My Favorite Aloe Products

I love all the Forever aloe products but thought I’d share my top favorites here with you. These are in no particular order.

ALOE DRINK
I use all the drinks at different times as it stops me getting bored of the taste! I have to put these as a favorite because they are the reason the IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) I used to suffer with, went.

ALOE BATH GELEE
I use a little of this on a loofah a couple of times a week head to toe for a wonderful exfoliation. I’ve tried others but this for me is by far the nicest. It’s also great as a bubble bath.

R3 FACTOR SKIN CREME
I like this purely for vanity reasons! It makes such a visible difference to my skin ( I use it on my face day and night) and actually DOES what most skin creams only promise.
I’d used all the main brands for years before using this and for me there’s no comparison. Cleopatra used aloe for her skin so that’s good enough for me!

My full facial regime is:
Exfoliate twice a week with the Aloe Scrub.
Splash on the Rehydrating toner.
Put on the R3 (a little goes a long way - the tube lasts ages).
Put on either the Firming foundation lotion or the moisture lotion or the aloe lotion (which is lighter than the moisture lotion). Stop Press: Now that the Forever Aloe Sonya skin range is available I use that as it's even better than the products just mentioned - more on this in a future post but you can find out more in my shop).

ALOE LIPS
I’m always applying lip salve (it’s a bit of a problem really!) and I like this one because it’s much softer and more moisturising than others. It also doubles as a first aid stick which is handy, for insect bites, cuts, stings etc.

ALOE TOOTHGEL
I like this because it’s non-abrasive. It seems to polish the teeth and leave them feeling so smooth. On the rare occasion I use a different brand my teeth feel yuk! (Technical term!)
It’s also good for the gums due to the high aloe content - my Mum’s dentist buys it for his customers by the box-load!

ARCTIC SEA OMEGA
This is on my favourites list because it makes a big difference to my concentration levels. Without it I can’t focus on one subject for long. The added benefits are that it’s good for joints and cholestrol.
I use this product rather than other brands because it’s from the arctic sea oily fish, rather than from more polluted seas.

FOREVER LITE
This is really a meal replacement shake, but I take it if I’m feeling unwell or a bit run-down. It just makes me feel better!
My friend’s son loves the chocolate one and that’s now his breakfast. It’s full of good nutrients and no bulking stuff so he’s really benefiting.

MULTI MACA
I (used to) get raging PMT so when Forever brought this product out everyone who knows me was pleased! I take it for just 10 days a month (prior to a period) and it has made a huge difference. In fact I realized how big a difference last month when I forgot to start taking it in time...
It’s ideal also for all the symptoms of the menopause.
A friend of mine said it got rid of ALL her menopause symptoms. (She reckoned she had about 12 symptoms!)
It’s been used in Peru for 2000 years for enhancing libido, maintaining stamina and preventing fatigue.

Aloe Product Tips

These aloe vera product tips are based on ways I personally use these aloe vera products, and I thought you may find them useful too! NB The tips only apply to this brand of aloe vera i.e. Forever Living. Always consult your doctor if you have a medical condition.

ALOE TOOTHGEL
Apart from the obvious use for this product, I also swallow a little if I get a sore throat. The combination of the aloe and the propolis just seem to do the trick. Please note; it can be very dangerous to swallow regular toothgel due to the fluoride content.

I also use it to clean silver jewelry. It’s non-abrasive so doesn’t scratch and the silver looks amazing afterwards! Strange but true!


ALOE MPD (multi-purpose detergent)
I not only use this for cleaning dishes and surfaces and the bathroom; I also use it as screenwash in my car - you only need a TINY amount as it’s so concentrated. I also clean the car with it and use it on the carpets.


BEE POLLEN
I take this before doing any kind of exercise as I can then keep going without feeling exhausted. So, before I go mountain biking or skiing or doing martial arts I chew a few! If you have a hectic job or family life, running after the kids, you may find it useful. Hubby a bit tired in the evenings? .......


AFTERSHAVE BALM
Ok, this is really for the guys after they shave, but I tell you something - it’s amazing on the legs ladies, after shaving! They feel incredibly silky and the scent is gorgeous!


ALOE LIPS
I have one of these in every hand bag and pocket!
That’s partly because I’m a lip-salve addict (!) and these are very moisturizing, but also because they are so handy as a first aid stick for minor things like paper cuts, stings etc.


ALOE ACTIVATOR
This was really intended as a skin product but because it’s so pure we call it the eyes, ears, nose and throat doctor as I use it for eye infections (diluted 50/50with purified water), blocked sinuses, earache or other ear problems, and you can gargle with it for throat problems, although I prefer to swallow the tooth gel for a sore throat. 

ALOE GELLY TUBE
I put one of these tubes in the fridge and dab a little under my eyes if they are tired, puffy or for dark circles. I put it on at night usually as a preventative measure!

ARCTIC SEA OMEGA
This is one of the supplements that Forever do. It a high potency fish oil product, importantly from OILY FISH (unlike cod-liver oil!) from the ARCTIC SEA (as opposed to oceans full of pollution!).
Now, most people take this for their joints or to lower cholestrol, but I take it for CONCENTRATION. My mind just flits about otherwise and I find it difficult to focus and get things done. So, this is one of my top favorite products. I SO notice the difference if I don’t take it. Quite scary actually.

Here’s another interesting use for it that I discovered recently - for varicose veins. My friend has had CHRONIC varicose veins in one leg for decades. She was told they were too far gone to operate on (and anyway her friends who have had that op said the veins just come right back some time later).

She took 2 of the arctic sea three times a day (not a cheap product but hey, if it works...) She also rubbed on, gently, the Forever Aloe MSM Gel and took Lecithin (from the health shop).

After just weeks she proudly showed me her bad leg. The first shock for me was that her leg was no longer black, green and purple from the ankle right up her calf. It was white. But on top of that no bulging veins. No exaggeration, I have never seen such a result, in 15 years of using these products. I thought she was mistakenly showing me the wrong leg. So I made her show me both... To say she is over the moon is an understatement.

Now, there’s no saying whether these 3 products would have the same effect on others, but I had to share that with you just in case.
