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.

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!

These lines pride themselves on using only the most natural ingredients and natural processes. They don’t sacrifice effectiveness by using green ingredients, nor do they sacrifice the environment.

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.

EVERYONE WANTS SOFTER, SMOOTHER SKIN and a clearer, younger-looking complexion. Wed all like naturally healthy, shiny hair and strong, pliable nails. If you are genetically fortunate you will have all this and more, for the rest of us mortals, we need to take great care in our lifestyle choices and add a few daily nutritional supplements and natural remedies.

Nutritional supplements do not replace the need for plenty of water, a good balanced diet and regular exercise, but can offer a daily guaranteed amount of the key hair, skin and nail nourishing nutrients. Keep them next to your moisturiser and use them daily as part of your beauty routine to see the difference.

Look for supplements that have been developed specifically to complement a daily topical beauty routine. An ideal daily formula includes vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, MSM, silica, antioxidants and essential fatty acids to help protect against the damaging effects of free radicals, and guarantee adequate levels of the building blocks of healthy skin, hair and nails.

Our obsession with fat-free diets has left many people with chronic deficiencies in essential fatty acids, leading to various symptoms including dry, flaky skin, eczema, excessive wrinkling, brittle nails and dry, flyaway or splitting hair. The repairing role of essential fatty acids cannot be overstated in glossy hair and blemish-free, bright and healthy skin. Good fats, such as those found in flax seed, hemp seed, pumpkin seeds, avocado and evening primrose oils offer numerous health and beauty benefits.

The Ultimate Beauty Collection from Viridian Nutrition comprises an organic cotton cosmetics bag with the three key products from the Ultimate Beauty range: Ultimate Beauty Complex – a skin, hair and nail multi rich in MSM, Ultimate Beauty Oil – a delicious organic blend of cold-pressed hemp, flax, pumpkin, avocado and evening primrose seed oils, Ultimate Beauty Topical Skin Repair Oil – a blend of soothing and replenishing organic oils including jojoba and rosehip seed oils. The Ultimate Beauty Collection also includes a 40-page booklet with tips, advice and recipes.

This gift set contains 100% active ingredients, without any nasty additives, fillers, artificial flavours, colourings, binders or coatings, and is certified organic by the Soil Association. Your gift will also give to the community and the environment; Viridian has donated more than 120,000 thus far to a variety of charities including Friends of the Earth, NSPCC, Save the Children, Comic relief and the Woodland Trust. Viridian is committed to green business practices, valuing the importance of a minimum footprint on the earth; using minimum packaging, recycled or recyclable materials, from their glass bottles to the recycled cardboard shipping boxes, and offering a 25p refund for bottles returned to the health store where purchased.

Viridian Nutritions Organic Ultimate Beauty Skin Repair Topical Oil is a subtle blend of healthful seed oils which help restore stressed and dry skin from the ravages of cold and windy weather. The oil contains an organic blend of Rosehip seed oil, Jojoba oil, Sunflower seed oil, Borage, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Calendula and Lavender. It is a 100% active and pure treatment, formulated without synthetic fragrances or colourings a delicate, nourishing, easily-absorbed massage oil with Omegas 6 & 3. The blend of organically-sourced oils and plants combine to provide an effective topical oil to help soothe dryness, combat weathered, aged and damaged skin and improve the appearance of uneven skin tone.

Viridian Nutritions Ultimate Beauty Complex has been developed specifically to complement a daily topical beauty routine. The formula includes vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and antioxidants, to help protect against the damaging effects of excess free radicals and provide adequate levels of the building blocks for healthy skin, hair and nails. This synergistic beauty supplement includes a combination of vitamins, minerals, natural carotenoids, amino acids and phytonutrients, that can help our body maintain its collagen integrity, as well as offer support to the underlying structures of healthy skin, lustrous hair and strong nails.

Viridian Nutritions 100% Organic Ultimate Beauty Oil is a good source of the vitally important omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. These fatty acids are crucial to the health of the skin on several levels. Firstly, they are the key structural component for every cell in the body, the skin included. As such, the better intake of these fats we have, the better our cell membranes function. This will help the skin to function better as an organ in general. When this occurs, not only will the skin look healthier, but it will also respond to any topical cosmetic products much better, enhancing their effects. This highly nutritious Organic oil containing golden flaxseed oil, organic hempseed oil, organic avocado oil, organic evening primrose oil and organic pumpkin seed oil, provides a blend of plant seed oils in an omega 3:6 ratio of 1:1 along with GLA and omega 9, for daily maintenance or for therapeutic use. Essential fatty acids are required for the health and maintenance of cellular integrity and membrane fluidity, making it an ideal choice for hair, skin and nail health.

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!
