I have literally been looking forward to writing this review for the past 7 days. Last week I received a package from a girl in the local Preston area called El Mac. She sent me a parcel with some of the products that she is selling called "Forever Living". Forever Living is the worlds biggest organic Aloe Vera & Bee Keeper company. They cold press their Aloe Vera using their own patented process to keep it fresh and pure, which I can assure you, shows in the quality of the products.
I couldn't have received these products at a better time.. As mentioned in my previous blog, I had been rather poorly and days of blowing your nose doesn't exactly improve your skin! My nose was flaky, my skin felt dry and tight which isn't really a good look for anyone. I was also feeling rather groggy and lethargic, so I was praying that the Bee Pollen tablets would do as they said! El assured me that these products would work their magic, and at that point, I was willing to give anything a try.
The first product I used for my skin was the Aloe Vera Gelly. Prior to using this, I cleansed my skin and patted it dry with a towel for the best results. It is a topical, clear gel which soothes scars, calms irritation/abrasions and is great for spot breakouts. Essentially identical to the Aloe Vera’s inner leaf and contains 100% stabilised Aloe Vera gel. I used a pea sized amount morning and night concentrating on the driest areas. Also, as the gel claims to soothe scars, I ensured to massage it into my cheeks, as mentioned in previous blogs, I have quite bad scaring from my teenage skin! I am pleased to say, that even after 1 day I saw an improvement in my skin. 9/10
Directly after using the Aloe Vera Gelly, I used the Aloe Propolis Crème. It contains Propolis which is the antibacterial solution bees produce to keep their hives sterile. It's a rich deep moisturising lotion, great for dry skin, spot breakouts, a general facial moisturiser and for anyone who suffers with eczema or psoriasis. Again, I used a pea sized amount, and this spread really easily and smelt gorgeous! This Propolis crème worked wonders paired with the Aloe Vera Gelly, my skin has never felt so soft.. And I am not just saying that for this review! In winter, my skin is normally horrific and no skin products have worked the wonders that these 2 have! I will definitely be investing in future. 9/10
Another product that El sent me was the Forever Bee Pollen tablets. These contain pure bee pollen, honey, stearic acid and royal jelly. Now normally in the morning at work, I have 1 herbal tea and then 1 coffee for the energy boost... But as these tablets claim to give you a natural boost, I decided to give them a try. I took 1 every morning for the past week, and I found myself not needing my usual routine coffee! Although I wasn't bouncing off the walls, it seemed to knock my caffeine craving and I wasn't nodding off during meetings! The label does say to eventually increase the intake to 2/3 a day, but so far all I need is the 1! And they are 100% natural ingredients.. So it's not any of that rubbish you are putting into your body like other energy boosting tablets! 7/10
The final product I was kindly given was Forever Bright Toothgel. This is a natural whitening toothpaste with no nasty bleaching agents, fights plaque and keeps gums healthy. El said to use for seven days straight to see the difference, which I did! I actually noticed that my teeth are slightly whiter. I didn't exactly have discoloured teeth to begin with but I can confidently say that I am starting to resemble Simon Cowell, minus the dodgy chest hair. The colour of the toothpaste did make me question it at first (quite a strong green colour) but it tasted minty fresh, and like I said, I have noticed the difference in colour after just 1 week.. Think the results it could give after persistent use! It matches up to the standards of other leading tooth whitening products in my opinion. 8/10
If you like the sounds of these products then head over to www.foreverlivingwithel.myforever.biz/store .. I promise you, it is value for money and you know that your not putting any nasty chemicals into your body! Notice the difference in just 7 days.. Thankyou El for introducing me to the products.. I hope we can collaborate again in the future!
