			You can be assured that no matter what concern you have with your skin, we have it covered with our two ‘highly active’ professional skincare lines and internal edible cosmetics . . . Janesce Organic Skincare Janesce is a skin care range with a difference. Our focus is on skin and it’s needs, because a healthy, well functioning skin is more likely to remain beautiful and be better equipped to resist premature ageing. The Janesce skin care range has been formulated by a naturopath not a cosmetic chemist. Our priority and interest lies in skin health and the treatment and support of the skin as an organ. Designed to compliment our internal skin treatment programmes, the Janesce range of skin care products reflect the principles that we believe constitute a healthy diet – pure, plant-based, wholesome and free from synthetic additives such as emulsifiers, stabilizers, colours or perfumes. . . . read more The Australian sunshine, organic growing conditions and unpolluted air assist in producing high quality botanicals from which powerful active principles for the range are extracted. The varieties of the plants used in the Janesce range have been chosen because of their powerfully therapeutic effect. These plants are steeped in varying mediums to create the potent ‘active’ extractions that separate Janesce from any other skin product. The harvest from the organically composted garden is used exclusively in Janesce products. Nurturing the plants is as important as creating the cream base or lotion of the product. At last we have an effective, safe and environmentally sound skin care solution for all our skins. The Janesce secret to keeping skin healthy is to mirror the natural activity of your skin. This is about the balance between sweat glands that help to keep your skin hydrated and oil glands to keep your skin soft and protected from environmental conditions. Beautiful hydrating Janesce mists and the Janesce soaking ritual maintain hydration on the surface of your skin while the liquid herbs absorb deep in to the lower layers to condition and retain humidity in and around the cells. Janesce moisturisers, rich in organic plant extracts are applied over damp skin after misting or soaking to ‘lock in’ humidity while the fine nut and seed oils melt into the skin to nurture, soften and protect. From this simple principle ‘wet the skin and lock it in’ comes the mantra for all Janesce skin care rituals. And the rewards are improved skin texture, a more even complexion as balance is restored, and a velvety softness that stays with you throughout the day. When the skin is healthy, new cell growth is encouraged and premature ageing slows. By creating the correct nutritional balance for your skin with organic plant extracts, Janesce applies the same principles as internal nutrition. This belief is supported with Janesce lifestyle and vitality programs that guide you through dietary menus to give your skin internal support. You will look good and feel even better. ASAP Skincare & Makeup Beautiful skin enhances people’s lives. Beautiful skin builds confidence and self-esteem. At ASAP we offer scientifically proven skin care solutions for women and men of varying skin types. Our success is based on the use of active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and antioxidants to create simple skin care that has fast-acting visible results. ASAP keeps its product range concise and affordable so that caring for your skin is a simple pleasure every day. ASAP works hard to make beautiful skin easy. The active ingredients in ASAP’s skin care products have been scientifically tested and proven to produce impressive, fast-acting visible results. Drawing on AHAs, Vitamin C, Vitamin A and antioxidants, our active ingredients promote younger, fresher, healthier looking skin. By encouraging cell renewal and providing protection from environmental damage, ASAP products help clear blocked pores, stimulate production of new collagen and reduce the build-up of dead skin cells. Thanks to the active ingredients in the ASAP range, your skin will benefit from enhanced elasticity, texture, and firmness. The result – a glowing new you. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS (click to view) ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS (AHAs) Derived from various plant sources Glycolic Acid is the most active and beneficial of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). AHAs gently loosen the glue-like substance that hold dead cells to the skin without removing the skin’s moisture barrier, revealing fresher, more radiant looking skin. With consistent use, AHAs work beneath the skin's surface to lighten pigmentation caused by sun damage and stimulate collagen production. By increasing collagen production skin becomes firmer and fine lines and wrinkles less visible, resulting in a more youthful appearance. VITAMIN C Is an essential ingredient needed to produce collagen in the skin. Its powerful antioxidant action helps prevent free radical damage caused by ultra-violet light and environmental pollutants, resulting in reduced skin pigmentation and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. CERAMIDES Are natural lipids (fats) and a major component of skin structure. These fats allow skin to retain moisture and work to repair the moisture barrier of dehydrated, ageing and sun-damaged skin. VITAMIN A (Retinol) Assists in skin rejuvenation by stimulating new collagen and improving skin elasticity, texture and firmness. This antioxidant assists in the reduction of blocked pores and pigmentation, resulting in improved skin radiance. CoQ10 (CoEnzyme Q10) Contains exceptional antioxidant properties to maintain vibrant looking skin and reduce the signs of ageing. CoQ10 can help repair damaged cells, counteract free radical damage and assist with the production of collagen and elastin. GREEN TEA Is naturally rich in antioxidants to help protect the skin from free radical damage. Green tea will not dry or irritate the skin and provides excellent anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. SALICYLIC ACID (Willowbark) Has the ability to penetrate and exfoliate inside the pores, as well as on the surface of the skin, making it effective for reducing blemishes and clarifying the skin. It also has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. PYCNOGENOL Pycnogenol is a potent antioxidant, more powerful than Vitamin C. Extracted from Marine Pine Bark, this naturally occurring antioxidant helps protect the skin from free radical damage, promoting healthier, more youthful-looking skin. LACTIC ACID A naturally occurring AHA (related to Glycolic Acid, although less active), found in milk and honey. Lactic Acid is an effective exfoliant with powerful moisturising properties. ALOE VERA Renowned for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, Aloe Vera is commonly used to assist with healing. ZINC OXIDE An effective sunscreen whereby particles have been reduced to ensure a translucent coverage. SWEET ALMOND OIL Emollient oil extracted from the nut of the sweet almond tree. Sweet almond oil is known for its many skin benefits. While suitable for all skin types, sweet almond oil is particularly effective for dry skin that is prone to irritation. The oil is light, moisturizing and easily absorbed. CHROMABRIGHT™ A new active ingredient with a significant lightening effect on the skin. Helps prevent skin damage caused by UV radiation and inhibits tyrosinase activity, which plays a crucial role in controlling the production of melanin. NIACINAMIDE (B3) From the family of B Vitamins, it has been shown to stimulate collagen and new fibroblasts. Helpful for addressing skin discolouration and effective in reducing water loss from the skin and increasing skin hydration levels. HYALURONIC ACID Binds moisture to the skin and helps it retain moisture. Supports the formation and maintenance of collagen and is the skin's natural water retainer. HYDROSALINOL A powerful ingredient that has been shown to limit water loss from the skin and increase hydration. IDEBENONE Closely related to CoEnzyme Q10 in its structure, this powerful anti-ageing antioxidant brightens the look of the skin, provides an environment for cells to repair themselves and help decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Bestow Beauty Oil & Powder Bestow Beauty Oil Bestow Beauty Oil is a wonderful food for skin. It’s your edible cosmetic, making your skin soft, smooth and velvety. Bestow Beauty Oil is able to do this because it contains high levels of Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) that are not only vital for your health but also the beauty and vitality of your skin. Unlike most fats, your body cannot produce Omega-3 and -6 this is why they are called vitamin F. We have created Bestow Beauty Oil: a blend of organic, unrefined, extra virgin seed oils cold-pressed from FLAX (omega 3) and GOLDEN FLAX (omega 6) to provide you with a source of these Essential Fatty Acids. Bestow Beauty Oil is a bit like fish oil only better tasting and containing more essential fatty acids for your wellbeing.

FAQs (click to view) WILL IT MAKE MY SKIN OILY? No, it is not capable of increasing the oil flow of your skins oil glands. But what it does do is ensure that the oil your skins glands are producing is protective, healing and not as likely to block causing congested skin. WILL IT HELP IF I HAVE BLACKHEADS? If your skin is prone to being oily, greasy or more inclined to blackheads in the pores, this can be due to a diet high in saturated fats or a lack of essential fatty acids. By taking bestow beauty oil and reducing your intake of saturated fats, you can correct this imbalance and have beautiful smooth skin once again. WHAT IF I HAVE SKIN PROBLEMS? A lack of EFAs in the body is the main cause of most skin conditions. If the body’s intake of EFAs is not adequate it will use inferior fats to build skin cells. These skin cells can then be susceptible to toxins and irritants in the environment such as pollen, soaps, foods and various chemical allergens. Conditions such as ECZEMA, ACNE, PSORIASIS can respond well to Bestow Beauty Oil. WILL I PUT ON WEIGHT? Fats fulfill many important functions in our body and we cannot survive without them. Fats are blamed for many health problems, but it is now clear that this is a dangerous over-simplification. Some fats are healthy, others are unhealthy. Bestow Beauty Oil contains Omega-3 essential fatty acids that actually help you keep slim by increasing your metabolism rate. This helps your burn fat more rapidly and gives you more energy. Another way in which Omega-3 fatty acids can assist with weight loss is that they can help your kidneys to get rid of excess water retained in body tissues. WHAT DOES IT LOOK AND TASTE LIKE? Bestow Beauty Oil is a clear, golden oil with a very mild nutty flavor. It gives food a delicious creamy texture and can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes. WHERE DO THE INGREDIENTS COME FROM? The flax and golden flax seed comes from the blue flowered, annual crop grown organically in the South Island of New Zealand. HOW LONG BEFORE I SEE A DIFFERENCE? To see results in your skin can take between 10 days and 6 weeks depending on your current intake of EFAs. They not only promote beautiful skin, but also protect against disease and sustain health and wellbeing through regular use. WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO USE BESTOW BEAUTY OIL?
