At Pure Beauty we are massive Aloe Vera fans.

As well as being an excellent anti-inflammatory and fabulous moisturiser, it is also said to contain antioxidants that can help repair damaged skin and prevent free radicals from doing their undesirable work. Used to relieve sunburn, acne, irritated, and dry skin, some people also believe it helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles.

We did a little bit of a search of our products and today we are sharing the Aloe love with you.

Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream is great if you want to maintain your skin’s moisture balance while improving texture and tone. Deep-moisturising Lecithin nourishes your skin and extracts of Mallow, Cucumber and Arnica soothe and hydrate it so suppleness is restored. Aloe has been added to the mix to moisture your skin and help prevent the appearance of dehydration lines and promote healing – what’s not to like?

The Jan Marini Transformation Face Cream helps to rebuild and repair damaged cells so that your skin looks, and feels, youthful. Anti-Aging Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, Antioxidants and Aloe Vera come together in this luxury product and from the very first time you use it, your skin will appear smoother and have a gorgeous silky softness we think you will love.

Aloe can be great to boost tired, dull skin and this is why it has been added to the Dermalogica Skin Renewal Booster. A blend of hydroxy acids and natural humectants have been blended to help with cell renewal and promote healthier-looking skin. Suitable for drier or prematurely-ageing skin, the booster exfoliates away dead skin cells and together Aloe, Chamomile and Cornflower hydrate the skin while Vitamins A and C smooth skin, so it feels happy once again.

Shaving is a part of everyday grooming but it can cause skin irritation, so to prevent this, we suggest using the Elemis Skin Soothe Shave Gel. This easy to use, effective gel has an active base of Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel, that have been scientifically blended with anti-inflammatory extracts of Arnica and Chamomile and cooling Menthol. Together this offers the perfect shaving solution for even the most sensitive skins, and with Marine Extracts and Jojoba Oil added for comfort, this is a bathroom cabinet must have.

We know some people think toners dry the skin out, but this could not be further from the truth with the Dermalogica UltraCalming Mist.This cool, soothing toner offers thirsty, dry skin hydration as well as relieving inflammation and discomfort. Aloe has been added as a skin soothing agent and this works beautifully well with the antiseptic and disinfectant qualities of Lavender to ensure skin is soft and supple and ready for your day or night cream. It is also brilliant to keep skin hydrated on the beach and during long flights when moisture is lost and dehydration sets in.

If your body feels like it needs a little extra love, why not take the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub into the shower with you? Highly concentrated glycolic acid with exfoliating particles have been expertly blended with Aloe, Chamomile and Rosemary Extracts that together leave you with glowing skin that is silky smooth to the touch. That rough skin and those troublesome areas on the back of your arms, knees and legs will be a thing of the past. While you will see immediate benefits from this beautifully scented product, there will be progressive improvement over time that we think you will love.

It’s a sad fact that we very rarely see an untouched image of celebrities these days, no matter how flawless they actually are in real life. This unrealistic standard is so hard for ‘normal’ women to live up to, especially when we don’t even know what’s real and what’s not. Today, we take a look at five “before and after” shots of some of the most famous, and beautiful, women on the planet and makes some slightly more realistic suggestions of how to take care of your skin without the need for Photoshop.

Madonna

Given the fact that Madonna is 58 years old and is a life0long smoker, we think she looks pretty amazing in the first picture, but whoever retouched the second image obviously believes that her skin has too many wrinkles. She could probably benefit from using Dermalogica Age Reversal Eye Complex which helps with wrinkles, crows feet, puffiness, dark circles due to hyperpigmentation and skin sensitivity due to dehydration. It is suitable for drier/prematurely-aging.

Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford may now be 50 but she’s credited with being one of the world’s first supermodels and, in our opinion, still looks incredible. Obviously, it’s inevitable that skin will change texture, and the skin of a fifty year old will rarely be as smooth and taut as that of a 20 year old, but using Dermalogica Body Hydrating Cream daily can help to firm and re-texturise the skin, giving a more youthful appearance.

Kim Cattrall

Kim Cattrall is best-known for playing Samantha Jones in Sex and the City and is ageing better than most of us could ever hope to, which is why it baffles us that they chose to retouch her photo in the first place. We’re guessing that she already uses a good anti-wrinkle kit because her skin is so radiant and youthful, and we’d recommend Decleor Anti-Wrinkle Starter Kit if you want similar results.

Britney Spears

Proving that even younger women aren’t immune to the compulsive need to retouch images, 35-year-old Britney Spears has been given the treatment here, where they appear to have darkened her skin and sculpted her bottom. For results that don’t require a PC, try using Decleor Gradual Glow Hydrating Body Milk to give yourself a natural colour, plus Decleor Sculpt Stretch Mark Restructuring Gel-Cream for a smoother rear-end.

Penelope Cruz

We’re not quite sure why magazine editors feel the need to make celebrities appear as though their skin has the same texture as glass, but Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz was obviously considered far too human in the before shot, despite being basically flawless. If you’re worried about the texture of your skin, you can always use Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant to help you to appear slightly smoother.
