Cellulite is one of those conditions that can affect our skin at any age, the fat pockets that accumulate under the skin group together to cause the bumpy appearance of cellulite that can be a cause of great embarrassment and a lack of self confidence in some sufferers.

As with many problems with our body’s, nature has been very kind to us and there are certain foodstuffs that have been proven to help stop the appearance of cellulite.

 Here Are 10 Of The Best Cellulite Busting Foods

Ginger

Greens

High in an antioxidant called Lutein, recognised for its ability to help skin retain its moisture and elasticity. By increasing the skins lipid levels id reduces the risk of cellulite developing. Leafy greens are also good for the circulation and detoxing the body

Cranberry Juice

One of the main causes of cellulite is a sluggish lymphatic system, Cranberry helps to cleanse and boost the lymphatic system, emulsifying stubborn fat deposits so they are flushed frm the system more easily

Bananas

High in potassium, it helps to reduce water retention, boosts the lymphatic system and helps to cleanse the body of the toxins and impurities that all help to cause the build up of cellulite

High Street Giants Boots have released what they believe could be the answer to the many thousands of women who are looking to increase or firm their bust – without surgery

Many natural anti ageing creams rely on the latest scientific formulas; Boots’ latest addition – called Talika Phytoserum uses a plant based extract taken from a plant called Gulgul, this has been used in traditional medicine for hundreds of years.

The product promises to tone, hydrate, lift and increase bust volume.

How Does It Work

 The extract contains plant based versions of our own hormone oestrogen, raised levels of the hormone encourage development of new breast tissue.

When applied topically, the extract (called phytoestrogen) mimics the effects of the hormone and will over a period of time encourage new breast tissue to grow, boosting both firmness and cup size.

Studies have reported that 80% of women tested reported improvement in volume, firmness and lift.

The product was launched in France last month and 500,000 bottles sold in its first week.

Now available in Boots for just £35.00 and is available to buy direct from Boots online

World famous New York store Saks 5^th Avenue has been selling out of what is possibly one of the more expensive blushers that you can buy – Sisley L’orchidee Palette is being sold for $108 (about £70 to us) and the demand has been so great that they are limiting buyers to just 6.

The uptown beauty mecca has issued a warning that only six can be bought by one individual in any 30 day period.

What Makes This Product So Special

Well the product is packaged exquisitely, it is available in a range of delicate colours featuring the Sisley logo of what resembles an upturned fleur de lis.

The official website only features one review, which (of course) gives it a 5 out of 5 rating.

 The official description of the product reads:

L’Orchidée Palette colors and lifts the complexion with an easy-to-apply luminous veil that can be endlessly adjusted.

‘With just one sweep of the brush, the complexion is illuminated and evened out with an incredibly light, healthy glow. This ultra-light and ultra-fine texture melts away, resulting in a soft and silky powder.’

But Does It Work

 The lack of any real reviews on what is after all, just a blusher in a posh box doesn’t exactly make us feel like rushing out and spending our hard earned cash, for us  it’s way too expensive… think we will be giving this one a miss

Hair removal is something that both us women and men have to do on a daily basis, for men, shaving their face is a boring daily necessity, for women, removing hairs from our legs, under arms, top lip and bikini area can turn into an obsession, especially if we have dark hair.

Did you know that the average woman in the UK will spend over £12000 in her lifetime trying to keep her skin hair free and smooth looking? Another fact is that for every woman shaving her legs etc, around 4500 litres of water are wasted each year just because they leave the tap or shower running while they shave.

US based Cosmetic company Leading Edge have developed an alternative to those harsh chemical based hair removal creams. Natural based using a mix of plant based enzymes, their product – Ultra Hair Away has been shown to reduce hair growth to the minimum, doing away with the need for shaving.

Ultra Hair Away is a unique spray on product that should be applied immediately after conventional hair removal, its natural formula gets to work on the hair follicles to initially slow, and then eventually stop hair growth from any treated areas.

Is Ultra Hair Away A Depilatory

No Ultra Hair Away is a natural hair growth inhibitor, its ingredients are all natural plant based enzymes known as Phyto-Enzymatic-Proteins (P-E-P).

Is Ultra Hair Away Safe

Yes, the natural formulation is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin, it can be used alongside any cosmetics, perfumes and for men – aftershaves, without any problems.

Ultra Hair Away has proven skin conditioning affects, helping to protect skin from becoming dry.

How Long Does Ultra Hair Away Take To Work

Full results can take up to 6 weeks, this is due to the natural cycles of hair-growth, where some follicles are always dormant for a certain period, but initial results are usually quickly apparent, the hairs will grow more slowly and will become thinner and softer, before stopping all together.

Who Can Use Ultra Hair Away

Anybody – both men and women who are looking to remove body or facial hair permanently can use this product.

How Long Does Each Can Of Ultra Hair Away Last

This will depend on where you are using it, if you are treating your face/top lip and under arms, about 7-8 weeks, for larger areas such as your abdomen or both legs around 3-4 weeks and full body just 1 week

Scientists in the USA have discovered that a drug, primarily used to treat eye infections, can, when added to a rub on gel, stop or slow the re-growth of hair.

 Could Shaving Our Legs Be A Thing Of The Past

 Scientists in Pennsylvania discovered that the drug – called Cidofovir, when mixed with topical gel stopped hair regrowth in test subjects for 6 weeks.

Cidofovir is widely used to treat viral eye infections and in high doses can be used to treat those suffering with aids, it was in those patients that cases of alopecia were discovered, and once the link with cidfovir was discovered, they set to work trying to develop a product that would  reduce and even potentially stop the need for shaving or expensive hair removal treatments.

It is estimated that the average woman spends around £12000 on hair removal during her lifetime.

In the studies, scientists experimented with different concentrations of the drug, mixes between 1 and 3% concentration were tried on male test subjects to see if hair growth could be stopped completely.

The men were told to rub the 1% gel on one side of their faces and 3% on the other, they were also told to continue shaving as normal, stopping 48 hours before returning to the clinic for assessment.

The results showed that the gel containing 3% concentration caused a significant reduction in hair re growth when compared to the other side of the face.

Trials are continuing to see if Cidofivor can be incorporated into a gel suitable for general release.

Are There Any Similar Products Available Now

Yes, US based Leading Edge Health have developed a similar product, fully approved and available to buy direct from the manufacturer. Ultra Hair Away is a drug free, 100% natural based hair growth inhibitor that gradually slows and then stops the growth of unwanted hair.

Suitable for all areas, including:

•  Under arms
• Legs
• Bikini
• Arms
• Face

Ultra Hair Away is effective on both men and women and results last for around 6 weeks.

Eco Friendly Too

With the emphasis these days on saving the worlds resources, with every woman using an estimated 4500 litres of water shaving each year, a product like Ultra Hair Away is good for the environment too!!

How Does Natox Work

When injected, Botox blocks the receptors at the nerve endings, stopping the signals to move the muscle, Natox works in a similar manner, small electrocharged particles, reproduce the blocking effect of Botox, this keeps the muscles relaxed, and fine lines and wrinkles diminished, this results in a younger looking appearance and the increased production of natural collagen.

She tells us ‘For anyone wanting a first-hand account of use, I will clearly share that the results are phenomenal…My skin is so tight and vibrant; I just can’t get enough of this stuff!’

How Much Is Natox

Natox costs £89.99, which for a product with this much testing behind it is well priced. There are plenty other premium products out there that cost twice as much and cannot substantiate their claims like Natox.

Natox is available in Selfridges London Store, but for ease and convenience (and the 60 day cash back guarantee) its better to buy direct from the manufacturers

Orders are sent out quickly and discreetly to any address in the world.

High street drug store Superdrug have just opened their first in-store clinic offering amongst other things, Botox injections, fillers and peels.

The new clinics – called Pro Skin Clinics are being rolled out gradually with the first one opening earlier this month.

They are offering services starting from £49 for laser hair removal, Peels for £69 and Botox Injections for £149.00

This is a remarkable saving when compared against other specialist clinic prices which are generally double the Superdrug charges.

Superdrug explain the reduced prices are down to a dramatic reduction in the general profit margin placed on these treatments.

Most beauty treatments with the exception of Botox and fillers (that have to be carried out by medical professionals) can be carried out by trained beauticians.

Our Thoughts

Our general feeling is one of mixed thoughts, yes the price is favourable, but as for having potentially harmful injections at the same place that you buy your cotton wool and nail varnish – we are not sure.

We ourselves would rather go to a professional Doctor and pay the extra..
