Skin Deep Are you using the best moisturiser for your skin type? Moisturising is the cornerstone of healthy-looking skin, and the most important part of your daily skincare routine. Aloe Matters takes a look at Forever’s range of premium moisturisers and how they cater to the needs of each individual skin type. The main reason for wearing a moisturiser is to protect the skin from the elements and to minimise moisture loss. All moisturisers are designed to work in this way, but Forever’s range of moisturising products are particularly beneficial because of the addition of patented, 100% stabilised, high quality aloe vera gel. “Aloe vera is an adaptogen, so all of our products can be recommended for the majority of skin types, as the aloe adapts to what the individual skin requires at that time,” explains Louise, Forever’s resident specialist on skincare and cosmetics. “The aloe in our moisturising products has another unique function; its ability to deliver key ingredients to where they are needed most. It transports other vital ingredients in the product right down to the dermis, where they are needed to help create new skin cells – rather than the ingredients just sitting useless on the surface of the skin,” she adds. Dry, sensitive skin If your skin is dry, sensitive and prone to irritation, then Forever’s Aloe Propolis Creme could be just the ticket. This deeply moisturising, rich, cream soothes and calms irritation and effectively restores moisture. A special blend of aloe vera, chamomile and natural bee propolis also helps maintain great skin tone and texture. Propolis is a natural substance produced by bees to disinfect and protect their hives, and is believed to be the reason for the queen bee’s size and longevity. Ageing skin The Sonya Skincare range is perfect for ageing skin as it incorporates many active ingredients aimed at tackling the signs of ageing, including white tea, collagen, elastin, vitamin E and natural exfoliants to brighten and refresh the surface of the skin. “The Deep Moisturizing Cream from the Sonya collection is perfect for mature skin as it contains pine bark extract, which is shown to help strengthen collagen. Pine bark can also reduce the loss of hyaluronic acid, needed to retain moisture. This is important because natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases over the age of 55,” says Louise. Remember to care for your skin overnight too; the Recovering Night Cream, from the Aloe Fleur de Jouvence range has anti-ageing ingredients that get to work against fine lines and wrinkles whilst you sleep. And don’t forget the cardinal rule of skincare: protect your skin. Sun exposure is one of the primary causes of wrinkles, age spots and skin discolouration, so be sure to slap on our Aloe Sunscreen or Aloe Sunscreen Spray, which provide both UVA and UVB protection. Oily skin can be prone to shininess throughout the day, which can be difficult to manage, particularly if you’re wearing makeup or are working in a warm environment. Selecting the right moisturiser can help counteract this problem, says Louise, “Forever’s Firming Day Lotion is suitable for oily combination skin as it’s a good facial primer and helps to reduce the shine caused by oiliness.” This product is perfect for wearing under makeup, or whenever you want your skin to remain fresh and matte. It also helps to tighten open pores, which is a common complaint in people with oily skin. Multi-tasking must-haves Forever’s Aloe Lotion and Aloe Moisturizing Lotion are both suitable for sensitive skin prone to eczema and psoriasis, but they also contain anti-ageing collagen and elastin, vital in maintaining the structure and firmness of the skin. Both of these products can be used all over the body, and on the hands and the face. Forever’s Aloe Vera Gelly is another multi-tasker and the perfect moisturiser for anyone who isn’t keen on creams that feel too heavy and greasy. Again, this can be used on the face, hands and body, and is also great for soothing scars and irritated skin.
