With eczema being such a common ailment in today’s society (as many as 1 in 3 children under the age of 5 years old suffers with eczema) I’m often asked which of Forever’s fantastic range of aloe and bee products should be tried, so I list below they key points for quick reference.
Aloe and bee propolis is an amazing combination as aloe is a natural healer and nutrient-rich superfood, helping the skin to recover whilst the propolis cleanses, moisturises and generally alleviates the itchiness.
Aloe Vera Gel Drink (nicknamed the miracle plant or healing plant)

Aloe Propolis Crème (best for use on dry eczema)

- Leaves protective barrier on skin
- Helps with cold sores and acne, too
- Principal ingredients are aloe vera gel and bee propolis, blended with chamomile and comfrey, two of nature’s best-known skin care herbs, together with vitamins A and E (for their natural skin conditioning properties
Aloe Gelly (best for use on ‘wet’ eczema)

This is not a comprehensive list of the products that may help, it is intended to give an overview of the key products I would recommend to assist in the relief of eczema. For example, I suffer with broken skin around my armpits, so the soothing, unperfumed deo-stick is a must and the Aloe First spray is great for cleansing sensitive, scaly skin.

Fellow distributor Jane Rubin says
“Just to add my own experience – I have found that the Aloe Vera Gelly is the very best anti-itch formula. What I suggest to eczema sufferers is to use the Gelly at night, then after washing in the morning, apply a thin coat of Gelly followed by the Propolis Creme. The extra moisturising quality of these used together helps with the dryness of the affected areas, and the Propolis is so healing of the worst patches. The Aloe First is also excellent, especially if there is a large area to be covered.”
