I do spend a whole lot on beauty items, but one of my in history favourites is definitely one of the cheapest as well as simple to get hold of products on the market, Holland & Barratt Aloe Vera Gel. This gel is 99.9% pure natural aloe vera, and is as natural as you can get if you don't take your gel directly from the plant!
This gel costs £3.55 for 100ml but is currently on offer for £2.55. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Some with the main uses I personally have for natural aloe-vera gel are:
1. As a toner
2. Treatment for eczema
3. Treatment for sunburn
4. Treatment for prickly heat
5. Curl definer
6. Acne / Acne scar treatment
7. Makeup primer
8. On top of moisturiser to 'lock in' the product
I'm no science expert, and I haven't looked into how this system works too much. What I've gathered is that Aloe Vera Gel is extremely similar in genetic makeup to human skin (gross!). But this is why why it's very effective in healing any skin complaints.
I utilize gel every morning and evening among cleansing and moisturising. I apply a generous blob around my face, neck and chest. When the moisture from your gel dries, the skin will feel verrrry tight! So you will want to moisturise after, although you may have oily skin!
I've recently began to suffer from adult acne, and this gel has been a blessing. 9 times beyond 10, it'll stop a place forming in it's tracks. If you've already got the spot, a blob directly covering it, should help reduce it overnight. It'll reduce it enough where it's visible, but flat, enough to cover it with makeup basically!
It's also great (but admittedly slow working) with healing scars from older spots. You won't see results immediately like you would with a few harsher peel type products, in case you keep this treatment up, you will observe the difference over a month approximately.
Unlike acne remedies in general, Aloe Vera is also good just as one anti-ageing product, so when I use this, I don't need to bother about premature ageing.
The good reason that I love this one of the most, and the reason why I tried it in my face to start with is because of a hypersensitivity I had for the acne treatment Benzyl Peroxide (BP). I'd been using BP for about a week and although drying had occurred, I was loving how quick it dry out my blemishes! Then abruptly, I had the worse eczema like rash throughout my neck. It was so painful, hot and itchy! I tried the standard eczema creams purchased through the chemist nonetheless they really stung when applied and didn't help whatsoever. Hay fever tablets helped a good deal, but didn't provide any soothing qualities.
It was only when I remembered how Aloe Vera Gel helped my sunburn and prickly heat that I consideration to try it in my neck. It helped immediately and yes it two days I was totally healed without peeling or drying! I'd usually expect crazy peeling / drying from a reaction like this!
So I researched it a lttle bit online and discovered that a good deal of people can't live without aloe as a possible acne treatment. Since I wasn't returning to BP I thought I'd give it a go. I was at a little of a loss about what to try next since anything too harsh was a no-no.
So I've been keeping up the treatment twice a day for the last month and possess definitely seen a marked improvement. Unfortunately new spots do form, since this is hormonal acne I'm working with, and there is not a lot I can do without taking prescription drugs (which I'm not ready to do). However, the aloe does apparently stop the spots in their tracks for probably the most part, and then for any that do creep up, it heals a lot quicker than any other product. It also takes each of the redness away presently.
Aloe alone is not the answer to my skin problems, but it definitely is among the main contenders! I'd highly recommend this system to you are not the same / similar skin issues as me!
