Coconut oil for a nice skin and scalp soothed and smoothed

| 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

| 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

| 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

| 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.
