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.

Jason Shankey opened his fourth eagerly awaited salon in Belfast’s prestigious House of Fraser, Victoria Square.

The salon is a full service concession offering all of the hairdressing and grooming treatments and products that are available in his other stores.

Throughout the current economic turmoil, which has been a difficult time for many other businesses, Shankey’s company has gone from strength to strength with the launch last year of their own hair and skincare line which is available in top outlets such as Harrods. The opening of this new and exclusive, top of the range salon at House of Fraser, will create six new jobs for the company, with an overall investment of almost 50,000.

A delighted Jason, managing director of the company, which now has three salons in Belfast, as well as one in London’s trendy Fulham district favoured by celebrities said;

“Research has revealed that a good appearance landed 52% of men their dream job, and 78% of the men surveyed said being well groomed was high on their list of priorities. We believe that looking good is improving men’s opportunities for work and workplace promotion, and have always prided ourselves in being a part of that overall package.”

“We have very much listened to the demands of our clients and they wanted a Jason Shankey Male Grooming salon in the city centre which provided convenience, good customer care, access to our product range and value for money, and the teaming up with House of Fraser seemed the perfect location and the right synergy.”

“We have been working hard towards this goal for a long time now, whilst getting things just right alongside the team at the House of Fraser. It is part of our long term development plans for the business.”

Michelle Jackson, Store manager at House of Fraser Victoria Square, said: “It’s great news that Jason Shankey has chosen House of Fraser as the fourth location for a new salon. We’re always looking at ways to improve our mix of brands and the services we offer to our customers.

Enrapture ‘s experts developed the Encode Totem Styler to create curls, ringlets and waves that are as sleek and as individual as we all are

The Encode Totem Styler is a completely unique tool that offers all the benefits of both a tong and a wand. The three independent heat zones can be set to different temperatures to create a combination of curls. The higher the temperature, the tighter and bouncier the curl and the lower temperatures create softer, looser spirals. The temperatures are controlled by a simple to use dial on the styler.

To create soft, loose waves for a stylish “undone” look use the styler as a wand at the lowest heat setting (encode 1-1-1) and style from mid-way down the hair. Comb through with the fingers and mist with hairspray.

For big curls with volume, use the styler as a tong, using a cool setting at the root and hotter settings down the length of the hair (encode1-2-3). Brush out to create big curls and body.

For defined spirals, spritz with hairspray and use the Encode Totem Styler as a tong. Use the hottest setting at the base and mid-section of the totem and the cooler setting at the tip of the styler on the hair root (encode1-3-3). Rotate the styler towards the root to create stunning curls that start midway down the hair length.

Created to deliver professional performance, the Enrapture Encode Totem Styler barrel is plated in superior titanium, meaning it holds temperatures more consistently than ceramic tools and cold spots, which can damage hair are avoided. The smooth finish creates individual, snag-free, frizz free curls every time.

The Enrapture range includes three cutting edge styling tools; Encode Totem Styler, Amplify Jumbo Waver and Extremity Heated Rollers. So when “everyday” hair just isn’t enough, the Enrapture brand allows women to achieve styles that will leave them feeling daring, confident and sexy.

The Enrapture collection is available at all good retailers.

Rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that penetrate into the underlying tissues, Coconut oil can be used as skin conditioner.
It helps to reduce chronic skin dryness and aids the removal of the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin softer and smoother. The small molecular structure of coconut oil allows for easy absorption through the skin. Organic coconut oil is wonderful to use as a hair conditioner as it softens the hair and conditions the scalp. The oil can be used as a pre-wash conditioner that can help combat dandruff. Coconut oil is famed for its ability to strengthen the structure of damaged, devitalised hair.

To help treat an itchy, flaky scalp, caused by dandruff and dry skin conditions, use coconut oil topically and leave in the hair and the scalp over night, then wash the next day.

Viridian Organic Raw Coconut Oil is a premium quality product made by hand in the Philippines as it has been done for hundreds of years. The coconut milk expressed from the freshly harvested coconuts is fermented for 24-36 hours. During this time, the water separates from the oil. The oil is then slightly warmed for a short time to remove moisture and is then filtered. The result is a clear coconut oil that retains the distinct scent and taste of the coconut. Since the suppliers of this oil live in the community where the coconuts grow, they ensure that the best quality coconuts are used in the production of this coconut oil.

Viridian Organic Raw Coconut Oil retails at 14 for a 500g tub and is available from all good independent health stores nationwide.

French beauty salons Cannelle have noticed a rise in the number of their clients who come in for longer lasting treatments such as BioSculpture gel nails, semi-permanent make up and IPL hair removal before business travel ensuring preparation for all eventualities, whilst also minimising both packing and time wastage upon arrival.

Whether travelling by plane, car or train for business trips, looking good doesnt have to be wishful thinking. We are all familiar with the stress caused by travel and the usual problems such as jet lag, an uncomfortable journey and the tendency to forget at least one thing, but business travellers also have an additional pressure to look professional and ready to work shortly after arrival.

Cannelles Managing Director, France Baudet says: With less time but a need to look professionally immaculate, women business travellers in particular are searching for longer term beauty fixes. A little time investment before you leave can go a long way with first impressions vital in business. Im often asked what people should take with them for minimum stress, but much groundwork should really be done before take-off.

Baudet continues: In addition pack carefully and think about how to adapt your regular beauty routine for travel to make everything effortless. If you travel a lot, have a ready to go beauty bag set aside for business travel. Stay refreshed and glowing by simplifying your routine but do prioritize your key must-have products. Consider climate, be careful with packaging in hand luggage, prioritise moisturising and use travel to try new products in travel size.

Frances top tips for more beautiful business travel are:

1. Save yourself effort by getting your eyelashes semi-permanently dyed when youre away on business. It wont smudge like mascara, which is particularly useful for long flights if you need to meet people as you arrive.

2. In order to have beautiful, professional hands throughout your business trip – I would suggest the three week manicure which is sweeping the UK from the U.S. Chip resistant, perfectly polished nails for up to three weeks whats not to love?

3. If you are away somewhere hot, splash the cash on some decent sun cream. You need to protect your skin but avoid that greasy look budget sun creams can lead to if youre representing your business.

4. Brushing loose shimmer powder across your legs if youre wearing a skirt can really brighten up dull, tired skin which is great when youre jetlagged from your journey but need to make a good first impression.
