to begin a new decade with bad skin. I had one week to control the damage.

I speak out of experience, whenever I discontinued using this product for a while , I could see new pimples popping on my face. Now that I am back to using this toner , ...

Aloe Vera is one of the key ingredients anyone with sensitive skin will look for.It is true that aloe vera shows amazing results and help soothe any skin type.Although natural aloe vera is the best , I wanted to try out certain aloe vera based products to find out if they work well . Personally I am a fan of Innisfree, a Korean skin care based brand with products based on ingrediants found in Jeju Island in Korea. Most products from this brand work really well,are natural and the prices are also quite affordable. 1. Aloe Revital Soothing Gel Price : Rs. 550 for 300 ml Usage   Apply an appropriate amunt to dry areas that need soothing,including hair,face,arms and legs  and spread evenly for penetration as often as needed.
