With all the cold weather now, I have been experiencing very dry skin. I have also been looking for a more natural product, as they may be better for my skin. I came across the Holland and Barrett Aloe Vera Gel in a sale in the health store so decided to try it out especially since I heard many people mention that aloe vera was great for the skin.
This bio active treatment gel is made from hand filleted organic aloe vera gel and for a 200mL tube, the cost is £4.99. (it also comes as a 100mL tube). It claims so "help soothe, moisturise and soften dry skin. It can be applied to stretch marks, dry or chapped skin and skin irritations."
The gel is clear and colourless and does have a strange smell to it
though it is a mild one. It is very easy to apply and well absorbed. Unfortunately I found that it did not moisturise my skin at all. I put it on my dry legs and when is was all absorbed in, my legs very smooth but still looked extremely dry! On the other hand it was great for cuts and sore skin - it was soothing and has helped with the healing of my skin!
I now use is every night on my face, and I feel that my skin has improved and is healthier (the number of blemishes I get has reduced). It is also the first line product I use for soothing and healing if my skin cracks.
