Uses of Aloe Vera

Testimonials and Tips

ALOE VERA GEL DRINK

Since I have been taking Aloe Vera Gel I have noticed a great change in my sleeping pattern and overall appearance. My skin also has improved and I feel less stressed and in better health than I have been for a long time. 

I have used quite a number of the Forever Living Products and am very pleased with them. I took the Aloe Vera Gel 3 times daily as recommended for 60 days and found it helpful with my digestive system and also it gave me a feeling of general well-being and vitality.

My daughter was suffering from conjunctivitis in one eye, so to help soothe this we poured some cool Aloe Vera Gel straight from the fridge, and got her to blink into it a few times. She said it felt wonderful afterwards, and the next morning the conjunctivitis had gone, saving her a trip to the doctors, and a prescription for eye drops.

ALOE FIRST SPRAY

After spending a few too many hours in the sunshine last weekend, I discovered Aloe First makes the most amazing after-sun lotion I have ever tried. Pop it in the fridge for that extra cooling effect. By the next day, any traces of sunburn had totally disappeared. This product really is a summer must-have!

I always get terrible prickly heat when I go on holiday but this year I applied Aloe First liberally every day after sunbathing and didn’t suffer from prickly heat at all.

Aloe First acts as an excellent base moisturiser. Spray it all over and you’ll find the creams and lotions go into the skin a lot easier, plus smaller amounts are needed.

My top tip is to relieve dry, brittle hair especially African and Caribbean hair. Spray Aloe First onto a shaft of hair and or the scalp, to protect hair when undoing braids or combing out knots this great to reduce hair breakage. For easy use and to put in your handbag pour some into a small spray pump bottle.

My daughter loves swimming but prefers to keep her hair long, so it tangles all the time. We started to use Aloe First as a detangler and hair protector from the chlorine and the sun. Her hair looks healthy, straight and no more tears!

Today whilst I was setting up a stall at a Summer event my products were attracting hoards of wasps - not my favourite creatures. The Aloe Berry Nectar seemed to be of particular interest. Not really knowing what else to do I sprayed Aloe First liberally over the table and products and within a few seconds I was wasp free!

Aloe First is an excellent facial cleanser and make-up remover. This is especially great for sensitive or mature skin types. Leaves the skin surface smooth and fresh for then applying other Aloe products. Economical too for those on a tight budget! 

ALOE MPD all-purpose DETERGENT

A few weeks ago, a visitor to my house dropped some curry on my cream sofa! I was dreading the after effects... as many of you know, saffron is totally impervious to the most eager endeavours to remove it! However, I dampened the cushion and applied MPD, rinsed, then applied MPD again with a toothbrush and - Hey Presto! You would never know there had ever been an accident.

Now for a brilliant tip for all DIY mechanics, especially if you have one of those very dirty diesel engines. Having done some work around the engine of my car from underneath, my arms, face etc became covered in that usual dirty black grime. On the first evening I scrubbed like mad to remove some with a nailbrush until I was sore. The next night I tried to find an easier and quicker option, I did, MPD! Just a couple of squirts on a scrunchy and what magic, a few rubs here there and everywhere including my face and all was spotlessly clean. As a mechanic, I know there is no product that good. 

As I'm far too vain to grow old gracefully, I have a mobile hairdresser who comes to my house to cut and colour my hair. She is always very careful, however, somehow this weekend, four large splodges of auburn coloured hair dye ended up on my light beige carpet!!! I recently bought a bottle of MPD but for some reason was reluctant to try it or anything for that matter. Anyway after several hours, I put a tiny drop onto one splodge, gently rubbed it in to the carpet and low and behold the stain went - I couldn't believe it - my partner need never know - phew!!!! Please let everyone know - this could save their lives too!! 

I'm always annoyed to find retail outlets using stickers that are not easy to peel off, especially on glassware items. However, after removing the paper from the sticker, a quick squirt with diluted MPD and a gentle rub with your finger is enough to remove the sticky mess left behind.

I used a small amount of diluted MPD on a cloth to clean my stainless steel bread bin, kettle and toaster and had amazing results. Finger marks were easily removed and the surfaces were left gleaming!

Try cleaning your patio with MPD - 120 ml to 1 gallon of water, leave it for five minutes then brush. The dirt comes off so easily and it's biodegradable so no worries about the environment. 

If you clean your spectacles with MPD - just spraying it on and rubbing it gently with your fingers before rinsing off and drying - your glasses absolutely gleam and also become much more resistant to grease and dirt!

I do a lot of motorway driving and this time of the year the screen gets very dirty. I've tried various brands of mainstream screen wash and found they do the job OK but are very expensive. I have now discovered the perfect solution. Pour a full capful of MPD into your car's screen wash tank and top up with water in the usual way. Your windscreen will be kept crystal clear, absolutely no smears or smudges. Give it a go, you'll never use anything else!

My daughter was in her Christmas Ballet show the other Sunday. The makeup you have to apply is anything but subtle. She got bright red lipstick on her baby pink cardigan. Out came the neat MPD and I left it soaking for an hour or two then washed it and to my surprise ALL the lipstick stain has gone. Another triumph for MPD (whatever did I do before I discovered it?!?!)
