6 ALOE VERA FOR SKIN Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel and Aloe Vera Spray for skin. Tips and feedback from our happy customers: I mix it with my normal lotion or coconut oil, and it makes my skin feel AMAZING. I add a pinch of rose hip oil when using the gel on my hands, and my face for that matter, but it is not necessary. As to the impact on skin look - I feel it helps my skin feel smoother, and tighter, and knowing how helpful aloe is to one s skin, makes me feel good. I apply this under my moisturiser every morning and evening and I feel it really hydrates my facial skin. 6

7 1 ALOE VERA FOR SKIN After sun relief Research has shown that Aloe Vera helps to heal skin from sunburns and mild burns. In addition, Aloe Vera oil can moisturize the skin, helping you avoid the peeling normally associated with sun damage. This should help the itching and stinging associated with a bad sunburn. Although Aloe Vera can be used to treat minor sunburns, more severe burns may require medical care from your doctor. Aloe Vera sunburn spray Ingredients: 1/2 cup Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Spray 1/8 cup Coconut Oil 10 drops Lavender Essential Oil 10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil 1 glass spray bottle 1. Add 2 inches of water to a pot over medium heat on the stove. 2. In a jar, combine the Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Spray and coconut oil.

Mix well. 4. Pour the mixture into your spray bottle and spray onto affected areas. Keep it stored in a cool place. 7

Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. 7. Apply moisturizer or Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel. A TIP from a happy customer: I use it after swimming - rinse off and apply this to keep my skin from becoming dried out from the chlorine and it works great. 8

9 2 ALOE VERA FOR SKIN After shave Aloe Vera is a gentle alternative to after shave foams and gels, both for men and women. Due to its enzymes, Aloe Vera is anti-inflammatory and, thanks to its high water content, is very hydrating. It provides a smooth surface on your skin, giving you a very close shave, while preventing razor burn. It reduces skin irritation and heals any cuts due to shaving. After shave GEL Ingredients: 1/4 cup Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel 1/4 cup Witch Hazel 1 Tablespoon Glycerin Water to thin if needed (2-4 Tbs) Petitgrain Essential Oil, and Patchouli Essential Oil Small bottle Small jug Bowl Whisk 1. Combine Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel, Witch Hazel, and Glycerine in a bowl and whisk until all combined. 2. Add 12 drops of Patchouli Essential Oil, and 6 drops of Petitgrain Essential Oil. Whisk again to combine. If it s thicker than you d like, add some water, a little bit at a time, mixing in as you go until the desired consistency is reached. 3. Make sure your small jug is completely clean and dry. Transfer the mixture into your jug, and then from the jug into the clean bottle. You can also use a funnel if you have one. TIPS and feedback from happy customers: He said it felt soothing as an aftershave lotion. Clean, pure & therapeutic. I use it primarily as a facial toner after shaving. I took the chance of spraying aloe all over and the razor burn was completely gone the next day. Used this as aftershave and no more razor burn or irritated skin. 9

10 3 ALOE VERA FOR SKIN Burns and cuts Aloe vera can treat mild burns and relieve the pain caused by them. Its moisturizing and healing capabilities enable the skin to return to a normal, healthy state quicker and to prevent scarring. Using Aloe Vera to treat small cuts and wounds is also recommended. Aloe is a good replacement for chemical moisturizers. The plant s long list of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, can keep your skin supple and firm. Aloe Vera for burned skin 1. Cut off a portion of the plant, and then wash it. 2. Then you can squeeze out the gel and put it on the burn / Alternatively use Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel or Spray. 3. After applying aloe, leave the affected area uncovered and clean. 4. Re-apply two to three times per day as needed. NB! Use it on closed burns, such as first and second degree. Do not use it on third degree or open burns. TIPS and feedback from happy customers: I used the aloe spray as a treatment for some burns on my hand that I incurred after I touched the metal handle of a skillet that I had just removed from the oven. First I flushed my hand a long time with cool water to stop my skin from continuing to cook. Then I sprayed the burns on my hand periodically with the Aloe Vera spray while keeping my hand in a plastic bag to contain the drips and benefit a little from any Aloe Vera fumes. It relieved a lot of the pain. Within 24 hours, any stiffness and swelling had disappeared and it seemed to have prevented any blisters. At home I use it on mild closed burns. 10

11 4 ALOE VERA FOR SKIN Eczema and Psoriasis Aloe Vera is able to penetrate multiple skin layers and helps to treat herpes, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin allergies. Pure aloe gel is rich in anti-inflammatory and healing compounds, and provides a nice cooling sensation to itchy skin. Aloe vera penetrates deep into the skin, reducing the thickness of psoriasis rashes and flakes. Aloe vera is not a cure for the burning and itching that eczema causes. If used properly, it can temporarily relieve symptoms and may be more helpful when used in conjunction with other treatments recommended by a dermatologist. Balm for revealing symptoms of eczema and psoriasis Ingredients: 1/2 cup Olive Oil or Almond Oil 3-4 caps Borage Oil 20 drops Rosehip Oil 1. To make a balm, blend all ingredients until smooth then transfer to a jar and apply liberally to skin as a treatment or as a moisturiser. 2 large fronds of inner Aloe Gel / Alternatively use Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel TIPS and feedback from happy customers: Got it to help alleviate wife s eczema, and it s been working great! High quality product, good consistency for topical application. For years I ve suffered with Eczema and Psoriasis which in just a short time has helped eliminate unsightly flare ups while also making my skin feel smooth. 11

12 ALOE VERA FOR FACE 12

13 1 ALOE VERA FOR FACE Acne Aloe Vera has antimicrobial properties that helps kill the bacteria that causes acne and reduce the appearance of acne marks. Although Aloe Vera won t cure acne completely, it may help heal acne scars, while reducing the formation of new blemishes. Aloe also hydrates dry skin, reduces the look of pores, soothes redness, helps control oil, and is the perfect primer for makeup. Aloe Vera with Honey Honey contains anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibiotic properties. It also contains minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins which nourish the skin. The combination of honey and Aloe Vera makes this recipe extra effective in treating acne. 1. Mix 1 tablespoon each of Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel and honey in a bowl. 2. Apply this on pimples and leave it on for 20 minutes. 3. Rinse with water and pat the skin dry. 4. Apply any oil free moisturizer. 5. Note: You can add ½ teaspoon of rose water or a pinch of turmeric for added benefits. 13

14 1 ALOE VERA FOR FACE Acne Aloe Vera Mask with Sugar and Milk This recipe makes an effective anti-pimple mask, which not only fights acne, but also brightens, moisturizes and soothes the skin. Sugar contains glycolic acid which promotes cell turnover. It also acts as a humectant to lock the moisture. Milk helps in toning, brightening and soothing the skin. 1. Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar in 1/2 tablespoon of milk until sugar dissolves. 2. Add 2 tablespoons of Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel or Spray. 3. Stir all these ingredients and apply this mixture as a mask on the affected skin. 4. Let it sit for about minutes to dry. 5. Rinse with warm water and then dry your face. 6. Apply moisturizer and repeat this process regularly. TIPS and feedback from happy customers: This stuff is amazing for me. I have bad acne scars and it heals them up pretty quickly! I put this on my face after I wash, in lieu of lotion. It is clearing up my skin and keeping it radiant! Lately I have been suffering from extremely dry, raw, and painful skin due to my acne medicine. Just touching my skin or wiping away sweat left my face feeling raw and sore no matter how gentle I was with it. This morning I dispensed some into my hands then slowly and gently massaged it into my skin. It produced a soothing somewhat rejuvenating effect to my skin that felt AMAZING!! Anyone taking Retin-A will greatly benefit from this product. 14

15 2 ALOE VERA FOR FACE Facial moisturiser Aloe vera gel is often used in skin care products to soothe, smooth, hydrate and soften the skin.

Apply the mask onto your skin and leave it on for 20 minutes. 4. Rinse skin with cold water. TIPS and feedback from happy customers: I use it twice a day most of the time and my skin glows afterward. I mix it with honey for a face mask/wash and it makes my skin softer. I apply this to my skin after cleansing and toning, then apply a moisturizer. My skin has thanked me! I can t wait to use this in my hair. I like to mix it with some rose water and frankincense for my face. I use it every night and mix it up with vitamin E as an overnight mask! I used this after a skin peel. 16

25 2 ALOE VERA FOR HAIR Natural conditioner TIPS and feedback from happy customers: When out of the shower, I spray this Aloe Vera spray root to tip and comb through. My hair has never felt better! I used it as a pre-poo combined with castor oil and spread it along my hair and covered it for 1 hour, then continued with my wash routine afterwards When I first take my hair down I spray Aloe Vera spray all over with the Aloe Vera and give it a couple minutes. It doesn t make my hair greasy, but it helps with the tangles and gives it a nice shine. I m also experimenting by pouring four ounces in a glass spray bottle and adding essential oils such as rosemary, clary sage and tea tree. I ve also steeped calendula flowers and added that to make my own hair brightener. What I like is that it makes my hair shiny and gives it some body (I have long, fine hair that is blond and stick straight). I also love using it in hair masks with some different oils, definitely noticed a big difference in my hair immediately! I love using this in my hair. It helps smooth out some dry ends, add moisture/conditioning to overly dry hair, especially when my conditioner wasn t left in long enough or I accidentally rinsed it out too much. When I can leave my hair to air dry, this is a definite go-to in my routine. I m ready to order more and plan to try the gel also with spring & summer coming up. 25

26 3 ALOE VERA FOR HAIR For frizzy-curly hair Aloe vera treatments can add shine and soft texture to frizzy hair, while making it more manageable. Simply apply Seven Minerals Aloe Vera Gel on your scalp and locks before you step out. Aloe Vera Gel works just like hair gel and also forms a protective layer, preventing dirt and debris from settling on the hair. Aloe Vera Gel also makes your hair look well hydrated. Aloe Vera Gel will not give you strong hold like conventional gels, but it is good option if you want free flowing curls. It is also perfect for refreshing 2 or 3-day old curls or when you want a lightweight product to apply to your hair. Aloe Vera Gel is an emollient. It smoothes the hair cuticle by forming a film on the surface of the hair. This film can also provide a very light hold. It provides, attracts and seals moisture due to the presence of water and sugars. It has small quantities of amino acids and proteins that can strengthen the hair.

43 1 ALOE VERA FOR KIDS AND BABIES Aloe Vera for kids and babies 1. Cut the roll of paper towels in half using a sharp knife 2. If using a plastic shoe box or old wipe container, accordion fold the wipes into the container. If using a Rubbermaid #6 container (I highly recommend), place the wipes, cut side down in container. 3. In bowl or quart size jar, mix the water, aloe, witch hazel, castile soap, GSE/ Vitamin E and oil and stir. 4. Add essential oils if desired and stir. 5. Pour over paper towels in container and let absorb. This takes about 5-10 minutes. 6. Flip the container over to make sure wipes are well soaked. 7. If using Rubbermaid container, pull the cardboard roll out from the inside. This should also pull the innermost wipe out and start them for you. Depending on the brand of paper towels you use, you might have to experiment with the amount of water to get the right amount. 8. Use as you would regular wipes, and smile, knowing you are using a safe, allnatural product on your child! Note: If your child has extremely sensitive skin, you may need to leave out the essential oils or use calendula or chamomile. TIPS and feedback from happy customers: My kids love it sprayed on scraped knees - it heals those faster too. This is great for sunburns or just regular bumps and bruises that kids get ALL of the TIME! 43
