Holiday Gift Guide 2020: Desert Harvest Skin Care
If the pandemic has taught us one thing this year, it is that self care is more important than anything else. People are forgoing outside interests and taking care of themselves more than ever before, not in a selfish way, but deciding to finally take time to stop and smell the roses in this time of uncertainty. And with good reason, one never knows what is around the corner.
Because of the pandemic stress is at an all time high. And stress induced acne & eczema are also more pronounced too. I can speak from experience as I have a little bit of both. Even at age 49 I still get acne. Yes it is extremely frustrating but I seem to have found something that helps both of these issues. Desert Harvest makes Aloe Vera Skin Care that works well for stress induced acne and eczema. Or just plain acne and eczema (which is an inflammatory response in the skin). Read on below for my reviews.

To use: squeeze a drop or two of the acne gel onto your ginger and apply a gin layer over your entire face and or body. Use morning and evening. Concentrate on active acne lesions. Can be used anywhere where acne lesions occur.
There is abundant evidence that Aloe Vera is an anti-inflammatory and works well on eczema and acne lesions. After using this gel on my own eczema I can say for certain that it does work to quell the itching and inflammation associated with flare-ups. I applied a light layer to the skin whenever I experienced any redness and itching. Immediately upon application the itching subsides and the redness also started to disappear. Luckily I only have eczema on my neck and scalp. I gave this to my daughter for her to use too and she applied it on her flare ups. She also noticed a difference when she applied it to her eczema.
As for acne lesions, I only experience them on my chin. I apply the acne gel to my chin whenever I am experiencing a hormonal breakout. The salicylic acid in Aloe Vera quickly heals the lesion and soothes any inflammation. It is an anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory that works swiftly and is a natural acne treatment for mild to moderate acne lesions. It can also be used as a prophylactic treatment, apply daily in a light thin layer so you will prevent any breakouts without drying out the skin.

Happy Holidays!
