New Skin Antioxident Protects Complextions All Year Round
Just as plants need antioxidants all year round to protect them from damage caused by both light and environmental pollution, so does your skin. By day and night our skin is bombarded by light, both artificial and natural, creating free radicals which cause premature ageing. Skin Antioxidant (60 capsules & 14 capsules) is the new one-a-day capsule which helps to protect your skin from the inside, keeping it looking smoother and younger for longer.
Just as nature devised a 'rainbow' of colours in the foods that we eat, which protect fruits and vegetables from harm, Skin Antioxidant is formulated with a colourful multitude of super-hero nutrients found in plants:
Lutein is found in green vegetables like kale, spinach and broccoli
Curcumin produces the yellow shade found in turmeric, mustard, corn and yellow peppers
Bilberry extract is a form of purple-blue berry that is rich in anthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins
Beta-carotene is the plant-form pre-cursor to vitamin A, found in carrots, sweet potatoes and peas
Grapeseed extract is derived from red grapes and is reddish brown
Lycopene lends its red colour to tomatoes and watermelon
Green tea extract is a great green nutrient, whether in a cuppa, a skincare cream or supplement
Skin Antioxidant is available separately (£29.95), but can also be found in a new duo-pack called Skin Complete (£45), which pairs Skin Antioxidant with Advanced Nutrition Programme's vitamin A and D focused Skin Vit A+ supplement. This awesome twosome gives beauty consumers many of the same potent antioxidant vitamins and plant extracts that are recommended for topical use in effective skincare creams. The two-month supply nourishes, corrects and protects skin across the whole body, from the inside.
Lorraine Perretta, head of nutrition at iiaa, the company behind Advanced Nutrition Programme, says, “Oxidative stress, caused by free radicals that result from UV rays, pollution and smoking, damages lipids, proteins and DNA, leading to premature ageing. So we need to constantly replenish the antioxidant levels in our skin. By putting up a better defence against free radicals you can reduce the damage, and thus the signs of ageing – from lines and wrinkles, to brown pigment blemishes.”
Prices:
Skin Antioxidant (60 capsules – 2 months supply) £29.95
Skin Antioxidant Mini (14 capsules – handy travel size) £9
Skin Complete (Skin Antioxidant + Skin Vit A+- 60 capsule pouches) £45
The ingredients are scrupulously screened and batch tested for quality and purity beyond industry standards. The formulations do not contain dairy products, yeast, artificial colourings or flavourings, wheat or gluten containing ingredients and are suitable for vegetarians.
Advanced Nutrition Programme supplements are available from beauty salons nationwide, in selected Harvey Nichols stores, and online at www.advancednutritionprogramme.com

Trauma: When Flowers Don't Quite Hit the Spot and You Want Someone to Know You Are Thinking of Them
When 'trauma' hits our lives everything goes out of the window and we live from moment to moment, not daring to think of 'what If' and 'If only'.
So what do people that care, do or say to those that are going through a really difficult time, be that bereavement, an accident, ill health or a family crisis. Often we send flowers or a card but when they don't seem quite enough what are the alternatives? For someone that has just been told they are ill and its going to be a long road to recovery sometimes we want to send something different to everybody else.
LoveurSoul have put together 11 beautiful wellbeing boxes for every occasion when flowers or a card are not quite enough, be that the new baby, having problems sleeping or even embracing age and all its complications. But the one they are keen to really make stand out in the crowd is their 'Trauma Box'.
As Lucy Batham-Read founder of LoveurSoul explains ' when working with people suffering from trauma, often people don't know what to say or do when wishing you a speedy recovery or trying to say 'trust you will come out the other side'. From our experience with helping deal with emotion and how to express it, we have found our trauma box helps people say 'we really do care' without necessarily 'saying it'. Afterall, us Brits are still struggling to let go of the 'stiff upper lip' when it comes to some things especially when it comes to our health.
So far the boxes have been used as presents for people who have just been diagnosed with cancer, teenagers suffering with eating disorders, when anxiety is really grabbing control of someone and for someone that is going through a period of extreme stress. There is however nothing to say they cannot be used for any kind of trauma. Infact we have set up a way that you can make a gift box out of any of our products and make up your own specific one.
The basic trauma box contains:
-BPA Free Water Bottle – keeping hydrated is vital in times of trauma
-Leather Affirmation Bracelet ( words to remind you to keep going )
-Leather Notebook - write down what your thoughts, dreams and goals are for when you are better
-Choice of either Vitamin B12, D3 or COQ10 Oral Vitamin Spray ( just state which one is relevant – Vitamin D3 is the general one everyone need, B12 vital for energy and mood and COQ10 vital for heart health)
-Rosa Fabulosa Candle – the perfect thing to relax in a bath with using pure natural essential oils and botanicals
-Pack of Affirmation Cards - Pick a card each day to remind you to keep going forward
-Natural Salve – the essential salve for all cuts and grazes
-There is also a downloadable meditation from the gorgeous self love Guru 'Katie Phillips' – her dulcet Australian accent is perfect for the mind to relax to.

Unlock The Secret To The Ultimate Beauty Sleep - Gingerlily's Beauty Box
Wake-up to fewer fine lines and sleek and glossy hair – without splurging on expensive creams or treatments. Gingerlily, the silk bedding company, introduces a simple new addition that that will revolutionise your skin care regime; 'The Beauty Box'. Containing a beautiful 100 per cent silk pillowcase, Gingerlily's Beauty Box will help you to make the most of your precious beauty sleep.
Sleeping on silk has long been recommended by leading dermatologists as an anti-aging tool. Less absorbent than cotton, silk helps skin retain its natural moisture; keeping it soft, supple and helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Silk also won't absorb your night cream, allowing it to soak into your skin and work more effectively, so giving you double the benefits!
As with all Gingerlily products, the beauty pillowcase is made only using the finest 'A' grade Mulberry silk. The supreme quality of this exquisite natural fibre means that the pillow's texture is incredibly smooth. This reduces the amount of friction between the skin and the pillowcase throughout the night, which can cause creases, especially on the delicate area around the eyes.
Dr Rabia Malik, Cosmetic Doctor, SkinW1 and Grace Belgravia says: “Gingerlily silk pillowcases are a pleasure to sleep on and their friction reducing properties make them a great addition to any beauty regime.”
A silk pillowcase can also cure the dreaded 'bed-head' hair. Because it contains the same naturally occurring proteins as hair, sleeping on a silk pillowcase will reduce static and moisture loss, preventing hair from becoming dry and brittle; so you wake up with healthy, sleek and shiny hair.
Renowned hair expert, Michael Cimino, has previously worked as Artistic Director at Michaeljohn and Umberto Giannini and is a huge advocate for Gingerlily's 100 per cent silk pillowcases; he says: “The hair doesn't stick to silk in the same way that it does to cotton; the hair shafts remain smoother and glossier.”
Gingerlily's beauty pillowcase can also help you to enjoy the best beauty treatment of all; a good night's sleep. Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and breathable; it works to regulate the body's temperature so that you sleep soundly all night long.

_Pain-Less Launches The Acupack To Combat Computer Stoop And Improve Sports Performance
With more and more people suffering from postural problems as a result of spending hours sitting at a computer, whether it be with back and neck pain or RSI, pain-less have created the Acupack to help provide relief for the millions who suffer daily.
Based on products from the Acusystems range, which work with your body weight to create natural acupressure, the Acupack uses the heatable Acuback to correct seated posture while you work, whilst simultaneously releasing any areas of built-up tension in the spine and across the back, together with an Acuball Mini to release the tension in the palm and lower arm that are the main cause of RSI, both relieving the symptoms and, when used regularly, preventing their return.
The great thing about the Acusystems products is that they allow you to treat joint and muscle pain anywhere, at any time and in complete safety. All you have to do is lie on or against them and you will get release in any one area in just three minutes.
And the real beauty is that, for around the cost of just one therapy treatment, you can use the Acuback or Mini as many times as you need or want to.
But how does this help sports performance?
Simply because these two products are the ideal combination to treat almost any form of sports injury, as well as being perfect for warming up joints and muscles before an event.
The Acuball Mini treats hands, feet and forearms, all areas that are likely to tighten and cause problems during sport, whilst the Acuback is a great alternative to a foam roller as it can release tension in the legs, hamstrings, glutes, back and chest whilst being more gentle on the tissue than a roller, meaning recovery is faster. The Acuback’s size means it is also much easier to take to an event than the average foam roller.
The Acupack costs £54.99 and is available exclusively from www.pain-less.co.uk, where you can also find more information about what conditions the products can treat and free video guidance on how to use them.

Goddess Floral Waters Launch - The Miracle Beauty Waters Of Antiquity
As the saying goes, "Everything old is new again" but little did they know in 1200 BC that the floral waters they so highly prized would be part of our beauty routine in 2014. Taking inspiration from the beauty rituals of the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, luxury brand Ancienne Ambiance (www.ancienneambiance.com) introduces the Goddess Water Collection of six pure essential floral waters. Just as they were in antiquity, these pure floral waters are full of therapeutic benefits, delivering much more than just skin hydration.
Spring is the perfect time to reawaken the complexion by adding Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Waters to any beauty routine, refreshing and revitalising the skin for Summer. A truly wonderful experience for the God or Goddess within.
Having first introduced Goddess Rose Water, the favourite floral water of ancient times, to its beauty offerings a few years ago, the addition of five new pure essential floral waters creates a unique collection. Made from the very finest quality unpreserved essential waters Ancienne Ambiance Goddess Floral Waters are versatile and naturally multi-tasking.
"Many 'flower waters' today are made from synthetic compounds which can smell great, but actually irritate the skin and contain no benefits at all. There is simply no substitute for the powerful healing properties of genuine and pure floral essential waters" said Ancienne Ambiance founder, Adriana Carlucci
As with all that Ancienne Ambiance produces, Goddess Waters are created in small batches to ensure superb quality control. These essential floral waters (technically Hydrolats) are pure, contain no additives, alcohol, colourants, or synthetic fragrances and are also free from preservatives.
Powerful benefits of pure Goddess Essential Floral Waters:
The Goddess Water Collection includes:
Original Goddess Rose Water (£20 - 300ml)
Cleopatra's favourite fragrance and beauty ingredient, she even had the sails of her ships soaked in rose water so that the scent of roses on the breeze alerted Mark Anthony of her impending arrival.
A marriage of two of the most prized herbs from the ancient world, lavender and chamomile blend together beautifully.
The use of Neroli and orange blossoms dates back to ancient Egypt where they were used in several beauty recipes. The word Neroli is attributed to a French-born Italian princess (Countess of Nerola, c. 1600s) who used orange blossoms in her bathwater.
A special flower of the ancient Egyptians, it was said the Geranium was created by Nefertem, the god of perfume.
Perhaps the most ancient of all herbal remedies, Chamomile was favoured for all manner of ailments. The ancient Egyptians thought it was the sacred gift from Ra (the sun god) and revered it above all other herbs for use in cosmetics. Dioscorides, the Greek physician and the Roman naturalist Pliny both recommended chamomile for soothing headaches.
New Goddess Lavender Water (£20 - 300ml)
First recorded over 2500 years ago, the Greeks and Romans were fond of Lavender in their bathwater in particular, but also used it to create soothing ointments and as refreshing room mists.
Ancienne Ambiance products are not tested on animals and are free from harmful chemicals. All Goddess Waters are packaged in high quality recyclable PET bottles: kinder to the environment, ideal for travelling.
Priced at £20.00 for 300ml, Goddess Waters are available by pre-order now for release on 23rd April at this link: http://www.ancienneambiance.com/product-category/beauty/goddess-waters/
Worldwide delivery is complimentary on all orders (a first class trackable service). Ancienne Ambiance's Gift Wrapping service is also complimentary.

The Simple, Drug-Free Spray That Can Help Allergy-Proof Your Nose This Spring
Spring is just around the corner but, sadly, so is the hay fever season which can mean months of misery, sniffles and watery eyes for millions of the population. Whilst many people's response is to reach for an antihistamine tablet, there's now a faster acting drug-free solution to help beat the pollen blues - a highly effective nasal barrier spray that blocks the path of pollen and other airborne allergens almost instantly to prevent the onset of symptoms. It will be available at Boots and www.boots.com in March 2014.
An estimated 21 million adults in the UK suffer from at least one allergy and hay fever is the most common, affecting up to 25 per cent of the population. New and Exclusive to Boots, is Allergy Barrier Nasal Spray - it offers an effective, drug-free solution that is clinically proven to start protecting sufferers against pollen and other airborne allergens in just three minutes - much faster than traditional hay fever tablets.
Most other hay fever remedies treat and reduce the existing symptoms. Allergy Barrier Nasal Spray works to instantly create a barrier to the allergen entering the nose to help prevent sneezing, runny noses and other symptoms from starting, so it can be used just before leaving the house or entering a room or other environment where airborne allergens such as pollen, pets and dust mites are likely to be present.
Costing just £8.99 for 200 doses, the spray consists of a powdered formulation that doesn't drip (unlike traditional nasal sprays) and this powder reacts with the moisture inside the nose to create an invisible, protective gel barrier to block allergens and prevent them triggering an allergic response in the nose and throat. Allergy Barrier's unique drug-free and non-drowsy formulation makes it suitable for anyone over the age of 18 months and can be used safely alongside other medicines whilst allowing allergy sufferers to get on with normal life.
Pregnant women don't have to be a prisoner to pollen either, Allergy Barrier is suitable to use during pregnancy and while breast feeding, unlike many other hay fever remedies.
The NHS advises that people with hay fever should consider taking antihistamines regularly and not just on the odd days when they feel bad, as this may work better to provide relief through the season. However,
Allergy Barrier is a much quicker and effective way of protecting yourself against allergens, because it can be used on the spot and regularly thereafter for almost instant protection.
Allergy Myths Debunked
Myth: Hay fever is no big deal. Fact: Hay fever can be a big deal and nobody wants to suffer from hay fever symptoms. This can be one of the most frustrating myths because it can affect how your friends, family and co-workers view your hay fever. While you're suffering from hay fever and struggling to handle your symptoms, others may think that hay fever is just a 'stuffy nose' and ' no big deal.' This is far from the case. Hay fever can cause days off work and school and can affect a person's quality of life.
Myth: Children will grow out of hay fever. Fact: This is one of the common myths about childhood allergies. Childhood allergies including hay fever may persist as children grow up. . Allergies can be unpredictable and some indeed go away as children get older, but it's not the case for all allergies and all children. In fact many hay fever sufferers only develop their allergy in adulthood.
Myth: If I expose myself to the allergen, it will cure my hay fever. Fact: Repeatedly exposing yourself to the allergen can actually worsen symptoms and may lead to complications. This myth has developed, in part, from the existence of allergen immunotherapy. Allergy immunotherapy involves exposure to the allergen in a controlled environment. Simply drowning yourself in the outdoors when pollen counts are high won't improve your allergy symptoms. In fact, it will do the exact opposite and may make them worse.
Myth: Flowers commonly cause hay fever. Fact: Trees and various grasses are actually the top offenders for hay fever. Flowers often don't cause hay fever because the pollen in these types of plants is often quite sticky and large. This means that it doesn't tend to get carried along by the wind and thus, is less likely to trigger a hay fever attack.
Myth: Hay fever is all in your head. Fact: Hay fever is a medical condition that is very much real and distressing for enormous numbers of people. There is a tendency to view hay fever as something 'in your head' or that it simply isn't anything worth complaining about. By taking your hay fever seriously, those around you will be more likely to take it seriously also.
Myth: Hay fever is caused by hay. Fact: Hay fever is not caused by hay and it is also not a fever. It is an allergic reaction typically caused by exposure to pollinating plants and occurs primarily during the spring and summer months.
Myth: Short-haired pets do not cause allergies. Fact: the length of an animal's hair does not determine its allergy potential. In fact, the hair itself may not be the only culprit. The cause can be due to skin moulting constantly which is typical of animals with hair or feathers. In addition, saliva and urine can cause sensitivity.

Introducing Anti-Blemish Clinical Clearing Gel
Fact: Blemishes are a universal skin care concern, across all ages, ethnicities and genders. Research shows that blemish sufferers try multiple remedies to address this concern including prescription treatments. However, many treatments can be too harsh for sensitive skins, or the side effects could even aggravate the problem.
Solution: As a pioneer in the dermatological concerns category, Clinique delivers a highly effective yet gentle approach for treating blemishes right at home. In a four week UK sensory study, 75% of women agreed that they saw fewer breakouts and visibly clearer looking skin.*
There are a multitude of culprits that cause blemishes to surface. Environmental pollutants, bacteria, excess oil and improper cleansing can lead to clogged pores and cause breakouts. Blemishes are also linked to stress, hormonal changes and fatigue, which can make them very difficult to predict and control.
Breakouts can also be an emotional issue. Research shows that it can lead to self consciousness, embarrassment, lack of confidence and poor self esteem. In addition to trying a myriad of formulas to treat their breakouts, women also try to cover their blemishes with concealer or foundation which can look unnatural and clog pores, causing the problem to become exacerbated.
Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel implements a 4-in-1 Clearing Complex to help treat and prevent future breakouts, combining exfoliating and anti-blemish agents with sebum-controlling and anti-irritant agents. Also, the unique alcohol and water base provides quick absorption while witch hazel water helps minimise excess surface oil and tightens pores.
Here's how the 4-in-1 Clearing Complex works:
Anti-Blemish: Salicylic Acid clears away dead surface cells that clog pores to help resolve and prevent breakouts. Control-oil: Laminaria Saccharina helps normalise the excess production of oil. Non-irritating: Sea Whip Extract calms and soothes skin and helps reduce surface redness. Exfoliate: Salicylic Acidpromotes healthy cell turnover.
Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel can be applied all over the face or used as a spot treatment.
If used all over the face, apply a thin layer of Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel after cleansing. Do not use with other leave-on acne treatment products and be sure to apply an oil-free moisturiser over the gel such as Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel to ensure skin stays hydrated and comfortable. If used as a spot treatment, apply a thin layer of Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gelto blemishes after Anti-Blemish Solutions 3-Step Skin Care System.
Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel is a fast-drying, oil-free formula that starts working immediately to help clear blemishes, is dermatologist tested, promotes healing, and helps prevent future breakouts.
Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.

Top US Pregnancy-Safe Skin Care Brand, The Spoiled Mama, Arrives In The UK At Effortless Skin
Many expectant mums experience skin problems during pregnancy, with up to 80%* of women experiencing stretch marks and up to 70%** developing uneven patches of pigmentation called Melasma/Chloasma, often known as the 'mask of pregnancy'. Pregnancy-safe skin care has always been a difficult road to navigate during pregnancy, but Effortless Skin is excited to announce that they have found the solution in the form of top US brand The Spoiled Mama.
Billed as the world's-safest pregnancy skin care line, The Spoiled Mama only use natural and organic ingredients to address the biggest skin concerns for pregnant women and new mums, such as stretch marks, acne, hyper-sensitivity and Melasma. Available exclusively from Effortless Skin, each product strikes the right balance between being effective enough to provide results, with being gentle enough not to cause irritation. The impressive range includes: - the best-selling Tummy Butter, a Cocoa Butter enriched stretch mark softener that boosts the production of elastin to increase the strength and resilience of the skin - the Clear C Vitamin C Serum for Melasma, which effectively fades dark spots without damaging the skin - the hilariously named Fix That Sucker Nipstick, a lanolin-free balm that provides much needed relief from cracked nipples during breastfeeding.
Helen Elldred, Effortless Skin Marketing Director comments:
"We are so happy to have brought this brand over from the States as it is incredibly hard for pregnant women to find skin care that will address their concerns but that doesn't include any of the potentially harmful ingredients that they are told to avoid. We know all too well how greatly sought after this kind of range is and we believe it will provide a number of solutions for pregnant women and new mothers across the country."
All The Spoiled Mama products use a blend of organic and botanical ingredients that provide all the same benefits as high end cosmeceuticals and are free from parabens, preservatives, synthetic fragrances and petroleum derivatives. Visit www.effortlessskin.com to view the full range.
Top 10 Tips:
Effortless Skin has the following tips on how to look after your skin during pregnancy:
- Simplify your skin care routine. The skin can become very unpredictable during pregnancy so go back to basics; just cleanser, serum, moisturiser and SPF, while your skin adjusts to the change in hormones.
- Use products that contain natural ingredients and oils to soothe dry, itchy skin and replenish fatty acid levels to help increase the skin's resilience.
- Avoid ingredients like Salicylic Acid and parabens which can be potentially harmful during pregnancy.
- Keep flannels and gentle Vitamin E-based moisturisers in the fridge to cool and provide relief for stressed or inflamed skin.
- Use a rich, hydrating balm or butter on areas prone to stretch marks, like the stomach and thighs, as early as possible during the pregnancy, to keep them to a minimum.
- Wear a high factor sunscreen on any areas of exposed skin to limit the damage done by the sun's UV rays and to minimise the risk of developing Melasma/hyperpigmentation.
- Avoid using soap-based products and washing in hot water, as these can dry out the skin and make it uncomfortable.
- Don't use any pore-clogging make-up to keep blemishes under control.
- Try not to stress about developing stretch marks or other skin conditions, as this can contribute to the development of acne, inflammation and oily skin.
- If acne and oily skin are becoming an issue, start using a clay based mask once a week to safely clean out the pores and absorb excess oil.

Beam Me Up Scotty! The Infrared Hot Pants That Fight Cellulite!
It sounds like something from a Sci-Fi fantasy film, but hot pants made from fabric containing bio active crystals -- beaming near infrared rays into the skin -- could be the latest cure for cellulite.
Crafted from innovative Amana® fabrics, MACOM® Smooth hot pants are built with bioactive crystals that absorb body heat and return it in the form of far infrared rays. These rays penetrate the skin and interact with the body, stimulating blood microcirculation and cellular metabolism. Increased blood flow then leads to higher stamina, and promotes collagen synthesis to leave the skin looking healthier, younger, and smoother.
The re-radiation of far infrared rays onto the skin regulates the temperature of the skin surface. The increased blood flow reduces the build-up of fat in the area and allows the lymph glands to expel the fat more efficiently, reducing the signs of cellulite.
Scientific studies using the Emana® fabric have shown that skin elasticity increases by up to 12% when Emana® is worn for 6 hours per day throughout a 60 day period. The efficiency of the fabric increases even further during physical activity due to the resulting increase in body surface temperature. More efficient blood microcirculation contributes to the reduction of lactic acid in muscles, too, thereby reducing muscle fatigue and improving recovery times.
Trials found:
· An 11% increase in skin elasticity in 67% of Emana® users
· An increase of 10% in collagen synthesis in 50% of Emana® users
· 73% of study participants saw a 14% improvement in the appearance of cellulite
· All claims as to Emana®'s efficacy have been assessed in accordance with recognised scientific protocols, with medical surveillance and the support of an independent laboratory
· All results were recorded on people who had been wearing Emana® fibre for 6 hours a day during a 60 day period
Consultant plastic surgeon Mr Christopher Inglefield, at London Bridge Plastic Surgery, said "I'm excited about the innovative Emana® fabrics which have been shown in quality clinical studies to be effective in improving cellulite and reducing muscle fatigue. I am looking forward in anticipation to study this fabric in our post-surgery garments as I believe this will enhance our patients recovery."
MACOM® Smooth are available in three versatile styles; Shorts (£80), High Waisted Shorts (£100) and High Waisted Leggings (£120)

Discover the mineral make-up difference with the new jane iredale Starter Kit, which introduces an introductory size selection of essentials for flawless skin, in a chic travel-size cosmetic case with extra-large mirror. It features multi-tasking pressed and loose bases, a mini powder brush, a moisturising, brightening primer and a hydrating spray to set the foundation for even longer wear.
The kit is available in five shades* to suit a wide range of skin tones (Light, Medium Light, Medium, Medium Dark and Dark) and is the ideal way to discover how you can feel totally confident in a make-up which actually improves the condition of your skin and is effortless to apply.
Start by smoothing a tiny dab of Smooth Affair Primer & Brightener over your face to enhance the look and durability of your make-up. The nourishing primer evens skin tone, minimises the appearance of pores and increases luminosity too.

Amazing Base helps you achieve a luminous appearance while PurePressed Base will achieve a semi-matte look. The mineral foundations have earned the Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation and provide four important functions in one: foundation, concealer, sunscreen and active skincare benefits.
Set the minerals and give your skin a dose of healthy, anti-ageing botanicals with POMMIST Hydration Spray.
The new Starter Kits available from February 2014, priced (£39.95 rrp). Full size versions of all the products featured in the kit are also available to buy. For more information and stockists go to www.janeiredale.co.uk or phone: 020 8450 7111.

Jamela Luxurious 24k Gold Facial Masks
Gold has always been revered for its beautifying benefits to the skin.
Historians claim that Cleopatra slept in a gold mask at night. Now with Jamela Skin Care's 24k Gold Collagen Facial Masks you don't have to be a queen to feel like one.
These luxurious, unique masks have been proven to increase the skin's moisture saturation level by up to 92%. With the added convenience of being a one piece gel sheet, no mess, no mixing no cracking, just place the cool refreshing gel mask on your face, smooth it down, and relax while the nutrients do their work, for a minimum of 30 minutes. The nutrients are absorbed 10 times faster than a traditional face mask, as the body temperature slowly dissolves the mask.
The 100% natural key ingredients of Mineral Gold, Plant Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Rose Essence, assist in stimulating collagen production, and improving elastin, whilst moisturising, hydrating and nourishing the skin.
The moisturised, plumped skin will feel smoother with a radiant glow, with a visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles..
These amazing masks are the perfect way to prepare the skin for a big night out, or as an indulgent home spa. Relax and unwind with a subtle rose fragrance, while the wonder properties of gold improve the complexion.
Endorsed by skincare specialists and celebrities, the gold facial mask is supplied to award winning spas and salons countrywide, as the latest "on trend" treatment. Top spa Ragdale Hall have built their "Miracle Facial" and "Golden Indulgence" treatments around these masks.
Featured on TOWIE as a "Hollywood Facial" and presented as a "Pamper Treat" to the housemates on Celebrity Big Brother, these potent skincare masks were supplied to the girls in the latest series of BINTM.
Super model Sophie Anderton says:-
"I simply love jamela skin care masks! I cannot live without the gold mask and gold eye masks. They are a must when on a flight or getting ready for the red carpet! My skin is left glowing and camera ready"
Dr Dawn Harper of C4's Embarrassing Bodies is a fan, whilst award winning Actress and Author Debbie Arnold has featured the gold masks in her soon to be published book "The best beauty tips in the world"
The facial masks are a part of Jamela's luxury gold series that also offers masks specifically designed for the neck, eyes, lips and breasts.
All Jamela Skin Care products are 100% natural, created with the most beautiful botanical and mineral ingredients that nature has to offer, they are non animal tested, contain no animal oils, alcohol nor synthetic fragrances, and are suitable for all skin types.

The Royal Kiss
Hitting the shelves for the first time this Winter, Wedderspoon Organic launches Queen of the Hive Natural lip balm!
Enriched with raw and organic Manuka honey, the lip balm's main ingredient is organic Manuka beeswax. Beeswax is secreted from the wax glands of the bee and is mainly used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products due to its moisturising and skin protective properties. One of the key causes of dry lips is licking them too much as they tend to dry out when the saliva evaporates and in harsh weather conditions lips becoming even dryer. Beeswax protects the lips as it is water repellent which prevents this action occurring and locks in moisture. Beeswax also contains vitamin A which is key for cell development and therefore can assist in repairing damaged lips.
Chapped, dry and flaking lips are a key sign that the winter has been but help is at hand from Wedderspoon Organic's Queen of the Hive natural lipcare, which has just been launched into the UK Market.
Like beeswax, Manuka honey is also very nutrient rich, and both offer anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial benefits. In addition, Queen of the Hive natural lipcare also contains shea butter, olive oil, cocoa butter and rosemary essential oils, which further nourish the lips. The addition of peppermint offers soothing properties. All ingredients except for the essential oils are organic and the product is free from petroleum, mineral oils, parabens and artificial colours.
Hitting the shelves in the UK this June, Queen of the Hive Natural Lipcare retails at £3.99 and is available from Harrods of Knightsbridge, John Bell & Croyden and leading Independent Retailers or by visiting www.wedderspoon.co.uk
NB - Other products include the Queen of the Hive Face Contour Mask with bee venom!

Natural Antioxidant Spray To Make You Feel Years Younger
A quick burst of Ubiquinol, the natural antioxidant, fights the effects of ageing from the inside out.
CoQ10, also known as ubiquinone, is produced in every cell in our bodies and converted into ubiquinol to help protect against free radical damage and the effects of ageing. Ubiquinol also helps support heart health, as well as the immune and nervous systems.
However, from the age of around 30, critical CoQ10 levels start to diminish which causes a decline in ubiquinol. This results in less cellular energy and reduced protection against oxidative stress, which produces free radicals that can damage the body’s cells, including proteins, membranes and genes. Oxidative damage has also been implicated in the cause of many diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer’s as well as having a significant effect impact on the body’s ageing process.
Restoring this essential nutrient to optimal levels helps to maintain adequate concentrations of ubiquinol in plasma and tissues to replenish and sustain natural energy, boosting the immune system and heart health.
Supplements in pill form, however, can be difficult for the body to digest with many containing unpleasant additives and often only 10% of the beneficial ingredients are absorbed.
Ubiquinol – CoQ10 is now available in a convenient flavoured spray, offering a quick burst of Ubiquinol – CoQ10 with up to 98% rapidly absorbed through the mouth tissues and delivered straight into the blood stream. Each lightweight tube of Ubiquinol – CoQ10 contains natural ingredients, including: Ubiquinol, Medium Chain Triglycerides, Monkfruit Extract and Peppermint & Orange Flavouring. Each tube contains 240 sprays providing accuracy and consistency of dosage in every burst and at least a months’ supply.
Ubiquinol – CoQ10 Spray (£22.95) is available from leading health and wellbeing site

Change Your Skincare With The Seasons
As we move into the colder, post-summertime weather, the air becomes cooler, crisper and our skin can be affectd if we don't take appropriate care of it. The most common skin complaints are dryness, redness, rawness, and chaffing. The colder weather has a number of effects on our skin. It makes our blood vessels dilate, causing redness of the skin. Goose pimples also form in the body's attempt to trap air between our hairs thus creating insulation and warmth. Because humidity is generally lower in the winter it means there is less water in the air, and this dries out our skin and hair. Cold winds and central heating also have the same effect, which leaves skin in need of some extra nourishment and moisturisation.
To remedy this, ensure your skin is hydrated and moisturised from inside and out. If you use a lighter skincare regimen in the summer, continue to follow this but take note of how your skin feels. Have your heavier, or combination of products ready as back up for when your skin starts to feel drier.

SleepPro Launches The First Stop Snoring Mouthpiece Designed Just For Women
"Women in particular do not like to think they snore - there's a stigma attached to it - yet they account for 40 per cent of snorers," says Dr Martin Allen, a consultant physician at the University Hospital of North Staffordshire, and a spokesperson for the British Lung Foundation.
This recent comment is one of many that have been made recently highlighting the rapidly growing awareness amongst women that they snore - and that it's not just a male problem. More and more current UK research statistics show that women are heading in increased numbers to their GP, Dentist, or Clinic looking for a solution to this worrying situation.
Meditas, who produce SleepPro, are a British company, and the established market leader in the design, development and manufacture of high quality, affordable mandibular advancement splints for preventing snoring (MAD's).
SleepPro offer a range of high quality mouthpieces to help prevent serious health problems caused by heavy snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea. The company was first established in 1998 and has moved on to be the leading UK brand, having been designed by a group of specialist medical and dental professionals
As a response to significant market demand from earlier product trials, they have now produced 'SleepPro Woman', a mouthpiece that has been specially designed with just women in mind.
The newly produced mouthpiece is a version of the very highly successful SleepPro Standard, which has a 97% success rating amongst all customers and full NHS Approval status for treating snoring. The new mouthpiece produces a snug and comfortable fit for extra comfort. This is due to the special way for self-fitting and possible retro-adjustment as a result of the 'Boil and Bite' technology that customizes the fit, and will result in a great night's sleep and the all the associated health benefits.
This highly affordable and effective mouthpiece helps to open your airway while you sleep, allowing the free flow of air through your nose and mouth, putting an end to those sleepless nights and low quality sleep.
This uniquely targeted product is produced appropriately in pink, and is the very first anti-snoring mouthpiece that is specifically produced for women only, and in some households, where both partners may snore, it will be a great help.
Importantly, as 25th October marks the 11th anniversary of Breast Cancer Campaign's annual national fundraising event #wearitpink, SleepPro will be donating £1 from the sale of each of these SleepPro Woman products to the charity from 21st to 25th October inclusive, to help with vital research.

Marie Reynolds London Massage Candles
Luxury Massage Candles
Marie Reynolds has been a professional Beauty Therapist for over 20 years and throughout her career has accumulated a wealth of experience working with the some of the finest skin and body care products from around the world
Everyone who has had the pleasure to have a treatment with Marie is bowled over by her expertise and vision. Using her vast knowledge of oriental diagnosis and facial techniques, as well as homeopathy, nutrition and genetics, what she delivers is more than just a facial; her diagnostic consultations provide an insight into a clients health and lifestyle enabling her to offer advice that will ensure the well-being of the client and the health of the skin.
Massage plays a big part in Marie’s treatments, and to this end she has created a range of the most beautiful candles designed to be incorporated into her treatments – and to be used at home as an aromatic room fragrance and massage oil. There are five candles in the range and all are made from ethically sourced organic soya wax, creating a clean, safe-burning candle. The soya wax liquefies from a low melting point which enables it to be scooped from the candle and massaged into the skin (use a spoon or spatula to scoop the wax). Pre-burn, the candle wax is gentle enough to be used as a lip/body/face balm!
Three of the candles in the range: ‘Aromawax’ include Argan Oil* and a blend of pure essential oils. Argan Oil is known for its nourishing properties and is a rich source of vitamin E, whilst Soya holds a complete amino acid complex which is also very hydrating. The combination of the two as a base, along with the therapeutic benefits of pure essential oils, truly represents a luxurious addition to any beauty routine.
‘Aromawax’ Candles:
Indulge - luxurious ylang ylang, neroli and bergamot
Passion- Blackcurrant & Champagne
Hot Toddy - Spiced Apple, Mandarin, Satsuma, Peach, Cinnamon & Nutmeg, with a subtle Gold Body Shimmer .
Three Kings- Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh
Faith - Pomegranate Seed, Lemongrass, Grapefruit & bergamot with Pink Mica ( in association with The Pink Ribbon Foundation)
Honour - Poppy seed oil, Lime, Lemongrass and Grapefruit ( in association with Honour British Troops)
‘Candle de Parfum’:
Two further massage candles ‘Candle de Parfum’’ have an organic soya wax base infused with top, middle and base notes to create a bouquet of aromas that will last throughout the burn time. The melted soya wax can be applied to the skin allowing the aroma to stabilize so that the scent lasts longer and with the added benefit of the hydrating properties of soya wax, not only will your skin glow but it will also be beautifully fragranced!
* ‘Liv’ - a blend of soft citrus, bergamot and fragrant amber with a background of tonka seed, fleur d'oranger, vanilla, sandal and sweet musk.
* ‘Hope’ - luxurious cocoa and shea butter with the heady aroma of sweet frangipani
‘Hair & Aftershave Balms’
Masculine Notes delicately engage with oils and butters creating Carpe & Diem. Used as hair balms and aftershave butters.

Say Hello To The World's First Eco-Certified Self-Tanning Brand: TanOrganic
With the British sunshine emigrating until next summer, its time to turn to our old friend 'fake tan' to get the lovely golden glow. The only problem is that most of us are sick of that horrible biscuity smell that we all associate with fake tan. The horrible chemical smell that lingers... the smell we associate with a Winter Wedding!
Say hello to TanOrganic, the world's first and only Eco-certified self tanning brand. Made with natural ingredients, TanOrganic is based with Aloe Vera-based, making it much more moisturising than other tans on the market. It also contains no parabens, chemicals or artificial drying agents so your skin will feel smooth and supple and not dry and flaky.
Whilst we all love a nice natural tan but we don't want to run the risk of permanent ageing our skin or skin cancer, we are also becoming more aware of the effects of synthetic ingredients on our skin. Did you know that a study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health found that up to 64% of what we put on our skin can be absorbed into our bloodstream. The average woman directly applies more than 200 synthetic ingredients to her skin via personal care products each day with the skin soaking around 2kg of synthetic ingredients a year - that is a very scary statistic.
Many self tans claim to be natural and organic but may only contain trace elements of an organic material. TanOrganic however, is the World's first Eco-Certified self tanning brand, made from 95% certified organic ingredients. Eco-certification is one of the most stringent in the market as Ecocert, the entire production chain is checked, from the raw material to the finished product. TanOrganic is also certified by PETA, The Organic Trust, The Vegan Society and The Ethical Company Organisation so its not just eco-friendly!
TanOrganic is getting global recognition and is stocked from Australia to Kuwait. Its recently been taken on by Amazon.co.uk and feelunique.com and is also available from Win Naturally, Nature & Co., Bath & Unwind, Appuru and online from tanorganic.com with free delivery to the UK.

Black Chicken Remedies New Purifying Oil Cleanser Is Skin Saving And Myth Busting
Award winning Australian skincare brand, Black Chicken Remedies has just added a purifying oil cleanser to their product suite. Cleanse My Face is an oil cleanser that is chemical free. This rich, luxurious anti-ageing cleansing solution gently and effectively removes make-up, nourishes skin and boosts radiance.
Cleanse My Face uses 14 medicinal oils to dissolve excess oil and target impurities held deep within your skin. It effortlessly removes makeup and dirt without disturbing your skins natural oil balance.
Founder Chey Birch says “A common myth about using an oil cleanser is that is not as effective as an foaming or cream cleanser. The opposite is actually true, high quality oil cleansers are far superior for two main reasons: Most cream and foaming cleansers contain parabens, fragrance, dyes or alcohol that are used to strip away dirt. These cleansers remove dirt but they also strip away your skins delicate oil balance, which contributes to premature ageing through the dehydrating effects on your skin. Our skin is porous, so there is no buffer to prevent chemical toxins in some cleaners penetrating the skin and ending up in the bloodstream”
Cleanse My Face is particularity effective for those affected by acne, excess oil, hormonal skin changes or simply tight & sensitive skin after cleansing. It’s a versatile oil acting as both an instant pick-me-up for tired and dehydrated skin and a balancing treatment for oily and pimple-prone skin.
“Our growing fan base of customers demanded a cleanser for sensitive skin so we developed it. Cleanse My Face is purifying oil cleanser developed on the understanding of a well known scientific theory – ‘Like dissolves like’ simply put, to effectively dissolve oil on the skin you need to apply oil to the skin” said Chey.
This silky smooth cleansing formulation contains Organic Castor oil for its ability to penetrate more deeply than any other plant oil and draw out impurities held deeply, Organic Camellia Tea oil as its rich in nutrients and antioxidants, Organic Sesame seed oil for it antibacterial, antifungal and its anti-inflammatory powers, Organic Jojoba to balance oil flow plus Organic Macadamia oil for mature skin with depleted sebum to nourish and revive the skin. It also contains the essential oils of Palma Rosa to balance sebum and stimulate cell regeneration, Patchouli to calm inflamed skin and Geranium to combat the effects of hormone changes. Overall it’s a supercharged oil mixture that cleanses and calms at the deepest level.
Why it works:
-Your skin naturally produces oil because it needs it. Oil is not the enemy to be eradicated. Oil is there to protect and lubricate the skin, allowing your body’s largest organ to function properly.
-Oil dissolves oil. Massaging oil into your skin will dissolve any oil which has hardened with impurities and is blocking your pores.
Key Benefits:
All Black Chicken Remedies products are based on the guiding principle that if you love your skin, it will love you back. All Black Chicken Remedies products are crammed full of 100% natural goodness. “The skin is the largest organ in the body and everything we put on it is absorbed into our system – the more natural we can make our skincare, the more our bodies will thank us” said Chey.
Chey Birch, founder of Black Chicken Remedies, took her inspiration from the medicine men of traditional communities who used nature as their pharmacy and extracted the healing properties of plants to creating healing remedies. Chey continues to develop her passion for learning about the healing properties of plants bringing the therapeutic power of nature to health- and environment- conscious consumers.

New Light-Activated Suncream Will Cut Skin Cancer
With a Bank Holiday weekend around the corner and the expected return of sunny weather, families around Britain are hoping not to put the suncream away just yet.
However, while many suncreams provide good protection against the sun's UVB rays, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, they provide less protection against more prevalent UVA rays. Scientists believe this may be one of the reasons why skin cancer incidence rates are increasing worldwide.
Now researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology have created an innovative ingredient which when applied in a suncream can act as a UVA filter and provide fuller protection against skin damage.
In the UK, over 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, of which 10,000 are malignant melanoma - the deadliest form of the disease and also the fifth most common cancer in the UK.
The scientists in Bath have previously shown that when exposed to the UVA component of sunlight, the skin releases iron and produces free radicals. Free radicals are harmful species that damage the skin cells by interacting with fat, protein and DNA of the cells. The release of free iron promotes the formation of additional, harmful free radicals that increase the damage caused and has been shown to play a key role in skin ageing and the onset of skin cancer.
The new compounds are light activated when exposed to relevant doses of UVA, and unique in how they release anti-oxidants to neutralise free radicals whilst at the same time capturing excess iron in the skin.
Dr Charareh Pourzand, Researcher in Pharmacy & Pharmacology said: "Antioxidants have already been used as a means to counteract the skin damage caused by UVA. However these agents are not effective, since the simultaneous release of iron in the cells continues to generate more harmful free radicals. The use of 'naked' iron chelators for skin protection is also not adequate, since such agents would starve the cells from the iron that is necessary.
"The molecules we have developed respond to sunlight and provide a safe solution to this problem. The potential medical impact of this project is significant as the caged-iron chelators could provide a highly effective means of protection against UVA- and UVB-induced skin damage and associated skin cancer."
Medicinal chemist Dr Ian Eggleston added: "The new compounds that we are synthesising provide a highly effective means of protection against both UVA- and UVB-induced skin damage and associated skin cancer, without inducing toxicity in cells. These compounds will be applied as a 'pro-drug' to the skin as part of a suncream, and then activated at the right time and in the right place by UVA."
At the beginning of the year this work benefited from a grant provided by Garnier and the British Skin Foundation.
Hermione Lawson, from the British Skin Foundation, commented: "We are very excited to play a part in this pioneering research that could lead to a new generation of sunscreens. It is essential this kind of scientific research continues to be funded so that we can further our understanding of the complex relationship between UV rays and the development of skin cancer. We look forward to the continued findings of Drs Pourzand and Eggleston and their team."
However, while many suncreams provide good protection against the sun's UVB rays, the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn, they provide less protection against more prevalent UVA rays. Scientists believe this may be one of the reasons why skin cancer incidence rates are increasing worldwide.
Now researchers from the University of Bath's Department of Pharmacy & Pharmacology have created an innovative ingredient which when applied in a suncream can act as a UVA filter and provide fuller protection against skin damage.
In the UK, over 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, of which 10,000 are malignant melanoma - the deadliest form of the disease and also the fifth most common cancer in the UK.
The scientists in Bath have previously shown that when exposed to the UVA component of sunlight, the skin releases iron and produces free radicals. Free radicals are harmful species that damage the skin cells by interacting with fat, protein and DNA of the cells. The release of free iron promotes the formation of additional, harmful free radicals that increase the damage caused and has been shown to play a key role in skin ageing and the onset of skin cancer.

Banish Your Bikini Waxing Hang Ups
Following the latest news of increasing concern about the infection risks of intimate waxing (http://tinylink.net/28352 ), Australian Bodycare is reassuring women nationwide that there is a hygienic way
to wax. Australian Bodycare is bucking the trend of traditional waxing methods that can lead to bacterial, viral and fungal infections with their revolutionary hygienic anti-bacterial system, keeping ladies hygienic, happy
and hair-free across the nation.
Chair of Medical Microbiology at Manchester Metropolitan University, Professor Valerie Edwards-Jones said: "Hygiene is of the utmost importance in the waxing arena especially with the increase in popularity of intimate
waxing. As well as following the correct precautions, using tea-tree based wax and aftercare is an excellent method of minimising the risk of infection. Tea-tree oil is a natural antiseptic, killing a range of potentially harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses at low concentrations. In addition, several research studies have shown tea-tree oil to have anti-inflammatory properties which can also have a cooling effect following waxing"
The main culprit is 'double dipping', and to help eliminate this, Australian Bodycare has developed the unique Hy-Wax system. The innovation uses the highly recommended wax tubes with individual disposable dispensing heads - meaning a completely hygienic wax every time. The disposable dispensing head has been designed with an anti flow back system, so that only wax in the disposable dispensing head comes into contact with the client's skin, an a fresh head is used for each client.
Australian Bodycare also has a pre and post wax range, which helps to fight infection and keep skin hydrated and
healthy in between salon trips. The range includes an Exfoliating Body Wash (£11.99, 200ml), recommended to help eliminate ingrown hairs and a Body Lotion (£10.50, 150ml) to help keep your skin smooth and supple.

Spacesaving Beauty Products
Playing suitcase Tetris to fit everything in? These beauty minis will get you through it...
Packing for a holiday is a hard task in itself, but with airlines squeezing their baggage allowance every item counts... These clever buys will work even if you're on hand luggage only.
No more packing heavy bottles of cleanser and shower gel only to find they've leaked in your suitcase... The Konjac Sponge is the newest Japanese skin sensation, made entirely from 100% pure Konjac plant root mixed with volcanic spring water. This naturally moisturising sponge balances the acidity of the skin's impurities and oils, stimulates blood flow and encourages growth of new skin cells. Clays are baked through to address different skin issues from French Red Clay for dry and sensitive skin to Green Clay for oily or problem skin and Pink Clay for tired, sensitive and dehydrated skin - ideal for skin that's been overexposed to the sun. To use the sponge simply immerse in water (they hold more than ten times their weight in liquid) and wipe over the face or body to remove all dirt and make-up without the need for any additional cleanser. The sponge is gentle even on the delicate eye area and as the edges are soft it makes exfoliating and massaging away any excess fluid (or the effect of one too many cocktails) simple and quick. Simply rinse the sponge after use and hang using the attached strings, then re-immerse in warm water to use again. They are currently available from £6.99 at Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and at www.konjacspongecompany.com
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with new colours and styles. Front Cover have got your holiday make-up sussed with their high pigment shadows and the NEW Gold Liquid Eyeliner (£8) which will looks incredible with a tan and is a fun change from the usual black.

A Spray A Day Keeps The Dentist Needle Away
A revolutionary new nasal spray at the dentist could signal the end of the "dreaded" needle.
Scientists at the University at Buffalo have pioneered the spray to replace the need for needles, a move that could encourage 15 million people in the UK with dental anxiety1 to visit the dentist.
The nasal spray, called Kovacaine Mist2, appeared to be just as, if not more effective than a standard anaesthetic, with more than four in five patients (83 per cent) requiring no further anaesthetic. Founder Dr Mark Kollar, DDS, noted the spray provided anaesthesia of the teeth 'sufficient for the performance of restorative dental procedures', giving hope to millions of nervous patients.
Chief Executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr Nigel Carter OBE, welcomed the innovation.
Dr Carter said: "Patients anxious of the dentist are, in theory, likely to have poorer oral health than those who get regular check-ups. This nasal spray could be a very promising addition to any dental practice.
"If you haven't seen a dentist for years through fear or anxiety, be reassured that you should find the experience dramatically more bearable nowadays. Most people who are scared of the dentist have bad memories from childhood of the smells and sounds of the surgery. Modern dental surgeries are much friendlier environments with flowers in the waiting room, art on the walls, a pleasant reception area and polite staff. It's altogether a gentler experience."
The spray could be good news for adults with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), after a study in the Journal of Oral Sciences3 showed a higher prevalence of the condition in dentally anxious patients.
The same group of patients also had lower levels of self-reported oral health, a trend also witnessed in children with ADHD.
Dr Carter added: "Adults and children with ADHD have more specific needs when it comes to treatment. Needles may present a significant barrier to them receiving treatment, so the successful piloting of the spray may really help to improve this particular group's oral health.
Regular visits to the dentist are incredibly important. Regular check-ups can identify early signs of gum disease. The cost of not doing so has health implications, not to mention more extensive cost implications."
The results of the company's successful phase II clinical trials were published in May's Journal of Dental Research. Forty-five adult participants needing restorations participated in the single-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-control, parallel-group study. Of the 45 patients, 30 were selected at random to receive the nasal spray, and the remaining 15 received the lidocaine injection. 83.3 per cent given the nasal spray required no further anaesthetic.

Fight Baby Flab With Focused Fitness Plan
As the Duchess of Cambridge nears the end of her pregnancy, fitness experts advise that effective physical activity during pregnancy will help to lose the pounds once the baby is born.
With many new mums under pressure to get back into pre-baby shape as soon as possible, the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) is advising expectant mums to create a fitness regime that is specifically designed to enhance their health while pregnant. It will also help them to get back into shape after their pregnancy.
Sarah Bolitho, a REPs registered trainer specialising in ante- and post-natal exercise, said: "The Duchess of Cornwall will have found out by now that during pregnancy a woman's body is working very hard to create a baby and this can be physically exhausting as it takes a lot of energy. It is also a tiring time emotionally for many women as they may be anxious about their health, or the health of the baby. These factors mean that exercise is often the last thing on a mum-to-be's mind, yet it has so many benefits it should be promoted as much as healthy eating during pregnancy. There are now so many activity options to choose from that there is bound to be something that you find appealing, from swimming, ante natal classes, walking groups, the gym or even yoga."
REPs includes a category for fitness professionals that work specifically in ante- and post-natal activity. The Register advises women to seek out specialists who can give tailored advice for pregnant women, ensuring fitness regimes are both safe and effective.
Greg Small, REPs Operations Manager, said: "The decision to take up the services of an registered exercise professional shouldn't be left to chance. Whether you're using a gym instructor, yoga teacher, pilates instructor or group-exercise-to-music instructor, you should always ask whether they are a REPs member before beginning your session. In-depth knowledge of ways to exercise in a way that is beneficial to both you and your baby is extremely important."
Sarah Bolitho's top active tips for a healthier pregnancy
Focus on building activity into your daily life. Take a short walk every day, or take the stairs instead of the lift. If you exercise a lot, or you're an athlete, then accept that for nine months your training routine will be different, and focus on learning new ways to be active. As pregnancy progresses you should taper down the amount and intensity of activity so that by the middle of the third trimester you are exercising at around 70% of your pre-pregnancy levels. Always listen to your body and if you feel you need to cut back more then do, or swap to a more gentle form of activity. If you attend classes or the gym, make sure your instructor is qualified in working with ante- and post-natal women, is a member of REPs, and has appropriate insurance.
With many new mums under pressure to get back into pre-baby shape as soon as possible, the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) is advising expectant mums to create a fitness regime that is specifically designed to enhance their health while pregnant. It will also help them to get back into shape after their pregnancy.
Sarah Bolitho, a REPs registered trainer specialising in ante- and post-natal exercise, said: "The Duchess of Cornwall will have found out by now that during pregnancy a woman's body is working very hard to create a baby and this can be physically exhausting as it takes a lot of energy. It is also a tiring time emotionally for many women as they may be anxious about their health, or the health of the baby. These factors mean that exercise is often the last thing on a mum-to-be's mind, yet it has so many benefits it should be promoted as much as healthy eating during pregnancy. There are now so many activity options to choose from that there is bound to be something that you find appealing, from swimming, ante natal classes, walking groups, the gym or even yoga."

How effective are hair restoration solutions?
Many people are fed up of hearing unfounded claims about a range of products, which often end up being nothing more than a marketing gimmick and never actually work as well as they claim to. For men and women who are experiencing hair loss, finding a good hair restoration solution is very important, but just how do you differentiate between a quality, effective hair restorer and one that talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk?
Well, there are a number of things that you need to look for to ensure that you end up with a hair restoration product that is not only effective but is also going to be safe for you to use. The effectiveness of these products can vary based on a number of factors. By doing your research you will have a far better idea of how well suited and how good the solution you are considering is likely to be.
What to look for when comparing restoration solutions
If you are comparing hair restoration products, there are a number of things to look at in order to boost the chances of success. This includes:
Is the product suitable for you? You may find that some hair restoration solutions are not even suited to your needs, which means that they are not going to be effective. For example, a lot of these products are designed for use by men only, which means that they may not be effective for women and could even result in health issues if used, such as high blood pressure. However, there are some products that can be used by both men and women.
What is the success rate? Looking at the success rate of any products you are considering using will give you a good idea of its likely effectiveness. Some of these products have a success rate over more than 80%, which means that they are effective in the vast majority of cases.
How safe are they? If you opt for a restoration solution that contains harsh chemicals or ingredients, you could end up having a reaction or experiencing health problems as a result, including high blood pressure. This means that you will end up not being able to use the product without risking your health. Check to ensure that the product you are considering contains natural ingredients and is therefore safe to use.
The above are key areas that you should look at before you make a decision with regards to which hair restoration solution to use.

Don't Stress About Going Grey......It Will Only Make It Worse!
A new research study* revealed that too much stress really does turn our hair white. Researchers have discovered the cells that give hair its colour disappear when the body is exposed to stress hormones. Unfortunately the colourful cells are unlikely to return, leaving our hair grey for good, unless we turn to the dye bottle! Scientists in the United States carried out a study which showed the startling effect that stress has on our hair.
Most of us spot our first grey hairs around the age of 25 and different factors are often to blame such as; genetics, alcohol and smoking. However Dr Mayumi Ito from New York University, who led the new study stated there was evidence that stress could make melanin 'migrate' away from the hair follicle.
It seems one answer to not going grey is to keep calm and not stress with the help of RESCUE Remedy which is a combination of five Bach™ Original Flower Remedies specially blended to comfort and provide relief from everyday stressful situations. The flower remedies are Star of Bethlehem, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose and Cherry Plum and is suitable for all the family.

Natural Care Products Based On Honey And Plant Extracts
Since the dawn of time honey has enchanted on account of its properties to which people have long treated themselves. A traditional ingredient that nourishes, heals, softens and moisturises as well as acting as an antioxidant, honey has been used since ancient times to make the skin more attractive and to treat wounds.
Honey also helps rejuvenate the skin and acts as a vehicle for the other active substances, its presence resulting in a better absorption of the plant extracts. Honey is also an excellent ally for so-called "problem" skins (acne, red blotches, etc.) and plays the role of preservative and antiseptic, which represents a substantial asset for products of natural origin!
Bee Nature is a new honey-based cosmetic range. The products are of natural origin and do not contain phenoxyethanol, paraben or mineral oil.
The Bee Nature range comprises products of well-being for daily use and for the whole family:
a hand and nail cream, a lip balm, a body milk, a face cream, a shower milk and a soap.
We guarantee that none of our products or ingredients have been tested on animals.

Face yoga for the ‘i-generation’
Facial yoga is one of the beauty trends ’du jour’ although it has been practiced for eons. Enthusiasts suggest it can prevent wrinkles, firm jowls and stimulate a healthy glow and its supporters are believed to include Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow.
It is thought that facial yoga is growing in popularity because of the downsides associated with Botox and fillers. However even the most ardent advocates suggest that you need to be dedicated if you are to achieve results and that the 18 different exercises the programme require dogged (or is that downward dogged) determination to perform on a daily basis. Added to which the contortions can be downright embarrassing to perform - from grimacing to gurning – and have to be done ‘just-so’ in order to achieve results.
Fortunately help is at hand in the shape of an electronic device which allows users to achieve all the beneficial effects of facial yoga without the contortions or the need to perform the stringent exercise routine on a daily basis. Slendertone Face users simply slip on a headset attached to a cordless rechargeable unit the size of a mobile phone, which is programmed to stimulate the facial muscles for up to 20 minutes. They then simply get on with their daily routine, watch TV or read a book, while the device takes the strain.
Slendertone Face also takes the guess work out of exercising the face. The facial muscles are small and to achieve optimum results they need to be moved in the correct manner. The device is designed in such a way that it sits on the face in the correct position to target the main facial nerve which runs from the ear to the corners of the mouth, which in turn send messages all the key facial muscles to contract. An independent clinical study conducted at the University of Galway amongst Slendertone Face users reported an improvement in trialists’ radiance and complexions by week two and by week twelve 94% the trialists stated their face felt firmer, 90% reported improvement in facial tone and 80% reported their face looked lifted.
Meanwhile ultrasound measurements showed an average increase in facial muscle thickness by 18.6%. Once the facial muscles have been toned, the overlying skin is and therefore the visible signs of ageing - fine lines and wrinkles – are diminished. As an added benefit, Slendertone Face does not crease the skin like facial yoga as the electronic pulses penetrate to the muscles under the skin without moving the surface.
Nichola Joss is a facialist who firmly believes in the powers of facial massage and exercise She incorporates the use of Slendertone Face on clients she treats - who include Kate Moss, Darcey Bussell, Elle McPherson, Alice Eve and Kelly Brooke - and encourages clients to continue to use the device at home to invigorate and tone their facial muscles.
There are two films on the Slendertone website giving you more of Nichola Joss’ facial massage tips and hints - www.slendertone.com and you can also purchase a Slendertone Face from the site. High street stockists include Boots, Harrods and Very and it is now also available to experience at The Sanctuary Spa.

At the Aura-Soma (Demeter certified) biodynamic Shire Farm, we grow as much as we can to be used in our products, sourcing other ingredients from organic and biodynamic farms across the world. Plants grown using these methods have more vitality and a profoundly positive effect on the raw materials produced from them. Embracing this holistic approach from our farming, sourcing of raw materials, through to creating the skincare preparations, enhances our philosophy - look after the soil, feed the skin, nourish the soul.
Skincare: The inclusion of cutting edge spagyric tinctures of crystal energies together with the waveforms of colour, make this a range that actually offers more than just skincare, for those who wish to nurture and care for themselves in a more meaningful way.

Essential Summer Rescue Gel For Itchy Dry Skin
Cardiospermum is wonder plant for summer dry skin & eczema.
Cardiospermum is an Indian plant extract known for it's potent anti inflammatory actions on itchy and dry skin conditions, namely eczema. Several previous studies have confirmed it's ability to reduce itching and inflammation of the skin.
A recent study* has found that not only does Cardiospermum reduce skin inflammation it also destroys the bacteria that triggers itchy skin flare ups.
The new study, published in the Journal of Medical Plant Research, found that out of six medicinal plants tested for their anti-bacterial actions, Cardiospermum was found to be the most effective at fighting common skin bacteria that often gets into open dry skin and eczema sores causing itching and inflammation.
Cardiospermum is one of the commonest herbs used for skin problems from Skri Lanka. Its botanical term is Cardiospermum halicacabum, but is locally known as balloon vine. This small and delicate wiry climber's main medicinal powers lie mostly in its leaves which have been used for hundreds of years in Sri Lanka as a poultice for skin irritation, namely eczema and dermatitis. Skin Shop's Cardiospermum Gel has been shown in a UK trial to be more effective than steroids in the treatment of itchy dry skin and eczema.
The trial was carried out by a doctor, on 50 people, 28 of whom were previously using steroids for their sensitive skin. The trial found that the Cardiospermum Gel was both more effective and significantly more pleasant to use than all existing treatment the patients had tried, including steroids. Notably, 66% of the patients said they intended to continue using the gel in preference to their previously preferred treatments.
Dr Donald Grant, a Bristol based GP who carried out the trial comments, "As Cardiospermum Gel can be shown to be as effective as a basket of other treatments for itchy dry skin, including steroids, and at the same time is
significantly more user-friendly and has a low risk of side-effects, there seems to be a compelling argument to encourage its use and to pursue further research into its effectiveness."
Aside from the UK trial, Cardiospermum is gaining a reputation for its anti-inflammatory and soothing dermatological effect on skin prone to eczema and dermatitis and has been studied in more than 12 published research trials on its medicinal effects on inflammatory conditions of the skin. In one recent double blind study
carried out in Germany Cardiospermum was found to have a significant anti-inflammatory effect without any side effects.
Cardiospermum Gel is Free from perfume, parabens and SLS and can be used on adults and children.
Skin Shop's Cardiospermum Gel costs £9.95 for 100ml Call: 0844 7009975 or visit www.skinshop.co.uk

Bringing Skin Alive With Electric Body
The amazing true story behind the development of the world's first 'live' skin products and their journey from
dairy parlour to beauty parlour, will be revealed to visitors at the Anti-Ageing Health & Beauty Show this weekend.
Based on the remarkable restorative power of natural colostrum, containing the most precious ingredients for life, the brand has broken the mould in the beauty world by fusing a fundamental product of nature and the science of quantum physics.
Electric Body's Skin Elixir, Body Spray and Body Polish, which sell through top clinics and exclusive spas, have attracted rave reviews from beauty writers and practitioners.
Described by one as "liquid gold for your skin", the all-in-one cream combines New Zealand dairy colostrum with healing ingredients, including organic aloe vera, blueberry and colloidal silver, to produce a multi-purpose product that goes a very long way.
Excellent as an anti-ageing night cream, day moisturiser, toner, lip salve, eye serum, foot lotion, cuticle oil and even after shave balm, its composition is so pure, you can eat it.
But that would be a waste. Because applied to the skin, fine lines, wrinkles, damaged, injured, dehydrated and irritated skin, are visibly improved in just three days.
"The feedback from our clients is quite remarkable," says MD of Electric Body Europe, Susan Fleet. "Some say they can feel the 'energy' in these products even before they are applied to the skin... and when they are, many cannot believe the difference they make."
Electric Body will be on Stand C13 at the Anti-Ageing Health & Beauty Show - 11 & 12 May.

Salix Alba Women's & Salix Alba Maximus Men's Anti-Ageing Moisturising Cream, Day Night
Our dedicated team is based in the beautiful English Lake District, known world wide for its inspiring scenery.
We believe that we have created the best natural anti-ageing products available anywhere today.
Our pure water source is close by - a very important ingredient in our creams. This water contains the only known source in the world of naturally occurring salicin. We were inspired to create a revolutionary new anti-ageing cream. The results are amazing!
Salicin is a natural beta-hydroxy acid, which exfoliates the skin by breaking down the outer layer of dead skin cells, allowing healthy cells to rise to the surface, bringing a healthy, youthful glow to the complexion.
The water comes from the English Lake District’s Cartmel Valley aquifer, renowned for its curative powers since the 12th century. This aquifer water has filtered down through the fells, once covered by prehistoric White Willow forests, which are the source of naturally occurring salicin. Many leading skincare brands use chemically derived Salicylic Acid to help regenerate the skin's appearance, however Salix Alba is the only completely natural formulation on the market.
“We take the gift of natural Salicin from nature, and infuse the pure water with our potent, naturally active ingredients, to produce for you an anti-ageing formulation of excellence.”
Salix Alba comprises a carefully balanced combination of minerals, including skin enhancing calcium and magnesium, combined with natural anti-oxidants to fully replenish and revitalize skin.
In a world where chemically laden products are the norm, our market research shows that more consumers than ever are questioning their use of this type of product, and would prefer to purchase a natural alternative, which is superior in performance.
And so, after three years of intensive research, Salix Alba can now offer you the first ever all-natural anti-ageing day/night cream.
Salix Alba is made in the English Lake District and harnesses the potent powers of the finest quality, 100% natural, active ingredients. It contains no parabens and is unperfumed. Suitable for all skin types, neither the cream nor any of its ingredients are tested on animals. Our cream is fully compliant with strict EU regulations, which will be brought into force in July 2013.

Squeeze Away Hayfever Sneezes And Wheezes, New Tablet And Spray-Free Hayfever Treatment For Relief On The Go
Recent research shows that hay fever is not just a seasonal health problem and that the rates of allergy are increasing throughout the world, affecting around 30-40% of people at some stage in their lives. [i]
Instead of reaching for tablets and sprays, sufferers can now just squeeze away hayfever snuffles and sneezes with Aroma Dough 'Breathe' (£4.95).
A multi-sensory soft pliable dough, Aroma Dough offers symptomatic relief from hayfever and is made from high quality moisturizing agents such as cocoa butter, bees' wax, grape seed oil and calendula as well as being infused with essential oils, eucalytpus, lavender and tea-tree.
A quick squeeze releases the essential oils which are absorbed through the skin as well as being inhaled having a calming and relaxing effect as well as stopping the sneezes and wheezes.
Keep Aroma Dough 'Breathe' close to hand this hayfever season for lasting relief while on the go. Aroma Dough is available from www.loveursoul.co.uk.
It is important to also get long-term help for hayfever and other allergies as constant sneezing and wheezing can be extremely debilitating. It can be difficult to know where to start to treat an allergy but kinesiology is a particularly effective touch therapy that can also detect and correct various imbalances related to nutrition, such as food intolerances, food sensitivities, eating disorders, allergies and addictions and can restore harmony and balance in the body.[ii]
To find a local kinesiologist, log on to www.loveursoul.co.uk, a new comprehensive holistic health resource which provides information and practitioner details for all alternative therapies from acupuncture to art therapy and reflexology to reiki as well as products to beat the symptoms in the short-term.

Nature's Answer To Botox!
Organic Natralox is a sought after unique anti-wrinkle serum created with the latest technology, to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This organic serum is made in Australia, and combines the highest quality plant-derived extracts.
Active ingredients include Argireline, the natural and less expensive alternative to Botox, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and protects against the signs of ageing.
Not a surgical knife in sight!
With one in three women in the UK over the age of 30 spending millions on anti-ageing products (1), Organic Natralox Anti-Wrinkle serum helps reduce the visible signs of aging, increase skin hydration and protect against sun damage.
The all-natural formula ensures that Natralox is suitable for the most sensitive of skin, without the need for cosmetic surgery!
Organic ingredients that do actually work.
Crafted in Australia, the all-natural serum is derived from certified organic botanicals, minerals and active ingredients including Argireline®, which has been proven to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 50% within 30 days (2).
Also bursting with moisturising antioxidants including retinol, organic jojoba seed oil, avocado oil, plus green tea and ylang ylang oil, these help hydrate and maintain skin health.
Recent reports say "Organic products may have the moral high ground and huge eco-appeal for affluent buyers, but lovely as they are to use, they have no demonstrable scientific superiority to 'normal' cosmetic products." (3).
However, Organic Natralox Anti-Wrinkle cream is different! The natural skincare brand is developed with potent natural and organic ingredients that deliver proven results.
A Serum to the Stars?
Tried by celebrities wanting to maintain their youthful good looks, Organic Natralox has a growing list of fans worldwide. (4)
Now it could also be your saviour-serum, taking years off your looks and improving skin's appearance for a radiant glow all year round.

Transformulas Presents The FaceContour & Tightening Creme
Control the way your face and eyes age without going under the knife. Transformulas FaceContour goes right to the heart of the ageing problem by using potent ingredients to help lift, define and sculpt the face.
Clinical tests state 75% of users saw a reduction in under eye bags, lines and wrinkles a day after application.
Wonder ingredient Eyeseryl enables FaceContour to help lift and re-sculpt tired and slackened skin so that bone structure becomes more defined, lines smooth out and eye-bags diminish. As we age, skin loses elasticity because the cells cross link to make them weaker and less structured. But FaceContour can give visible results after just one application. Eyebags, lines and wrinkles give way to a face that radiates a more youthful, taut appearance.
Active Ingredients:
Eyeseryl: Has proven efficacy in reducing puffy eyebags in as little as 15 days
Acmella Oleracea: Relaxes muscle contractions, softening the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines
Tocopheryl Acetate with Vitamin E: Boasts anti-inflammatory and healing properties
Allantoin: A valuable cell-proliferating healing agent for healthy tissue and softer skin
Prunas Perscia: Helps prevent the skin's natural tendency to dehydrate
To Use: Using fingertips, apply a small amount to freshly cleansed skin before any daily or evening moisturiser. Gently massage into the face, jaw line and neck area with delicate upward movements. For the eye area, use the third fingertip to apply a small amount of FaceContour, sweeping across the brow bone out towards the temple and holding for 3-5 seconds before sweeping back under the eye towards the nose. Avoid treating too close to the eye rim area. Control the way your face and eyes age without going under the knife. Transformulas FaceContour goes right to the heart of the ageing problem by using potent ingredients to help lift, define and sculpt the face. Clinical tests state 75% of users saw a reduction in under eye bags, lines and wrinkles a day after application.

FaceB4, The UK's Most Effective Anti-Bacterial Face Wash And After Cleansing Soothing Serum
99%* of Independent Testers said they have noticed an improvement in the appearance of their skin since using FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam and After Cleansing Serum 97%* of Independent Testers said they were happier with the condition of their skin since using FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam and After Cleansing Serum
FaceB4, the UK's most effective anti-bacterial face wash launches exclusively at Boots Latest Finds. This new two-stage efficacious skincare regime comprises an independently clinically proven anti-bacterial face wash, which is a combined cleanser/toner with a dermatologically tested formula that kills bacteria, helping prevent spot and blemish breakouts, and a rejuvenating vitamin-enriched after-cleansing serum to soothe the skin.
FaceB4 products are fragrance-free and with their gentle formula, are suitable for all skin types - great for men and women. Containing a patented ultra biocidal complex, including Salicylic Acid, FaceB4 simply and effectively removes impurities to help reduce potential skin breakouts, blemishes and redness.
Nicola Kilner, Buying Manager for Innovation at Boots says "At Boots Latest Finds we are always on the hunt for the freshest, most effective and exciting beauty innovations for our customers. FaceB4 is a cutting-edge yet uncomplicated two-stage skincare range."
FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam: RRP £14.95
Following extensive independent tests, results show that FaceB4's daily cleansing foam is proven to be the UK's most effective anti-bacterial face wash. Expertly killing the spot-causing bacteria propionibacterium acnes, it beat, hands down, all other leading anti-bacterial face washes currently sold in the UK**. This unique 2-in-1 anti-bacterial cleanser and toner is housed in two separate pump cylinders that when combined in your hand, is a ready to apply cleansing foam that instantly gets to work at tackling blocked pores, reducing excess oil, helping to banish spots and blemishes.
Stage 1:
Use twice daily (morning and evening) for best results: pump the dual nozzles to release the cleanser and toner, which will actively combine to form foam in your hand. Massage gently onto wet skin using a circular motion, taking care to avoid the eye area. Wait for one minute then rinse thoroughly with warm water. This cleanses and tones the skin in one easy step.
FaceB4 After-Cleansing Serum: RRP £14.95
This soothing, rejuvenating after-cleansing serum contains vitamins A, B, B5 and E to help maintain spot free clear skin. Its gentle formulation is suitable for all skin types and helps to protect and moisturise the skin and prevent blemishes.
Stage 2:
After using FaceB4 daily cleansing and toning foam, complete the skin care regime by applying the serum. Pump a pea sized amount onto fingertips and massage the serum into the skin using light upward strokes until the product is fully absorbed into the skin, avoiding the delicate eye area.
This simple yet effective unique two-stage regime has been independently tested to work on all skin types. Chartered Scientist and member of the Royal Society of Chemistry Bruce Green C.Chem MRSC, helped formulate the products and says: "I have worked with many well known brands over the years, helping to research and develop product ranges and am genuinely excited by what we have managed to achieve with the FaceB4 skincare range".
"Many people are unhappy with currently available facial cleansers as, although they claim to reduce spots, they often don't work as well as expected. Face B4 is likely to be the answer. This new, exciting, clinically-proven facial care system is made up of two parts. The first step consists of an anti-bacterial face wash (combined cleanser/toner) that kills bacteria to prevent spot and blemish breakouts. The second step consists of a rejuvenating, vitamin-enriched serum to soothe the skin. It can be used on its own for mild to moderate acne, and can also be combined with prescribed oral treatments such as antibiotics, if these prove necessary."

New Smask Korean Caviar Masks Treat Skin To Salon-Standard Luxury
Film face masks are a technology developed in Korea that have been used for years as an essential beauty aide to time-pressed women.
But recently this Asian beauty trend has been taking off in the US and UK because these highly effective and efficient film technology masks give an at-home salon-standard facial at a fraction of the price and time.
Unlike traditional facemasks, Korean film masks are actual silicone masks infused with skin rejuvenating ingredients that slowly dissolve into the skin. The encapsulation of the skin under the dissolvable silicone mask means that the ingredients in the mask penetrate deeply into every crevice of skin, giving a salon-standard result.
New Smask by Skin Shop have been developed for the UK market in Korea using their long-established film mask technology.
The first Smask for the UK has been infused with caviar, which contains the ketocarotenoid astaxanthin. Caviar and certain types of marine algae are the richest sources of astaxanthin and studies show that it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots and improve skin elasticity and skin moisture content.*
Smask Caviar Film Masks give skin an instant luxurious boost that leaves skin looking immediately rejuvenated and softer while smoothing out the appearance of fine dry lines.
Smask Caviar Film Masks have been deigned for different parts of the body - the face, eyes and hands.
The silicone film masks are placed over the specific area of the body. As the masks warm from contact with the skin, they instantly begin to mould to the exact contours of the person using them before beginning to slowly dissolve, expressing their ingredients into the skin.
After just 30 minutes the Smask will have expressed all its ingredients into the skin and can be removed, leaving a salon-standard result. Any excess ingredients are massaged gently into the skin with finger tips.
The Smask Caviar Film Masks should be used on dry, clean skin in a relaxed lying position for maximum results.
Smask Caviar Film Masks come as Facemask (£19.95 for 3 x Masks), Eye Mask (£14.95 for 5 x Mask Pairs) & Hand Mask (£14.95 for 5 x Mask Pairs) and are exclusively available at: www.skinshop.co.uk or call: 0844 700 9975

New RAD Lips - Antioxidant Defence For Summer-Soft Lips
Environ® has developed new RAD Lips to help keep your lips in great shape and protect them from both ageing (UVA) and burning (UVB) rays this summer. Using RAD Lips daily also nourishes and cares for your lips, leaving them naturally soft, hydrated and supple.
The fragrance-free, antioxidant lip balm contains both UVA and SPF15 UVB filters, protecting against visible signs of premature ageing of the lips, UV damage and wind-burn whenever you are outdoors.
The RAD difference is in the focus on antioxidant ingredients which research shows help give sun protection that accumulates in the skin with repeated applications.*
RAD stands for radical defence - the colourless lip stick is and innovative vitamin-rich, lip enhancing treatment. It contains antioxidants such as lutein, vitamin E, rosemary extract and vitamin C, which help to ward off free radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Researcher Kerry Hanson, in a study into the benefits of sunscreens with added vitamins C and E said: "The best results were achieved after multiple applications of the antioxidants ... Any free radicals that are generated will be quenched by the vitamin C stored in your skin."
At the same time, shea butter and bees wax deeply hydrate and moisturise providing relief for dry, cracked and sensitive lips. Plant derived squalane soothes dry, chapped lips and may improve skin elasticity too.
Environ® RAD Lips (£9.95) and is part of the advanced skincare range which is available from skincare specialists and beauty salons nationwide. RAD Antioxidant Sunscreen (£19) is also available to use on face and body, containing protective vitamins C, E and beta-carotene.
Environ is the brand created by South African cosmetic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes, a specialist in the use of topical vitamins to address the effects of the environment on skin. For more information and for stockists, phone UK & Ireland distributor iiaa on 020 8450 2020 or visit www.iiaa.eu.

The Truth Fairy
Identify truly natural and organic cosmetics with NATRUE
Becoming pregnant and having a baby are great catalysts for change, and the point at which many women reconsider their skincare brand, and start reading on-pack information and ingredients declarations like never before! In the quest to avoid chemical nasties, it can be hard to differentiate the genuinely organic from the vast array of so-called ‘nature inspired’ products on the shelves doing their best to snuggle up to the authentic quality brands.
During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes and also increased circulation, skin often becomes drier and more sensitive. Synthetic fragrances, colourants, detergents and other artificial additives that a woman’s skin previously tolerated may now irritate. Our sense of smell also becomes heightened during pregnancy and mums often steer away from overpowering synthetic fragrances.
Mums-to-be start thinking about what their bodies are absorbing, and want to avoid artificial preservatives especially parabens which are linked to a whole list of health concerns. Once they enter our systems, our bodies cannot process them or get rid of them, so they accumulate in little pockets and we don’t really know about the long-term effects. It is still a question of debate exactly what chemicals can affect the foetus, either during development or once fully formed. However, it is now widely accepted in the scientific world that bio accumulative and persistent chemicals are more likely to be present in a foetus. For example there has been some research into the presence of phthalates in newborn and very young babies.
Many products claim to be natural but are far from it. They get away with it because the criteria for natural and organic cosmetics are not legally defined. So how do we know which products are truly natural? Mums can look out for the NATRUE logo on packs, even when they are abroad, for the reassurance that NATRUE-certified products are authentically natural or organic, and 100% genuine.
First founded in 2007, NATRUE provides an established worldwide cosmetics and skin care standard which is driven by a desire to promote integrity and transparency in the natural cosmetics marketplace. The NATRUE label was set up as an international kitemark to help consumers identify products that are genuinely organic and natural, wherever they are in the world. Just one logo - the mark of true quality and authenticity. So consumers can see at a glance whether a product is totally natural, and know that the ingredients will be top quality and free from artificial colours, fragrances and preservatives.
You can find NATRUE-certified products all over the world. There is a wealth of choice in Europe - the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, Sweden, Poland, Austria, Denmark - because the original founding companies that inspired NATRUE were European, including green beauty pioneers Weleda, Dr. Hauschka, Lavera, Logona and Primavera. There are also NATRUE-certified products from the USA (such as Dr. Bronner Magic Soaps), Australia and New Zealand (like Trilogy). To date there are nearly 2,900 NATRUE-certified products from more than 100 brands - established names as well as up-and-coming young businesses like Cornish brand Beyond Organics, the first company to be NATRUE-certified right here in Britain.
The NATRUE kitemark is not just about naturalness or organic standards, it is also an assurance for the consumer that a product or ingredient is green in other ways: free from genetically-modified ingredients, and free from paraffin oils or petroleum-derived ingredients. Issues which often begin to matter more to us when we become parents for the first time, and we start to think of the wellbeing of the planet and the legacy we are leaving our children.
Uniquely, NATRUE stands for transparency, not just for members and industry insiders, but for consumers too. Products are listed on a publicly accessible website and database which can be used as a check list.
Look out for the NATRUE logo. It is your guarantee that the products you buy for you and your baby are as natural as they can be! For more about NATRUE standards and brands, go to www.natrue.org.

B-Calm To Beat Stress And Boost Wellbeing
As many as 90% of all doctor's visits are for stress-related ailments and complaints. Stress has a huge impact on our physical and emotional well-being causing illnesses from headaches, high blood pressure and skin conditions to heart problems, diabetes, asthma, arthritis, depression, and anxiety[i][i].
B-CALM oral spray, offers a new approach to dealing with stress, with each burst delivering essential stress-busting vitamins and calming herbs to help reduce both emotional and physical stress.
Stress affects the body both physically and mentally. When we are stressed cortisol is released by the adrenal glands causing the metabolism to speed up. The adrenal glands are then stimulated to secrete epinephrine that increases the heart rate, breathing and alertness. Coping with the demands of a hectic 21st century lifestyle can cause these symptoms on a daily basis, having a long-lasting detrimental effect on our mental and physical health.
B-CALM Oral Spray contains a unique combination of Vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as well as Vitamin C and herbs, including Echinacea, Feverfew, Ginkgo, Passionflower, and Valerin. These natural ingredients help to regulate these biochemical bodily functions to reduce stress as well as the associated anxiety and depression and induce a feeling of calm and relaxation.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) helps to maintain and maximise the digestive system, skin and nerves, and B12 (cobalamin) is also needed for a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), often referred to as the "anti-stress vitamin," is critical to the manufacture of stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands[ii][ii]. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) has a positive influence on the production of the brain chemical serotonin which helps to alter mood and a persons' ability to cope with stress.
B-CALM Oral Spray also contains Vitamin C which helps to reduce the effects of chronic stress by inhibiting the release of stress hormones, boosting the immune system.
With its unique combination of ingredients, B-CALM Oral Spray is designed to support your body in dealing with stress on all levels, including physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Each lightweight tube 240 sprays providing accuracy and consistency of dosage in every burst and each tube provides at least a months' supply.
B-Calm (£16.00) is available in the UK from www.loveursoul.co.uk, a holistic health and well-being site, dedicated to providing information, products and tools to keep families fit and well in body and mind.

This delicately fragrant cream combines key plant actives with nourishing plant oils - organic Macadamia, Rosehip seed and Sunflower - plus soothing Rose hydrolat from organic damask roses, replenishing Shea butter and vitamin-rich Wheatgerm oil. Dot the cream over face and neck after cleansing, and gently massage in. This light cream can absorb quickly, but do not be tempted to use too much.
Age Defying Night Cream - 91% organic - rrp £68.00 40ml or £35.00 20ml
This potent skin cream has a multi age-defying action due to its natural actives: Lupin peptides, Alpine rose and Oat beta-glucan. These get to work during the skin's nightly repair phase, to promote the production of pro-collagen, encourage skin renewal, reduce wrinkles and decrease hyper-pigmentation. Nourishing Macadamia nut oil, Rosehip seed oil and Wheatgerm oil are supplemented with the addition of Safflower oil, Shea butter and Beeswax to make a richer, replenishing cream for night time. Soothing Rose hydrolat contributes a wonderfully relaxing fragrance together with other calming essential oils including Vetiver, like a natural lullaby. This cream can be used on its own, or layered over the Ultra Radiance Serum.
Age Defying Serum - 98% organic - rrp £65.00 20ml
This beautiful amber-coloured serum is packed with botanical actives and smells equally divine thanks to the Rose hydrolat and exquisite essential oil mix. Its gel consistency is made from organic vegetable glycerine, Sweet Almond and Orange fruit water. Nourishing Macadamia nut oil and Safflower oil are combined with other fine organic plant oils: Avocado, Apricot, Gold of Pleasure and Rosehip seed. The serum helps promote cell renewal and improves the skin's visco-elasticity. The serum is highly concentrated so only a little is needed. Dot over face including around eye area then massage in gently with finger tips, using small circular movements. Can be used alone to give skin a treat, or layered under Ultra Radiance Night Cream to boost skin condition.
Age Defying Cleanser - 96% organic - rrp £60.00 40ml
A cutting edge cleanser using gel-to-milk technology so it washes off with water without containing any harsh surfactants. Formulated with anti-ageing Lupin peptides and Vitamin E, it contains moisturising plant oils including organic Sesame, Gold of Pleasure and Sweet Almond to cleanse without drying. The gel is infused with refreshing Burdock, Yarrow, Comfrey and Orange fruit water. It can be used for removing eye make up, and leaves skin really clean and toned. Squeeze a pump full onto your fingertips, then massage into face, around eyes and neck, using the soft pads of your finger tips. Shower or rinse off, or use a damp muslin cloth to remove. For a quick fix, apply with a wet cotton wool pad and gently wipe away the day's grime.
The range is naturally fragranced with a skillful mix of pure essential oils, including the sweet floral of Rosa Damascena as a top note, anchored by some mellow base notes - notably Vetiver which is known as the 'oil of tranquility'. Vetiver has a relaxing and earthy aroma, which is very grounding. Vetiver is calming, and traditionally used in aromatherapy to relieve insomnia and anxiety.
The range is packaged in ecological (fully recyclable) airless pumps and recyclable glass jars. The outer cartons are recycled/recylable and carry the FSC logo. The new Ultra Radiance line is available from selected retailers and the online store www.beyondorganicskincare.com or call 0845 500 3550 for mail order.

AgeLOC Galvanic Body Trio
First came the convenient handheld instrument for the face, now it is time for the body!
ageLOC® Galvanic Body Trio is the kit you need when you really want to fight those cellulites. Forget the earlier Spa treatments with huge electrical apparatus. Now all you need to tackle those limps on thighs, buttocks and abdomen is an instrument not bigger than a hand.
"There are no lotions that really fight cellulites!" Often said by doubtful consumers who have been trying out various solutions and been disappointed. Well, that is correct. It sure takes more than a lotion to treat something that goes deeper than skin surface. ageLOC® Galvanic Body Trio uses pulsating currents to stimulate circulation and send the active ingredients into the skin. ageLOC® Body Shaping Gel is the product to be used in conjunction with the instrument. It contains ingredients to help maintain skin's robust structure, reinforcing structural proteins relevant to healthy looking skin. The gel also helps refresh, purify and reenergise. The instrument with the gel is to be used three times a week.
The third product in this kit, ageLOC® Dermatic Effects, can be used morning and night to increase cellular turnover necessary for renewing the skin. It also contains technology to diffuse light instantly to help skin look smoother and improve the appearance of the skin's surface. It provides daily hydration while helping extend the benefits of ageLOC® Body Shaping Gel (ageLOC® Dermatic Effects is not suitable for use with galvanic currents).
So what is this galvanic treatment? How does it work?
Cosmetic galvanic treatments use the basic principles that like charges repel each other and opposites attract - similar to magnetic poles. Simple product formulations can contain key ingredients, which carry a positive or negative charge. A galvanic instrument can also be set to have the same charge as the product. The repelling of like charges "pushes" the product into the skin, facilitating the delivery of key ingredients.
Nu Skin® is leading the anti-ageing business with its comprehensive ageLOC® technology and so far ageLOC® products has been the companies' most successful launch up to date. ageLOC® Galvanic Body Trio target the ageing at the source. Give it a few minutes a day and see for yourself.

Emergency Cold Snap Skin Rescue Remedy
The sudden cold snap hitting the UK is a red alert for dry skin sufferers!
Low humidity & dry cold winds outside + central heating inside = flaking & itching
Defensil Rescue Serum has been shown in trials carried out in the mountains of Switzerland to reduce extreme dryness, itching & flaking.
Defensil Rescue Serum combines two key natural ingredients a concentrated extract from Cardiospermum seed and cold pressed Echium Oil, which have been shown in combination in trials to stabilise and regenerate the skin barrier and act effectively against itching caused by dry, chapped or flaking skin and eczema.
Two independent clinical trials have been carried out on Defensil in Switzerland against standard strength hydrocortisone creams. Defensil compared favourably against 0.1% hydrocortisone creams (which is the standard strength treatment offered to most dry skin and eczema sufferers) at both reducing dryness and redness. Efficacy trials found that Defensil decreased skin sensitivity by almost 50% and skin dryness by 35% just 15 minutes after application.
The anti-drying effects of Defensil are due to the presence of natural steroids called phytosteroles in an isolated form of concentrated Cadriospermum seed extract called Beta-Sitosterol, which has been found in trials to help reduce the irritation caused by very dry skin.
A UK consumer trial overseen by a UK doctor on Defensil on 25 testers indicated that Defensil reduced dryness and skin sensitivity better or as well as prescribed treatments, while being nicer to use and less worrying in terms of negative side effects attributed to regular use of medicated creams containing steroids.
Defensil Rescue Serum should be used twice daily on very dry or chapped patches of skin during cold weather as an intense skin barrier protection treatment to help prevent further drying, flaking and irritation.
Defensil costs £9.95 for 75ml and is available from www.skinshop.co.uk or call: 0844 700 9975

Embark On A 7 Day Cosmetic Journey And Make Light Work For Your Skin
Looking to wipe the 'slate' clean? Considering cosmetic surgery? Gatineau's dynamic duo can bridge the gap between cosmetic ingredients and medical ingredients and offer visible results in just 7 days! Introducing 2 new and highly innovative booster serums - Renew 7 Laser 'a resurfacing serum' and Renew 7 Detox an 'intense detoxifying serum'.
FACT:
As we grow older, the underlying tissues of the skin break down and certain areas of the face become prone to deep wrinkles. The skin becomes dull, as it is less able to protect itself from free radicals, and the surface looks uneven. Yet, the smoothness and radiance of your face are precisely what give it a youthful look. In fact cosmetic surgeons confirm that, in general, recovering a youthful appearance first involves filling out the wrinkles and resurfacing the skin. Face-lifts are considered only afterwards.
Renew 7 Laser
Gatineau understands the needs of modern woman and their desire to regain a youthful complexion, restore radiance and smooth out wrinkles without recourse to face-freezing injections or fake fillers. Laser therapy in general has become increasingly popular for its benefits to lines, wrinkles and pigmentation marks, - and now Gatineau have created a form of laser-therapy-in-a-bottle which exerts a powerful smoothing and resurfacing action in just 7 days.
The 'Resurfacing' Recipe
Skin Destress a 100% vegetal seaweed extract (Matricaria Maritima) is very rich in trace elements and vitamins. It acts on the neuro-mediators which are receptors involved in muscle contraction and inhibits these receptors to reduce the fibre contractions which can cause expression lines.
Cell Renew (Laminaria Brown Seaweed extract), stimulates skin renewal at the epidermal stem cell level, increasing cell production and turnover. These new cells nestle into the crease of the wrinkle filling them in quickly.
Sesame extract acts like an invisible veil offering a tightening effect on the surface of the skin
Hyaluronic Acid spheres - These hydrating droplets immediately infuse moisture to plump the skin from within
Results: The result is a smoother, softer, fresher, noticeably more glowing complexion with lines and wrinkles that are reduced in both depth and number.
In vitro tests show a muscle relaxing effect of:
After 5 minutes (-44%)
After 2 hours (-72%)
After 24 hours (-73%)
Renew 7 Laser is suitable for all skins from the age of about 40 years to improve texture and prevent deterioration, smooth crepiness, brighten dullness, improve tone and reduce lines and wrinkles.
How to use: Apply morning and evening to a perfectly cleansed skin and follow with your usual daily moisturiser. Use for 7 days and repeat the course 3 - 4 times a year.
RRP: £49.50
Renew 7 Detox
With a surface area of between 16 and 22 feet the skin is more than just a protective barrier. Sometimes our skin can be exposed to over 5000 free radicals in one day. Free radicals not only destroy the skin's mattress support but they also damage cell DNA and can cause a build up of toxins and bacteria within the cell. On this basis Gatineau has developed Renew 7 Detox - a sophisticated 'cure' to detoxify the skin cells and provide the skin with a fresh and luminous complexion
The 'Detox' recipe
Detoxine - derived from yeast extract boosts a natural element in the skin called Lysosomes. Lysosomes are membranous sacs of enzymes which act like an eco-friendly waste disposal unit and digest harmful toxins found in the cells.
Light Reflector Pigments - Helps to promote luminosity on the skin surface
Keratoline + AHA's derived from apples - Over a period of 7 days provides a gentle surface micro-peeling effect, lifting off dead surface cells and reducing minor skin imperfections and flaws
Vitamin C - Provides a powerful anti-oxidant action protecting the skin from free radicals
Spelt wheat Peptide - Providing an exceptional anti-oxidizing action for a brighter skin tone
Lupin peptide - Boosts the micro-circulation for a natural healthy glow
Results: the skin is given a 'breath of fresh air' and the signs of fatigue are erased away. The complexion appears radiant and the skin texture smooth and refined.
How to use: Apply morning and evening to a perfectly cleansed skin and follow with your usual daily moisturiser. Use for 7 days and repeat the course 3 - 4 times a year.
RRP: £49.50
Available from selected beauty salons nationwide, by mail order or via the website at www.thebeautyroom.co.uk

Forlle'd Luxury Anti-Ageing Skincare
Forlle'd is high-technology professional cosmeceuticals brand leading in anti-ageing and skin restructuring. The brand is a pioneer in developing and producing low molecular substances which are able to regenerate skin from within.
Low molecular Hyaluronic Acid
Skin cells natural repair ability is directly dependent on Hyaluronic acid level, which declines with age. This causes skin irritation and susceptibility to irritants and allergens. Therefore it is so important for anti-ageing products to contain Hyaluronic acid.
All Forlle'd products are based on patented Low molecular Hyaluronic Acid, which size is so small that it is able to penetrate deep into derma level of the skin. Such deep noninvasive penetration of Hyaluronic Acid into skin boosts cell interaction and synthesis. Forlle'd globally patented molecules of Hyaluronic Acid are only 5 nm weight that is 600 - 4000 times smaller than weight of ordinary molecule, and so they are able to penetrate deep into skin layers and therefore rehydrate and regenerate skin from within.
Low molecular Platinum:
Forlle'd latest discoveries in reducing the size of Platinum and avoiding the formation of colloidal substance in an aqueous solution, have made it possible to develop biologically compatible and highly efficient products with outstanding antioxidant properties. Ionized platinum is the core ingredient of the entire platinum series, can resist all forms of active oxygen, and therefore prevent photo-ageing and postpone chronological skin ageing.
Low molecular Ceramides:
Ceramides are the natural found elements in skin's stratum corneum, responsible for lipid barrier maintenance and skin protection. Patented by Forlle'd original technology of ceramide production ensures their maximum authenticity with human ceramides. Technology of soya beans fermentation makes ceramides biologically compatible to human skin cells and therefore helps skin to retain moisture and restores its barrier function.
Special formulas of Forlle'd products provide outstanding results due to unique combination of low molecular components. Forlle'd is made in Japanese pharmaceutical factories using state-of-the-art technology to ensure the highest levels of safety.
Globally patented manufacturing process of low molecular substances, clinically proven product efficiency, proven penetration of Hyaluronic Acid into skin derma, own scientific laboratory and manufacturing facilities, own patents make brand Forlle'd a star among thousands of other professional anti-ageing skincare.

Beverley Hills Beauty Secret Arrives At Beyond Medispa At Harvey Nichols, London
Sheep placenta skincare innovation set to be the next major trend in
non-surgical anti-aging
Its devotees in Los Angeles are said to include Simon Cowell, Denise Richardson and Kim Kardashian, and now those living in London can enjoy the O-Placenta ™ stem cell-based skincare range to the UK for the first time, exclusively available from Beyond MediSpa at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge.
The only products in the UK to incorporate stem cells harvested from mammal (specifically New Zealand sheep) placenta, the Stem Cell Beauty Innovations (SCBI) range is widely used by dermatologists and cosmetic doctors in the USA, including Beverley Hills-based dermatologist to the stars, Dr Harold Lancer.
The SCBI products are at the cutting edge of science and aesthetics and have been shown to encourage the increased production of collagen, glycoproteins and elastic fibres to re-energise the skin and reduce the signs of aging. Therapists at Beyond MediSpa have incorporated products in the range into a special 75 minute facial treatment (£185 per treatment or £925 for a series of six treatments), tailored to each client.
The treatment includes exfoliation (with an option of light peel or microdermabrasion according to clients' needs) and red LED light therapy, which helps the stem cells penetrate into the skin to the regenerating effects.
"Stem cells are extremely hot news at the moment, with medical experts and cosmetologists exploring the many uses for these amazing cells, from giving hope to patients suffering from paralysis to those looking to harness the unique qualities of stem cells to turn back the signs of aging," comments Dr Preema Vig, medical director of Beyond MediSpa at Harvey Nichols. "Clinical tests have shown the effectiveness of O-Placenta, which is the key active ingredient in the serum, against common conditions such as rosacea and acne - both preventing and curing - and dermatologists report patients' skin being better hydrated and smoother after regular use of the product."
At the heart of the five-strong range is the Stem Cell Daily Gold Serum (15ml, RRP £129), a highly concentrated serum which incorporates stem cells and 24 carat gold. Designed to be left on the skin, users can apply makeup or sunscreen over the top. The gold particles both add a glow to the skin, and are thought to help the stem cell extract penetrate into the dermis.
The other products are a Stem Cell Moisturiser (30g, RRP £95) and a Stem Cell Eye Firming Cream (15g, RRP £95), as well as a daily cleanser (50g, RRP £65) and an exfoliant (50g, RRP £65), both made with volcanic ash, designed to prepare the skin for the O-Placenta™-based products.
"Over the next 12 months, the beauty market is likely to be flooded with products claiming to harness the power of stem cells, and indeed, you can already buy products made with apple stem cells, but SCBI's research in the USA shows that these are far less effective at penetrating and stimulating cell renewal in humans than those taken from mammals," explains Jo Morris, director of Beyond Medispa.
O-Placenta is the most nutrient rich and potent form of ovine placenta extract, sharing many similar properties with the embryonic stem cells which are being used for nerve regeneration in paralysis victims. These are ethically harvested from sheep, post birth, so there is absolutely no harm to the animals, and the extract then undergoes a purification process to produce O-Placenta™.
For more information on the Placenta Facial by SCBI at Beyond MediSpa, please call 020 7201 8595 or visit www.beyondmedispa.co.uk. For more details on the SCBI range, or to find other stockists outside London, please visit www.stemcellbi.co.uk or call 01423 567822.

conditions lips becoming even dryer. Beeswax protects the lips as it is water repellent which prevents this action occurring moisture. Beeswax also contains vitamin A which is key for cell development and therefore can assist in repairing damaged lips.
Like beeswax, Manuka honey is also very nutrient rich and anti-bacterial benefits. In addition Queen of the hive natural lip care also contains shea butter, olive oil, cocoa butter and rosemary essential oils which further nourish the lips.

5 Top Tips To Beat Insomnia
The study of over 1,000 men, carried out by Finnish researcher and study author Jouni Karppi*, revealed those with higher blood levels of lycopene were 55% percent less likely to suffer a stroke than men with the lowest amounts.
Men wanting to take serious steps to look after their heart health should not rely on eating tomatoes alone. Tomatoes do have many health benefits but lycopene, which is found in their skin is not easily used and processed by the body in its natural food form.
Ateronon, also known as 'the tomato pill' is the ideal solution. The one-a-day supplement contains 7mg of lycopene, the optimum amount identified for daily consumption and is the most bioavaible (easily absorbed) form of lycopene on the market.
Dr Alf Lindberg, former Chair of the Medical Board of the Nobel Prize Foundation and Scientific Director of CamNutra Ltd, makers of Ateronon, said: "We've long been aware of the benefits of tomatoes but simply eating them alone in natural food form is not enough, for those people who are serious about the prevention of heart problems.
"Ateronon is a great solution because each capsule contains the equivalent of one kilogram of Mediterranean tomatoes cooked in olive oil and can be taken alongside existing medication."
Ateronon's latest research revealed that lycopene boosts the elasticity and efficiency of blood vessels, reducing the hardening of the arteries, which occurs with age and improves blood flow.
The research team from Cambridge University found that taking Ateronon, a newly developed version of lycopene, improves absorption into the blood to levels way above those naturally achieved by a diet alone.
The scientists used Ateronon for the research and it was shown to improve flexibility of blood vessels by up to 50%.
Ateronon is available to buy online from www.ateronon.com and is priced at £29.99 for one box of 30 capsules. It is also available to buy in Boots stores and independent pharmacies across the UK. Ateronon is also on Twitter at www.twitter.com/Ateronon and Facebook www.facebook.com/pages/Ateronon for news updates and special offers.

Is Clutter Clogging Up More Than Your Closet?
Many cultures follow ancient traditions of spring-cleaning at the change of the seasons. It is arguably the best time of the year to have a thorough clear out and let go of anything in your life no longer serving you.
Clearing has the power to transform your life, because clutter in your external environment is the physical manifestation of all the clutter clogging up your internal world. And why go to the effort to have a spring clean? Because it will have a far-reaching positive effect on every area of your life, ushering in more fulfillment, happiness, health and abundance.
As our society continues to support excessive production of short-lived, disposable items we are making more purchases and accumulating more clutter in our lives than ever before. It is not just our closets that are jam-packed. Overwhelm triggered by multi-media exposure and compulsive multi-tasking at work and home overload our minds. Fast-food, pollution and products clog up our bodies, resulting in illness and fatigue. Calendars bursting with our busy-ness burden our relationships and sense of personal space.
With so much stuff filling every area of our lives it can be quite a challenge knowing how or where to begin clearing. Often the easiest place to start is with the physical. Because our internal and external worlds are intrinsically linked, clearing clutter on the external has a direct effect on the internal and visa versa. By letting go of objects that no longer bring you joy, have a purpose, or serve you – you create internal and external space. This creates a ripple effect across your entire life.
Every item you have in your possession is attached to you energetically. You are quite literally connected to every object in your home, office, garage, loft, and in storage by tiny energetic cords. The things that are useful to you, that add value to your life and serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy, which replenishes and enriches your life. But the things you hold on to that you don’t really like, don’t ever use and don’t need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy. Things that no longer fit or serve you, drain your energy. If you often feel overwhelmed, tired and drained this is because lots of your energy is being depleted by things that you no longer need. By releasing these items from your life and letting them go, you cut the energetic cords binding you to them and actually gain energy. Imagine how much energy you could gain by clearing all the clutter from your physical environment!
Sian Hill, a Senior Account Manager, recently moved house and found this the perfect opportunity to de-clutter. “I donated a lot of my possessions to charity and even organised a car boot sale,” Sian says. “Freeing myself from my old clutter and an environment that wasn’t serving me anymore has given me a whole new lease of life and has freed up finances to fund the courses I had been looking in to.” Sian has a new motto these days. If something doesn’t feel right she de-clutters without delay or feelings of guilt. “This leaves space for positive, happy things that energise me at all times,” she claims.
Many people hold on to unwanted things because they fear that if they throw something out they might later discover that they needed it. For many, this fear has been embedded in family psyche since wartime rationing when food, clothes and goods were not readily available. People held on to their belongings for as long as possible, which is when the ‘make do and mend’ ethos emerged. People sought security in their possessions. After the war they gradually regained purchasing power and bought with abandon whilst still holding on dearly to what they no longer needed, wanted or loved. When clearing clutter, deeply held fears often bubble to the surface. This is a natural part of the process of letting go, because you are when clearing you are not just releasing your things, but also the underlying beliefs that have kept you hoarding.
Hoarding also strains our purses - not just in the amount spent on items we don’t actually need, but also in their storage. The continual purchasing of items can take over entire rooms or areas of houses. Chantal Cooke, co-founder of Passion for the Planet, had a whole garage full of old things she no longer needed. Following a huge clear out she has since converted the garage into a beautiful office space which overlooks her garden. “I donated many items to charities and locals schools, sold some on eBay and gave some away through freecycle,” Chantal recalls. “Clearing the garage acted as a catalyst for me to sort through things I’d accumulated in my loft too.” After de-cluttering many people find renewed enthusiasm to make the most of their space and change the arrangement of their furniture and things around, which reenergizes the space and their emotional wellbeing.
The rewards of clutter clearing are phenomenal. Letting go of the physical things in your life that you no longer need, love or have a use for enables you to create more space for you to enjoy the items that you truly love and cherish. It helps you to experience greater joy from spending time in your living or working environment. Clearing also creates space at an energetic level for new things to come into all other areas of your life, be it new items, relationships, career advancement projects, money, love, travel, creative ideas or self-development opportunities.
As you begin your clearing process first put aside all the things you instantly feel drawn to that you defiantly want to keep. These are your treasures. The things you use regularly or love to have in your home or workplace. You are likely to find some hidden treasures here, which have perhaps been long buried by the clutter! Whenever you come across an item that you are unsure about hold it in your hands and tune in to your inner guidance. Notice whether you sense your energy expand or contract as you hold it. If you feel a sense of warmth in your heart, excitement in your stomach or fond warmth across your body then you know the item is a treasure. If you don’t feel anything at all – check in with whether the item serves any practical purpose in your life. If yes, keep it. If no, let it go. If you feel anxious, nervous, resentful or a tightening, heavy or restrictive sensation when holding an item then that’s a sure sign it energetically drains you.
There can be a temptation after sorting through your clutter, to store boxes of stuff up in the loft or out in the shed or garage. The complete benefits of clearing clutter cannot be experienced until you have totally let go of your stuff, that means sending it on to its next destination, whether that’s a new home or the recycling bin. When you have finished clearing your selected area trust your instincts on what to trash and trash fast! Items can only be released from draining your energy once they have left your possession and are no longer your responsibility. So, take action quickly. The sooner you let go the sooner you’ll be truly free of your clutter inside and out and feel the benefits energetically of having created space for yourself.
For Tammy Gray, the process of de-cluttering her personal space had a huge impact. “This process of change has helped me in so many areas of my life,”she enthuses.“From appreciating my friends and family more to re-visiting my own personal understanding of spirituality and in general, being kinder to myself and those around me.”
You will definitely feel a sense of energetic lightness when you let go of things that have been draining you. With this may come the temptation to fill the newly created space back up with things you don’t need. Don't succumb! Trust your Space! Breathe into it. Honour it. Cherish it. It is space for you to truly treasure the beautiful things you have and space for you to be you. From this space you can enjoy replenished energy, increased creativity and the room for new, better, brighter and often unexpected positive things to flow into your life. After you’ve had a good old clear out continue to trust that just as easily as new things flow into your life, it is safe for you to continue letting things go.

As you begin your clearing process first put aside all the things you instantly feel drawn to that you defiantly want to keep. These are your treasures. The things you use regularly or love to have in your home or workplace. You are likely to find some hidden treasures here, which have perhaps been long buried by the clutter! Whenever you come across an item that you are unsure about hold it in your hands and tune in to your inner guidance. Notice whether you sense your energy expand or contract as you hold it. If you feel a sense of warmth in your heart, excitement in your stomach or fond warmth across your body then you know the item is a treasure. If you don’t feel anything at all – check in with whether the item serves any practical purpose in your life. If yes, keep it. If no, let it go. If you feel anxious, nervous, resentful or a tightening, heavy or restrictive sensation when holding an item then that’s a sure sign it energetically drains you.
There can be a temptation after sorting through your clutter, to store boxes of stuff up in the loft or out in the shed or garage. The complete benefits of clearing clutter cannot be experienced until you have totally let go of your stuff, that means sending it on to its next destination, whether that’s a new home or the recycling bin. When you have finished clearing your selected area trust your instincts on what to trash and trash fast! Items can only be released from draining your energy once they have left your possession and are no longer your responsibility. So, take action quickly. The sooner you let go the sooner you’ll be truly free of your clutter inside and out and feel the benefits energetically of having created space for yourself.
For Tammy Gray, the process of de-cluttering her personal space had a huge impact. “This process of change has helped me in so many areas of my life,”she enthuses.“From appreciating my friends and family more to re-visiting my own personal understanding of spirituality and in general, being kinder to myself and those around me.”
You will definitely feel a sense of energetic lightness when you let go of things that have been draining you. With this may come the temptation to fill the newly created space back up with things you don’t need. Don't succumb! Trust your Space! Breathe into it. Honour it. Cherish it. It is space for you to truly treasure the beautiful things you have and space for you to be you. From this space you can enjoy replenished energy, increased creativity and the room for new, better, brighter and often unexpected positive things to flow into your life. After you’ve had a good old clear out continue to trust that just as easily as new things flow into your life, it is safe for you to continue letting things go.
Jayne Morris, Author of Burnout to Brilliance www.jaynemorris.com has helped thousands of people around the world to clear clutter from all areas of their lives.
Follow Jayne’s 5 Top Clutter Clearing Tips:

Sheep Placenta Skincare Innovation Set To Be The Next Major Trend In Non-Surgical Anti-Aging
BEVERLEY HILLS BEAUTY SECRET ARRIVES AT
BEYOND MEDISPA AT HARVEY NICHOLS, LONDON
Sheep placenta skincare innovation set to be the next major trend in
non-surgical anti-aging
Its devotees in Los Angeles are said to include Simon Cowell, Denise Richardson and Kim Kardashian, and now those living in London can enjoy the O-Placenta ™ stem cell-based skincare range to the UK for the first time, exclusively available from Beyond MediSpa at Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge.
The only products in the UK to incorporate stem cells harvested from mammal (specifically New Zealand sheep) placenta, the Stem Cell Beauty Innovations (SCBI) range is widely used by dermatologists and cosmetic doctors in the USA, including Beverley Hills-based dermatologist to the stars, Dr Harold Lancer.
The SCBI products are at the cutting edge of science and aesthetics and have been shown to encourage the increased production of collagen, glycoproteins and elastic fibres to re-energise the skin and reduce the signs of aging. Therapists at Beyond MediSpa have incorporated products in the range into a special 75 minute facial treatment (£185 per treatment or £925 for a series of six treatments), tailored to each client. The treatment includes exfoliation (with an option of light peel or microdermabrasion according to clients' needs) and red LED light therapy, which helps the stem cells penetrate into the skin to the regenerating effects.
"Stem cells are extremely hot news at the moment, with medical experts and cosmetologists exploring the many uses for these amazing cells, from giving hope to patients suffering from paralysis to those looking to harness the unique qualities of stem cells to turn back the signs of aging," comments Dr Preema Vig, medical director of Beyond MediSpa at Harvey Nichols. "Clinical tests have shown the effectiveness of O-Placenta, which is the key active ingredient in the serum, against common conditions such as rosacea and acne - both preventing and curing - and dermatologists report patients' skin being better hydrated and smoother after regular use of the product."
At the heart of the five-strong range is the Stem Cell Daily Gold Serum (15ml, RRP £129), a highly concentrated serum which incorporates stem cells and 24 carat gold. Designed to be left on the skin, users can apply makeup or sunscreen over the top. The gold particles both add a glow to the skin, and are thought to help the stem cell extract penetrate into the dermis.
The other products are a Stem Cell Moisturiser (30g, RRP £95) and a Stem Cell Eye Firming Cream (15g, RRP £95), as well as a daily cleanser (50g, RRP £65) and an exfoliant (50g, RRP £65), both made with volcanic ash, designed to prepare the skin for the O-Placenta™-based products.
"Over the next 12 months, the beauty market is likely to be flooded with products claiming to harness the power of stem cells, and indeed, you can already buy products made with apple stem cells, but SCBI's research in the USA shows that these are far less effective at penetrating and stimulating cell renewal in humans than those taken from mammals," explains Jo Morris, director of Beyond Medispa.
O-Placenta is the most nutrient rich and potent form of ovine placenta extract, sharing many similar properties with the embryonic stem cells which are being used for nerve regeneration in paralysis victims. These are ethically harvested from sheep, post birth, so there is absolutely no harm to the animals, and the extract then undergoes a purification process to produce O-Placenta™.
For more information on the Placenta Facial by SCBI at Beyond MediSpa, please call 020 7201 8595 or visit www.beyondmedispa.co.uk. For more details on the SCBI range, or to find other stockists outside London, please visit www.stemcellbi.co.uk or call 01423 567822.

Pomegranate Organics Asks - Do Women Want More From Their Moisturiser Than Just Moisturising?
Is there a trend that women are looking for a bit more from their skincare products – perhaps something a little more holistic than just moisturising from their moisturiser?
Natural and organic skincare brand Pomegranate Organics thinks so and the use of Frangipani Absolute as an ingredient throughout the range is proving to be a big hit with customers. And not just because of the divine smell but for the uplifting qualities it brings to the skincare.
“It was a very positive choice, says Pomegranate Organics founder Chris Sams Rafferty. “We though how great it would be to have an ingredient that brought more than just a lovely fragrance and after several months of testing we selected Frangipani for it’s natural uplifting effect.
“We see it all the time with customers – there’s the automatic raising of the hand to the nose as soon as they test the product, then they continue to smell and smell again – enjoying the uplifting effect as well as the fragrance, she explains. “Hardworking beauty products will always be popular and skincare that also brings the feel-good-factor has to be a positive move,” she adds.
Frangipani Absolute is used throughout Pomegranate Organics skincare range. The capsule range consists of, Cleanse Naturally(£18), Moisture Plus (£22), Active Night Plus (£27 & £12) and Body Rehab (£25).
Other ingredients used in the range include Organic Rosehip seed oil, Organic Borage seed oil, Organic Camellia seed oil, Kukui Nut oil and of course Organic Pomegranate seed oil.

Beat The Botox Backlash With Natox The Natural Alternative To Botox- That Works!
Botox parties could soon be a thing of the past as the Royal College of Surgeons expressed their concern over practitioners giving out wrinkle-relaxing injections at home this week. But now you can wipe out fine lines and wrinkles and have younger, fresher looking skin without the needle using Natox, the first ever clinically proven to work, 100% organic alternative to Botox.
Distributed by leading skin care experts Richibrown, Natox is formulated with a high potency combination of natural ingredients, including skin smoothing and skin buffing sunflower oil and salicylic acid. It works to restrict muscle movement by delivering tiny electromagnetically charged particles that relax nerve endings, inhibiting the production of acetylcholine, acting just like Botox to freeze lines and wrinkles and with regular use - for good!
Use Natox every day and you'll not only help improve collagen production, speeding up the generation of skin cells but you'll be increasing the hydration and elasticity of your skin giving it an all new freshness. The result? Younger looking skin for ever, naturally.
Clinically proven to work, studies over six years showed testers using Natox revealed a reduction in facial creases, vertical frown lines and wrinkles in just three weeks. Better still Natox prevents new lines and wrinkles forming and unlike conventional injectables there are no side effects and far less chance of problems using the product as it is formulated using all natural organic ingredients.
Richibrown also offer a 60 money back guarantee if you are not happy with the results of Natox.
Natox cream costs £89.99, available at www.natox.com

Ancienne Ambiance Introduces Luxurious New Goddess Soaps
London brand Ancienne Ambiance is known for its sublime candles with rare fragrances inspired by ancient times, but swiftly getting noticed for its divine natural bath & body products too, which now sees the introduction of their new luxurious Goddess Soaps.
Long lasting and delicately scented with natural, high-quality fragrance blends, exclusive to their body ranges, these delicious soaps are free from parabens, synthetic ingredients or harmful chemicals.
Each 100g bar of soap is enriched with Shea Butter, providing extra vitamins to moisturise the skin. Shea Butter also increases the soap quality - making them softer and super luxurious on the hands and body.
Inspired by ancient pampering, the collection includes blends that have great lineage through ancient history: Rose, Lavender, Jasmine, Honey, Almond Milk and Argan (containing their best-selling Goddess Argan Oil).
Made the old-fashioned way, following traditional techniques from Marseille in France and slow-cooked in a cauldron-esque vessel, each soap is made from a 100% natural vegetable oil base using coconut oil, which contains natural glycerine.
Individually wrapped in signature purple packaging and presented in a three bar gift set or individually, they are ideal for everyday use (even as a facial cleanser- especially the anti-aging Goddess Argan Oil Soap) or as guest soaps for the home.
These items are natural, do not contain any animal fat and have not been tested on animals.
Gift sets of three 100g bars priced from £14 and available directly from: http://www.ancienneambiance.com/collections.Goddess_Soap_Sets

A New Nail Polish That Turns Nail Colour Into Nail Art
China Glaze Tranzitions Nail Lacquer with Hardeners is a new concept in nail polish: it starts out one color, but reacts when a clear topcoat is applied, changing to a second shade so that consumers can "create an entirely new look with just one swipe." New in the US, this product is the innovation of the week from Datamonitor's Product Launch Analytics.
Nail polish users that like to experiment with different nail polish colors and styles are in luck with new China Glaze Tranzitions Nail Lacquer with Hardeners because it changes color when a top coat is added to it. Tranzitions can also be worn without a top coat, as the lacquer contains China Clay - the material that gives porcelain a shiny finish - as a nail hardener. However, when a top coat is added, the nail polish color changes to a darker shade (both possible shades are indicated on the neck of each bottle).
Creative consumers can apply a top coat to change the color of the whole nail or just parts of it, for example in a polka dot design. China Glaze Tranzitions comes in a large range of shades, from Split Perso-Nail-ity and Duplicityy to Altered Reality and Metallic Metamorphosis.
Tom Vierhile, innovation insights director for Datamonitor, said: "Consumer electronics concepts like 'augmented reality' are training consumers to experiment and expect more play value in the products they choose. China Glaze Tranzitions delivers on this concept with a product that can turn even the least artistically inclined consumer into a cosmetic artist."

I Love Your Face, I Love Your Body But Most Of All I Love Your Smell!
Love Your Smell roll-on perfume oil, is the latest product from the Australian Cult brand Black Chicken Remedies. Based on the brands signature blend of its Love Your Body Oil, this perfume oil contains a blend of the oils of Sandalwood , Geranium Bourbon, Patchouli, Lavender, Carrot , Ylang Ylang ,and Nutmeg. " One study showed many well known perfumes can contain up 250 synthetic chemicals, that are toxic. Why pay big bucks to risk your health when there is a cheaper, healthier alternative made from plant extracts cultivated by nature not in a test tube" Says Chey Birch creator of Black Chicken Remedies.
"Our scent is elastic responding to a persons body temperature. Standard alcohol perfumes are synthetic, they have been over manipulated so any trace of natural ingredients isn't recognised by the body and they have lost their ability to communicate with the body."
Aromatherapy absorbs thru the olfactory system and into the body so this combination of essential oils communicate with your brain enhancing your wellbeing, and in the case of Ylang Ylang, this key oil which has been known to significantly enhance your love life!
It retails at RRP £21.50 and comes in a handy velvet bag to carry for all day freshen ups.

Auricular Acupressure Home Device For Weight Loss!
Acupressure has long been used by thousands of people as an effective aide to tackling health issues including weight loss.
But now, instead of having to regularly visit a therapist to help you lose weight, you can take advantage of the benefits of acupressure yourself, 24-hours a day by using an ingenious new clinically tested* acupressure device that attaches discretely to your ear.
SlenderBeads were developed by two medical doctors, a neurologist* and a physical medicine specialist* and combine ancient eastern medicines with modern neurological principles to suppress your appetite without drugs by applying pressure to specific acupressure points in the ear and stimulating the neurological reflexes that correspond with your appetite and metabolic rate.
SlenderBeads are deigned to be used for Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture or acupressure) which is pressure applied to special points on the ear.
Auriculotherapy has been used for centuries in the East for treating many medical and pain conditions. Acupressure is very well suited to use on the ear's pressure points since ear acupuncture needles can be difficult to retain and can be uncomfortable on the smaller and more delicate tissue of the ear.
Since confirmation in the 1950's by medical researchers in the West, Auriculotherapy has also been widely used in Europe and in the U.S. Even celebrities have turned to auriculotherapy to help them, Kate Moss used it to help beat her drug addiction and Cherie Blair and Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich both used it to help aide weight loss.
SlenderBeads use auricular appetite suppression points on the Tragus which, in Western Medicine, is explained by causing reflex stimulation of the Vagus Nerve. This slows stomach emptying, increases feeling of fullness and lessens hunger. Initial clinical studies showed an average weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week when used properly for individuals motivated to lose weight.
SlenderBeads, which are made from pure titanium metal, are easy to apply and are attached to a clear plastic hypoallergenic adhesive strip which when stuck in the correct position on the ear lobe apply constant pressure to appropriate auricular pressure points.
For maximum effect, once in place you need to press or squeeze the beads against skin for 10-30 seconds 30 minutes before each meal and once during each meal to suppress hunger. Also press anytime during the day to suppress cravings.
Strips can last 2-4 days. Remove when tape is no longer sticking, beads loosen or skin irritation occurs. (Some indentations and redness normally occur and should disappear in 24 hours.)
Each box of SlenderBeads contains 10 acupressure strips, which can be worn permanently for up to three days. The pack also contains 10 alcoholic wipes fro hygienic application of the strips and a full information booklet with clear, easy to follow instructions for use.
SlenderBeads are for external use only and should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Do not use over an area of eczema or broken skin or while pregnant. Keep out of reach of children due to chocking hazard.
Also available from Indigo Health are LowerBackBeads and HeadacheBeads.
SlenderBeads LowerBackBeads & HeadacheBeads.are EU registered and cost £14.99 for a month's supply and are exclusively available from Indigo Health. visit www.indigohealth.co.uk or call: 0844 700 1975

Revealing The Beauty Secrets On The Set Of The Counselor
Unreal Sunless is the newest tanning range to hit the market, and its exploding onto our screens this Autumn in Ridley Scotts latest film, The Counselor. Ridleys latest creation stars Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender and Javier Bardem to mention just a few.
Polly and Tina Earnshaw were head of make up on this project and last year they invited several tanning companies to come and pitch for the chance to provide the cast of The Counselor with all the sunless tan and aftercare products for the shoot.
Unreal Sunless beat several other well known brands to the punch. Liz Hawthorne, founder and MD, explains that it was definitely our ability to provide a naturally based solution that could adapt to any skintone that won the day. Our brief was to produce exceptional colour to suit everyone, from Penelope Cruz who has olive skin through to Michael Fassbender who is fair skinned. We worked closely with Polly and Tina Earnshaw on this project and they stated they wanted Cameron Diaz to have a depth of colour similar to Rhianna for the movie. Our range consists of Light, Medium, Dark and very Dark and youre able to mix our solutions together to provide every possible colouration.
Polly Earnshaw had this to say; we used Unreal Sunless tan solution on the set of 'The Counselor' and loved it, its a great colour and contains wonderfully nourishing, naturally based ingredients. I would highly recommend it!
Unreal Sunless is being described as a breakthrough in fake tanning due to the fact that it features a new system called Advanced Seasonal Technology. AST, for short, allows our solutions to adapt to the weather conditions of the changing seasons! Our summer products contain ingredients to give a deeper, more bronzed tan whereas our winter solutions produce a more subtle, natural glow and are packed with hydrating ingredients to combat the harsher winter weather. Unreal Sunless is the FIRST fake tan to offer a selection of tan to suit the current season, what's more, everything is naturally based and paraben free so its even suitable for sensitive skins.
Unreal sunless tanning products are available at Salons and Spas and from selected House of Fraser outlets. Also available online at www.unreal.me.uk

LUSH Launch Valentines Day Range... A Celebration Of Massage
We believe massage should be celebrated ... not only does it ease aches and pains by releasing endorphins in the body, rejuvenate the body and calm the mind; but it can also be quite a sensual experience. Give your partner one of Lush's new massage bars this Valentine's Day and the benefits will surpass just the one day!
Introducing:
Tender is the Night (£4.50) ... a heart shaped massage bar, that's crushable in your hand! Synonymous with life perhaps, where you are able to break somebody's heart easily! Either be gentle with your heart and break off a small piece or crush the whole thing in your hand and get right to the soft centre, for a really generous, decadent massage. This one uses fair trade shea and murumuru butters, instead of cocoa butter, for a light shell that smooshes in your hand. Inside is the soft core of squishy almond oil, agave syrup, cupuacu and glycerine. Scented with vanilla absolute, jasmine and ylang ylang, it makes for a very seductive rub down! Vegan
From Dusk 'Til Dawn (£4.95) ... Quite simply, when it's Valentine's Day, you don't want your partner falling asleep on you after you've just given them an amazing massage. This one is designed to give you an energising, stimulating boost to keep you...ahem, up...from dusk 'til dawn! Shaped like a cone, you can use the pointy end to rub out any knotted muscles, aches and pains. Made with moisturising and softening cocoa and shea butters, along with nutritious moringa oil. Scented with an uplifting blend of sweet wild orange oil and lemon oil, with ginseng, ginkgo powder and guarana seed for added kick! Vegan
Not only are we introducing these two new bars for Valentine's Day, but we have also reformulated the current range of massage bars. The new aerated formula is 20% lighter than before, which means you don't need as much for the same effects, and made with fair trade, fully traceable cocoa butter. Choose from: Hottie (£5.75); Wiccy Magic Muscles (£6.25); Soft Coeur (£4.75); Each Peach (and Two's a Pair) (£5.50); and Black Stockings (£7.50).
Two of our bars; Peace (£6.95) and Therapy (£6.50), are made with cocoa butter made from the beans of a Peace Community we support in Northern Colombia, where villages have united and declared peace, by refusing to take sides in the turmoil around them. They are an inspiration and a shining light in their area for an alternative future that is not based on war and drug production.

Introducing:
Tender is the Night (£4.50) ... a heart shaped massage bar, that's crushable in your hand! Synonymous with life perhaps, where you are able to break somebody's heart easily! Either be gentle with your heart and break off a small piece or crush the whole thing in your hand and get right to the soft centre, for a really generous, decadent massage. This one uses fair trade shea and murumuru butters, instead of cocoa butter, for a light shell that smooshes in your hand. Inside is the soft core of squishy almond oil, agave syrup, cupuacu and glycerine. Scented with vanilla absolute, jasmine and ylang ylang, it makes for a very seductive rub down! Vegan

Have Younger Fresher Looking Skin This Spring With Natox The Natural Alternative To Botox
Now you can wipe out fine lines and wrinkles and have younger, fresh looking skin in days with the help of Natox, the first ever clinically proven to work, 100% organic alternative to Botox.
Distributed by leading skin care experts Richibrown, Natox is formulated with a high potency combination of natural ingredients, including skin smoothing and skin buffing sunflower oil and salicylic acid. It works to restrict muscle movement by delivering tiny electromagnetically charged particles that relax nerve endings, inhibiting the production of acetylcholine, acting just like Botox to freeze lines and wrinkles - without the invasive use of needles.
Use Natox every day and you'll not only help improve collagen production, speeding up the generation of skin cells but you'll be increasing the hydration and elasticity of your skin giving it an all new freshness. The result? Younger looking skin for longer, naturally.
Clinically proven to work, studies over six years showed testers using Natox revealed a reduction in facial creases, vertical frown lines and wrinkles in just three weeks. Better still Natox prevents new lines and wrinkles forming and unlike conventional injectables there are no side effects and far less chance of problems using the product as it is formulated using all natural organic ingredients.
Richibrown also offer a 60 money back guarantee if you are not happy with the results of Natox.
Natox cream costs £89.99, available at www.natox.com

Reaching Your Peak - Boost Your Health And Energy In 2013
Feeling drained of energy? Not performing at your best? Very few people have high energy all of the time and when your energy levels dip it can have a huge impact on your health, happiness and performance. energiseYou, the UK's leading expert in health and energy, has a free online energy check.
The short questionnaire takes ten minutes to complete and has been designed to give individuals a health check so that they can improve their energy, happiness and performance. Everyone who completes the questionnaire will receive immediate feedback on areas they need to work on to boost their energy.
The energy check focuses on seven key habits for health, energy, happiness and performance. It is based on a simple approach to mind management and resilience, nutrition, exercise, sleep, re-energising staff, smart computer use and work-life balance. To access the new energiseYou energy check visit www.energiseyou.com/energycheck
Oliver Gray, author of ENERGISE YOU and Managing Director of energiseYou, says, "High levels of energy not only help us perform at our best but we generally feel happier and are more successful when we have more energy. However, very few of us are taking the right steps to maintain high energy all of the time and too many of us rely on caffeine and high energy drinks to give us that quick fix.
"There are very simple changes we can put in place to boost our health, energy, performance and happiness. But it is important to be realistic - don't try to make too many changes at once, you are only setting yourself up to fail. Focus on making healthy choices 80% of the time and allow yourself 20% of the time to be flexible with life."
6 tips to maintain high energy
Achieving optimum energy so that we perform at our best depends on creating the right habits.

- Sleep - sleep well each night, so that each morning you start the day refreshed and energised
- Stay hydrated - start the day with a 1½ - 2 litre bottle of water, finish it by the end of the day
- "GRAZE NOT GORGE" - eat breakfast, lunch and dinner plus a mid-morning and mid afternoon snack
- Activate your energy - at least 3 times a week aim to do 30-60 minutes of exercise in the morning
- Watch the caffeine - keep caffeine drinks to a max of 2 per day
- Relax - give yourself 20 minutes of "stop time" per day
Be Bold With Brunette Like Caroline Flack
British Colour Technician of the Year, Ken Picton, gives his tips for a modern take on classic chocolate hair colours. "To make brunette more interesting, have some soft panels underneath but stay within two shades difference to the base colour, this gives a lovely undertone of warmth- a biscuit shade underneath always complements a deep brunette and is fabulous for those wanting to go warmer for the summer but keep their brunette locks."
Organic Colour Specialist, Karine Jackson, recommends the Organic Colour Systems No Limits Semi Permanent Hair Colour in Chestnut Brown £14.95, for a warm DIY do. "Whilst chocolate tones look fantastic and glossy when you get out of the salon, the colour can fade quite quickly. For those on a budget I recommend the No Limits Chestnut brown as it can be used at home to refresh colour in between salon visits as it lasts between 6-12 washes. Each No Limits shade is PPD and PTD-free, which makes it ideal for anyone allergic to these chemicals."
