Happy New You !

Fabulous Arbonne Sea Source Detox Spa


Happy New Year! How are you all ? Good I hope? My first blog of the year will take on a slightly different format to normal. I am going to focus purely on a hot January topic - DETOX ! January is that typical time of year, people look to re-vamp their lifestyle, or possibly have a post Christmas cleanse. Or perhaps you are dieting already and you want to give your weight loss a helping hand? Or maybe none of the above, but you just want super soft skin?? Whichever way it may be, are you sitting comfortably? Hold on tight for this January Home Spa Detox Special !

Firstly, what are the signs that YOU may need to detox?

*Congested/shiny skin *Bowel issues *headaches *Fatigue *Joint pain *depression *fluid retention *Wind (not the weather!) *Indigestion *Bad breath *Insomnia *Overweight *Asthma *Sinusitis *Run down

Secondly, why does detoxing with Arbonne help?

The marine plants and essential oils awaken the immune system and helps flush toxins out of the body

Thirdly, there are three key activities that will assist a detox programme:

* Regular body buffing/brushing from your feet to your head - large circular movements with a body brush or similar - this is to assist breaking down fatty cells *
 * Drink lots of water to help flush toxins (broken down fatty cells) out *
 * Exercise *

So, let me talk you through Arbonne Seasource products that help to assist a detox and weight loss programme:

Purifying Sea Soak Bath - This product is a "powerhouse" of antitoxidants all in one lovely bath soak. The contents of this sachet are very purifying and will re-mineralize your body, as it absorbs the minerals and trace elements. After you have bathed, it is recommended that you rest......relaxing and healing a soak is highly recommended before bed. Also, fine for a hot tub, as there is no scum!! (I love love love these baths - I particularly like them if I am feeling run down, a great pick me up! )

Foaming Sea Salt Scrub - Exfoliating is one of the most anti-ageing things you can do. This exfoliater helps with cellulite as it stimulates the cell wall around the fat and gets it moving (will be excreted through the body). It assists with skin and lymphatic circulation, and reducing fluid retention. If you are ill/tired/on medication it will help with fortifying your system. Also contains magnesium/zinc/copper which helps slimming down....and great for dry skin. (LOVE this - silky smooth skin straight away - and great for pimples on the back of arms - really works!)

5 in 1 Essential Massage Oil - Medically proven to be detoxifying (and won 2010 UK Beauty Award) Apply using knuckles! (It may hurt if you have cellulite). The essential oils are absorbed into the body within 10 minutes, and will leave skin firm and smooth. Can also be used in the bath and also assists with getting rid of fluid retention (contributes to weight loss) and circulation improvement. For best results drink 2 litres of water the same day as your bath! (I love this in my bath - silky smooth skin afterwards! Not yet tried the knuckle massage, I am going to try it this month!) Nb.Very stimulating, not recommended when pregnant or breastfeeding

Sea Mud Face and Body Mask - A very powerful and active healing product! It is full of blue/green algae which is packed full of anti-toxidants and vitamins. This mask particularly helps with skin complaints such as Eczema and Psoriasis (recommend application of skin conditioning oil first). The product works by drawing out and ingesting toxins and waste products from the lymph system.The ginger root also relaxes muscles. Skin may go red - but this is a sign it's working! (I love using this on my face, it calms my skin/break outs)

Detoxifying Rescue Wash - This is good for hair/face/body (helps with chemically treated hair too!) It cleanses and detoxifies, soothes, stimulates, conditions and is also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial; so great after exercise. Good again for Eczema and Psoriasis (I use daily as a body wash and since using it, the spot prone skin on my back and chest has hugely improved)

Fortifying Hair Mask - Despite its name - this can actually be used anywhere on the body where you suffer dry or flaky skin! It can be left on overnight for an intense treatment, and great for anyone with scalp conditions. With sage leaf, which is anti-viral, shea butter which is nourishing and calming. Healing, calming and intensely conditioning, this can be used as a conditioner or left on longer as a treatment. (A once a week must for me, and a personal favourite with two of my preferred clients)

Renewing Body Gelee - Containing lots of sea botanical extracts and helps restore the skins iconic balance. It is great for stimulating cellulite in conjunction with the massage oil. Cooling and refreshing, it helps long haul heavy legged flights, lymphatic problems, after exercise, after sun, after waxing, varicose veins and headaches. (I use after exercise religiously, the "cooling" feeling is just fabulous!)

Re-mineralizing 24 Hour body lotion - A brilliant intense moisturiser that leaves the skin silky soft for 24 hours. Behaving as a shield and moisture trap, it has collagen support and contains olive oil, shea butter and sea kelp. Is also excellent for the feet if they are particularly dry (I LOVE this moisturiser, particularly after the salt scrub, it's the softest my skin has ever been! Erm...am also convinced it has helped give me firmer skin on my bottom. Sorry to all boy clients reading this!)

I don't know about you, but it makes me want to jump in the bathroom this second (The detoxing, not the firmer bottom) !

So how much would the entire set cost you ? Well, you may have received my text last week regards this months PWP, and this will considerably reduce the cost of your spend. The Seasource Express set is just £40 with any £45.00 spend (Please note this £45.00 standard retail price, so before your discount of 20% as a PC and 35% as a Conslt). This set contains the gelee, the hair mask, face/body mask, sea salt scrub, rescue wash. 5 down, 3 to go. If you were keen to complete the set, after discount, you can buy the massage oil/body lotion/massage oil for just under £85.00 - so the entire range could be all yours for just £125 instead of the retail value of £209! Call me if you require any order assistance, or to talk through the products/ingredients/offers in more detail!

If you are detoxing/dieting/not boozing, then best of luck with the success of your goal - you can do it! Personally I have a new gym programme, and I have had to indulge in sea soaks and gelee applications already to sooth my aching limbs!

So that's all for this month folks, may 2012 be a great year for you all, see you next month!
