Dear Friends,

Have you wondered what is so miracle about Aloe Vera? We have heard it is good for our skin. How true is it? How can we ensure we have chosen the right Aloe Vera product? I've read several articles online. Here is one that I would like to share with you:

Skin Problems Helped by Aloe Vera

Some of the skin complaints that aloe vera can relieve

In the west today, aloe vera is perhaps best known for its beneficial effect on the skin. It has been used for successfully treating the following ailments, among others:

• Acne and pimples
• Itching
• Sores
• Burns
• Sunburn
• Itching
• Eczema
• Pigmentation
• Psoriasis
• Warts
• Wrinkles and other signs of aging
• Minor wounds, scratches and cuts
• Swelling
• Bruises
• Boils
• Hives and other skin problems caused by allergies
• Insect bites
• Foot fungal infections
• Bedsores
• Corns
• Excess oil and dryness

What Does Aloe Vera Do For the Skin?

How it helps

Aloe vera boasts over 200 biologically active ingredients (and they're just the ones that have been discovered so far!), which, when applied to the skin, can have powerful healing properties. Aloe vera:

• Is anti-inflammatory
• Is anti-bacterial - it is especially good for controlling the bacteria that cause acne
• Help the skin to hydrate itself
• Helps to remove dead skin cells
• May help to reduce scarring
• Helps beneficial substances to transport through the skin
• Helps to relieve pain from burns, cuts etc.

Studies on aloe vera have shown that it can aid in the healing of burns and wounds, and decrease redness and swelling. Creams containing aloe gel and aloe vera extract have also been found to be effective in treating frostbite and psoriasis respectively. There are no known side effects associated with using aloe vera topically, although it is always wide to do a patch test when applying any new substance to your skin, just in case.

The Best Aloe Vera Skin Care Products

What to look for

There is a wide range of aloe vera-based skincare products on the market today, and making specific recommendations is difficult, since each person has different needs. Here are some general things to bear in mind when choosing an aloe vera skincare product:

• Ensure that it's made with good quality aloe vera, and that it contains adequate concentrations to fulfil its claims. Many products don't actually contain enough aloe vera to have much effect!
  
• Organically produced ingredients are preferable
  
• Avoid products that are full of unnecessary preservatives, colourings, perfumes and other additives
  
• Look for product reviews online to see what others are saying
  
• Try a patch test first in case of bad reactions (adverse reactions to aloe vera are very rare, but sometimes other ingredients in aloe vera products can cause problems)
  
• Make your own - this is the best way to ensure that you are getting a quality a product, and can be quick and easy, especially if you just use the gel on its own

I'm so impressed and proud as FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS' Aloe Vera fulfills all the criteria above! Let's continue to share the wonders of Aloe Vera to our loved ones! =)

True Life Testimonial - Wei Tien

Name: Wei Tian
Age: 23 years old
Problem: Acne skin
Root cause: Constipation
Gain: Fair and good complexion and Self - Confident.

I had constipation for almost 7 years.

I could only visit the toilet every 4 days.

My complexion was not good too.

I had very low self-esteem and not confident.

I dislike people looking at my face.

I hate to walk past those counters promoting skincare. They always asked " Miss, do you want to try our.... It can help your complexion..." I am always a target to them.

Upon a chance, I was introduced to Forever products through my boyfriend and initially I took the Berry Nectar 1 bottle a day for about 4 days and reducing the quantity subsequently.

I could pass motion with the help of it but however my complexion did not turn any better, in fact, it worsen!

I was so afraid but I was told that there might be some "good turning effects" especially i got lots of toxins in my intestines.

I continue to consume the "Her Pack" and use the skin care range "Beauty Pack", my complexion started to improve gradually !

With just 2-3 months consumption of the products, i could go toilet to "do business" everyday!

I'm extremely thankful to Forever Living products! And now, whenever i walked past those counters promoting skincare, i do not invite those stares.

I strongly believe in the products and I've helped some of my friends improve their complexion too.

I'm now sharing with you this because I believe it can help you too!

Jojobe beads scrub - very rare ingredient

I found this magazine article online. This magazine has done a review on different type of facial scrubs. (click on the picture to enlarge.)

"The mistake people make with exfoliation is being to harsh. That can create problems, like broken capillaries, irritation or acne." says dermatologist Jeannette Grat.

This is what we have been educate our friends and customers to be gentle to our skin.

In the red box, which i highlighted to you, it said, "Microbeads made of wax or jojoba are suitable for dry skin. Avoid almond shells and apricot kernels - their jagged edges scrape and irritate the skin."

Wow! I have been using this Forever Aloe Scrub with microbeads made of jojoba beads. How wonderful this product is! :)

I have a normal to oily combination skin, and I find that a lot of the scrubs in the drugstores are too harsh for my skin.

This aloe + jojoba beads suits my skin perfectly, no irritation, no reddness and no outbreak. Because the beads of the jojoba is round, when I scrub on my skin, these beads will be rolling on my skin gently. My skin feels soft and smooth after each scrub.

I will normally scrub my facial at least 2 - 3 times a week, that is because I have normal to oily skin. For those who have dry skin, best to use once a week. Dry skin can also apply the scrub 2-3 times a week without rubbing on the skin. Wash it away after apply for 5 min on the facial. This action can also helps to exfoliate the skin.

The best thing is it is so affordable. Very reasonable price for a good quality products.




Sometimes, I will use this newly launched Sonya Deep-cleansing Exfoliator.




Beside jojoba beads are added in this product, they added white tea, cucumber, and lemon.

White tea is scarcer than the other traditional teas, and quite a bit more expensive.

It protects the skin and helps to reverse some of the damage (eg. UV ray, stress or poor diet). It provide healthy and radiant skin.

Cucumber provides you happy skin.

Due to its cooling effect it can be termed as a magicwand for all skin problems.
Cucumber contains ascorbic and caffeic acids which prevent water retention, which is helpful for swollen eyes, big dark circles under eyes, sunburn and dermatitis.
The cleaning and cleansing property helps your skin tremendously making it soft and supple and gets your skin relaxed in no time.

Lemon has astringent properties and can thus help in whitening skin.
It helps in stimulating circulation of the blood thereby enhancing the health of body as well as skin.

These products are soooo good that it is definately worth trying. You will not regret it.

I promise. :)

WOW!! Blackheads were all gone!

The customers feedback to me why they love our facial treatment!


Best 1 - All the products used for the facial treatments are from plant extracts. Mild and yet very effective.

Best 2 - We do not encourage squeezing of blackheads or pimples. Sometimes, squeezing may cause inflammation.

We have a wonderful product which I love it so much too..
By applying it, dry for 10 min, all your blackheads will be detected from your skin!

Shiok to see all the blackheads on the paper, I named it as " Blackheads Plantation" hahha

" Blackheads Plantation"

Painless********* most of my male customers love it so much, really....

Best 3 - Location. It is central, yet secluded location.

Central Area because we are located at Hong Kong street. Nearest MRT is Clarke Quay, Exit E. Cross the road and turn to your right. Walk till you see a road sign - Hong Kong Street, turn left and we are around the corner.
(we might be upgrade to a better location soon, come to the blog for more details.)

Secluded area because we are located at the 3rd level of the shop houses. For guys, no fear of being seen walking out of a salon.

Best 4 - No hard selling of products.

No one likes that feeling, We do not like it either. Therefore, customers can be assured that we are not a typical commercialized beauty salon. WE emphasize on the results far more then anything else.



As for the "removal of blackheads" product's review, stay tune for the next post!
