You have to be Beautiful!

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.

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.

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.”

Have you been looking for an organic makeup that will nourish your skin and leave it looking flawless? Then we have great news for you. CharlestonNaturally.com is now carrying Dr. Hauschka’s newly-developed line of organic makeup. This makeup is not only beautiful, it’s actually beneficial to your skin.

Traditional (chemical-based) cosmetic brands use harsh dyes and chemicals, which can include dioxins and parabens. These can harm not only your skin’s outer appearance but seep into your system. You mustn’t forget that your skin is your body’s largest organ, so it’s never important what it absorbs. Everything you apply, slather and dot onto your skin is absorbed into your skin. Why not then feed your body chemical-free nutrient-rich products from Dr. Hauschka?

The Translucent Makeup (foundation) and liquid concealer are full of natural moisturizers like jojoba oil, olive oil and carrot extract. These all-natural ingredients nourish and calm skin. With the winter months coming up, it’s important that your makeup moisturize and protect against the cold and prevent premature aging that comes from drying of the skin. The lip colors contain luxurious rose petal extract and work to renew and restore the lips while enhancing your natural tones. The eyeliner and mascara use quince wax to give you a smooth and flawless application and finished product.

Charleston Naturally is pleased to carry this trusted brand and is excited for you to try their new exuberant color palettes. Check out Dr. Hauschka at CharlestonNaturally.com today!

To help men regain control over their skin, Works with Water Nutraceuticals has launched help: clear skin MEN, a health supplement with 100% natural ingredients clinically proven to reduce the appearance of spots and blemishes within six weeks.

Although we all get the odd pimple from time to time, when every day is a bad skin day, it can affect a person’s confidence and sense of well-being. Acne affects a quarter of all men at some point in their adult lives.

help: clear skin MEN is easy to implement into your daily routine. Take a sachet of help: clear skin MEN twice a day – just add it to your favourite drink – for a minimum of six weeks for best possible results to help clear spots and acne. The powder dissolves in water and other non-carbonated beverages, without altering the taste or texture.

help: clear skin MEN contains 100% natural ingredients including Praventin – a bioactive protein extracted from milk using advanced scientific methods – which is rich in Lactoferrin, known to reduce the development of bacteria responsible for many skin impurities. In addition, it also helps to prevent blemishes and spots forming due to its antimicrobial effect.

Praventin is a natural ingredient derived from milk, which has been proven to help people achieve a clearer complexion by enhancing the body’s natural defences. It limits the growth of acne bacteria, reduces the blemishes associated with acne and assists in the repair of damaged skin cells caused by blemishes.

Although Praventin can be found in milk, the beneficial skin clearing effect is only activated when this bioactive protein is extracted from the milk. This means that drinking litres of milk is not going to deliver the same benefit. So the solution is to simply take a sachet of help: clear skin MEN twice a day to get the required measured dosage of Lactoferrin to help clear spots and acne.

In addition to Praventin, help: clear skin MEN contains:
* Aloe Vera: a high extract of this healing plant has a smoothing and nourishing effect on the skin
* Oligofructose: a natural source of soluble fibre. Increasing fibre intake prevents your body from expelling toxics that affect the skin and help avert acne

help: clear skin MEN is available from selected GNC stores nationwide and online , priced at 9.99.

Young girls are not only keener than ever to learn the secrets to looking naturally gorgeous but to actually understanding good skin care. Over the last three years Cannelle reports they have seen a 54% increase in the number of teenagers visiting their salons with the majority opting for manicures, waxing and eyebrow shaping treatments.

Cannelle offers a wide range of suitable treatments including Dcleor facials for spot prone skin which use 100% pure essential oils with natural plant extracts. For teenagers Aroma Purify is great for oily skin or Aroma Radiance for duller skin.

“Recent years have seen an overwhelming pressure for young girls to ply on heavy amounts of make-up but now we are seeing more girls who are being brought to the salon by their mother’s to learn how to look after their skin and to learn how to put on make-up for a natural look. We also find this generation is far more savvy about sun exposure,” says France Baudet the owner of the renowned French beauty salon.

France continues: “The teenagers who come to our salon are made to feel as comfortable as possible and learn a lot from our experienced beauty therapists. With exam time and then end of year balls coming up we are expecting to see even more girls coming in for a treat, to reduce the effects that stress has had on their skin and to relax.”

Cannelle delivers a fusion of beauty treatments all of which are tailored to meet their clients’ special requirements. Baudet has divulged some top beauty tips for teenagers.

CANNELLE TEENAGE BEAUTY TIPS

1. Cleanse, tone AND MOISTURISE! – Even if you have oily skin! Many girls avoid moisturisers because they believe they contain oils which promote spots. In fact if you choose a moisturiser that contains ‘purifying oils’ you will reap the benefits of well-nourished skin without spot problems. I recommend Dcleor Aroma Purete for combination skin or Dcleor Hydra Floral for normal skin.

2. Make up remover wipes are handy, particularly for girls on the go! So take them on sleepovers for quick, mess-free make up removal but avoid using them for prolonged periods. Wipes do not replace a proper skin care regime…think mouth wash as an alternative to brushing teeth. Exactly, you wouldn’t!

3. Lip gloss compliments young, fresh skin perfectly. Don’t be tempted to try dark or bright red matt lipsticks…you did that when you played dressing up as mum ten years ago…you don’t want the same effect now! Vaseline has the same light reflecting instant plumping effect for even the thinnest lips so keep a travel size handy and reapply, reapply, reapply!

4. UV rays are a big no! Your generation is far more savvy about UV rays and burning. Sun exposure causes premature ageing and wrinkles can develop even in the early 20s with too much sun. Thankfully pale, pasty skin is a thing of the past for teens now the shelves are bursting with easy-to-use, skin nourishing creams and daily moisturisers containing hints of tanning colour that allow a safe, healthy glow to develop with continual use.

5. If you are particularly sensitive about the size of your nose, summer is the best time of the year for you! Trendy sunglasses and large brimmed hats look fabulous (teamed with skinny jeans and flip flops) and will dramatically reduce appearance of a larger nose. Uber stylish, uber clever!

6. Sparse lashes? Zig-zag your mascara brush! Whatever brand of mascara you choose it’s the application that gives thicker longer looking lashes. Start at the base of the lashes (brush under not over lashes) and keeping the brush in contact with lashes at all times, zig-zag from side to side as you move up the lash. This movement separates and coats each lash at the same time, for maximum coverage and instantly thicker, bolder lashes.

7. Everyone has sad skin days. The moment you notice an obvious spot, cover with a medicated concealer and re-style your hair! Our attention usually goes straight to what’s new, so all focus will be on your hair not on your blemish! Alternatively MAC, Couleur Caramel and STILA have great concealers.

Three SQOOM antiAge gels: xcential hyaGel, DeSpot gel and cleanser gel are available alongside a range of SQOOM med gels to treat specific skin problems. These gels are applied to the skin as part of a specially designed regime and the xcential hyaGel is ideal for use after shaving. The natural ingredients in the gel refresh the skin; aloe vera reduces redness and the pure alcohol content acts as a disinfectant for the upper layers.

For anyone suffering with sports injuries, tight muscles or sprains, there is the OL medGel which treats joint and muscle pain with a natural analgesic. NA medGel can be used to treat scarring, including keloid scars; AK has been forumlated to treat acne on the face and body and gel PS calms dry, flaky skin, including psoriasis. If men suffer from very dry skin, there is SQOOM medGel NE which can either be used on its own or can be mixed with the xcential hyaGel for the ultimate dry skin treatment.

Commenting on the use of SQOOM by men, creator Helmut Schick says: Mens skin is stronger than womens skin so many skincare products hardly touch the surface. SQOOM works because it gets into the deeper layers of the skin, where the cells are formed and before the skin toughens up. It takes slightly longer for men to notice an effect with SQOOM, but the end results are significant. Mens skin often reacts badly to stress but by using SQOOM on a regular basis, the negative effects of stress, the urban environment and pollution are removed, and over time, wrinkles and lines are reduced.

The SQOOM handheld sonic device is available in silver or black and costs from 529 for a set including one xcential hyaGel and one cleanserGel. Other sets with different gel configurations are available. Additional gels can be purchased in the store: All gels in the SQOOM med range plus the DeSpot Gel and xcential hyaGel are priced at 79 each and cleanserGel is 17.
A luxury device decorated with Swarovski crystals is also available exclusively at Harrods for 1098 including one xcential hyaGel and one cleanserGel. The medGel set is available in Harrods Pharmacy only.

The antiAge gels are available in the beauty department and online at Harrods.

The handheld device is designed to European electrical standards and is equipped with a titanium transducer and longlife battery.

Cannelle is a small collection of beauty salons delivering a fusion of beauty treatments in French style, launched as an exclusive franchise in selected areas across the UK. With over 25% of Cannelle’s clientele over the age of 50, France Baudet, owner of Cannelle Beauty salons argues there is no need for facelifts as mature women are better at looking after their skin than ever, in particular favouring full anti-ageing facials, eye treatments and eyebrow shaping. In addition there is an increase of 10% of men over the age of 50 visiting Cannelle in the last two years, but conversely they are choosing treatments such as back massages and chest waxing.

France Baudet says: “You can easily tell when a woman has looked after her skin for years but that is not to say if you are a late starter that it is too late! There are a huge number of treatments and products on the market that keeps your skin supple, healthy and glowing as a mature woman. The real tell-tale areas are of course around your eyes, neck and hands. The same goes for men although of course focused skin care is a comparatively new thing for most men.”

A favourite treatment with immediate and dramatic anti-ageing results offered at Cannelle, is the CACI Ultimate which is an effective non-surgical treatment which redefines facial contours, plumps out deep lines and wrinkles, as well as tackles a range of skin imperfections combining micro-current facial toning, crystal free microdermabrasion and LED photo rejuvenation.

France Baudet’s mature skin beauty tips are:

1. Avoid ‘setting’ makeup with too much loose powder. It will settle into fine lines and pores and is appears ageing. Instead apply a good primer before applying any makeup and your makeup will last all day without the need for loose powder. I recommend Couleur Caramel white and apricot primer creams.

2. Bright chiffon and silk scarfs are back which is good news for those of us who feel our neck and dcollet reveals a more mature age than we would like! Whether dressed for the office or casual weekend wear, a small silk scarf tied loosely at the neck is bang on trend and takes years off! 2011 spring colours are green- based with pink and blues featuring prominently.

3. As we age our eyebrows get sparser. Use a soft eyebrow pencil or carefully applied eye shadow to thicken eyebrows and frame your eyes beautifully. Always choose a colour that matches your hair colour – nothing too dark or severe.

4. Change your moisturiser regularly. As we mature our skin can take longer to hydrate and becomes immune to products if used year in year out. Each season change the moisturiser you use to adapt to the changes in weather and keep skin happy and hydrated all year round.

5. Avoid glitter and anything overtly shimmery when choosing makeup and clothes. Remember, it is not about looking younger, it is about confidence and your own beauty.

6. Use a rich hand cream with SPF all year. The skin on our hands is continually exposed to elements and reveals an age we may want to hide… invest in regular manicures also to ensure healthy nails and skin.

7. The only way to see the full benefits of beauty routine is to keep it regimented! By continually taking care of your skin, you will reap the benefits in the long run.

8. Anti-ageing creams are only effective if they suit your skin type. Rather than choosing one based on your age, choose it on what your skin needs from a cream.

Shea Mooti use Shea butter in all their products; an emollient that, in its pure form, is unsurpassed in maintaining and protecting delicate skin. Their shea butter is ethically sourced from AfriKids’ Daughters, a multi-cooperative in rural northern Ghana. This self-titled women’s collective has been empowered by local charity, AfriKids, to secure a bright future for their families through dignified income generation.

Shea Mooti has just launched its new range of natural and ethically sourced skincare designed for mothers-to-be and their precious bundles. The range includes stretch mark oil, body balm, foot cream and organic soaps. Shea Mooti products contain no artificial ingredients and are lovingly prepared using only pure, botanical oils and butters hand picked for their quality and beneficial skin care properties.

Shea Mooti founder Violet Reid said: “We are extremely excited to have created a brand for mamas and mamas to be that we can confidently say is made from ethically sourced ingredients that are natural, pure and of the highest quality. Shea Mooti products will provide you with the best possible result – naturally gorgeous, pampered skin for you and your beautiful baby!”

The Shea Mooti ‘Mama to Be’ product range includes:

Mama’s Everything Body Balm – the most versatile product in the range. Our nutritious balm can be used to soothe and moisturise the bump, bottom, udders, lips, knees and even heels.

Mama’s Belly Rub Stretch Mark Oil – for those super stretching months to come.

Mama’s Soothing Leg and Foot Cream – therapy for those hard working legs carrying a heavy load.

Handcrafted Organic Soap – made with Fair Trade oils and ethically sourced Shea Butter to enrich and soften skin.

Looking to the future, Violet hopes to expand her ethical skincare range, introducing a wider choice of baby products with the aim of continuing the special journey travelled by a mother and her baby.

Violet explains: “The idea of making natural skincare was conceived after the birth of my son Alex (who is now 5 years old). He had very dry skin, cradle cap and was prone to eczema. Like all good mothers, and having a nursing background, I hurried to have him examined by the doctor who prescribed steroid creams and treatment shampoos that contained harsh chemicals designed to ease the discomfort. I later realised the condition would be ongoing and the creams would offer only temporary relief. I tried using many other ‘organic and natural’ labelled baby skin products on the market but they only exacerbated his poor skin condition. So the journey in search of a solution began.”

“I realised that the only way to be certain that the creams and body wash I was using on my baby were natural, pure and did not contain anything nasty was to make them myself. After intensive research I enrolled into a natural soap making course and later a course on making creams and potions. I was totally addicted! The one most important ingredient I discovered along the way was Shea Butter.”

“This emollient in its pure form is unsurpassed by any other in maintaining and protecting delicate skin. I added Shea butter to all my formulations, which of course included the purest natural oils and ingredients, to ensure optimum efficacy – which equalled great skin. There was a marked improvement to my son’s skin and by then I was expecting my second baby so I decided to make some oils and body butters for me and the new arrival.”

Women nationwide seek new, chemical free ways to maintain healthy skin and avoid the wrath of ageing. Using the concept of bugs to boost complexion, Probiotic skincare balances the levels of microflora in the skin to keep it hydrated and nourished, as well as fight off bad bacteria to prevent irritations like acne and eczema.

Researching and then exclusively formulating a new Probiotic skincare range, Club Cleo is a huge advocate of the benefits friendly bacteria can bring. Cleansing deep into pores whilst retaining the skins natural balance, preventing moisture loss and oil build up, Probiotic skincare is a new trend thats only going to continue on its upward spiral.

Introducing its Deep Cleansing Moisture Mousse, Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish and EGF Regenerate Nourishing Crme, Club Cleos Probiotic range contains a base of pearl extract and aloe. Along with a multitude of exotic nutrient rich active plant extracts, the Moisture Mousse has a hint of green tea and liquorice, the Radiance Polish a touch of papaya and chamomile, and the Nourishing Crme a dusting of jojoba and applephenon.

The organic based range is hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types, and Club Cleo recommends its Probiotic skincare formulas to women who want to age well and maintain their skins elasticity and luminous complexion without the sometimes-harsh consequences of using chemical based products. The Cleo Q Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish is a favourite amongst many; a new and wonderfully light way to exfoliate, unclog pores and brighten the complexion, it gently sheds dead skin cells, stabilising the skins surface without abrasion.

Janine Kay, Managing Director of Club Cleo, said: Probiotics is an area weve been researching for several years, and we were one of the first to introduce it to the UK market in 2008. There was a recent prediction that it would be the next big breakthrough in natural skincare, but there remains some scepticism around the idea. Our Probiotic skincare range is our most effective yet as it has multiple benefits and works alongside the bacteria already living in your skin. Ive been using the range everyday for the last 2 years and my skin has never looked or felt healthier.

Club Cleos Deep Cleansing Moisture Mousse and Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish are rich in natural nutrients including amino acids, peptides, probiotics and lactic acids. The unique mineral and herbal formulas promote biosynthesis of collagens, fibronectin and keratin, increasing the skins oxygen absorption to encourage healthy cell renewal. The EGF Regenerate Nourishing Crme includes platinum extract to continuously metabolise and prevent oxidisation. It accelerates regeneration of skin cells, enhancing moisture and oxygen retention, recovering elasticity and smoothing wrinkles.

Club Cleo also stocks a wide selection of natural health and beauty products including pamper packs, an intimate care range, perfumes, and health and beauty accessories. There is no animal testing in any of Club Cleos products.

Say goodbye to dull, lifeless skin and hello to a glowing, radiant complexion with Club Cleo’s new formula Skin Sheer and Radiance Polish containing Pearl Extract, Aloe & Papaya.

Spring clean your beauty regime with this new and light way to exfoliate. The patented co-fermentation process gently lifts dead skin cells that dull the complexion. Unclogging pores and brightening skin tone, the amazingly soft exfoliator combines active plant extracts with organic nutrients including amino acids, peptides, probiotics and lactic acids.

Particularly good for balancing hydration levels and combating ageing, the pearl extract also protects from UV rays, whilst the aloe vera (which contains over 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 19 amino acids and 12 vitamins), repairs damaged cells and encourages the production of collagen and elastin. The papaya (a natural treatment for skin disorders) helps to heal wounds by eliminating dead and damaged skin cells promoting regeneration of healthy new ones.

Janine Kay, Managing Director of Club Cleo, said: Our Skin Sheer & Radiance Polish is a particular favourite amongst our customers. Unlike many exfoliators on the market, its completely non-abrasive due to the organic ingredients used – its unique application means you can actually see the keratin come away as you massage the product onto your skin. Whenever we demonstrate it, people are amazed at just how much dead skin is removed. It leaves your face feeling lovely; really soft and smooth with a healthy glow.

Exclusively formulated by Club Cleo, the Skin Sheer & Radiance Polish is part of the new Probiotic skincare range that includes a Deep Cleansing Moisture Mousse and EGF Regenerate Nourishing Crme, suitable for all skin types.
