Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel Review

You know summer is in full swing when you go to the beach and when you get home you look in a mirror and first glance tells you there is a walking human size lobster invading your bathroom! At least that is what happened to me two weekends ago. Rest assured, I definitely promote applying a good sunscreen. However, sometimes, especially with fair skinned people, somehow the sunscreen just doesn't seem to keep the UV rays from somehow breaking through the sunscreen barrier, causing a bright red, painful sunburn.

I have tried many products, and have been content with the most part, willing to put up with a little stickiness or off fragrance, as long as I got some soothing relief. When I saw that summer was coming, and realized we were out of aloe gel, I went to my local Grocery Outlet store to see what inexpensive, yet effective aloe gel I could find.

I found a 12 ounce bottle of aloe gel, made by Fruit of the Earth. I had never heard of it, much less tried it, but thought that since the price was good enough I would try it.

To my surprise, this aloe gel went on very smoothly, without leaving a sticky residue. And as I waited for an assault of a tench typical for aloe gel, it never came! Instead there was just a very slight fruity smell. I am also very pleased to say that there was immediate relief, which is what was most important to me! I had also been skeptical about its claim to no staining. Well, I did get some on my clothes and guess what? You got it! No staining either!

We have also found out, not only is this product very effective for sunburns, it is also great for insect bites and itchy dry skin. My daughter had gotten a spider bite, and we applied it and the itching almost went completely away, and the swelling lessened!

So if you have been searching for a good product for those summer sunburns, or something other than medication to give relief for insect bites, your search is over! Make sure you go purchase some aloe gel made by Fruit of the Earth next time you go to the beach, the pool or camping, or just to keep some handy around the house.
