    Haven’t tried to put it on sun burnt skin but I can just imagine the feeling! I love using this as face mask when the weather is really warm and does a great deal to my skin to freshen up!

    I think that’s what Asian beauty (Korean skincare in particular) is after: they want to bring back the more natural ways to take care of our skin using these natural ingredients and mix it with modern technology. I think it is good!

    I know what you mean. My husband is the same that he rarely tries new products or always sticks to the ones he has been using for a long time. I am just lucky this brand suits my skin and didn’t cause me any damage!

    Oh, if only I have a potted aloe vera plant – I wouldn’t buy these, too! We had a pot at my parents’ house and used it extensively on my scalp since I had thin hair as a child. I also try to do some DIY skincare regimen but can’t use a lot of those (or do everything DIY) since I don’t use too much and it would end up getting spoiled if unused.

    Oh, it is! It is actually a really popular trend in Korean skincare these days and I noticed some online sellers spike the prices on these tubs, especially during summer. I am lucky I found a suitable product for my skin minus the overwhelming price tag.

    Korean skincare products are on the rise. Blame it on the Korean skincare fanatics (like me!) who always rave about these skin care products slowly dominating the world of skin care these days! Apart from the fact […]

    • I was a distributor for Forever Living Products,USA for their range of products based on aloe vera. Looks like many companies are getting into this business.

      • Oh, it is! It is actually a really popular trend in Korean skincare these days and I noticed some online sellers spike the prices on these tubs, especially during summer. I am lucky I found a suitable product for my skin minus the overwhelming price tag.

    • I have good things about the Aloe Vera gal it has some really good benefits when you think about it. Sometimes am really scared of ordering anything to did with my body online. I always have these thoughts that they might not be genuine products. They could work or not work out for you. But all in all I think people are different so it could happen either way. I have Aloe Vera grown in my garden and I sometimes use it on my face as a face mask and the results are fantastic so I agree with you on this.

      • Oh, if only I have a potted aloe vera plant – I wouldn’t buy these, too! We had a pot at my parents’ house and used it extensively on my scalp since I had thin hair as a child. I also try to do some DIY skincare regimen but can’t use a lot of those (or do everything DIY) since I don’t use too much and it would end up getting spoiled if unused.

    • I don’t use very many skincare products. But I know for certain that the ones with aloe vera are good. Some are better than others.

      • I know what you mean. My husband is the same that he rarely tries new products or always sticks to the ones he has been using for a long time. I am just lucky this brand suits my skin and didn’t cause me any damage!

    • Aloe vera have been one of the no secrets beauty regimen but with lots of beauty products sprouting in the market, it has not been used lately. But in our place, women use it in practical way, they have some pots of aloe vera plant and they once in a while I see them harvesting some good leaves for their beauty regimen.

      • I think that’s what Asian beauty (Korean skincare in particular) is after: they want to bring back the more natural ways to take care of our skin using these natural ingredients and mix it with modern technology. I think it is good!

    • It’s good for burn and great for your skin.

      • Haven’t tried to put it on sun burnt skin but I can just imagine the feeling! I love using this as face mask when the weather is really warm and does a great deal to my skin to freshen up!

    • Aloe vera is a popular medicinal plant that has been used for thousands of years.It is best known for treating skin injuries, but also has several other beneficial effects on health. Aloe vera is a thick, short-stemmed plant that stores water in its leaves.

      It is widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries, and has an estimated annual market value of $13 billion globally (1).

      Aloe vera is well recognized by its thick, pointed and fleshy green leaves, which can grow to about 12-19 inches (30-50 cm) in length. Each leaf is full of a slimy tissue that stores water, which makes the leaves thick. This slimy, water-filled tissue is the “gel” we associate with Aloe vera products. The gel contains most of the bioactive compounds in the plant, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants.

      Antioxidants are important for health.

      Aloe vera gel contains powerful antioxidants, which belong to a large family of substances known as polyphenols

      These polyphenols, along with several other compounds in Aloe vera, can help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria that can cause infections in humans, Aloe vera is most commonly used as a topical medication, rubbed onto the skin rather than eaten.

      It has long been known as a treatment for sores, particularly burns, including sunburns.

      In fact, the FDA first approved Aloe vera ointment as an over-the-counter medication for skin burns back in 1959.

      Studies suggest that it is an effective topical treatment for first- and second-degree burns.

      A review of 4 experimental studies found that Aloe vera could reduce the healing time of burns by around 9 days compared to conventional medication

      The evidence for Aloe vera helping to heal other types of wounds is inconclusive, Tooth decay and diseases of the gum are very common health problems.

      One of the best ways to prevent this from happening is to reduce the buildup of plaque (bacterial biofilms) on the teeth.

      In a mouth rinse study of 300 healthy people, 100% pure Aloe vera juice was compared to the standard mouthwash ingredient chlorhexidine.

      After 4 days of use, the Aloe vera mouth rinse was found to be just as effective as chlorhexidine in reducing dental plaque

      Another study found similar benefits of Aloe vera mouth rinse when used over a 15- to 30-day period

      Aloe vera does this by killing the plaque-producing bacterium Streptococcus mutans in the mouth, as well as the yeast Candida albicans

    • I damn fed up using these skin care product. I am having dry skin and during summer the face will become lifeless. I have been searching for good skin care product. Finally, Patanjali Yoga Center has advised me to dispense with this product and go for natural herbal products which I am using now.
      The skin care products are suitable only for some people and are not suitable for each and everyone as a universal rule and such product is not designed so far.
      I generally apply curd and honey and prepare my own pack and this will be a very nice product for the skin. I will explain it separately in my post.

    • I like to share the Aloe Vera hydro gel.My grandparents told me that Aloe Vera juice I meant the liquid came from Aloe Vera is good to apply for the face to get all the acne or to make the face looking beautiful..

    I haven’t tried turkey sausage before. Does it have less salt? I know chorizo is not the healthiest food out there so we also eat it in moderation. 🙂 I think the saltiness of the chorizo really match with the slight tanginess coming from the lemon juice, yum!

    • Saffron I love. But for dietary reasons light turkey sausage has to be used in plaoced of Spanish chorizo. I have made a similar dish to this recipe and it is delicious!

        • I buy lite turkey sausage from our grocery store. It has less salt and less fat. That way my husband can enjoy the meal too! He has to restrict his salt and fat intake.

    • I’m starving at the sight of it! Nice recipe to be done!

    • This is my basic paella recipe, using the two most popular ingredients commonly seen in paella recipes out there, chicken and chorizo sausage. There are 3 basic ingredients that you need to have in your cupboard in order to make authentic Spanish paella; paella rice, smoked paprika and Spanish saffron.

      The rice should be short grain and never long grain. These days you can easily find paella rice in most deli shops and stores out there but keep an eye for either rice from the bomba, bahía or senia varieties, these are the best known. The smoked paprika or Spanish ‘pimentón de la vera’ is an intense spice made from roasted and dried red peppers mainly from the region of Extremadura, again widely available in deli shops.

      You can either use sweet or spicy pimentón depending on how much heat you want to give the dish, I prefer to use sweet paprika. The saffron is the key ingredient that provides the aroma and colour to the dish.

      Use Spanish saffron from La Mancha region, it is considered to be the best in the world. The method of cooking this paella is very simple as I don’t use an oven like many restaurants do, which sometimes might be tricky to get the rice cooked properly.

    • Seems a great value for money. I hope I can find it in the stores around where I live. I know it would be extremely difficult to find it in the nearby stores. Your review of the above product was really good. Keep posting your valuable suggestions on products! It really helps us readers to understand more clearly the brand and the product itself. Thanks.

    I think the admin always gets a bottle neck when it is around month end. Could be to admin-related stuff to prepare for payments or could be that members try to write more to reach payout every month.

    I might look at this site as the next option in case LB stops paying. Or I might think about it after I redeem my second payment here. It’s such a shame how things are going on here but I am hoping that the guys in LB just got busy during month end.
