Greetings,
Its the new year and I was ruminating about what 2010 would bring - standard New Year thought processes! But in all of this thinking I had a realisation...and you may think this is a bit slow
of me but sometimes I get swept up in life and forget the important
things. Anyway my realisation was that I absolutely without any doubt love and adore skin care. And because of that I love what I do! So I am so excited it's 2010 because this year at Vitale we have so many great plans. Let me tell you more... The first I will give you a sneak preview of. In April we will be launching the Green Beauty Review, Australia's first review site dedicated to natural & organic brands. A collaborative effort from skin industry experts, you can expect product reviews, informative articles, video blogs, give aways and much, much more!  It's Valentine's Day on 14th of February. Despite being a little cynical, my secret hope is for a bunch of flowers or a little treat! So if it is a day you celebrate we have some lovely indulgent gifts - facials, massages, body oils and more. Also look below for some great to do ideas on the day. On the blog and You tube over the last month the following
topics have been covered - have a look/read: Until next month.
Best wishes,

Slow Aging with Antioxidants
Every day we are exposed to air pollution, sunlight, smoke and more all
which give rise to the production of "free radicals". Damage to our
DNA, protein  (collagen & elastin) and protein remodeling (skin
healing) are all side effects of the production of free radicals.
Internally the metabolism, the effects of stress and emotions and the
result of everyday body process that utilize oxygen all create free
radicals. Externally ultraviolet light from the sun and environmental
stressors such as smoking, pollution, poor dietary habits and chemical
exposure also contribute. The production of free radicals and the
damage they cause is one of the key mechanisms of aging. As one ages,
the skin's structural foundation weakens. Specifically, collagen which
keeps the skin firm and elastin which maintains elasticity and helps
prevent the skin from sagging. Free radicals attack your skin's
collagen and elastin layers, accelerating the creation of fine lines
and wrinkles.
 Skin-aging caused by free radicals occurs over time however, the
damaging effect of free radicals is exacerbated in the presence of an
antioxidant deficiency which can accelerate this process considerably. Consider
for example the skin of a smoker aged 40 years compared to a
non-smoker. In this case, the antioxidant defenses of the skin are far
outweighed by the production of free radicals as a byproduct of the
daily cigarette habit. Much research has been done with regard to the
benefits of antioxidants to combat the production of free radicals.
Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals that harm the cells, causing
damage and premature aging. Specifically antioxidants help to maintain
the health of the skin cells such as collagen and elastin which keeps
skin supple. Finish reading this article

Romantic Activities for Valentine's Day
Planning the night out with that special someone this Valentine's Day? Or are you creating the time and space to indulge yourself? Either way delight your senses with organic body and bath treats this Valentine's Day.
A Bath for 2
A romantic bath for two can be fun, flirty and more than a bit sexy. For a touch of mystique, a light cover of bubbles can do wonders. Bubbles can cover all the right places, show off the parts you want to and leave the viewer wanting more. Choose a bubble bath that contains no SLS so that your skin feels soft and smooth once you have finished.
Alternatively you could try a milk based bath powder such as Remedica Tiare Flower Creme Bath Salts, an intensely scented coconut milk based bath powder that creates gorgeous, relaxing and moisturising soak.
Massage and More
When it comes to a Valentine's Day treats practice responsible hedonism by giving your loved one a massage. Whether for relaxation or promises of more to come, remember you are giving a gift so enjoy the experience and look forward to what you will receive in turn. Choose a natural massage oil, as apart from anything else, they are non-toxic and edible! Avoid massage oils containing lavender as it may be too relaxing and instead choose one that contains oils such as Ylang ylang, Neroli, patchoul, Clary Sage and Black Pepper.
Create Kissable Feet
When it comes to daily routines, our feet are often neglected. Prepare for Valentine's by starting with your feet. Clean off any dry skin, scrub the soles of your feet and apply a rich moisturizer to soften the skin. Remedica Hydra Heel is a luxuriously nourishing, protective treatment to smooth, hydrate and relieve dryness of even the neediest skin. Finish of creating kissable feet by applying red nail polish (of course!).
Kissable Lips
To create soft and kissable lips, gently rub over your lips with a face washer or face scrub. This will exfoliate any dry or dead skin from your lips. Then apply a  natural lip balm rich in beeswax to hold in moisture. Once your lips are feeling soft and sensual, apply your lipstick - sexy & seductive, or gently passionate.
Sexy and seductive, red lipstick create kissable lips and evokes promises of more. Minerelle Marie lipstick is the perfect 1940's blue red for a bold statement of love. For a softer, gentler passion, try the plumy-pink shades of Minerelle Abbey lipstick. |
