10 Amazing Ways to Use our & Botanical Gel
This bottle of magic not only soothes and heals as the name suggests, it is a wonderful addition to any anti-acne skincare arsenal and has multi-tasking benefits that make it a must-have in all medicine and beauty cabinets. It is a highly effective product for any of the below concerns:
- Weapon Against Acne
USE WHEN: You are experiencing breakouts or oily skin
Our & Botanical Water Gel is the ultimate restoring balm for unhappy acne-prone skin. It contains a synergy of anti-microbial herbs to unclog pores and reduce bacterial build up which causes acne (Calendula, Echinacea and Chamomile), along with healing and restoring herbs to repair skin tone and texture (Gotu Kola and Watermelon Seed).
- Oil-Free Moisturiser
USE WHEN: It is very humid, your skin is oily or you are needing an oil-free hydration boost
If you shy away from oil-based lotions and creams, & Botanical Water Gel can be used to provide oil-free hydration and nourishment, whilst enhancing skin repair and vitality. The balm contains Aloe Gel which has a high water content, along with 20 minerals, 12 vitamins (including anti-ageing Vitamins C and E), 18 amino acids and 200 active plant compounds. It penetrates the skin four times faster than water which means it provides intense hydration to the deeper layers of the skin.
- Eczema & Dermatitis Relief
USE WHEN: You have red, itchy and unhappy skin.
Both Aloe Gel and the soothing botanicals in our Soothing Nectar work to reduce the itchiness, redness and inflammation associated with eczema and dermatitis. Incredibly echinacea extract (the common herb used to treat colds and flu) has been clinically shown to improve the signs of eczema when applied topically in 85% of approximately 4,500 subjects.
- After-Sun Gel
USE WHEN: You have spent a little too much time in the sun
Our & Botanical Water Gel provides soothing Aloe Gel with an extra healing boost from therapeutic botanicals including Calendula, Cucumber and Gotu Kola extracts. The gel provides a protective layer on the skin, helping to replenish moisture. When the skin is hydrated, it recovers faster from the sunburn. Apply the balm 2-3 times daily until the skin is healed.
- Natural Shaving Gel and After-Shave Gel
USE WHEN: During shaving or post-shave
The anti-inflammatory and hydrating actions of our & Botanical Water Gel makes it appropriate for providing a smooth surface on your skin when shaving and healing razor burns and cuts. Simply apply to legs, bikini area, underarms and get to shaving. Use post-shaving to soothe and calm if required!
- Anti-Redness Mask
USE WHEN: Your skin is red and inflamed and is not responding to anything
The anti-redness and anti-inflammatory herbs in our & Botanical Water Gel work immediately to calm unhappy skin. Apply the gel as a thick mask on clean skin. Either rinse after 30-45 minutes or let it soak in for additional relief. You can also do this overnight if you are needing additional support.
- Cracked Heal Mask
USE WHEN: Your heals are crying out for some TLC
Simply apply the gel liberally on clean feet especially the heals (about 1 tablespoon per foot is perfect). Pop on some socks before bedtime and you will notice smoother, softer heals after a few applications. Combine 1 tablespoon with 1 tablespoon of Coco Barrier Cream for additional hydration and protection.
- Baby Skincare
USE WHEN: Your bubba has nappy rash, cradle cap or mild skin irritation
Our & Botanical Water Gel is both safe and calming on bubba skin. The antibacterial properties and anti-inflammatory agents of the botanical extracts in the gel make it effective for baby skin.
- Scar Healer
USE WHEN: You have healing wounds to avoid scarring
Aloe Vera, Gotu Kola and Calendula extracts enhance the healing of scars by strengthening the collagen structure of scarred skin. It should not be used on open wounds, but on healing, wounds to hasten healing and lessen scar formation.
- Hydrating Hair Mask
USE WHEN: Your hair is dry and damaged, you have been bleaching your locks or your scalp is itchy and irritated
Our & Botanical Water Gel can work wonders for straw-like, unhappy hair by strengthening and nourishing it. Aloe Gel contains proteolytic enzymes to repair the hair whilst botanicals Cranberry and Watermelon Seed make the hair smooth and shiny. Apply to the scalp and hair (2 tablespoons should be plenty for medium-length hair), leave on for 30 minutes and then rinse off with shampoo and conditioner as normal. Add a drop of vitamin E oil for extra nourishment if you have a thicker mane or hair is especially distressed.
