Gel Instead of Lotion: If you live in a Humid Climate This Might Save You!

Is it just me or does lotion and Summer not go together. It seems that when I step outside the house fully moisturized I start sweating lotion within the first 20 minutes of being outside!! It's gross but true. So I was reading an article about Aloe Vera Gel and its uses. And the person writing the article used it to moisturize her skin with pretty decent results.This person lives in the Southwest ( which is very dry). She said the aloe vera gel made her skin supple and ready to receive moisture.This got me to thinking. Aloe Vera gel might be the cure to my icky situation.Unlike the writer I live in Southeast Texas, where it is so humid you'd think you were in the Amazon. Aloe Vera is light and I've used it after sun exposure. I never thought to use it in place of lotion.This is something I will definitely be trying! So what about you? Do you have the same problem? How do you cope?
