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.

Coconut oil for a nice skin and scalp soothed and smoothed

Journalist | November 28, 2011

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.

CANNELLE DIVULGE BEAUTY BUSINESS TRAVEL TIPS

Journalist | October 24, 2011

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.

5. Signs of tiredness are especially visible on pale skin tones. Get a gorgeous glow with Dcleor cream tan.

6. Be prepared and always carry a small touch up kit around with you. Quickly reapplying lipstick can instantly lift your look in no time and carrying some face wipes around means you can conveniently freshen up at any opportunity.

7. Think outside the bottle and replace as many products with spill-proof, mess-proof and more airport friendly equivalents. It will minimise faff time and protect your possessions from being damaged by leakages.

8. Take the time to pack to ensure you dont forget any essentials. All too often we fall into the trap of last minute packing, which almost invariably leads us to leave things at home! Have a list of necessities saved on your computer which you can refer to each time youre packing for a trip.

9. Minimise messy hair by tying a scarf around it for long haul flights. You should also make sure you take a good hairbrush in hand luggage, and pack some dry shampoo with you for emergencies!

10. Make sure you keep drinking lots of water and eating the right things. Business travel can be draining, and fruit and vegetables are important to keep energy levels high!

Oleo Bodycare ihand blends the most delightful range of aromatherapy skin and hair care

Journalist | August 24, 2011

Oleo Bodycare is a small company based in Dorset, which hand blends the most delightful range of aromatherapy skin and hair care. The emphasis is on the quality of the natural ingredients to give the best therapeutic effect, coupled with sensible prices. There are no nasty chemicals and they believe that the formulations must benefit mind, body and wellbeing, using high quality essential oils, herbs, plant oils and extracts.

These preparations are not labelled as organic although some ingredients are. The cost of registering with the Soil Association and the higher cost of the ingredients don’t fit with the “affordable” stance that Oleo has taken. Also, the packaging is basic, functional and eco friendly, for the same reason.

To date they have done little advertising, preferring to gain customers by word of mouth. Starting on a market stall they soon had to set up a website so visitors to the town could maintain a supply at home. They have won three awards so far from two national magazines, and a couple of beauty editors have given positive reviews for several of their products. For this small enterprise it’s about building a reputation for the products, without throwing too much money at advertising.

In a nutshell they make completely natural products that work. The fragrances are divine and the service is fast and reliable. All this at sensible, affordable prices.

Pure coconut oil’s improves cellular health

Journalist | August 1, 2011

If you were castaway on a desert island and could only grab one beauty and wellbeing product, what would it be? What it should be is coconut oil!

Nature’s own anti-aging moisturiser, it’s the supreme multi-tasker – skin conditioner, natural emollient to combat dryness and flaking, hair treatment that boosts shine and tensile strength, great tonic for the scalp and effective dandruff treatment. Miraculously, it even encourages healthy hair growth.

And that’s only the half of it. Taken internally, it is considered by many nutritionists to be the healthiest of all dietary oils and has been shown to help balance cholesterol levels, improve digestion and stimulate the metabolism helping with weight loss.

According to Rick Hay, Health & Nutrition Expert for Fushi, “The latest scientific research findings on coconut oil are showing this miraculous product from nature to have so many benefits when used either internally or externally. Pure coconut oil’s uses go far beyond the cosmetic and it, in fact, can be used as the research indicates to improve cellular health – I recommend incorporating this product into any anti aging/ beauty, weight loss or immune boosting regime.”

Fushi’s Virgin coconut oil is cold pressed and unrefined, suitable for both internal and external use. It has been certified organic by the Soil Association, is Fair Trade and sourced from small-scale projects in Samoa.

Directions for use: For external use, apply the oil by massaging it directly onto the skin and hair. Used internally optimal amount recommended for an adult is between 2 and 3 tablespoons per day at meal times, drizzle over salads, or within cooking.

* Fushi Organic Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil rrp 7.95 for 250g.

Fushi Total Repair Hair Care:

Fushi’s pure and natural, and vegetarian and vegan certificated hair treatments have been formulated to target your everyday hair concerns and protect against the elements giving you soft, shiny and manageable hair and a healthy, stress-free scalp.

Total Repair Herbal Shampoo 15.26 for 250 ml
This nourishing shampoo is specially formulated to treat normal to dry, and damaged hair types. It’s generously medicated with the soothing and healing properties of calendula and the tonifying and rejuvenating action of frankincense and neroli essential oils.

Antioxidants are key to helping protect against the aging effects of uv exposure and pollution, mopping up damaging free radical activity – literally the metabolic waste disposal of the body’s cells. And, of course, if you have overdosed on uv exposure, antioxidants are critical to help support the body and reduce longer term damage.

Fushi Youth Boost box set contains antioxidant-rich Green Tea and Bilberry Herbal Drink together with the top-selling Youth Totale Antioxidant Superfood Supplement to provide the body with all the required nutrients from super foods including quinoa, kelp, spirulina and turmeric that help combat aging from within and support the body’s defences.
