Aloe Vera for Face Skin Care

"Yup, this is my face now," I tell myself seeing my dry skin as I look into the mirror. But it doesn't have to be. As I went back to my bedroom, I saw the tub of aloe vera gel staring at me. I remembered testing it out on my skin before to see just how "soothing" it was. "Sure, why not?" I say as I slather the gel and massage it to my face.


I have been doing this as my before-bedtime routine for around five days now and so far, I've been surprised with the results. After taking a shower and patting my face dry, I apply two fingers-worth of the aloe vera gel onto my face, massage it a bit, and let it dry in front of my fan. Immediately, the "soothing" effect hits you, bringing a cool feeling to the skin. While that lasts only temporarily, what does last is your skin feeling hydrated. 

The next day, when I wake up, I noticed how my face feels a lot more supple, with a good sheen to it, compared to being just dull, and sadly, flaky in some patches of the skin. I don't really see any flaking skin anymore. Upon washing my face and again, patting it dry, the skin feels moisturized and dare I say... youthful?


In retrospect, however, maybe I should've researched about aloe vera for face skin care first before applying it all over. Doing a bit more digging, I was happy to see at least that aloe vera does have a number of benefits for one's skin. 

According to studies, products containing aloe vera is good for soothing sun burns or minor burns. And because it contains anti-inflammatory effects, it also helps relieve acne (and thankfully, during the period that I have been applying the product, I have not noticed any new acne breakouts - a coincidence?). Finally, it helps moisturize dry skin - something I can vouch for as I have really felt a difference on my face, seeing as it has more of a glow to it. 


Ultimately, since these aloe vera soothing gel products are very affordable, I think I will keep this in my nightly routine (not that I ever did have a nightly skin care routine to begin with, which is probably the reason I had dry skin). It is important to note, however, to test these products out first on your skin as there is a real possibility of being allergic to aloe vera.

Beginner's Guide to Duel Corp.

Image
I had no idea that a procedurally generated souls-like game was something that I was looking for until I tried out Duel Corp. Challenging gameplay, randomized areas, and the promise to build your own character is what initially attracted me to the game. Twenty hours in, I could not let go of this game as I am addicted! And since souls-like games don't exactly hold your hand to guide you, this is my attempt to at least provide you some semblance of hand-holding.  There are so far, six Duel Corp character classes to choose from (for now, in the writing of this guide while it is still in Early Access on Steam). And as mentioned earlier, you can build your own character, so these classes are just stepping stones of the main stat that you would like to lean into. Included in the image below are the the classes, their main stat, and the starting accessory that they have. It is important to note that you do not start with any skill, spell, or ability whatsoever.  To help build your c...

Heartopia - Best Cozy Game of 2026

Image
While the claims of Heartopia being "Best Cozy Game of 2026" (for me) might still be too early to say, especially since we're still just starting the year, the multiplayer life simulation with gacha mechanics sure hits the spot when it comes to kicking back and living a fantasy utopian life.  Having played Heartopia since it became playable on mobile and on PC (via their official website ), I had the great pleasure of participating in the various activities, hobbies, events, and mischief the game has to offer.  The game can be compared to Animal Crossing with the freedom the it gives you when it comes to doing daily life activities, which are called Hobbies. What sets it apart from Animal Crossing, in my opinion, is that while you have the freedom to do what you want, there are still objectives for you to do. These objectives are given by the multitude of NPCs in the island, various Hobby milestones which you level up just by doing the activity, and the sprinkling of even...

My Weekend with Spellcasters Chronicles

Image
Imagine summoning your minions to march onto war, and later on, summon a titan the size of a sky scraper to help demolish the enemy base. Spellcasters Chronicles has been on my radar for a long while now, and I was lucky enough to get into the Closed Beta Playtest this weekend. Having played a number of matches solo and with friends, here are findings so far.  Spellcasters Chronicles, in my humble opinion, is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena that has a lot of new things going for it that changes the usual third-person MOBA experience. Right off the bat, walking is almost non-existent in this game as everyone can fly. Flying feels nice, as it's not that difficult to navigate through the air space.  Another thing that makes the game unique is that you get to summon the minions in your lane. You get to summon them, after some chanting, at any of your towers. Minions vary from the very basic skeleton warriors and golems, to the more giant ogres and juggernauts.  So far, ther...
