Forever Living | Skin & Hair Care

Looking after my skin is always a tedious process, although recently I've found myself getting into a solid regime, where I'm always remembering to give my skin some TLC before hopping into bed. Fortunately, my work friend, Emma, works with a company called Forever Living at promoting and sharing their products with friends and family. She offered me the chance to take home her Forever Living product for FREE (something you guys could do to) to trial the products, see which items worked well on my skin and just get an overall feel for the brand. If you wish to try these products or anything else within Forever Living's range, then don't hesitate to leave me a comment so I can get you in touch with Emma. That way you can get a more in-depth sight into the brand and potentially arrange a meet-up so you can test the products too!

Let's look at the brand itself...Derived from Arizona, in 1978, Rex Maughan founded Forever Living in hope to bring better health products to the people of America, and eventually the world. The products are primarily made with a specific type of Aloe, that is famously known for its 'magical soothing abilities'. This specific Aloe was chosen as it is one of the oldest recognized botanical products and works quickly by moisturizing, cooling and soothing the skin. Aloe Vera aids your skin in a way that helps it to regenerate itself. Forever Living sells a vast range of products including skin care, hair care, drinks, gels, supplements and makeup. Within the hamper given, I managed to narrow down to my favourite 7 products so I can share with you my experience with each.

Aloe Vera Gelly - A great product for those with sensitive skin. The thick gel formulation works its way into your skin to sooth and calm irritation. Aloe Vera Gelly moisturizes sensitive tissues to ensure your skin is soothed in the safest way possible.

Forever Marine Mask - A thick, almost transparent mask that moisturizes the skin on application. You are advised to leave it on for 10-15 minutes for best results - I left it on for the longest to hopefully achieve the best possible result. The rich formula, holding natural sea minerals from sea kelp and algae, helps deeply cleanse the skin whilst balancing the its texture and conditioning it with the aloe vera properties. This mask would be the perfect addition to a pamper evening, allowing you to relax and give your skin the best care possible. The Forever Marine Mask was 100% my favourite skincare product that I tried.

Aloe Propolis Creme - The one product that made the most significant difference to my skin's dry condition is this creme. A combination of the Aloe Vera range and Bee Propolis range ensure the skin is provided with ingredients that account as an excellent moisturizer and give a soothing relief. After applying a tiny portion of this to my face everyday has helped to hydrate my skin and make it feel much healthier, and happier. It also smells incredible due to the touch of chamomile added to the formula.

Aloe Cleanser - Cleansing has become one of the most important steps in my skincare regime. I find it almost impossible now to remove my makeup without a cleanser, and especially one that is made of all natural ingredients and 100% healthy for the skin. The Aloe Cleanser sinks into your pores, removing excess makeup, bacteria and dirt from under the skin's surface. The formula is light, non-greasy and is moisture-balanced. Being moisture-balanced, the product will dry without having to wipe excess cleanser off your face after use. A great cleanser that made a great impact in my skincare regime!

Rehydrating Toner - Toners are always something that I've neglected since being welcomed into the world of skincare. Fortunately, the product is alcohol-free, very rare for a toner, as well containing witch hazel and aloe vera to provide a secondary cleanse and moisturize the skin after the drying cleanse. These products work hand-in-hand to help tighten your pores and be rid of all remaining impurities left on the skin's surface.

Aloe-Jojoba Shampoo & Conditioning Rinse - Having a sensitive scalp makes it very difficult to find a shampoo that not only revitalises my hair, but soothes my scalp too. Using these products has not only improved the condition of my dry locks, but helped to condition my scalp. The aloe vera gel formula additionally contains Jojoba oil, a product I wasn't very familiar with until being introduced to this brand. Jojoba oil replenishes any lost moisture from both the hair and scalp, leaving you with healthy, fresh locks after application. The pH in the shampoo is also balanced to help both oily and dry hair types - removing any dead skin cells from the scalp and fortifying oils present in the hair follicles. Moreover, the conditioner enhances the shampoos advantages by providing a smooth and shiny finish - adding the perfect touch to freshly washed hair. 

Since using Forever Living, skincare specifically, I've been blemish-free. Obviously I cannot solely put it down to the use of the products, but it must say something about maintaining a spot-free face. My facial oils have slightly replenished, something I never thought I'd say having the driest skin EVER and my face feels so smooth after using the propolis creme. Overall, I would 100% recommend this brand to anyone looking to find healthy products containing all natural ingredients or someone who wants to try a luxury, high-end skincare brand.
