ADVANTAGES OF ROOIBOS

This is an extract from the Annique Replique:

"It was confirmed that Rooibos tea is the only source for aspalathin, that is exceptionally beneficial and a rare antioxidant.

The combination of antioxidants in the tea has the ability to measurable elevate the antioxidants in the body to peak within one hour of drinking 400 - 500ml. What this means is that your internal defence system against deseases gets a significant boost.

With the spike in unhealthy living, high stress and high blood pressure and related illnesses, it is necessary to look at all avenues to prevent or treat these, mostly, lifestyle diseases. Another antioxidant found in Rooibos tea in certain circumstances and limited quantities is chrysoeriol which prevents and treats vascular diseases. These are the sometimes life-threatening diseases we are aware of as 'my arteries are blocked', or 'I have high blood pressure problems' to even ' my arteries have hardened'

These don't sound very problematic, but they are. More than what most of us think until it is almost too late. Another research study found that an enzyme found in Rooibos can actually promote a healthy heart. After drinking Rooibos tea, this angiotensin-converting enzyme is significantly decreased and inhibited. And as the research has shown, it is this exact enzyme that is believed to be directly involved with the development of cardiovascular disease. The inhibitors of this enzyme are used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease."

I must confess, the past 2 years I battled to drink Rooibos - just a mental block - but today I decided to the benefits are far greater than my dislike. So here we go back to Rooibos tea!

Getting rid of stomach bugs

A little while ago my oldest daughter had a stomach bug and couldn't keep anything in and down.

I gave her some of Annique's Stomach and Detox teas and she was all better within 24 hours.

The Stomach tea - Rooibos with Mentha Longifolia - is a powerful antiseptic, that gets rid of all the bad bacteria in the stomach.

The Detox tea - Rooibos with Ginger - removes toxins from the body. It also reduces gas, cleanses the colon and heals bowel disorders.

Rooibos - the antioxidants in rooibos are called polyphenols and the catechins in the polyphenols support your overall health and boost your immune system.

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.!!!
