Let's Go Outside

My goal this summer: to spend more time outdoors. Thank goodness for ESI South Africa’s Pure Aloe Vera Gel.

Summer’s coming and I’ve made a promise to spend more time outdoors in the fresh air, be it exercising , playing sport or partaking in romantic beach walks.

I’ve written enough articles and posts about the dangers of the sun but — what about the positives? Daily doses of sunshine helps to improve your mood, sleep patterns and bone health. ⁣

Keep your Vitamin D to a moderate dose though. Always wear SPF, and for those who miss a spot, slather ESI South Africa’s Pure Aloe Vera Gel onto the sunburnt part of your skin to take the sting away. It also helps with insect bites and other sorts of skin inflammation, calming it almost immediately. ⁣

This fast absorbing formula contains pure, cold pressed Aloe Vera juice and works brilliantly as a moisturiser. You’ll always find a tube in my handbag.

The Best Kept Secret For First Time Shavers

…. and surprise surprise: it’s from ESI South Africa!

Two weeks ago, my fiancé asked me to shave his legs in preparation for the Cape Town Cycle Tour that took place on 10th October 2021.

As one would expect, we encountered a few cuts along the way but thankfully, the ESI South Africa Aloe Vera Gel which contains 100% Pure Aloe came to the rescue, healing Tyren’s razor cuts immediately. ⁣

We didn’t even need plasters.

Here’s an interesting Did You Know:

Aloe Vera’s molecular structure helps heal wounds quickly and minimizes scarring by boosting collagen and fighting bacteria. You can also apply the product up to three times a day. ⁣

3 Top Tips For Novice Shavers:

  1. It sounds obvious but use a shaving foam - and preferably one that has moisturising properties. Avoid dry shaving altogether. This will help prohibit razor cuts and triggering sensitive skin.

  2. Shave your hair in the direction of its growth. In this case, we shaved downwards, as it was leg hair.

  3. Take your time. Do it in a room that has good lighting. You don’t want to miss any spots!

I hope this helps first time shavers. And kudos to my wonderful man for riding the Cape Town Cycle Tour. I’m so proud.

Ten Reasons Why I Love Tea Tree Oil

The list of benefits of Tea Tree Oil extract are endless. Combine it with Aloe Gel and Vitamin E and you have a winning formula. ⁣

Here are my top ten reasons for loving ESI South Africa’s Aloe Vera Gel With Vitamin E & Tea Tree Oil. ⁣

Interesting Facts about Aloe Vera

  1. One of the world’s biggest beauty icons, Cleopatra applied the Aloe Vera gel to her body during beauty regimen.

  2. The word “aloe” comes from the Arabic term alloeh, which means “shining bitter substance,” and “vera” comes from the Latin word veritas, meaning “truth.” I went to a Catholic school my entire life so I actually knew the word Veritas as that was our motto. Gold star for me!

  3. The main health benefits of Aloe Vera include helping to boost the immune system, digestion improvement, lowers blood sugar and prevents diabetes, relieve heartburn, prevent wrinkles and skin aging, helps treat seborrhea and dandruff, helps heal psoriasis and prevent cancer.
