Aloe Vera - the original wonder ingredient

If you have been basking in the UK’s balmy weather and have succumbed to the Great British curse - i.e. flinging off all clothes at the first sign of sun - you may be looking a little more lobster bisque than Balearic goddess. To combat the burn, turn to the original after-sun, Aloe Vera. The plant has been revered for thousands of years for its cleansing and cooling properties and although 99% water, that 1% is extremely powerful in treating a sun-burn and reducing inflammation.

So, if you’ve been left quite literally red-faced after a weekend spent in the park, you are advised to apply liberally. Or if you want to sample some of the world’s purest Aloe Vera, head to Gran Canaria where you can try a unique treatment based around this extraordinary plant.
