My daily Beauty Routine with Aloe Ferox

Hi, Everyone...

Wow, I haven't been updating you guys for a while now... 
Where do I start??!! hehe 

******************************************************************************

Aloe Ferox
I believe if I sell a product to people I must at least be familiarized with it.

Okay so my daily beauty routine goes as follows:

1. Foaming Cleanser
Foaming cleanser is a liquid facial cleanser ideally suited for normal and combination skin, but my skin type is oily and during my time studying Beauty Therapy, I have learnt for oily skin, washing your skin with a foam based face wash is suggested. Dirt and oils are gently dissolved, make-up is removed and pores are cleansed. 

From Aloe: Cleanse the skin at least once a day thoroughly but gently.

TIP! Use cleansing action to massage skin gently. This promotes blood circulation which in turn promotes a rosy appearance. 

Why should you use a daily cleanser?
      Locks the moisture in
      Helps protect the skin against dehydration
      Aloe is beneficial for the elasticity of the skin

2. Balancing Toner
Balancing Toner refreshes and cools the skin after cleansing face and neck area. It also helps to remove remaining dirt and make-up. Balancing Toner is an absolutely necessary part of the facial routine because of acts as an astringent after cleansing; closes the pores of the skin, restores the pH balance of the skin; protects against bacteria and contamination; absorbs excess oil. 

From Aloe: Balancing Toner is lightly fragranced, but a non-perfumed version is available for the sensitive and allergic skin.

Why should you use a toner daily?
Aloe helps improve the penetrability of the skin to absorb nutrients and moisturizers.  
Allow protects the skin against dehydration. 
Balancing Toner does not contain alcohol. 


3. Super Aloe Gel
Super Aloe gel is made up of a combination of herbs that are known for their positive effect on various skin conditions. 
A skin care routine without Super Aloe Gel is incomplete. Aloe improves absorption of nutrients and has a positive effect on the repairing action and the elasticity of the skin.
      Important antioxidants in Super Aloe Gel helps to slow signs of aging. 

From Aloe: Apply 2 - 3 x per day to the skin where necessary. 

Why should you use Super Aloe Gel daily?
Aloe contains at least 130 medicinal agents with various actions: anti-inflammatory, analgesic calming, antiseptic, germicidal, anti-viral, anti-tumour, anti-cancer, detoxifying, stimulating cell renewal, stimulating wound healing and destroying parasitises.
       Aloe helps to improve penetration in the skin so that nutrients and moisturizers can be absorbed more easily 
       Aloe improves elasticity and has a repairing effect on the skin. 


4.Moisturizer
Moisturizer is ideally suited for oily, normal and combination skin. The moisturizer also delays the aging process.
Treatment of the skin frequently causes the oil glands to function better and improve the condition of the skin.

From Aloe: Moisturizer to be applied before aloe gels dries completely. This promotes absorption. 

Why should you use Moisturizer daily?
Advantageous to delay signs of aging
Beneficial for cell rejuvenation and suppleness
Helps protect against dehydration and pollution
Nourishes the skin

I have been using Aloe Ferox since May 2016, this year and I absolutely love it! I love that all the products are made from the Aloe plant. 

I have really been seeing some awesome results, however, I started using the Radical Image capsules which really had a great effect on my breakout, then clever "me" stopped taking it and I started breaking out again. The secret to have a great flawless looking skin, one should do exercise, eat healthily and cut down on all those nice sweets and fizzy drinks, even alcohol. You also need to follow a daily beauty routine, morning and night. Wash, tone, moisturize. Even if you have a beautiful skin - stick to what I have mentioned above... as you want to keep that good looking skin right?

More to follow tomorrow! :) 

Have a great day further...

Living Healthy



The last two weeks I decided to live a little bit more healthy! If it's working? Well I think so because I'm not as tired as I use to be (all the time).

So here is my secrets 

The very first thing I drink is a glass of water or a 500ml bottle of water. Right through the day I try to consume at least 2L water a day. I don't take less then 1.5L a day.

Why water everyday is good for you??

  • Water has no side effect!
  • Fluid Balance - Roughly 60% of the body is made of water. Drinking enough water maintains the body's fluid balance, which helps transport nutrients in the body, regulate body temperature, digest food and more. 
  • Calories Control - Drinking water could also help you with weight loss. 
  • This is rather interesting - sweating at the gym causes muscles to lose water and when the muscle don't have enough water, they get tired. For extra energy, try drinking water to push through that final set of squats.
  • Clearer Skin - Some toxins in your body can cause the skin to inflame, which can cause clogged pores and acne. While science saying water makes the skin wrinkle free, water also flushes out the toxins and can prevent pimples.
  • Kidney Function - Our kidney process 200 quarts of blood daily, sifting out waste and transporting urine to the bladder. Yet, kidney needs enough fluids to clear away what we don't need in the body. 
  • Productive boost - To really focus, a glass of water could help people concentrate and stay refreshed and alert.
  • Fatigue buster - Water can fight tired eyes. One of the most common symptoms of dehydration is tiredness.
  • Hangover help - a glass of water will help to hydrate the body and stop the pounding headache. 
  • Pain Prevention - Aching joints and muscle cramps and strains can all occur if the body is dehydrated.
  • Keep things flowing -  Nobody wants to deal with digestion issues. Drinking enough water adds fluids to the colon which helps things, move smoothly. 
  • Sickness fighter - Water may help with decongestion and dehydration, helping the body bounce back when feeling under the weather. Drinking fluids hasn't scientifically proven to beat colds, so don't swap this for a trip to the doctor or other cold remedies.
  • Brain Boost - Water promotes clearer thinking, this was shown by a study in London.

Then I drink a cup of Milo - to warm me up especially in the Winter, Summer I will 
perhaps drink it cold, just as tasty!
Milo is great because it's a malt energy drink. It contains Energy, Vitamins, Calcium and Iron.

Breakfast - I have my Jungle Oats Energy bar. They are great, they come in different flavors. My personal favorite is the dark chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Berries. The taste is great and if you are a chocolate lover, there is a bit of chocolate cover added to this 'amazing' bar. I don't eat nuts at all and i sometimes I eat fruits so these bars is great for picky people like me.

By 11 o'clock I'll usually have a cup of soup to fill me until lunch. My favorites are oxtail, hearty beef and creamy mushroom (the knorr brand, just add water type of soup).
Tablets time! I buy my tablets from Springbok (Alberton) 
I take my Multi Vitamins (A, B1, B3, C, D3) 
Calcium and Magnesium (Chewable tablets) 
These tablets are very affordable some tablets and a huge variety you can choose of!

By 1 o'clock I'll have my lunch. I try to cut down on my white bread. I love dumpy bread so I'll have a smooth peanut butter sandwich. Which is great because it really makes you full. I always try to have something for lunch that i know will fill me until I get home and I have dinner. So whether its a 'boerewors roll', (a South African Traditional Hot dog ;)  a toasted sandwich etc. I have to be honest I don't check my calories and I don't over eat myself. 

By this time I usually have 1L of water in the tummy! 

Then during the day I'll have my small yogurt or 10 small flavored rice cakes. Maybe another cup of Milo or tea but not likely. 

Basically my main focus is to drink enough water everyday. Not just because of all above mentioned reasons but because of my skin. My skin is my main focus. Having a beautiful flawless skin is the key to so many things, self confidence, no foundation needed ;)! and sooooo many more reasons! 
I used to be on The Pill but decided to leave it and focus on all the right things to make my body and skin function in a more natural way. Exercise & healthy living! 

This is my challenge from the first of July 2015. Meanwhile I'll cut down on take-outs and chocolates and more of exercise and water... and .... healthy living ... and salads.... 

Will let you guys know how it goes. 

Have a great weekend!!
