I would like to apologize in advance if my review is sounding a little boring today. I am not keeping well and all I would like to do is sleep. However, I didn’t want to postpone this review and keep you all away from an amazing product.
In my last review, I had mentioned that I am using an aloe vera gel which is better than the Just Herb’s one (personally for me). This was introduced to me by a very good friend of mine who also has her own blog. I am in love with this gel I and am sure it will be a hit amongst you all too. I find this reasonably priced because I have been using a tub for the last 2 months and the quantity which is left would last me another 2 :)
Also, aloe vera gel taken from the plant directly does not suit all and causes itching of the skin. This doesn’t have any side effects as such.

My Experience with Rustic Art Aloe Vera Gel:
Packaging: It comes in a sturdy transparent plastic jar with a white lid and a screw top. It is small and will fit in your handbags easily.
Colour, Consistency & Fragrance/Texture: The gel is transparent in colour, which is how natural aloe vera gel actually looks. It is a lightweight gel which smells faintly of lemon.
How it works: I love the gel. It’s my moisturizer for all seasons. I use it as a night cream, day cream. You name it! I have been using it for the past 2 months and this is the only gel which doesn’t irritate my skin or inflame it :) I sometimes mix it with a little water and apply it all over my face. 10 seconds and its completely absorbed. The days when my eyes feel tired, I apply it all under my eyelids. It’s cooling (lasts about 10 seconds) and slightly fades away the dark circles. It has lemon which has anti-bacterial properties and acts as an astringent. This is a natural aloe vera gel in a plastic box :)
