Rejuvenate your skin from the inside as well as the outside. Good health radiates through your whole body, especially your skin, hair, eyes and nails.
Starting her career in the beauty business, Wendy realised that to have great skin at any age it takes more than;
- Facials and beauty treatments.
- Cellulite reduction on the top of the legs and thighs should be more permanent than the fluid lost in a body wrap at a day spa.
- Stress lines and fatigue on your face can be well managed without drugs and injections.
- Your hormones should not be reflected on your skin and face - blemishes and blotches with PMS and premature aging and dryness with menopause.
- The underlying issues were usually health related.
As the body ages, cell division slows down. This happens at different times in different people, and can be affected by many outside factors. As far as the skin is concerned, the slowing down means that various organs of the skin work less efficiently. The inner dermis network of collagen and elastin fibres which give the skin it's plump contours, suppleness and firmness, begin to alter, losing its tension and plumpness and wrinkles form. The outer layer of the skin cells, the epidermis, also becomes thinner resulting in the flat, lifeless appearance of older skin. Nothing can prevent this natural process, but........
A Rejuvenating Detoxification Program is a great way to start:
This is an intensive internal cleansing programme that can be managed without you having to go away to a retreat and is inexpensive to get underway. Organise some friends or your partner and do it together for extra incentive.
Over the years I have used a great many products on myself (lab rat) first, then introduced preparations to patients, but always come back to the fundamentals:
- the right food
- the right exercise
- the right anti-oxidants - some cutting edge products on the market now
- 30+ sun block worn even on overcast days all year round
- stop smoking
- stay hydrated
- avoid excessive alcohol
- use Wendy's Rejuvenating Serum
Use of essential oils for beauty products
The skin was once thought to be waterproof / impermeable and nothing could be absorbed into the layers below. Now all matters of medication (nicotine patches, hormone replacement therapy etc) are applied directly onto the skin for absorption. It is indeed because the skin is such an effective absorber that the essential oils work particularly well.
Essential oils work in several ways:
- Prevent congestion and toxic build up
- Help eliminate of toxic debris
- Improve lymphatic flow
- Blood circulation
- Action on the peripheral nerve endings
As a result of using essential oils, the skin cell regeneration is stimulated, becomes more dynamic and stronger, sebum secretions more balanced, unwanted bacteria is neutralised preventing blemishes, sensitivity can be calmed and also stress and tension lines softened. Natural creams with essential oils are gentle and subtle. They work quickly, effectively and continually .
The preparation of natural cosmetics is simple and no expensive machinery is required. The raw materials are essential oils, cocoa butter, beeswax, vegetable oils, sometimes lanolin, flower waters, honey and the like. When you make your own tailor made creams you will also experience the fun of creating beneficial, economical and pleasant preparations for your own specific problems.
