1o Reasons why you should us Argan Oil

Journalist | 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.

Journalist | 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

Journalist | 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.”

Introducing the natural alternative to permanent makeup

Journalist | January 3, 2012

For ages women who have dreamed of having makeup that didn’t smudge or run without needing frequent touch-ups only had the garish looking face tattoo (aka Permanent Makeup) as an alternative. Now thanks to Micro-Art, those days are over!

Micro-Art is a semi-permanent mineral make-up procedure for the brows, lash line & lips that is only available through Naked Cosmetics. It i s applied by a licensed Micro-Artist, using non-toxic mineral pigments. The results are completely natural, nothing like the traditional tattoo or permanent make-up. The procedure only takes about an hour and lasts up to 3 years. Micro-Art uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the outer dermal layers of the skin, therefore discomfort is minimal and there is no down time.

On the other hand permanent make-up is a tattoo that is painful and disfiguring. Heavy gauge needles are used to penetrate deep into the skin causing bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring and down time. Tattoo inks can be toxic; the colors are harsh and can change into orange or blue.

So what can an unhappy permanent makeup client do? There are two choices, get the tattoos removed via painful laser surgery… or better yet, get Micro-Art! “You wouldn’t believe how many permanent makeup corrections we do” says CEO Tanya York “It is so nice to be able to offer th ese women a solution to a bad choice they made in their past by choosing permanent makeup. Micro-Art can correct all areas where the client is unhappy with their permanent makeup”

Serial entrepreneur Tanya York also states: “Comparing Micro-Art to permanent makeup is like comparing a paper-airplane to a rocket… there is NO comparison! Micro-Art is a true cosmetic art procedure that looks amazingly natural, and we’re proud to finally offer an alternative to the millions of women that want to enjoy the convenience of looking amazing 24/7 with no maintenance, but didn’t want to make the life-long sacrifice of permanent makeup. Not to mention avoiding the typical ‘drag-queen clown’ look you can get stuck with using permanent makeup!”

Anti-ageing drink

Journalist | December 19, 2011

Rejuvenated has launched Collagen Shots, a unique 100% marine collagen drink that gives Brits the chance to enjoy a younger firmer skin naturally.
There is no need anymore to go to some incredible lengths to banish the wrinkles that come with age.

Described as the ultimate anti-ageing drink, Collagen Shots is an entirely natural new product that contains 100% pure high potency marine collagen and promises to revolutionise beauty across the UK by offering a unique anti-ageing solution from the inside out.

Collagen Shots is the brainchild of Rejuvenated founder Kathryn Danzey. A very alluring woman, she doesnt mind admitting she is 54 – and I can see why. There is no unnatural frozen look or raised eyebrow on her face. Her skin simply looks amazing and you would be forgiven for thinking she is ten years younger. The well-established beauty house, which already provides over 600 beauty salons across the UK with training and their own brand range of high performing products and equipment, was determined to help their clients offer their customers a healthy alternative to Botox.

But what is Collagen exactly, and why would anyone want to drink it? Whilst collagen drinks have been part of Asian womens routines for many years, this is a relatively new concept in Europe. The Japanese swear by it and their skin says it all, but could all those wrinkle free faces just be down to diet?

We turned to celebrity nutritionist and author Jeannette Jackson for an answer.

Our skin is made of collagen, explained Jeannette. By the age of 45, collagen levels can have fallen by as much as 30% which is when skin start sagging, because its getting thinner, weaker and generally less resilient. This deterioration is directly linked to specific amino acids within the skins structure, like alanine, glycine, hydroproline, and proline which decrease with age, and bad diet.

Rejuvenated founder Kathryn Danzey said: Collagen Shots is a truly unique drink for the UK. Although collagen has been used in cosmetics for quite some time, orally taken collagen is far more potent!

The fruit of 4 years of research and development, Collagen Shots combines powerful ingredients including 100% ethically sourced natural marine collagen found in fish and acai berry superfood that works synergistically to help reduce premature facial and body ageing.

Here is why Collagen Shots work. The natural source of collagen type I which is found in everyone’s skin is a protein which plays a crucial role in maintaining even skin tone, suppleness and elasticity. It supports Collagen synthesis and skin hydration to slow the visible signs of aging but after the age of 25, collagen synthesis typically reduces at a rate of 1.5% a year – which is where Collagen Shots come in.

We are very excited to be able to offer both men and women across the UK this revolutionary bio active product that can actually help them reduce wrinkles, improve skins elasticity though-out the body and achieve a radiant complexion without resorting to Botox or wasting money on lotions and potions that are simply too superficial to deliver the same results! Kathryn enthused.

Symrise Expands Online Portal SymSelect: Products and Marketing Concepts for Cosmetic Ingredients at a Glance

Journalist | December 16, 2011

Symrise is extending its proprietary internet search tool SymSelect by adding a platform for its Life Essentials products. This will enable customers to research Symrises cosmetic ingredients online. Detailed product information and presentations are available. Multiple search options allow users to identify the best suitable product for their needs.

In this age of web-based interactive search tools, customers expect to be able to retrieve product data anytime and anywhere. Quick and direct access to in-formation is vital. To provide its clients with such online information Symrise has developed a comprehensive database SymSelect.

At www.symselect.com, users can search for cosmetic ingredients. Information about the latest developments, product launches, current topics from the cosmetics world, and new emotive or concept presentations can also be accessed.

As an interactive tool, SymSelect offers various search possibilities. Besides the classical route of directly typing in the Symrise product or plant name re-quired, an advanced search tool allows additional search criteria such as INCI name, CAS number, or plant name to be entered, in different languages.

Two unique visual search platforms provide users with an overview of the in-gredients market. One platform concentrates on naturals with categories such as fruits, flowers, woods, etc., dividing these into sub-categories such as ber-ries, stone fruits, nuts, etc. For each of these sub-categories, SymSelect sug-gests the appropriate Symrise product. The second platform focuses on the search by marketing concept with a wide spectrum of categories such as anti-aging, sensitive skin, traditional medicines (e.g. ayurveda, TCM), targeted age groups (e.g. young and mature skin), and many more.

Additional filter criteria can be utilized to narrow down the selection. These in-clude product properties, formula aspects, registration status, geographical origin, etc. Rounding off the search engines functions are detailed product summaries and presentations and the online ordering of samples.

Our customers benefit from SymSelect in many ways, says Manfred Axterer, Global Product Director Cosmetic Ingredients and Project Manager SymSelect at Symrise. They can find a wide variety of information on our products on the internet exactly when they need it. This significantly decreases the time from request to answer. The combination of technical, visual, and marketing-driven information and the ability to select personal search criteria make our tool really special.

We have launched SymSelect to give our customers modern, fast, and inter-active access to our Life Essentials product portfolio, adds Dr. Klaus Stanzl, President Life Essentials at Symrise. We had the idea to create a tool that pro-vides our customers with broad knowledge of our products and to enable them to select products according to their needs. With this tool, we have launched a state-of-the-art and highly customer-focused means of communication.

Living Nature introduces 100% Pure Manuka Oil

Journalist | December 12, 2011

Living Nature is delighted to announce the launch of its new 100% Pure Manuka Oil (rrp 14.10 for 10ml), quite simply Manuka Oil, with nothing added or taken away.
Manuka Oil is one of natures natural wonders and a Living Nature hero ingredient, included in many of the companys skin care products for its amazing antimicrobial properties.

Manuka Oil is derived from the Manuka Plant, which has been revered by the Maori people for centuries for its natural healing properties. Modern research now also confirms the effectiveness of Manuka Oil and that this New Zealand essential oil possesses naturally potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, amongst others, which combat the micro-organisms that cause skin irritations and infections. In fact, studies at the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand have proven Manuka Oil as effective against 39 separate micro-organisms, including the bacteria that cause acne and MRSA. Additionally, that Manuka Oil is 20-30 times more active than Australian Tea Tree Oil against certain strains of bacteria. This means that less Manuka Oil is needed for far greater benefit and is less likely to cause irritation of the skin.

Living Nature extracts its 100% Pure Manuka Oil by steam distillation of the leaves and branches of the Manuka Plant, which means the mother plant is not destroyed in the process. The company also obtains its Manuka Oil from plants grown in the East Cape region of New Zealand, which The Cawthron Institute has established contains the highest levels of active ingredients found anywhere in the country. Living Natures new product is therefore one of the most potent Manuka Oils youll find on the market today.

Highly versatile, Living Natures 100% Pure Manuka Oil can be used directly on the skin for a variety of complaints including cuts, scratches and abrasions, skin rashes and irritations, for spots, pimples and acne, insect bites and stings, fungal infections such as ringworm and athletes foot and to ease aching muscles and joints. Like all essential oils, Pure Manuka Oil can also be added to base oils for a soothing massage or to a bath for a stress relieving, naturally relaxing soak. This special New Zealand oil also possesses natural deodorising properties that drive away body odour, particularly of the feet, and can be used as a hair treatment for dandruff!

With awareness for the many therapeutic benefits of Manuka Oil on the increase and growing consumer demand for natural skin care products, the Living Nature skin care range, including the companys new 100% Pure Manuka Oil, provides consumers with gentle, natural yet highly effective skin care solutions.
