This is the time of year when it’s torture to put on a heavy moisturizer, but in a classic Catch 22, it’s also the season when skin needs the TLC more than ever. Between sun exposure, getting in and out of the pool and dry, air-conditioned offices, our skin is t-h-i-r-s-t-y! Known for it’s cooling, after sunburn relief, is aloe, specifically Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel, the solution?

How Did the Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel Feel Going On?

I’m used to using oils or creams after my showers, so the gel took some getting used to. But it absorbs quickly and is only minimally sticky. I was able to get dressed for the day just a few short minutes after applying. The product is alcohol-free.

How Did the Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel Smell?

The Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel smells like everything you love about the beach. It’s fresh and light and instantly conjures up cool Caribbean waters. The scent lasted all day without ever being overpowering.

Did the Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel Deliver on Its Moisturizing Promise?

This is the ideal after-shower moisturizer for summer. It’s light enough not to be sticky on a hot day, yet moisturizing enough to give my skin a healthy feeling that lasts. The bottle says it’s for “daily use all year round”, but I worry it’s not rich enough for winter.

Is Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel Right for You?

The Vaseline Aloe Moisturizing Gel absorbs quickly to soothe summer skin. The beach-y scent is the best part. If your skin is extra dry, you may need a thicker cream for night time or in winter months.
