About that dry skin…Aloe Ferox has a few suggestions

About that dry skin…

Dry skin appears in many forms. Not everyone knows all the signs of a dry skin. Most of
us associate dry skin with the roughness of chicken skin or with peeling.
Did you know that dry skin symptoms often also include the following: extremely fine
texture, itching, dullness, redness, sensitivity and tightness?

Dry skin that is left untreated affects people in different ways. In some, the dryness
causes contact allergy, which in turn may cause the individual to become very
sensitive of chemicals. In others, the dryness causes dehydration of the subcutaneous
skin as moisture (which assists in keeping the elastin and collagen network plump)
leaks out. The effect is small non-stop crinkles like fine contour lines on a geography
map. Another possible effect of an untreated dry skin is the discomfort and irritation of
a sensitive and itching skin.

Be observant: a radiant complexion always gives an attractive look – even though that
person may have a crooked nose or enormous teeth! A dull skin rarely appears radiant.
This winter, be good for your skin – it still has to travel with you until the end! The cold
and the dryness in the air take big bites out of our skin's moisture content.

Put it back.

Get a slightly heavier moisturizer for this winter and be good to yourself!

If you do not use a moisturizer, consider one of our light moisturizers for this
winter: Vanishing Cream (for oily skin) or Moisturizer (for normal skin).

If you use a light moisturizer, consider Moisturizing Day Cream and Night
Cream as your weapons of choice against the skin dryness.

If your skin is always a bit dry, try Mature and Enriched Night Cream or
Timeless Skin Day Cream and Timeless Skin Night Cream.

And do not forget about Neck Cream. The human neck has the tendency to
reveal its “desert dry period” only years later…

Whole Aloe Juice and Probiotics

Whole-leaf Aloe Juice and probiotics

Probiotics or not? The hottest miracle-buzz word is “probiotics”. Probiotics have
gained their fame as “good” gut bacteria that heal by fighting “bad” bacteria and
enhancing bioavailability of nutrients. Many research reports reveal great therapeutic
effects achieved with probiotics. Research also issue warnings that probiotics may
lead to serious health problems in certain individuals, e.g. probiotics may cancel the
effects of antibiotics or lead to antibiotic resistance.

Also, patients with a compromised immune system, frail individuals and very young children are strongly advised against taking probiotics.

Should you take probiotics? Before taking ANY supplements: consider your own
health and your medication. Read the pamphlets that came with the medicine: be wellinformed
about counter-indications, side effects and interactions with other medicines.

If you don’t understand a pamphlet, ask your doctor to explain the details and tell
him/her about the supplement(s) you intend to take. When risks are eliminated: GO
FOR IT!

Do Aloe Ferox products contain probiotics? No. A business always has to balance
potential products against current business strategies, such as maintaining products
that work well; adapting or eliminating non-movers; and adding new innovations,
which are in line with company direction. While adding probiotics to Whole-leaf Aloe
Juice may sound exciting, local and export sales figures say that Whole-leaf Aloe
Juice works very well in its current form. Consumer feedback echoes this: individuals
who take a small amount daily, experience marvelous improvements in their general
health and those who use larger quantities for a short period (e.g. to fight off oncoming
sniffles), manage to safeguard themselves.

Adding probiotics, would not only exclude the fragile, young and immune compromised individuals from using our juice, it also goes against business sense to change a mainstay.
