Are you interested at all in killing 3 birds with one stone?! I know I am and I think through trial and error mixed with some research I have found a simple way to do so effectively especially during these harsh winter months.
When I began my natural hair journey who knew that I would learn so much more than just hair related information – it would open an entirely new world for me… ingredients!
Although I am very familiar with the old saying “What we put into our bodies will come out” knowing and doing are two different things.
After learning a host of benefits about the ingredients in most natural hair products; little did I know how interchangeable these ingredients are.
As always these are my opinions based upon my research and personal experience; always if you are under doctor’s care for a unique reason do your research for your particular condition and consult your doctor before use. What ingredients exactly? – I thought you’d never ask!
Skin – One of my nightly routines includes using a dab of this oil all over my body as a skin moisturizer. This oil deeply penetrates and moisturizes while protecting against environmental and free radical damage. Listen up ladies this oil also aids in helping with anti-aging, eczema & even provides some sun protection.
Body Health – There are a vast amount of benefits this oil can do for your health. This powerful oil can be used for stress relief, weight loss, immunity booster, infections, digestion, diabetes and even heart health. Shall I continue? This oil when consumed orally is mighty powerful as it contains – antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic properties that help strengthen the immune system.

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice/Gel
Skin – AVJ comes from such a versatile plant. This ingredient is fabulous for the skin. I use AVG daily as my face moisturizer. Aloe helps treat acne, eczema, cuts, burns, itchy skin, and dry skin.
If you are looking for a great way to hydrate, moisturize, and rejuvenate the skin while increasing its elasticity then look no further; this is it!
Body Health – Aloe can be used to soothe and cleanse the digestive tract and help improve digestion. When I was suffering from acne one of the many things that helped me was a tea where the base was Aloe – which also aided me in digesting foods that my body needed help with. Aloe can also help keep a healthy intestinal flora in balance & remove toxins from the body which helps with the elimination of waste from your body.
Hair – I use both the gel & liquid formula of Aloe to help treat and condition my hair. Aloe helps aid in proper hair growth and soothes dry, itch scalp. If you need some amazing conditioning Aloe is perfect for your hair and scalp. I use AVJ in my DIY hair refresher and AVG as a part of my styling process of my hair routine. Both have transformed the state of my hair.
