Aloe Vera Gel
Made with extract of pure, cooling Aloe Vera the easily absorbed gel is an absolute must for damaged skin whatever your skin type. It’s absolutely fantastic at cooling and quickly soothing either sun burnt or wind burnt skin and helps to repair weather – damage instantly. Aloe Vera is universally recognized as an excellent way to treat minor burns cuts, scrapes and mild rashes and we think this particular brand is the best we’ve used. Apply sparingly in thin layers as often as needed over the affected areas, a really handy product to keep in year round and costing around £5 for quite a large pump dispenser bottle it is available at Boots and other chemists.

Hip & Thigh Gel
Of all the products we feature this product always comes out top for its aroma! Of course it’s excellent at its job, but the fragrance is extremely sensual and provocative with extracts of patchouli, horse chestnut and other pure essential oils. Its active ingredients include stimulating ginkgo biloba, ivy and butchers broom with essence of damask rose water all blended into a wonderfully invigorating gel. Massage the gel firmly over the skin after a bath or shower using strokes towards the heart, concentrating on any area that needs firming, including stomach, upper arms and inner thighs. The gel can relieve signs of puffiness when massaged gently over the area and is particularly good for areas suffering from fluid retention. Can be used alone or under a body lotion for those with a drier skin, its best used in the morning to help with circulation.
• Pregnant women may want to consult their GP before using products containing essential oils.
