Has it really been half a year since I last did this? *snicker* Unboxing subbies has always excited me because really, life is more fun with surprises! Last month's BDJ Box offering is something I'd usually shy from since I don't really have dry skin but mannnnnn this lakas maka-forever summer has been burning my hair and skin like silly! Add the crazy travel schedule I'm doing pa et viola! Recipe for dry skin disaster. :(
I like this box's contents because of the value and the variety. Some players I've tried, some are absolutely new to me. Do you see YAYs on your books below?
Aloe Derma Pure Aloe Vera Gel is a multi functional skincare product composed of 99.7% organic Aloe Vera extract, certified by ECOCERT France. This protects your skin from dryness & irritation, and effectively repairs damaged skin as proven in clinical trials. It is recommended for soothing sunburns perfect if you have just gone on a summer trip. It’s also great for daily use, as it’s very light on the skin, perfect for our humid weather.
Yes, you've already heard about this product in the blog last year. Question is -- why is this not yet available in most groceries and department stores? It's one of the best discoveries I've had in a while because it works like a charm on sunburns and insect bites, applies like gel, and sets like nothing. Very glad to receive a full tube this time.

Some box snobs were feeling meh about this but I'm elated to see not just one but two tubes!
