Get a skin metamorphosis

Regular face exfoliation is the best way to keep your skin clear and healthy looking. Exfoliating is skin treatment where the dead skin cells are sloughed off by a brush, sponge or by other means.

Face exfoliation should be an integral part of your skin care. When you exfoliate your face, you remove the dead surface skin cells and the oil that cause pores to plug and lead to problems like blackhead, whiteheads, pimples and acne. If you don't remove these cells regularly they can clog the sebaceous pores and make your skin look dull and patchy.

Benefits of exfoliation:

Improves even tone of complexion.

Makes your skin look brighter and feel smoother.

Encourages the growth of new skin cells

Increases blood circulation.

Improves skin texture and colour.

Removes blockages.

Allows skin to maintain the correct amount of oil.

Skin preparations are absorbed more easily.

Colour foundation application is more natural.

HOW TO EXFOLIATE.

Step 1

Cleanse your face using Annique cleanser to remove the impurities and the residue of make-up.

Step 2

Wet your face and apply the Refining Scrub, The Scrub or Smooth Over Scrub designed for your face, or apply it with a combined with your cleanser.

Step 3

Scrub using gentle circular motions, avoiding the eye area because the skin is very delicate and can be easily damaged by abrasive products.

Step 4

Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm Rooibos water and pat it dry.

Step 5

Apply an Annique exfoliating masque like Detox Silk Masque or Calm Down, it will bring a glow to your skin and nourish it.

Step 6

At the end don't forget to apply moisturiser and/or night cream. Follow-up with pH Balancing Freshener or Skin Nutrition Spray.

TIP: Men should scrub before shaving to lift the hair for a closer shave and reduce in-grown hairs.

Facial Marathon

Facial Marathon

This was a very special journey for me!

About 18 months ago I was thinking about ideas to increase my business. I thought a marathon would be a good idea, but I didn't have the courage to implement it. Four months ago a friend of mine told me about a little boy with Zellweger Syndrome. In the same breath he challenged me with : "What are you and Annique going to do for him?" My reply was: " Well, I don't know what Annique's going to do, but I can organize a facial marathon."

I actually couldn't believe I said that at first, but he was impressed and we held our first meeting there and then. God's grace rested upon this project, as we had fantastic sponsors, the beauty consultants in my group just jumped in with excitement and we had a very successful event on the 11th & 12th February. We did 40 facials and collected approximately R6000.

Thank you to all who supported this event.!!!

Unique Brain

You are Special!

In Jer. 1: 5 it says "I chose you before I gave you life..."

Just imagine, my name was called in the universe even before I was conceived. I am special because 1 out of 100 mil. sperm cells outperformed the others to penetrate an egg cell, which formed me!

The following info just emphasise our uniqueness. (The following is a quotation, but I didn't pen the author's name down - sorry)
"One of the wonders of human development is the manner in which the human brain , which consists of over 100 billion neurons, can develop so quickly from just a few initial neural cells. During the time the brain is growing "in Utero" it must be generating neurons at a rate of more than 250 000 per minute. Furthermore, once the nuerons are 'born' , they must move to their correct location and form connections , which have been estimated at up to 15 000 per neuron.

This is mind boggling!

What happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record. There was a time when I wouldn't admit what a sinner I was. But my dishonesty made me miserable and filled my days with frustration. All day and all night Your had was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water on a sunny day until I finally admitted all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide them. I said to myself, "I will confess them to the Lord". And You for gave me! All my guilt is gone. (Ps 32: 1 -5 from the Living Bible)

O Father, You are the Almighty, the truth and the light. Thank You Lord for forgiving my sins, for they are many! Thank You Hoy Spirit for helping me to forgive those who have rejected me, who have spoken badly of me, lied to me and have broken my heart. Forgiveness has set me free, it has restored my joy and peace in my heart and I can only stay on this road with Your teachings, and inspiration. Thank You for Your Word and that I can know You will never leave me. In Jesus Name Amen

Weightloss

During last year I battled to lose weight. I was exercising, eating lots of vegetables, drank lots of water, and herbal teas but could not shake anything off. The doctor was concerned as my blood sugar levels shot up by 33%. I did some research of my own and decided to cut out as many starches as possible. I still trained, drank my herbal teas and water. I drank cellulite and grapefruit capsules and decided to stay away from the scale for as long as I can. I have now lost nearly 10kg (only got on the scale after 4 months), stopped the cellulite caps but still drink the grapefruit in the mornings. I think weighing yourself too often forms a block on your system, what do you think? It's great to fit into clothing I couldn't wear for more the 3 years!!
greetings,
