Aging
is inevitablebut the lookof aging skindoes not
need to be. A non-invasive, non-surgical way to dupe
Mother Nature is turning heads in the BlueMountains
area. It’s one of the latest "must-have skin essentials"
touted by the beauty industry – the oxygen facial.
And let’s face it, there’s a reason why a long list of
celebrities such as Madonna, and Victoria and David
Beckham swear by oxygen facials. This treatment has
exploded onto the beauty scene largely due to its in-
stant results, characterizedbya smoothingandplump-
ing of the skin's surface.
Our environment is constantly con-
taminatedby free radicals, UV rays,
andpollutants –all toxic for our skin.
To offset this, Mani Dearmas of Re-
vive O2 offers the combination of
anoxygen facial enhancedwithmi-
crocurrent facial rejuvenationprotocol for anon-invasiveprocedurewith re-
markable results. The topical delivery of 95% pure medical-grade oxygen
enhances the penetration of nutrients to deeper levels of the epidermis.
Infused with Bio-Swiss organic botanicals, Luzern Laboratories anti-aging
serums are tailored toyour specific skinconcerns –whethermature, inflamed
or acne-prone. One such serum, WE3, uses Swiss apple
stem cells, pure amino-peptides and Bio-Swiss organic ex-
tracts tovirtually lift away surface lines andwrinkles. Another
is Clinical Collagen Booster RX – the name says it all!
It’s like taking your face to the gym but you just sit back &
relax. Microcurrent stimulation works to control the length
and tone of the face and neck muscles underlying the skin.
As muscles regain tone and tighten up, the skin they are at-
tached to also tightens up. This, alongwith the benefit of in-
creased circulation, and improved elasticity and texture,
unveils amore youthful appearance.
The BENEFITS...
• boost the renewal of fresh skin cells
• stimulate collagen, enhance elasticity
• optimize cellular detoxification
• kill acne-causing bacteria
• speed healing of damaged skin.
Revive O 2 is located at Pamper & Soothe Boutique, 13 Louisa St. E. Thornbury

Frigid,
dry air outside and heated, dry air
inside, can doa number on your skin during
thewinter months. Yes, you need your mois-
turizers and sunscreen tohelpprevent crack-
ing and crinkles but to keep your skin
glowing fromhead to toe, try these following
easy suggestions to maintain a feeling of
smooth and youthful skin all winter long.
Feed your skin wrinkle-fighters...
Eat citrus (oranges, tangelos, grapefruit)
often. The fruitful bonanza of vitamin C dis-
courages wrinkles because C helps pump
up collagen — supportive protein fibers that
stop skin from sagging.
Wash with the right stuff...
Skip soaps with colours and fragrances.
Dyes can leave a dull residue, and scents
can trigger allergies. Instead, choosegentle,
pH-balanced cleansers that won't upset
skin's protective acidmantle.
Tip: If the soap you're using doesn't sting your
eyes, it likely won't bother your skin.
Go for the greens...
To keep skin from drying out, up your intake of
dark green veggies. Spinach, broccoli, andmus-
tard greens are especially rich in skin-loving vita-
min A. Green is beautiful, so start nurturing the
green goddess in you for naturally glowing skin.
AddGreen Tea to your winter beverages.
Green tea keeps you hydrated, as does water,
but here's the difference—Tea is brimming with
good-for-you flavonoids... plant-based com-
pounds with powerful antioxidant properties,
whichmeans they reduce inflammation, promote
healthyarteries, andhelp fight agingbyprevent-
ing -- and repairing -- cellular damage.
So fill abig thermoswithgreen tea in themorning,
and sip it all day -- hot at first, over ice later, if you
like. Your face will thank you.
