Aloe Vera: Wonder Plant

By Kendra Whitmire

Aloe vera is truly a wonder plant. Its soothing properties are well known in the skin care industry; however, aloe vera can cure a myriad of disorders. You will want to start growing your own aloe vera plants, as it will be like having a pharmacy in your backyard. In fact, by owning a healthy aloe vera plant, you have no need for a first aid kit because it is antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal.

The healing properties of aloe vera are found in the gel within the leaves of the plant. Because it is a desert plant, it has to be very careful about retaining water and nutrients.

Why Exfoliation Should be Part of Your Beauty Regime

By Kendra Whitmire

No matter your skin type or age, exfoliation is a must for your beauty regime. Exfoliation has many benefits, including helping balance skin and take years off. Your skin goes through a natural process of renewal, but the dead skin cells can often end up clogging pores or making your skin look dull. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin through either a scrub or chemical, giving your skin a great boost.

Exfoliation makes you look younger and more radiant. As the skin ages, the natural skin cell turnover process slows down. By exfoliating, you are stimulating that process, allowing for the new, younger skin cells to be the top layer. Getting rid of the old, dull skin cells brings freshness to your look...

By: Ruth Perrelli

I had noticed that my skin wasn’t looking as good as it once did whilst on holiday last week and decided that it needed a little bit of tender loving care when I got back. My beauty routine consisted mainly of a quick splash of water and some cheap moisturiser. Maybe that was why it wasn’t looking so great nowadays?
