Nature's Gate Lotion, The Natural Alternative By LlamaLlamaa on May 17, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

First, let me say, I am the ultimate skincare junkie. I scour the world for the best products out there, and I can honestly say that this stuff is amazing! It is definitely my new indulgence.

Not only is the lotion itself amazing, but I love the bottle it comes in, too. The bottle is designed for the most part like your regular lotion bottles, but the opening on the pump is on the bottom. It's hard to describe, but you know how on most lotion bottles, the stuff usually comes out from the front? Well when you pump this into your hand, it comes out straight down instead of forward. It's really random, but for some reason, I just love this design. I wish all lotions had this kind of bottle..

Going back to the lotion itself, I must say that the scent is amazing. It meets fruity perfection, with the addictive aroma of sweet, fresh, papaya. As for texture, it has a nice, silky consistency; the kind of lotion that absorbs very quickly and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

I have sensitive skin, so I am very glad to have found such a great lotion that works so well for me. I have used it for about a month now, as both a body lotion and a face lotion, and I have definitely seen a huge improvement. My skin is much softer and more even toned. I have noticed that papaya is a popular ingredient in products to lighten skin if you get an unwanted tan, and it seems that using this makes my skin really glow. I hope other people can benefit from it too! Strongly recommended!
