Aloe Vera

I bought some Aloe Vera last week which I have been using on a daily basis. 

There was no particular reason for buying , it's just the one thing I haven't tried! 

The one thing I have noticed about it is that it can be quite drying if you put a little bit too much on, after applying it "liberally" to my face I can feel my skin getting tighter and it feels dry. 

My skin is very red at the moment, and with us having a crazy heat wave in Manchester, I have been using it to soothe my skin and prevent sun damage.

It's only been a week so I haven't noticed much difference but its a natural ingredient and is very cheap. It's supposed to contain anti-inflammatory properties and is strongly anti bacterial.

I bought mine from Holland and Barrett for £5
