One company has a vision to make the outlook decidedly brighter – by looking at life through blue-tinted spectacles. Online optics specialists Ciliary Blue are offering blue views to cheer up a nation blighted by recession, redundancies and bank balances in the red.People will be amazed at the power of looking at life from a blue perspective, says Chris Tomlinson of Ciliary Blue. It may sound incredibly simple but choosing the right shade for your shades could change your whole outlook. Johnny Depp famously wears blue lenses and we think this depressing summer is the perfect time for everyone in the UK to see the world differently.Research shows that wearing blue lenses can reduce appetite, due to the colour naturally being associated with mouldy food. In the corporate world, blue also signifies stability and is reassuring. Wearing blue lenses has a calming effect, can reduce appetite, has been used to tackle dyslexia, is said to decrease stress and improve willpower.To find out if blue is for you, you just need to send us an old pair of frames and your prescription, says Tomlinson. We can fit those with blue lenses at a fraction of the cost of high street opticians and have you looking and feeling better in no time. For a new you and fresh view, just go blue.

The Dead Sea is world famous for its mineral rich, skin healing waters, from the queen of Sheba to Cleopatra, for centuries thousands have visited in order to bathe in this unique place. Malkis Dead Sea range has harnessed these potent minerals and created a fantastic range that can access all areas to deliver a much needed beauty boost.There are three zones that you need to target hair, face and body.Zone 1 HairForget serum, masks and all the other wonder products on the market. Just two products are all you need. By simply using Malkis Natural mineral Shampoo and Conditioner you can put all the bounce back into even the most unmanageable hair. The shampoo contains magnesium to revitalize, calcium to nourish and sodium to invigorate. Vegetable and olive oils cleanse away impurities and add shine the natural way without nasty chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. This ultra kind formula also means its tough on dirt but soft on sensitive scalps.Finish off with a liberal helping of Natural Mineral Conditioner. The reason why its so effective is what it doesnt contain rather than what it does. No chemicals to irritate the scalp and coat the hair shaft, no artificial thickeners that dull the hair and leave build-up. Just a blend of three natural oils olive, coconut and palm. It simply softens, detangles and hydrates without any greasy residue. Just like a moisturizer on dry skin, hungry hair will just literally soak it up. However the addition of Dead Sea minerals, that get to work feeding the hair and scalp with goodness, add an extra energizing lift to tired tresses.Zone 2 FaceExposed to the elements, covered in make-up and hardly given chance to recover before the next onslaught of abuse, we are very hard on our face and no matter how badly we abuse our skin, we still expect it to look flawless everyday. Malkis Natural Mineral Facial Wash is a great way to feed your face without putting on any calories. It has a dual action: herbs like nettle, sage and camomile dissolve grease, unblock pores and flush away toxins, which clears the way for minerals to refresh and invigorate washed out complexions.Zone 3 BodyIf you are guilty of serious bodily neglect then it is time to atone for your winter sins if you want to be body beautiful this summer. Malkis natural mineral products use hard working minerals to make light work of problem areas.For the first time youll happy to call yourself a scrubber! Malkis new Dead Sea scrub with frankincense oil banishes dull dry skin, leaving you silky and soft. Simply swirl the pot to blend the ingredients and scoop up a handful. Then beginning at the tips of your toes, start to massage. The grains gently give dead skin cells the brushoff and the massaging action helps smooth the surface and flush away toxin build-up.For areas that require more attention, Black Mud Mask Soap refreshes those body parts others cant reach. A blend of vegetable oils and Dead Sea mud tackles rough skin on elbows, knees and feet whilst providing a surge of skin refreshing minerals that leave bodies looking great.Like any organ of the body, the skin requires regular feeding and this means a good moisturizer is absolutely essential. Natural Mineral Body Lotion is a non-greasy lotion that replaces lost hydration, leaving you much smoother. Marvelous minerals like potassium and chloride replenish nutrients and improve skin elasticity.Take the stress out of scrubbing up. Two handfuls of Dead Sea aromatherapy bath salts added to your bath will transform ordinary tap water into your own private Dead Sea. Bursting with minerals, these salts will be busy detoxifying and reviving tired skin. All you have to do is lie back and enjoy the experience.

Anyone who has ever been to a British park will know that when the sun comes out people start flashing their flesh. Pale bodies parade around parks in next to nothing, desperate to make the most of the glimpses of summer.According to UK clothing manufacturer Kiniki, less flesh would be on show if more people turned to tan-through swimwear.When the suns out the clothes come off. We all strip down to our grotty old underwear in the middle of a public park if it means the slightest chance of a tan, says John Walker of Kiniki. Its completely unnecessary and frankly not that nice to look at, so we have developed a range of tan-through swimwear products to come to the rescue.Our tan-through wraps are particularly handy for women who are anxious to hide thunder thighs or bingo wings. Anyone who is lucky enough to be blessed with a bikini body can take advantage of the more revealing styles. No one can deny us Brits of our moments in the sun, but someone should give us a hand when it comes to summer style.

Hyaluronic Acid is naturally present in our skin but gradually decreases with age causing skin to loose its elasticity and to dull, wrinkle and fold. By the age of 25, we have lost 10% of our original levels, by the age of 40, it has decreased by 50% and after the age of 60, it has decreased by 90%Hialurox, the latest technology in cosmetology, has been launched in UAE at the Al Qaser Medical Centre in Sharjah under the professional managment of dermatologist and cosmeticians.The molecules are absorbed deep into the skin during a relaxing gel facial, and are then recombined to their original size using cold lasers. The restored molecules immediately add elasticity to your skin, encouraging collagen production that transforms the appearance of the face. With regular treatments this will stimulate the natural production of Hyaluronic Acid, making it a wonderful anti-aging preventer.The treatment is applied across the whole face but target areas can be identified to fill deep lines or wrinkles or to plump lips or cheek bones to add more definitionA number of 6 sessions are recomended to benefit from the complete effect of the new invention.

Beyond Organic has won its 4th beauty award in just over a year for its Regenerating Night Cream featuring new skincare superstar sea buckthorn.Beyond Organics Regenerating Night Cream, winner in Best Facial Skincare Category at this years Natural Health Magazine Beauty Awards, is part of a new and completely chemical-free range of skincare that is reaping awards for founder Marianne Tregoning.Mariannes passion for purity is the driving force behind Beyond Organic Skincare, which she founded in March 2007 even her office walls are painted in non-toxic colours. Her ranges distinctive turquoise-sea blue pots are packed with herb, plant and wildflower extracts, most of them harvested off Cornwalls wild and beautiful shores near her workshop in Constantine. And there isnt a single paraben or hard-to-spell chemical among them.Were delighted to win the Natural Health Magazine award for the second time running, says Marianne. This time last year we were Top Finalists in the Natural and Organic Awards, sponsored by the Soil Association, with our Detoxifying Cleanser and Regenerating Night Cream. Its fantastic to receive this sort of recognition because as any company committed to producing quality organic products, its not easy being green – a lot of hard work goes into creating skincare products that are so pure.Beyond Organics day and night moisturisers, their best-selling Rescue Cream for super sensitive skin, and Mother and Baby line include cocoa, mallow, cornflower, rosehip, honeysuckle flower buds, apricot and calendula which feature among a laundry list of natural ingredients that could tempt even a not-so-green goddess to ditch her big brand name skincare and go organic.One of Beyond Organics ground breaking ingredients, featured in the award-winning Regenerating Night Cream and Day Moisturiser, Rejuvenating Serum and Firming Eye Cream all best-sellers – is sea buckthorn, which contains the rare omega 7 (as well as the other skin smoothers, omegas 3,6 and 9) that keeps skin plump. Recent research highlights its anti-aging, cell regeneration, UV protection and anti-oxidisation properties, and Mark Blumenthal of the American Botanical Council predicts, If there ever was a herb that could qualify for the next generation of herbal luminaries, I would nominate sea buckthorn.Marianne believes we need to feed our skin as we do our bodies. By hand blending herbs and flowers in-house, in synergy with each other, we have come up with a holistic formula that I believe goes beyond organic. You dont need to add any fluff or chemicals, because, really, nature gives us everything we need to nurture ourselves.

Whether its to make the most of those must-have gladiator sandals on a rare sunny day, or to don the new strappy Louboutin as you hit the town, we experience the same foot-related dilemma. Just how do you do justice to the shoe of the season when your poor, neglected toes have spent, lets face it, the best part of the year in hibernation?Fortunately for your feet, the experts at footcare specialists Shuropody have prepared a few simple rules of thumb (or should that be toe?) which, if followed, will ensure your tootsies are in tip top condition whatever the occasion.Rule One: Crack Down on CallousesAttack hard skin by soaking your feet in warm, soapy water, then rigorously exfoliating with a specialist foot exfoliater to slough off those flaky dead skin cells the team at Shuropody swears by Callus Crme by Clearzal. Pay extra attention to areas where the skin is particularly hard or dry and use a pumice stone or foot file if required.Rule Two: Lock the Moisture InMoisturising after you exfoliate is absolutely essential, but dont just stop there. For super silky, oh-so-soft skin, slather on a foot-tastic cream like Clearzals Silk Smooth Foot Cream after you shower and before bedtime, then let it work its magic while you catch up on your beauty sleep. For extra deep rehydration, slip a pair of bedsocks on over the top.Rule Three: Kiss Cracked Heels GoodbyeSometimes your feet need a little more than just TLC to make a full recovery. If you suffer from painful, cracked skin, its worth investing in a specially formulated heel treatment such as Scholls Heel Repair Intensive Cream. Cracked heels can be caused by a wide range of factors, including standing up for long periods and wearing thin-soled shoes so make sure you treat your feet to a break and some comfortable footwear too! A podiatrist can advise you on what treatment is best for you, so seek professional advice if your cracked heels are causing you discomfort.Rule Four: Polish Things OffDont let your feet fall at the final hurdle a good pedicure and polish works wonders. If you cant make it to your local salon or Shuropody branch, just follow these basics.Always clip nails straight across this stops ingrowing toenails. Then, smooth edges with a nail file and gently push back cuticles. Use a toe separator or cotton wool to avoid smudging and apply a basecoat, followed by two thin coats of colour, then a topcoat. Finally, blast your toes with cold air from the hairdryer and youre good to go.Rule Five: Remember to Treat Your FeetTo get your feet in superb condition, nothing beats a professional treatment. Lie back, relax and let the experts at Shuropody do the hard work for you. Each store has its own team of qualified podiatrists and chiropodists on site, who offer everything from reflexology and pedicures right through to medical treatment of serious foot ailments.

For over 20yrs model and make-up artist Mandy Smith suffered ill health which, at one stage, saw her weight plummet to a mere 5 1/2 st. Body Energy is a unique treatment which has helped Mandy get her health back on track. The cause of Mandys long term illness is still not fully known but what we do know is that Mandys health improved dramatically after a course of Body Energy treatments.Mandy says After just one session I could feel my body changing. With further sessions I knew my immune system was growing stronger as my food and chemical intolerances had reduced. I became stronger and felt my health turning a corner for the first time in years.Fiona Slatter, founder, Managing Director of Body Energy aims to educate people about the power of their own energy and how important it is to look after their health by building core strength. Fiona says It has taken the Body Energy team 16 years to develop a treatment that has the power to achieve fast and effective results with people that live stressful lifestyles and have a poor diet, which in many cases is the reason why illness occurs in the first place.Unlike acupuncture and other energy treatments such as reflexology developed in the Far East for eastern lifestyles, the Body Energy Concept is home grown and has been developed specifically to treat common conditions of the nation, including ME, fatigue, anxiety, fertility problems, injuries, skin, insomnia, migraine, aches and pains as well as emotional stress.In recent research, tests measured the neurological activity through blood and urine samples taken from patients before a treatment and after a treatment. The scientist concluded that Body Energy treatment led to an improvement to the endocrine, central nervous, and immune system. All essential in treating the conditions mentioned.
