Planet Skin Care launches Platinum Creme Excellence , age-defying skincare

| February 17, 2012

Introducing Platinum Creme Excellence

“the skin replenishes itself as it did when you were young”

LOVED BY CELEBRITIES AND DOCTORS WORLDWIDE

Clinically & Scientifically Proven Results
* Dramatic 61% reduction in fine lines & wrinkles
* Improves skin elasticity up to 47%
* Increases natural skin hydration levels up by 33%
* Activates the production of fresh Collagen I and III
* Active ingredient Syn-ake inhibits the release of neurotransmitters which cause facial lines and wrinkles
* Prevents DNA damage
* Improves skin cell natural electrical balance
* Fragrance Free / Paraben Free
* Allergy / Clinically Tested
* Not tested on animals
Men & Women of any age can benefit from the remarkable results of Platinum Crme Excellence

Our Age-Defying Platinum Crme Excellence contains the two most remarkable technologies which effectively prevent and combat fine lines and wrinkles.

This highly effective Platinum-Peptide based cream is designed to act like a GPS system – carrying ‘active ingredients’ through the skin layers to the skin cells, having a direct and prompt impact upon the production of Collagen I and III (the building-blocks of youthful skin) whilst also preventing DNA damage to your skin and visibly reducing the signs of ageing instantly – fine lines and wrinkles quickly disappear whilst skin elasticity is improved. Blended with Syn-ake the facial muscle contractions which cause wrinkles are dramatically restricted… the “Botox Effect”

Our Platinum Colloid: Nano-particles engineered by our pharmacists who have been able to bond up to 48 ‘short segment Peptides’ to each particle of our Platinum. By engineering our Platinum with such a high number of Matrixyl Peptides and blending it with Syn-ake Planet Skincare now offers the most scientifically efficient and effective anti-wrinkle cream on the Worldwide market!

The new ‘Buzz’ in anti-wrinkle technology is of course ‘Platinum’: Nanotechnology has crossed over into the world of life-science. Platinum Nanotechnology has remarkable properties when it comes to direct skin cell repair and rejuvenation . It is certainly the most exciting technology to come to the cosmedical market because it is a proven medical technology that delivers drugs and cell-engineering formulas directly to individual skin cells. Until now even the most advanced anti-wrinkle creams have been limited by their ability to penetrate the outer layers of the skin.

Our ‘Platinum Colloid” is engineered to maximise the repair of damaged skin cells in a different way to any other product… and we have formulated our latest cream to benefit all skin types through applying multiple advanced technologies

Lust Soap ($9.25*)
For uninhibited bath times of lust and luster this pink soap is fragranced with our Lust perfume. Our very own Mark Constantine made this fragrance originally because he wanted an adult fragrance that was pure lust.

Inspired by the London Riots this new massage bar is designed to bring peace to your world. We hope this is the perfect recipe to heal troubled situations, because peace starts within every single one of us.

Keep your skin well oiled and beautiful thanks to Fushi’s ethical beauty range

| February 14, 2012

When it comes to the skin, of all the rich creams and potions, easily one of the most effective ways to keep skin supple, young looking and in perfect condition is to use an oil. Lightweight oils have an affinity with the skin using pure unadulterated and vitamin rich oils means all of their goodness is more readily available to improve the metabolic function of the skin. Literally feeding your face.

FUSHI WELLBEING ROSEHIP SEED OIL
KEEPING THE SKIN WELL OILED IN WINTER HELPS FIGHT THE ELEMENTS

If you were told that you needed only one ingredient in your skincare regime that would:
rehydrate and nourish the skin
was suitable for all skin types from the driest to oily, even to sensitive
has a slew of attributes from helping reduce pore size to helping repair damage to addressing eczema and dermatitis
No prizes for guessing that youd be the first to try to get hold of it. So, what is this miracle ingredient?

Rosehip Seed Oil

Harvested from the seeds of the wild rose and one of natures most beneficial oils, rosehip seed oil is rich in antioxidant vitamins A, C and E also exceptionally emollient – as well as high levels of the essential fatty acids to nourish, rejuvenate and regenerate the skin at the deepest levels. And, whats more, light and easily absorbed, it can be used topically on the face and body especially on areas where skin is driest, or damaged, or taken as part of your diet to help the body utilise its benefits at a cellular level.

Organic Virgin Rosehip Seed Oil (19.95 for 150 ml)

In winter, when the skin is compromised by the changes in temperature going from hot to cold, rosehip seed oil rebalances the loss of moisture. Used over time, rosehip is reported to have a beneficial role to play in repairing the signs of aging such as fine lines, age spots, lack of elasticity and sun damage. It can help, too, in the reduction of scarring and skin conditioners such as dermatitis.

Directions – apply externally to affected area twice daily. If you prefer creamy textures, use Fushi Rosehip Seed Oil instead of your night cream when the bodys natural reparative and regenerative activity is at its peak.

Fushi Avocado Oil, Organic (6.49 for 100 ml)

Exceptionallyrich in Vitamin E, A, D as well as lecithin and potassium, avocado oil is lightweight and penetrates easily and deeply into the skins layers. Perfect and for dry and mature skins as well as for sun damaged skin, it is also used and to help alleviate eczema or psoriasis.

The rich vitamin content also helps with skin regeneration. Avocado oil increases elasticity thanks to the collagen supporting amino acids and proteins. With a unique naturally occurring nutritional profile and a creamy rich texture, avocado oil is a wonderful way to hydrate and nourish even the most dry, damaged skin.

Apply externally at night for best results, but it can also be taken internally, and is known to help with stomach and intestinal trouble and for stimulating the liver.

Beauty Company Pioneer Europe’s First Straw Cold Room

| February 9, 2012

At LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, caring about the environment is one of our top priorities. We have a dedicated team who work hard to reduce our waste, carbon, energy and water consumption, as well as people throughout the factory and shops working hard to implement this.

Not content with all of this, from 6th – 15th February 2012, Lush staff themselves will be building the first industrial straw bale cold room used in Europe!
Once complete, the cold room will be used to store and cool our fresh creams, shower gels and other skincare products, shortly before they are filled and packed to go to our stores.

This groundbreaking project will be managed by Bee Rowan*, one of the most experienced straw builders in the UK. Final external measurements will be approximately 5m x 18m, and roughly 500 straw bales will have been used. There are six full time Lush staff working on the project, while another twenty staff will help for two days when the walls are being built.

We chose to build our cold room from English straw, resulting in much lower embedded carbon for this project. The straw is grown on a farm in Milton Keynes and is an agricultural waste product from grains production.

Dorset Hurdles, based locally in Wimborne, has provided the green wood to make the poles that pin the straw bales together before they are compressed. We sharpen them using a traditional wood shaving horse http://www.dorsethurdles.co.uk

This quality choice of construction material with high thermal performance, low cost and exceptionally light environmental footprint, using locally sourced materials and a build process doubling up as a team building, fun and upskilling event for staff, reflects the ethics of Lush and their commitment to both the environment, sustainable sourcing of materials – for this and their cosmetic products – and to the quality of the working enviroment for their staff.

Ruth Andrade, Head of Lushs Green Development, comments:
“Building a cold store for our factory out of straw bales is a visual representation of our values. We will be able to save energy while keeping our products fresh, we are using natural materials that are so much better for the environment and we can do all of that with the help of our own staff – training them as they help us build and hopefully developing in them a taste for eco building. We couldn’t be more proud.”

LUSH will be recording the construction process via a daily blog, time lapse photography and a short video, all of which will be available on our green hub on the Lush website at: https://www.lush.co.uk/our-values/the-green-hub

1o Reasons why you should us Argan Oil

| February 7, 2012

Argan Oil is one of the most promising, independent products of the cosmetic industry. But did you know that one can use it for more than just for effective skin care against wrinkles? This Moroccan miracle oil, as it is often called, contains 80% essential fatty acids (help against inflammations), as well as squalenes (skin softening), phytosterols (protects the collagen in the skin) and phenolic compounds (protection against free radicals), make it to a versatile beauty product, for those who prefer an ease to use and cost conscious daily beauty-care. But lets get to the point and talk about what 100% pure Argan oil from Morocco can do else for you. Read about 10 reasons why you should use Argan oil not included anti-aging, although this is also a feature it is well known for.

1. Soften dry and rough skin with Argan oil. Due to its rich content of essential fatty acids, even more than Shea-butter, the oil of the Argan tree is the perfect moisturizer for your face and hands and the whole body.

2. Avoid ugly stretch marks, by massaging the sensitive skin parts of thighs and belly with Argan oil in the morning and evening. The oil soaks in immediately, hydrating the sensitive skin parts, leaving them stretchy and smooth. After the Argan oil massage you will also notice, that the firming oil gets absorbed by the skin right away and does not leave any greasy residuals.

3. Make scars and stretch marks less visible by rubbing them with the natural Moroccan oil. Because of the extreme skin hydration and the subsequent increased elasticity and firmness, as well as through the cell regeneration effect of the Argan oil, small scars will disappear completely, larger ones wild become less visible. This also helps very well with acne scares in the face. The appearance of the skin will be smoothed and the skin will start looking healthy and glowing.

4. With Argan oil you can ensure a balanced sebum production of your skin. It might seem to be a contradiction, because generally one thinks that oil clogs the pores and that this way sebum production will be increased, which will lead to spots and pimples, but with Argan oil this is the contrary. By using Argan oil regularly, the sebum production of the skin will be normalized in a natural way. The skin relaxes and will be nourished optimally, clogged pores will be cleared and the skin can respire.

5. If you belong to those unhappy people who since many years suffer of painful eczema or neurodermatitis and psoriasis, then the 9 time higher vitamin E concentration of the Moroccan oil will bring you the long awaited relief already after a few applications The oil normalizes the skin by giving it the substances it needs so desperately to stay healthy, and it protects the skin from bad external influences and by subsiding itching. This way one can finally relax, the continuous itch will stop and the skin can regenerate and heal. At this point we would like to mention, that Argan oil can be applied on children without hesitation, as in contrary with other crmes and medicines against chronicle eczema and skin diseases, Argan oil has absolutely no negative side effects. Argan oil is a pure natural product, processed in tiresome manual work, when the oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the Argan fruit, without additional ingredients, 100% pure.

6. Callosity such as cuticles and corneas belong to the past, if Argan oil is applied regularly. Rub the affected skin parts on hands, elbows, and corneas generously with the healing oil and let it soak in overnight. The hard skin layers will get very soft and can then be removed easily and without any pain.

7. You suffer of dull and brittle hair with split ends, but you do not want to cut your beautiful hair either? Then you must try Argan oil for your hair care! Already after applying it for the very first time on your hair you will be totally enthusiastic and convinced. After washing your hair, rub a few drops of Argan oil between your hands and then massage it gently into the still damp hair, especially on your scalp, as the oil contains precious vitamins, which can be absorbed by the scalp directly and nourish the hair roots with all needed substances and thus give your hair optimal care. Also massage a very small amount of oil directly into the split ends. Your hair will be shiny again and already after only a few applications, it will look much healthier.

8. Dry and itchy scalp also does no longer need to be a problem. Argan oil used as a cure will help quickly. Gently massage some drops of Argan oil into your scalp, then cover your head with a towel and let the oil soak for 30 minutes, afterwards wash with a mild shampoo, as usual and finally rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water. If possible, leave hair to dry in the air. When applying cures with 100%Argan oil regularly; you will no longer be bothered by dry scalp and dandruff.

9. Even your baby and your small kids will feel well with regular care with native Argan oil. Forget about sore points and skin irritations of sensitive baby skin. Argan oil is the purest and best oil in the world, without any additives, perfumes or other chemical substances simply the very best what you can do for delicate skin of children. Argan oil also protects skin against sun and helps to relief sunburn pain and heals the burned skin.

10. Use Argan oil internally. Argan oil is very well suited for culinary purposes, provides the body with the most important vitamins , keeps the cholesterol level low and as studied scientifically only recently, it is very effective for cancer and heart disease prevention. 3 table spoons a day are totally sufficient for optimal protection, in addition the light, nutty oil taste very good, is easy to digest and in the meantime 5* chefs around the world use it as an absolute insider tip on the same level as truffles, caviar and ostriches, a real delicacy, which is even good for you.
Argan oil is so precious, so valuable and so healthy. Once you start realizing what kind of a great all-rounder this fascinating, natural product from the Moroccan Atlantic Coast is, in the future one can easily renounce less useful cosmetics and less valuable edible oil. Give your body what it wants and likes. health, wellness, beauty and an intact immune system Argan oil for a better life.

| February 1, 2012

With the market for age-reversing treatments set to keep on growing in 2012, Cannelle is launching a new professional aesthetics division including botox, dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle treatments and lip filler treatments.

Dr Nathalie Frayssinet, an anaesthetist at Royal Berks Hospital has joined the team at Cannelle and is a widely experienced Consultant Anaesthetist & Cosmetic Practitioner.

Frayssinet says: The growth and popularity of cosmetic procedures will continue to increase as new products and technologies enter the market. Aesthetic medicine has seen a huge increase in the last five years and a change in the age demographic including an increase in 30-40 years olds. We are also seeing more and more men interested in these treatments.

France Baudet, Managing Director at Cannelle says: For top beauty salons it is vital to keep up with the range of anti-ageing treatments and technology on offer in the market and to have suitable treatments for the needs of all clients. Clients often dont just come in for one treatment, so we offer Botox, IPL skin rejuvenation, dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, CACI facials and traditional skin treatments.

In addition, the trend for non-invasive anti-ageing practices is also growing. Baudet continues: We are delighted to be offering the professional aesthetics treatments and I also predict non-surgical treatments will continue to grow as new techniques will be developed. In particular at Cannelle we are seeing a higher request for laser treatments for skin rejuvenation, vein age spots and sun spots deletion and rosacea. Treatments specifically for the eye are ever increasing with clients demanding treatments for eyejuvenation. The number of clients who are having anti-ageing work done on their hands to eliminate sun spots and wrinkles has more than doubled in the last two years.

Frayssinet explains more about the professional aesthetics division now at Cannelle: Our professional aesthetics treatments includes tackling deep folds & wrinkles that develop from the side of the nose and run down to the sides of the mouth, removing the depth of the frown lines between eyebrows and around the eyes to create a smoother and more youthful look, redefining the lip contours with lip filler and increasing the fullness of the lips, and sculpturing the cheeks leading to higher and fuller cheek bones. Done by the best the result is a natural looking rejuvenation.

bareMinerals inspires beauty into action with its first-ever global platform

| January 27, 2012

Launching this February, bareMinerals (www.bareminerals.co.uk) unveils its first-ever global creative platform and marketing campaign. Rooted in the company’s 35-year history, ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ amplifies the core belief that beauty can change the world, both by inspiring positivity and activating women to put beauty into action.

Playing off the notion, Pretty is. Beauty does. bareMinerals celebrates and gives emphasis to the influential power of beauty as more than meets the eye. By going beyond the surface visage, bareMinerals builds upon its heritage as an unconventional beauty brand, recognizing the opportunity to give women a voice and to champion the individual stories that represent their own ‘Force of Beauty.’

“Celebrating women isn’t new for us; it’s who we are and what we do. It’s always been more than a philosophy, it’s really our DNA,” explains Leslie Blodgett, Creator of bareMinerals. “We have a responsibility to not just tell a singular story of beauty, but rather share in the collective spirit of women around the globe.”The new global platform is a natural extension to the brand and pays tribute to the millions of women that have established bareMinerals as the original community brand, that is as much about peer-to-peer community as it is about beauty products. A true testament to Leslie Blodgett’s legacy of fostering genuine personal relationships, ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ is the next evolution of the brand’s commitment to engage women in real, open and honest dialogue and will serve as a call-to-action to further ignite the conversation around beauty.

The first iteration of ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ will roll out to the UK in Spring 2012. Supported by integrated marketing efforts, the campaign creative will feature five women, each personifying a ‘Force of Beauty’ as identified during a blind casting held in late-summer. Recognising that beauty is not solely defined by a physical manifestation, the methodology behind the blind casting is meant to highlight the symbolic relationship between confidence and beauty, demonstrating that it’s the effect of confidence on the world that is the hallmark of true beauty.

bareMinerals ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ Global Brand CampaignThe global campaign will be supported by print, digital and social marketing efforts throughout Europe. The campaign creative is designed to elicit a social discussion around beauty and motivate women into action, summarised by such taglines as, “Pretty is what you are. Beauty is what you do with it.”
“We wanted ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ not only to be relevant, but also tangible for women around the world,” commented Simon Cowell, Global CMO. “We acknowledge that there is real power and potential in beauty and it’s our role to inspire women and serve as advocates to showcase the cultural impact beauty can have on humanity.”

With a large scope for interpretation, bareMinerals partnered with the photographer Rankin, to inject soul into the print campaign, and to breathe life into the ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ anthem and bring a sense of authenticity and sincerity to the campaign by capturing an honest expression of inner beauty. To uphold this mandate for authenticity, bareMinerals intentionally chose to leave in the distinguishing characteristics of each woman appearing in the creative and all signs of life that represent their experiences to further add value and integrity to the campaign.
“This level of truthfulness became critical for us as we continued to ideate on this campaign,” noted Cowell. “‘Be a Force of Beauty’ really sums up our brand anthem and pays tribute to the legacy we’ve already established and also carries us into the future as we continue to expand our global footprint.”
