Aloe Vera Gel to Curl Hair

There is nothing more natural than using Aloe Vera Gel in it's purest form. As I am a beauty therapist, I cannot comment on hair - however I did see a very cool article from khaleejtimes.com showing that you can use Aloe Vera gel to curl hair.

For the following you can use Aloe Vera gel straight from the plant, or if you prefer to use a contained Aloe Vera gel, Forever offer 100% pure stablised Aloe Vera.

First,damp the hair, then rub aloe vera into it and scrunch the hair, making curls. Upon drying, the curls will set. This gel will also keep the hair healthy and full.

Aloe Vera and exfoliators

Training with Dermalogica allowed me to find the benefits of all the ingredients used in facials. If you are a beauty therapist who uses Dermalogica it is very useful to understand why each ingredient works well for each treatment.

For example, the popular exfoliator provided by Dermalogica "skin prep scrub" contains Aloe Vera to reduce the chance of over stimulating the skin.

Forever, the largest growers of Aloe Vera in the world have created a "deep cleanse exfoliator". Forever are great if you are organic conscious and are seeking to purchase from a nature conscious company.

Aloe Vera in Spa treatments

There is nothing better than seeing a client who feels refreshed and revitalized after a treatment. As a moisturising ingredient, Aloe Vera is often used in facial masks.

Hotels and Spas throughout the UK use Aloe Vera in their treatments.

For example take the Hillgrove Hotel Spa. They offer what is called an Oxy Vital mask for Anti- inflammatory and calming effect. The mask is rich in aloe vera which desensitizes, hydrates and heals the skin. Good for sensitive and super -sensitive skin.

Forever produce a powdered Aloe Vera mask which can be mixed with water. You can also add other natural ingredients such as honey!

Water content in Aloe Vera gel

One of the main reasons Aloe Vera is great for the skin, is because it actually contains around 99% water. Such a gel which can retain water, and feel comfortable sitting on the skin means it is the perfect natural after sun and moisturizer.

Aloe Vera gets bigger on the high street

There are various shops in the high street which offer a range of Aloe Vera products.
The two biggest ones I have come across are the ones in The Body Shop, and in Holland and Barretts.

The Body Shop

Aloe Soothing Day Cream

Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser

Holland and Barrett

Aloe Vera sun skin lotion

Aloe Vera lip balm

What is unique about Forever Aloe Vera is not only are they the biggest growers of Aloe Vera in the world, but they are expert at cultivating the crop so that they produce products containing pure Aloe Vera gel.

Many products you see on the high street are not made with pure Aloe Vera, so when shopping for such products, be careful that you are not buying an impure product.

To make life easier, shop with Forever. They remain a staple for the inside of the health and beauty industry and the organic world.

Aloe Vera in a toner

The International Dermal institute are a well established organization that provide research and support for professionals who deal with skin care.

They often have news articles which give easy to digest bits of advice.

Their advice for keeping a great skin is to carry around a portable spritz. They suggest to look out for natural ingredients in a toner due to it's natural hydrating properties.

Forever's Aloe Vera toner (above) is the perfect hydration skin tool for all year round.

Why use Forever Aloe Vera?

Apart from Forever being the largest growers of Aloe Vera in the world, their unique independent distributor program means it has become a well established product for the inside of the health and beauty industry. By avoiding high street shops Forever has maintained it's industry standards and have not become commercialized like alot of other products on the high street.

For this reason individual customers enjoy coming back to Forever. Not only are their products well loved by the inside of the health and beauty industries... but also the local community. From local football teams and sports enthusiasts to Mums and Dads it's a trusted favorite.

What is organic?

Organic is not only now popular in the food industries - but in the health and beauty industries as well.

But what does organic mean?

Organic means that the plants are produced using methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Organic plants are not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives.
