I was reading my DAILY MAIL recently and this piece caught my eye:
'Hailed for its complexion-restoring properties, vitamin E, or tocopherol as it is usually listed on labels, has been shown to repair skin damage such as inflammation, scars and sunburn.
It is also a powerful antioxidant that can help strengthen the skin and fend off cell-damaging free radicals.
Some studies have shown it can boost the efficiency of other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C.'
I must say that none of that surprised me in the slightest as I've been a great fan of vitamin E ever since I was introduced to an incredible product - Alpha-E.
I doubt it's possible to give your skin (face skin in particular) a better treat than a periodic Aloe Scrub followed by the sheer luxury of Alpha-E.
Why do I love it so? Because my skin positively purrs as I treat it to this cocktail of antioxidants and vitamins A and C as well as E. There aren't words to do it justice. You'll really need to try it to see what I mean ...

Aloe Vera Detergent - Phosphorus-Free!
There used to be an advertisment on TV, with a catchy jingle that went like this - "All around the house, springclean with Flash!"
Well, I've no idea whether or not Flash still exists and I'm not too sure whether people still springclean. These days I think we simply fit in cleaning when we can.
Which is where MPD comes in. That stands for Multi-Purpose Detergent - and if ever an Aloe Vera detergent earned that accolade, this one certainly does!
I use mine for washing up (in the sink, not the dishwasher), my laundry, cleaning the car, windscreen wash, cleaning kitchen/bathroom surfaces, cleaning floors, toilets, paint brushes, paving stones and anything else that needs to shine or be brightened.
As MPD is biodegradable and environmentally friendly as well as phosphorus-free, I'm happy and so's my home and whole environment. Despite the fact that it effortlessly lifts grime, removes stains and cuts through grease, it's non-abrasive with a gentle formula that's kind to hands and clothes.
And it's economical, coming as it does in a 1.89 liter container that lasts for absolutely ages! Its final virtue, for me (and, I confidently expect, for you, too, once you've tried it) is that you need no other cleaners clogging up the cupboard under your sink.
Just the one bottle for all your household chores ...

Arginine Nitric Oxide - Why There's So Much Excitement About The 'Miracle Molecule'!
Maybe with Arginine Nitric Oxide I'm straying a bit from my role in telling you (eventually!) all I know about Aloe ... but I reckon you'd want to be told about this 'Miracle Molecule'. Am I right - or wrong?
If I'm right, please read on. If I'm wrong - well, I'll try to do better tomorrow!
So why do scientists refer to L-Arginine as the 'Miracle Molecule'?
Because it's such an incredibly potent amino acid - and because our bodies convert L-Arginine into nitric oxide - a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and open wide for greater blood flow.
I don't suppose you need me to explain the advantages of relaxed and more open blood vessels, but in case you do here are a few relating to ARGI+ (L-Arginine & Vitamin Complex):
Greater blood flow may improve sexual function
Helps maintain a healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular system
ARGI+ contains an extract of red wine, which helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels
It increases muscle mass and strength, whilst reducing the amount of fatty tissue. A welcome benefit for sports men and women.
It's a marvelous daily supplement that supports better health throughout many systems of the body, delivering optimal performance.
There's plenty more, but I think by now you'll get my gist. No wonder there's such excitement about ARGI+'s potential!
So - did I do right in sharing my enthusiasm with you?
N.B. As with any new supplement, anyone with a heart or kidney condition, pregnant or taking medication should consult their GP prior to taking ARGI+.
