City Living: How the Environment can Affect Your Skin

Most of us will live in a city at some point in our lives, whether for career reasons, because we’re born there, or because we prefer the urban existence.
But many city dwellers are unaware of the influence that their choice of city-stomping ground has on the condition of their skin.
Don’t get me wrong, the majority of people understand how their surroundings can have an effect on their general health, but the impact of city living on a person’s skin in particular is widely underestimated.
So what is city living really doing to your complexion? To find the answer we are going to have to investigate two massive by-products of the modern city: Pollution and Stress.

The Effects of Pollution

We all know that those living in the city are exposed to more pollution than their country brethren, but why exactly is pollution so bad?
The answer lies with the presence of unstable chemicals called ‘free radicals’, which are produced through exposure to pollutants. Although free radicals are a natural product of our metabolic processes, an excess of them can wreak some serious damage on our bodies.
Aside from being linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, free radicals also steal oxygen from our skin cells and cause them to age prematurely.  The best way to combat this is to take vitamin supplements, with a special focus on vitamins A, C, and E. Arbonne provides all the neccessary supplements to ensure optimum healt ,  browse the health and wellness section...
There are several other skin problems linked to city pollution; the proportion of people suffering from atopic eczema is much higher in cities and city-smog can lead deficiencies in vitamin D.
To protect your skin from the harmful effects of pollution, look into the use of anti-oxidants to heal your skin from within, while natural skin care products will help to protect it from outside.

The Effects of Stress

Stress is another by-product of fast-paced modern life. Whether it’s due to ongoing demands at work, daily irritations like trying to navigate busy pavements and congested roads, or high levels of unnatural light or noise, living in a city can definitely make you stressed!
Stress depletes your skin of nutrients and can lead to increased levels of acne and blotchy skin. Another side effect of stress is that it makes many people reach for a cigarette, alcoholic beverage or piece of junk food, which won’t do your health any favours.
You can combat stress related acne by making sure to unblock your pores as much as possible and applying a daily moisturiser. See the RE9 sets for both men and woman which are made again from pure and natural products.   For girls, it’s also highly advisable to cleanse and tone before you put your make-up on in the morning and again when you take your make-up off at night.
Making sure to get enough sleep is another vital tip. You may live in a city that doesn’t sleep, but it’s crucial to try and avoid social temptations once in a while, and ensure that you master the art of unwinding fully at least once a week.
Ultimately, you’re not going to look like a zombie at 50 just because you have lived in a city for a long time, but it’s always good to be aware of how your environment can affect the condition of your skin. Now that you know how to combat the negative factors working against you, you’ll have that countryside glow without even stepping off the side-walk!

Arbonne provides the answers to many of the above problems from our unique antiageing range   
and the health and wellness section and of course not forgetting the lovely Sea Salt Spa Range

arbonne inspiration

Arbonne-

by Becki 
This was recenly posted by one of our Independant Arbonne Consultant,   its just says it all,   the reason we do this job,  a  lovely way of explaining it all ....

Once upon a time....
....a lady went into a beautiful store that had a reputation for quality products. She said to the owner 'Excuse me, i would like to work for you and ill do a great job however in return i would like the following:
Firstly everything i sell i would like to keep a % of the commission.
Second, if i choose to, ill find other sharp people to sell the products too and i would like to also receive commission for each person i find and train.
Third, i would like to work my own hours so that i can be with my family and not miss my child's school play etc.

Forth, i would like the opportunity to receive rewards when i do well.
Fifth, my family must always come first.
Finally when i do well i would like recognition and honour, plus extra gifts like jewellery, cash, trips and a car!
Can you give me these things?'
The owner was in shock he laughed at her and said 'You cant be serious, you live in a dreamworld. There isn't a job like that anywhere!'
But there is....Arbonne IS that dream job and all the above could be yours if you arbonise your life....

Sampling evening fun for all

I still get really excited about launching new products,  and of course the Christmas Range is simply gorgeous,  and tonight we will be opening and sampling all the products.   My favorite simply has to be the Pomegranate Hair Care,  this has a luxurious smell that is quite divine.  A sulphate free cleansing strengthens and conditions your hair with beneficial soy proteins and amino acids, AND its safe for coloured hair and lets face it at 50ish I need ALL the above.

Another favorite I have to mention because I work in retail and am on my feet for 8+ hours a day,  and there is nothing like a pampering session for my feet at the end of the day. The delicious Peppermint foot care all wrapped up ....

And it also makes a lovely gift beautifully packaged with a pair of cosy socks ... you could always compliment it with the lovely peppermint body care set and get ready for the festive season with the all over tingly peppermint care.

 

So we will be having an early Christmas celebration and enjoying a glass of wine while trying all these exclusive skin care gifts,  the tantalizing smell of the Christmas range and aroma therapy,re

We will of course also be sampling all the other ranges including my all time favorite the Sea Salt Spa range this is a must in any stressful life,  and lets face it we all could do with a bit of pampering now and again.

I cannot leave without sharing the absolute queen of exclusive Christmas gifts,  and absolute treasure and presented in a stunning chest that will add grace to any dressing table:

 Mandarin Pomegranate. This lightly floral, fruity fragrance places you amidst a sun filled orchard, ripe with divine fruit. Give the gift of bliss with a luxurious set that includes Shower Gel, Bubble Bath, Body Lotion, and Bath Salts in a beautifully designed keepsake chest.

And:  not forgetting the chance to try out our vegan approved,  cruelty free make up ranges.

So of course I am really  excited and cant wait to see everyone tonight and some new faces as well.  Gotta love this business .... I shall of be posting pics tomorrow watch this space.

MINERAL OIL REVIEW

 Home / Beauty / Natural Skin Care / http://yoursnaturally.MyArbonne.co.uk

 HAVE JUST READ THIS FROM THE WEB SITE BLISS PLAN - please see below for links -

  WOW IT CERTAINLY MAKES YOU THINK TWICE WHY ARE WE PUTTING THIS MUCK ON OUR FACE EVERY SINGLE DAY AND LETS FACE IT ITS ACTUALLY MAKING YOUR WRINKLES WORSE:  PEOPLE ARE REALIZING MORE AND MORE THAT THEY NEED TO USE NATURAL PRODUCTS :

Oil Of Olay Products: Mineral Oil Is The LEAST Of Their Problems

If you use Oil Of Olay products, you'd better get accustomed to a new name because the new name is simply "Olay". This is because many consumers are realizing that the 'oil' in Oil of Olay is mineral oil on skin just isn't a fine idea. In fact, it's a terrible idea and mineral oil safety is highly questionable meaning that Oil of Olay & skin aren't good companions.
When you know what mineral oil is it's not hard to see why it's not best buds with your body and mine 'cuz it's made from petroleum. Yep, that same goopy, valuable black stuff that bubbles out of the ground. Your cat might love it – but your organs don't. In fact, mineral oil is nothing but a liquid hydrocarbon that has been refined to look a little less … disturbing. If someone suggested that you should reach into an oil puddle and slap some on your face you'd stare at them in horror and disbelief. But mineral oil really isn't all that different.
Mineral oil has no nutrient value for the skin and can interfere with the body's own natural moisturizing mechanism, leading to dryness and chapping. It will clog your pores and, in the body, it increases your load of toxins.
Q: So why do skin care companies use this garbage?
A: Because it's cheap.
A Closer Look At An Oil Of Olay Moisturizer: Olay Definity Cream
Olay's Definity is marketed as an anti aging moisturizer. Obviously, anyone interested in anti aging wants their skin to be nourished and improved – otherwise, how will we look younger? So let's see what's actually in this produce [according to the Olay website]:

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: 3% OCTISALATE, 3% OCTOCRYLENE, 2% AVOBENZONE.
ALSO CONTAINS: WATER, GLYCERIN, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, NIACINAMIDE, ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE, ISOPROPYL LAUROYL SARCOSINATE, PANTHENOL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, DIMETHICONE, DIMETHICONOL, TRIETHANOLAMINE, BENZYL ALCOHOL, CARBOMER, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, C13-14 ISOPARAFFIN, CETEARYL GLUCOSIDE, STEARYL ALCOHOL, LAURETH-7, CETYL ALCOHOL, PEG-100 STEARATE, METHYLPARABEN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PROPYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, PEG-4 LAURATE, PEG-4 DILAURATE, IODOPROPYNYL BUTYLCARBAMATE, PEG-4, AMMONIUM POLYACRYLATE, POLYACRYLAMIDE, IRON OXIDES.

Are these ingredients really good for your face? Let's see:
Glycerine: may – or may not – be Ok, depending on whether it's plant or animal glycerine.
Animal glycerine has been implicated as a cancer-agent and it definitely has some negative effects on our organs. It's called a "polyhydric alcohol" which is a technical term for a substance that is extremely drying to the skin, which is ironic in a skin care product.
Titanium Dioxide: is supposedly relatively safe on skin but it isn't safe to inhale. I have to wonder how anything with a hazardous smell can possibly be a wise idea. When it's used in in nanotechnology {Arbonne does this} then it's definitely a hazard.
Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate: this is not allowed in personal products in Japan but it considered a 'moderate hazard' in the US.
Question: why do we want ANY hazard in our skin care products?
Benzyl Alcohol: there is strong evidence of this chemical being toxic to the human neurosystem, or nerves. Many people evidence allergies to Benzyl alcohol and there have been definite mutations in human cells from this product.
Laureth-7: is a 'moderate hazard; because it is often contaminated with truly horrifying chemicals like Etheylene Oxide and 1,4-Dioxane.
Cetyl Alcohol: all alcohol is drying to the skin; it is frequently obtained from killing whales or dolphins and unless we know the source, we cannot assume it is plant-based; there are some concerns about irritation of the skin, eyes or lungs.
PEG-100 Stearate, PEG 4 Laurate, PEG-4 Dilaurate: used to thicken skin care products – yet they're so strong that they're often used in spray-on oven cleaners! PEGs can destroy the natural functioning of your skin which help keep it soft and moist. PEG products are likely to be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, a carcinogen and research has clearly revealed that dioxane easily penetrates the skin.
Methylparaben, Propylparaben, and Ethylparaben: parabens are used as inhibitors of microbial growth and to extend shelf life of products. Widely used even though they are known to be toxic. Have caused many allergic reactions and skin rashes. Highly toxic. {From Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)}: "WARNING! HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. SKIN CONTACT: CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE REDNESS, ITCHING, AND PAIN. MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS. EYE CONTACT: CAUSES IRRITATION, REDNESS, AND PAIN." It's estimated that 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens and the number is growing astronomically because they're cheap to manufacture. Methyl paraben may degrade releasing methanol, a potentially toxic chemical {see Formaldehyde}. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system. According to the Journal of Applied Toxicology, they have been implicated in cancers because they increase estrogenic activity in the body. They have caused many allergic reactions and skin rashes. They are effective preservatives because they inhibit enzyme activity – but the human body desperately needs enzymes. Research has shown that they may affect the future fertility of male babies. According to Professor John Sumpter of Brunel University, England, an expert on estrogenic chemicals in the environment, the use of these preservatives might just "play a role in falling sperm counts and rising breast cancer rates."
Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate: is prohibited for use in cosmetics in the European Union; it is linked to cancer, allergies, immunotoxicity, irritation of the skin, eyes or lungs; organ system toxicity; endocrine disruption; neurotoxicity ranging from subtle developmental delays to chronic nerve degeneration diseases and there is limited evidence of gastrointestinal or liver toxicity.
Ammonium Polyacrylate: this is considered of low risk – IF there is a low amount of absorption. What does "low" mean?
Keep in mind that these chemicals don't just sit on the surface of your skin. They interact with your skin cells and a certain percentage is absorbed into the body.
Further, the skin is the largest excretory organ of the body and if it is coated with chemicals, it cannot do its job.
YOU can be in charge of what goes on your skin and in your body. In fact, you'd better take charge because no one else is concerned about your safety – not the government or the skin care companies. Olay is certainly not unique

Opportunity Knocks

 

 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

                                 

Business Type

Health & Beauty

In May 2011 Arbonne won the Direct Selling Association’s Excellence Award, the industry’s top ‘Oscar’. The company has a successful 30-year track record in the US and has taken the UK by storm.
All products are sold through Arbonne independent consultants and by joining the company you can enjoy the benefits of a generous compensation plan with the flexibility to fit the role around your lifestyle.

SWISS HERITAGE

In 2007 Arbonne expanded into the UK as part of wider growth plans that also saw it enter both the Canadian and Australian markets. Its product range of beauty, skin care and nutrition lines have a strong Swiss heritage and combine scientific principles with botanical ingredients to deliver clinically proven results.
From a standing start, the UK company has made good progress - an impressive performance has seen Arbonne go from zero to over 17,000 independent consultants in just over five years.
In 2011 Arbonne’s Global Training Conference was held in Las Vegas - and what a success it was, with over 200 UK consultants coming together to share their commitment, passion, dedication, spirit and vision. The three-day event enables Arbonne independent consultants to celebrate and recognise their success and get inspired through product launches and unrivalled training workshops.
In the UK Arbonne has its own premier training and recognition event too. The Arbonne Advantage Conference enables independent consultants to hear leading consultants share their advice on how to motivate and energise every Arbonne business.
Arbonne is always looking for more people to join the company. Victoria Beckett, general manager of Arbonne UK, explains more about the opportunity: “Arbonne is an incredibly successful company that is flourishing for three main reasons.
“Firstly, Arbonne products are of an exceptionally high quality and they work. Once people try them, they tend to come back for more. Secondly, the rewards of becoming involved can be impressive.
And thirdly, the flexibility of the role suits many people who can fit it around family or other work commitments.
“The combination of these three factors means we are signing up new consultants every day and the company is going from strength to strength.” Part of the attraction of the Arbonne opportunity is its generous compensation plan, and many consultants are working on their business full-time.
As a consultant you:
• Have minimal start-up costs.
• Enjoy a 35 per cent discount off the suggested retail price on all products.
• Have exceptional support and training.
• Enjoy travel opportunities.
Independent consultants come from all backgrounds and have different skill sets and expertise. Through a strong, supportive community and a generous compensation plan, many have successfully reached their personal goals of financial and time freedom although, like any business, the success or failure depends on each independent consultant’s own skills and efforts.
The results of 2010 illustrate how far the company has come. In the year 2010-2011 there was:
• A 51 per cent increase in independent consultants.
• A 65 per cent increase in sales.
• A 62 per cent increase in orders placed.
• A 114 per cent increase in the number of national vice presidents.
The company has an unwavering commitment to quality and all products being pure, safe and beneficial. The products are inspired by nature, contain no animal products, are not tested on animals and all have FSC packaging as part of Arbonne’s wider environmental policy. The product lines are continually revised and reviewed to keep up to date with current trends, changing demands and advances in science.

PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

The current product portfolio includes:
• RE9 Anti-Ageing and RE9 Anti-Ageing for Men. Both of these product lines were revamped in 2010 with new formulations to give quicker, more dramatic results.
• FC5. An innovative range for face, body and hair featuring fresh cell technology where the phytonutrients from five fruits and vegetables are used in the formulas. This line includes FC5 Moisturising Night Crème, winner of the Best New Skin Care Mass Market Line in the British Beauty Awards 2010.
• Arbonne Cosmetics. This comprehensive make-up collection, launched in 2010, added an extra dimension to the Arbonne offer. The Arbonne Cosmetics Make-up Primer has been the company’s number one best seller since it launched.
• SeaSource Detox Spa. A personal care purification programme for detoxification, restoration and renewal. Again, a British Beauty Award winner is in this range - the SeaSource Detox Spa 5-in-1 Essential Massage Oil won the Best New Body Care Product, Mass Market in 2010.
• Arbonne Essentials. The latest product to hit the UK, Arbonne Essentials launched in March 2011 and brought something new to the Arbonne portfolio - a range of nutritional products, including the Antioxidant and Immunity Support super-fruit boost shot, Calcium Plus and Daily PowerPacks for
Women.
