Reviews
"I had 24 radiation treatments on both hands...very bad burns, skin peeling and awful pain."
"I have used different brands of Aloe all promising to absorb quickly and leave no sticky residue."
"I highly, highly recommend this product if you are suffering from light acne, dry skin, and keratosis pilaris."
"When applied as soon as I feel the cold sore come it, it's much smaller if I hadn't put it on. I'm not dealing with a cold sore scab (ew) on my face for like two weeks anymore, it's only a couple of days at most."
"This past week, I broke out into a rash on my face and neck that, once healing, left my skin very dry and patchy. I have been using this twice per day after cleansing, under my moisturizer, and my pores look smaller, fine lines plump, and my skin looks smooth and glowing."
"This is more like a thin, runny liquid than a gel, but do not be fooled by the watery feel of this aloe vera gel."
"Looked for aloe Vera and found Amara Organics. But it was this organic product made by Mother Earth that saved my skin and a lot of pain."
"I found that this product, as a hair gel, doesn't have the hold necessary to keep my hair parted to the side."

Reviews
"So, after waiting about a month (I'm not one to post a review immediately without trying things) I am so utterly happy to say this is a product that IS as described, and is just as high-quality as it purports to be. (Can you tell I've purchased things I thought were made in the US before only to received broken-English instructions and ingredients, or no readable content at all?? Doesn't sound pretty, but when you're a mom of five who never gets to a salon for a facial it will be your own version of heaven....albeit briefly, until you hear the inevitable "Mommy! • Mix equal parts coconut oil with aloe, both room temperature, for a fabulous warm/cool tingly/smooth self massage. • Use aloe alone if you get razor burn like my sensitive Scandinavian skin does - always inner calf and thigh. I couldn't figure out how to show the texture without a video so I put about a tablespoon on my forearm in the pics, right out of a cold bottle (does not have to be refrigerated), and then swiped down my arm once. This is at the top of the list for Christmas gifts and I'll definitely be buying the rest of their products."
"The bottled gel here, has a very slight smell (not unpleasant) and is extremely light colored as is natural to the Aloe cacti plant. Not thick or viscous, natural density that is easier to mix for DIY home remedies: shampoos, conditioners, moisturizers, soaps and even toothpaste. Good to be safe: check with your MD and ALWAYS spot test a tiny amount on the inside skin area of any elbow with a 24 hour wait time. Apple cider vinegar (household use) is great for stopping and removing products when reactions occur; and it also restores skin's natural PH balance."
"This has easily got to be the best thing I've ever used and will continue to use for the rest of my life. Until my step sister in Arizona was growing natural aloe Vera she cut that up with a knife and put some on my face the next day it was almost gone. My face looks younger and if rosacea comes popping out again it's quickly healed."
"Do not buy this product!!!!!"

Reviews
"Ingredients: 99.75% aloe vera (Aloe Barbadensis) gel, Citric Acid (preservative), Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C as a preservative), Potassium Sorbate (as a preservative to guard against bacteria), Xanthan (to help the Aloe coat your skin better)."
"I have sensitive, finicky skin, and finding commercial hair and skin products that don't sting, turn me red, or cause breakouts is incredibly difficult. This aloe doesn't irritate me in the slightest, and it's a great multipurpose product. -A light holding gel to comb into eyebrows. -Moisturizer on cracked winter skin. -Soothing relief for rashes and irritations caused by weather, other products, etc. Overall take: Great product, exceptionally useful, stellar customer service."
"I've purchased it 3 or 4 times now and I found it to be the only thing that would soothe my intense Sebhorric Dermatitis outbreaks, to the point where I cut all the "medicine" ointments and just use this and regular face washings. I use this stuff twice daily: in the morning after I splash water on my face and at night after I shower."
"It has made a huge difference with regulating my t-zone oils and breakouts and has really diminished the look of my acne scars. I even got my skeptical husband using it as aftershave since he gets really bad bumps and razor burn."
"After doing some research online, I found that Earth's Daughter Aloe Vera Gel Organic 12oz is mainly a natural product and does contain mostly aloe."
"This is slightly thinner than most aloe gels, but that's because it hardly has any additives so it's fine with me."
"When shipped the bottle leaked, I contacted them the next day they said they would send her a new bottle out, and wished her good health. I just want to thank those that I talked to for sending it out so quickly, also checking in on how my sister was doing and if it was working out okay for her."

Best Skin Sun Protection

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, 1.7 oz
EltaMD Skin Care is committed to helping you have great skin for life.
Reviews
"I started using it in conjunction with this new sulfur based facial mask TreeActiv Anti Acne & Rosacea Treatment Sulfur Mask Plus Rhassoul, Bentonite Clay Mask with Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera - Refreshing Lemon Scent (1 Jar) (8 Oz) that has really been rocking out on my skin and clearing it up. Basically I use the mask as an exfoliator, which clears up my acne, reduces redness, and brightens my skin, then I use this TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back!"
"I emailed EltaMD regarding the validity of the product, here is their response as of yesterday, 9/22/15. I give it 3 stars because of my skepticism, but I love the product I have received, assuming it's legitimate."
"This product feels good. It doesn't do that when I don't use other products underneath it or let them absorb first."
"I run 5 days a week and I am usually coveted in zinc that stays white ( even tho package says clear) and it is like glue to get off after my run."
"The constancy is a little bit, by a hair, like a sunscreen, but it goes on very light and does not leave a white cast on my asian skin tone."
"I've been using this sunscreen for 2 years and up until this purchase has had good experiences with Amazon sellers."
"I was very disappointed to find out the Elta MD skincare product I had purchased was fake according to my dermatologist."
"This is 2nd time that the pump does not work."

Reviews
"Before I begin, a side note, if you have a scar that is less than a year old, cover it up when in the sun or it can keloid and/or warp the appearance. Here's the deal on tattoos and tanning: You shouldn't expose your tats to any sun source if you want to maintain their vibrancy and longevity. Here's my solution: I use an spf 70 (the Neutrogena "deodorant" stick kind) on my ink...yes even on my entire back piece."
"It has a browning bronzer that lightly tans you right away, and lasts for a few days."
"I like the fragrance of this lotion, it is sort of a light sweet vanilla scent."
"DOWNSIDE: When I received the product it had some of the lotion (which is a tan color) dried around the top of the bottle opening. Overall I recommend it, its definitely cheaper on here than stuff you get at a tanning salon that probably wont work as well."
"After that started fading in the past 3 weeks with fall starting, i thought id get back to fake baking to maintain a fall/winter tan. Great color results, Natural looking tan, not oompa-loompa."
"Very pleased 3 sessions and I had a tan with the use of this product no tingle which I prefer."
"I have no problems with the price or prompt shipping of this product but am very disapointed in the tanning lotion."
"It has a spray tanning smell to it that doesn’t come off your skin even after showering."

Reviews
"The color guard in combination with the mitt makes sure I get every single square inch of my body, no streaks. The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. UPDATE: September 27, 2012. After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on Amazon or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly."
"One of the best tips I can suggest is lightly rubbing lotion on areas where you may have dry skin (elbows, knees and wrists/knuckles) before applying. I use circular motions and just lightly buff the tanner onto my skin. If you're experiencing problems it's most likely user error and it will just require a little more practice but once you get the hang of it, it is a cinch!!!!!"
"I have been using different tanning products for years, everything from L'Oreal Sublime Bronze (which I was vaguely favorable to), MysticTan, VersaSpa (good in a crunch, but not at the eleventh hour), and Jergens Natural Glow. Especially in the traditional places where the lotions sink in too much and create the ever lovely bread-crust effect on the edges of the palms, between the fingers, nail beds, and don't even get me started on the feet! hahaha No really though... Glynis is dead on when she recommends that you trim the tube, I measured it by sight looking at how much would need to come off just to screw the cap down tightly. Don't risk having too much on your hands because this is a fast drying product (and trust me, that's a good thing!!). I tend to get a bit antsy and go too fast over my thighs, but that's how you can miss a spot... luckily, touch-ups are not hard with this formula! Because you don't want to wash off all the tanning lotion that you put on your hands, and then try and clean the glove. I thought buying a second product sucked but I was not exceptionally in to the whole idea of lines or splotches. The balm is like a wax, and you apply it after the tanner to blend the color, or before it to block it completely."
"I love this product."

"she always used to tan and i took after her as well, even though her being Polish she's pale, and my father being Mexican he's very dark, i took after HER! her and i have used many indoor lotions before and many of them, most of them actually.... were extremely expensive, every lotion $20+ for a little tube or so. it took me ONCE on a level 2 for 15 minutes to get this tan."
