Aloe Vera is famed for its skin healing health benefits. It has been used for centuries as a natural treatment for a variety of skin ailments including eczema, psoriasis, acne, burns and wounds. Aloe Vera contains a high number of active components including vitamins, minerals and fatty acids which are essential for healing, repairing and improving skin.

Our recipe for an Aloe Vera-based Natural Moisturiser combines the healing properties of Aloe Vera gel with skin enhancing essential oils to create a tailor made skin treatment that is highly effective and gives noticeable results.

A little goes a long way as a pea-sized drop is all you need for each area you are treating.

Ingredients:

1 part pure aloe vera gel

1/2 part carrier oil (argan, sweet almond, coconut or jojoba oil)

6 drops essential oil (lavender oil or of your choice)

Method:

Mix all the ingredients together until they become cloudy. Test on skin and if the texture is too greasy, add a little more aloe vera gel. If it dries stiff, apply a few drops of carrier oil to soften.
