However, briefly summed up, all the petroleum-derivative parabens (used as preservatives) are oestrogen mimics which, ultimately, could trigger cancers of the reproductive system in men and women, and may also affect foetal development. ‘Recently, scientists conducted an analysis of breast cancer tissue and found accumulated parabens in every sample’ (www.theecologist.org/green_green_living/behind_the_label/269124/behind_the_label_nivea_mois- turising_lotion.html)


If you don’t already do it, PLEASE get out of your advertising-brainwashed habits and read the labels; look for parabens and avoid them in cosmetics, skin-, hair- and other personal products. Isn’t it time to stop poisoning your beautiful self, your children and grand- children as well as our beautiful Earth? Our individual shopping choices DO make a difference…over a life-time! A longer or a shorter lifetime. You’ll find alternative, planet-friendly, YOU-friendly products in health stores. While you are pondering the innocence (or not) of your daily hygiene products, you may also like to consider how the numerous chemical fragrances in Nivea and many other prod- ucts accumulate, often eventually causing skin irritation and sensitivities. Think: this may be the reason for your allergies and/or contribute to asthmatic reactions.

REJUVANESSENCE® Face Massage: a fabulous part of my Age-Reversal Tool Kit


Massage and skin brushing stimulate the lymph and support ex- cretion of toxic substances stored in the body tissues. Clients who come to me for Rejuvanessence® face massage are usually amazed at how tired (initially) and thirsty they feel after the first few sessions. It’s because the body is clearing out decades worth of harmful ‘junk’ that has been stored in between the layers of skin (smoking or polluted environments as well as make-up, creams etc).


Using an all-natural, finger-tip massage technique the accumulated toxins are gradually and safely released. A good night’s sleep and drinking plenty of good quality water to flush out the toxins is all that’s needed. This facial detox is part of the reason why Rejuvanes- sence® gives such a healthy glow of radiance. The method also improves circulation and facial skin tone as well as helping reduce lines. Overall the rejuvenating results come from the combination of deep relaxation, detox, working acupressure points of face and head and, very often, improved sleep. How well the ‘ten years younger’ appearance takes effect and lasts depends upon the other life-style factors I have already mentioned. Similarly, ul- timate improvement in energy levels as a ‘side-effect’ of the Rejuvanessence® series also ties in with dietary and life-style habits. *A useful site for quickly checking toxic ingredients of your hair & skin products is www.ewg.org/skindeep
