Thank you so much to Nicole for letting me write this guest blog. I guess I should write just a few lines about myself. My name’s Anna and I’m a health and lifestyle blogger from Manchester in the UK. I am a scientist and academic by background and have recently become involved with an amazing company called Forever Living, who I believe produce superior health and nutrition products.

On this post, I would like to focus on the importance of looking after your skin from the inside out so that you can the best out of your make up. No amount of gorgeous make up or skin care products can undo the damage you do from within from bad habits such as smoking, eating junk or not getting enough vitamins. It’s a sad fact that the food we eat today isn’t as nutritious as it once was and people are starting to realize they need to supplement their diet. Your skin renews itself every 28 days, so what you’ve been putting into your body will reflect in your skin. 

Forever Living produces an incredible health product that can help you ensure that when your skin renews, it will be healthy and glowing. That health product is the Aloe Vera Drinking Gel. The aloe vera plant has been used as a health tonic for centuries and was used by famous characters throughout history such as Cleopatra and Ghandi. It is actually only the very inner gel of the aloe plant that contains a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, including nineteen of the twenty amino acids our body needs and seven of the eight amino acids that the body cannot produce itself. And what’s the best thing about this remarkable plant? This is a cocktail of goodness it is produced naturally by the plant and this means it’s more bioavailable and can be used quickly and effectively by your body.

Forever Living’s aloe drinking gel is as close as you can get to opening up an aloe leaf and consuming the gel inside and is made by cold pressing organic aloe gel. Aloe has been found to have a remarkable effect on the skin. When they are first produced, skin cells are large and thriving. However, as they make their way up to the surface, they become smaller and are transformed into just thin flakes of keratin, that eventually fall away. Imagine a balloon that withers over time. Drinking pure aloe provides essential nutrition to feed the new cells and ensures they arrive at the surface healthy and fully functioning. Aloe also increases the activity of cells known as fibroblasts, which produce both collagen and elastin. These fibers keep your skin looking young and plump so the more aloe you consume, the more fibroblasts you produce and the younger and healthier your skin will look.

This before and after photo is of my skin once I had began to drink the aloe gel every morning. As you can see, my acne cleared up and my skin felt so much healthier. Combining the aloe drinking gel with our collagen and elastin enriched aloe based moisturizer will result in healthier and more glowing skin. The perfect canvas for all that gorgeous make up. Start with 120 ml daily every morning and then cut down to 60 ml.

I really hope you’ve benefited from reading this post and I’d love feedback from anyone’s who tried this incredible product. And remember, you literally are what you eat!
