Massage plays many roles in helping to stimulate the healthy functions of the body. It is one of the most effective means of applying essential oils that work synergistically with massage to detoxify the body. The action of massage on cutaneous and subcutaneous structures enhances circulation of blood and lymph, which results in an increased supply of oxygen. The boost in circulation and oxygen aids the body in the removal of built up waste products and toxins. Massage strongly influences lymph flow – in fact, it has been shown in studies to increase lymph flow rate by seven to nine times. Massage also helps tone underworked, cramped and weak muscles.

There’s no such a thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving healthy, beautiful skin.

Since ancient times, people have used cosmetics to try to improve their skin and to hide the effects of ageing. While offering the hopeful user the promise of being a “miracle in a jar”, until recently, most creams remained simple, old-fashioned moisturizers in progressively more modern and expensive packaging.

The introduction of vitamin A into skincare formulation was a groundbreaking moment, because it offered benefits to sun-damaged skin.  Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field. In the 1980s, he was one of the first to use vitamin A in high enough dose for a genuine, measurable effect on the quality of the skin. [...]
