1 Spring 2011 FABULOUS FACE CARE! ENJOY YOUNGER SKIN

2 SKIN CARE: TOP TIPS FOR HEALTHY, YOUNGER SKIN! Don t have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics! Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process. Get started with these tips: 1 Be gentle! Daily cleansing can take a toll on your skin, so keep it gentle: Limit bath time. Exposure to hot water during long showers or baths removes oils from your skin. Limit your shower or bath time and rather use warm water. Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers. Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin. Moisturise. 2 Manage stress To encourage healthy skin - and a healthy state of mind - take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back on your to-do list and make time to do the things you love. 3 Protect yourself from the sun The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots and rough, dry skin. Sun exposure can also cause problems such as skin cancer. Avoid the sun between 11pm and 3pm. Always apply suntan lotion. Invest in a sun hat. 4 Don t smoke Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients such as Vitamin A. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin - fibres that give your skin its strength and elasticity. 5 Drink Water! It is important to keep your body hydrated!

3 THE PERFECT REGIME Follow a beauty regime every day with a range of products specifically developed to fight the signs of ageing. Cleanse Wash with a facial wash twice daily. Tone Apply a toner after cleansing. Day Creams versus Night Creams Night creams contain higher levels of active ingredients to help boost skin repair as well as to moisturise it. Day creams on the other hand will focus on hydrating the skin while also protecting it from the environment in the form of sunscreens and anti-oxidants. PONDS AGE MIRACLE OVERNIGHT REPAIR CREAM Expertly fights fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps visibly reduce the appearance of age spots. Moisturise Apply a moisturiser in the morning and before going to bed. PONDS AGE MIRACLE DAY CREAM SPF15 Enriched with Vitamin C, Micro Collagen and SPF 15 to protect against age-accelerating UVA/UVB rays for effective caring and protection from sun damage. GIVE YOUR EYES SOME TLC The skin around our eyes is 10 times thinner than the rest of the skin on our face so it needs extra care! As we grow older, the collagen levels in our body decreases and the skin loses its elasticity and becomes thinner. Being more delicate than other areas, this area is where you can spot the first signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles and crow s feet. Therefore, it demands extra care and nourishment. Puffy Eyes? PONDS AGE MIRACLE DUAL EYE-THERAPY UV This dual formula eye cream features two formulations one to target the upper eye area and one to target the lower eye area. Talk about an eye for detail! Some helpful tips to avoid puffy eyes every morning: Limit your intake of salty foods. Drink more water to prevent dehydration. Avoid rubbing your eyes roughly when removing make up and contact lenses.

4 BEAUTY FOODS Great looking, youthful and radiant skin requires a holistic approach. Healthy foods not only improve your health, but also improve the look and feel of your skin and give you a healthy, radiant glow. Nuts are high in Vitamin B Complex, which helps with skin cell regeneration. It will give your skin a more youthful appearance and will also help fight the early signs of ageing. Snacking on a handful of raw almonds or adding a sprinkle of seeds and nuts to your cereal every morning will also give your skin some of the good fats it needs to remain clear and luminous. Fruits with a high Vitamin C content can do wonders for your skin s appearance. Vitamin C prevents pigmentation clumping (which leads to age spots) and strengthens capillaries so they don t break or bruise easily. Eat fruit that is low in kilojoules and high in nutrients. Some great berry options are grapes, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries and strawberries. For a nutritious, energizing snack, try frozen seedless grapes. It s simple...pluck the grapes off their stems, place them on a baking tray and place them in the freezer for an hour or two. Eat immediately! KEEP IT YOUNG! Facial Massages! Make time to treat yourself to a regular facial massage. Performed daily, or at least once a week, it will promote healthy, glowing skin. Exfoliate! Exfoliation is an essential component of any anti-ageing skincare regime in order to promote cell renewal and younger, healthier skin. Choose a cleansing product which incorporates exfoliating benefits. WE RECOMMEND PONDS AGE MIRACLE DAILY REGENERATING FACIAL FOAM A daily regenerating cleanser that helps fight the signs of ageing through gentle micro-exfoliation. It cleanses thoroughly without leaving skin dry or flaky which helps prevent dullness and enhances the skin s natural radiance. Facial massages help prevent wrinkles as they relax the muscles and stimulate blood circulation. They also help with your general wellbeing. An aromatherapy massage will also help to relieve stress and tension.
