Welcome to the Winter 2010 
Beauty Essentials Newsletter


Just because you're covered up during the winter, DON'T NEGLECT the skin that lies beneath!!  More than ever during the winter months, the skin on your body skin needs nourishment and protection. 

Environ Hydrating Lotion

If you're not the best at maintaining your body exfoliation regime essential for dewy-looking skin, then the new AVST Hydrating Lotion (100ml $57.50) might just be the one for you:
  • Penetrates into deep layers of the skin
  • Softens and smooths the skin
  • Encourages the natural exfoliating function
  • Easily absorbed
  • Improves moisture reservoirs
  • Contains AHA's to make the skin luminous
  • Combats dry rough patches on feet, elbows and knees
When used in conjunction with
AVST Vitamin A, C E Oil (100ml $96.00):
  • Repairs the effects of sun damage
  • Excellent for treating scarring
  • High in antioxidant protection
  • Nourishing, but doesn’t leave an oily residue
  • High levels of active vitamins
  • Strengthens the skin
Application is sweetened by the delicate but invigorating fragrance of AVST Hydrating Lotion's bitter orange, and balance is restored - skin deep.


                          **************************
During the winter our skin needs added protection from sudden extremes of temperature, cold winds and artificial heating,  to prevent capillary damage, diffused redness, lipid dryness and trans epidermal water loss.
Is your skin well protected while you are out in the elements?
If you would like a complimentary review of your skincare regime please give me a call.

Fact File - What is Nanotechnology???

Nanotechnology (nanotech) is an advanced technology involving the creating and use of particles so small that the unit of measurement is the nanometre (one billionth of a metre). Nanotechnology has been used extensively in the fields of computer science, medicine and engineering. Research in the medical field indicates nanotechnology can help with the healing and repair of skin. In the cosmetic field, the theory is that these smaller particles are more readily absorbed into the skin, therefore repairing damage more easily and efficiently. And that is exactly what opponents of nanotechnology are concerned with – Ingredients penetrating further into the skin and interfering with the skin’s metabolic processes. Nanotechnology is the subject of much research and offers potential benefits in the future, in many revolutionary ways, both for medicinal purposes and for technological use.

Public debate on nanotechnology has raised questions regarding the potential hazard to the environment and to human health. However, the technology, and its safe use in consumer products, is constantly under review by regulatory bodies worldwide.


Because of the uncertainty surrounding “nano particles”, to date, both Environ® Skincare and Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics have made a conscious decision not to use these particular ingredients, as the safety of their customers is paramount.

ANNUAL LEAVE

The Clinic will be closed from Monday 9th August and reopen Thursday 19th August at 10.00am.
Please check your AVST moisturiser supplies prior to this and stock up if you need to, because as we know, there is no warning that the pump is getting low!  As a rule of thumb your moisturiser should last 2.5 - 3 months when you are using it day and night (although it may not go as far in the winter).  If you aren't sure, please check with me the date you started your current pump.

SNEAK PREVIEW

New Environ Products Coming End of July

On 26th July the clinic is closed, as I go to the "Cosmetic Horizons" Environ Conference in Auckland on the future of anti-ageing performance cosmetics.  Dr Ernst Eiselsen, Environ Medical Director,  will be launching the following products, which will be available after this date.  Results on the skin are obvious after 3 weeks use of the new serums:

makeup bag

Focus Frown Serum
  • safer, non-invasive alternative to Botox
  • delivers rapid, impressive results on expression lines
  • softens muscle activity around eyes and forehead visibly reducing fine wrinkes and frown lines
  • minimises deep frown lines caused by contractions of facial muscles
  • increase penetration with a DF Treatment or a home use Environ RollCit or FocusCit.

Hyrdating Serum
  • more details available after 26 July

Focus-CIT ($45.00)

Remember that UVA rays are stronger in the winter than the summer.    The SPF value of sunscreens only applies to UVB burning rays. We do not feel the more harmful UVA rays that penetrate deep into our skin breaking down collagen and elastin fibres and causing skin cancer. For sun protection we have Environ RAD SPF16 Sunscreen containing natural antioxidant vitamins $55.00, and Jane Iredale Tinted Moisturiser (in 3 colours) SPF15 $89.00. Are you taking off somewhere warm soon?  Don't forget your sunscreen.
