SERIOUS SKIN CARE ISSUES

Our New Zealand climate & lifestyle, with our UV light, causes our skins to phyto-age much more quickly than other countries & this sun damage brings pigmentation, red veins, lines & wrinkles and pre-cancerous solar keratoses (incidentally, our UV light is as bad during winter as summer). The major cause of photo-ageing is the loss of vitamin A from our skins. In recent years a huge amount of research has been done in this area with the result that professional skin care clinics now have an array of armour against photo damage that will now prevent & repair.

Active ingredients in sufficient strength to be effective against photo-ageing are now being offered only in professional skin-care clinics where therapists can be entrusted with prescribing the correct active ingredients for your skin.

Arome is proud to offer you serious solutions to skin problems with the introduction of the unique Environ Skin Care range. Environ was founded in 1990 by prominent South African surgeon, Dr Des Fernandes who formulated the products with the current climatic conditions & the increase of skin cancers in mind. The unique properties of the Environ products work on replenishing & further protecting the damaged skin by utilising vitamins A, C and E.

Spots, pimples & blemishes. Nearly everyone has had experienced them at one stage or another. For most it is a problem that passes with puberty. However for many teenagers and adults, acne wreaks havoc with their looks and their lives. The potential effects on confidence and self-esteem make acne a health problem that needs to be taken seriously.

For chronic, long-term acne to be successfully removed there are three keys elements that need attention......

Firstly the perceived causes or contributing factors for each person have to be investigated and dealt with wherever possible. The most commonly implicated causes behind acne are hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, chemical or drug reactions, stress, immune system problems and toxicity through impaired bowel, liver, kidney or lymphatic function. Sometimes a combination of factors are at fault. Finding & treating the causes of acne can take time, but in order for long-term success it is definitely worth it.

Secondly, it is important to apply the principles of Holistic medicine to acne as much as any other health problem. The skin is the largest organ in the whole body, it will reflect problems & imbalances from elsewhere, but it will also function, feel & look much better when the rest of the body is working well too. Taking this approach means that the goal is not just an absence of pimples but also the presence of good, overall health and well-being.

Thirdly, the external treatment of the skin is as important as what is taken internally. The skin is a semi-permeable membrane; most things that are applied to it in the form of cream, lotions, ointments etc are absorbed & have an impact on all the layers of a healthy skin. Cleansing & re-toning skin damaged by acne can be possible with specialised beauty therapy treatments. Likewise consultation over the best choice of external medicines & cosmetics can go far to improve the skins overall condition.

TREATING ACNE .
Throughout my many years of working on problem skins, it is my opinion that acne can be one of the most difficult conditions to treat. However I do believe that the holistic approach to the treatment of acne will not only drastically reduce the treatment time but will also achieve the desired long-term success.

After a thorough (free) consultation, I will put together a program for the client to use at home & offer advice on things that we both can do to hasten the healing process.

One of the most successful product ranges I have worked with & recommend to all my clients is the Environ B-Active Range. The five products offered by Environ are intended for twice-daily use (morning & evening), & each contain Australian Tea Tree Oil to help control bacteria & inflammation as well as a mild exfoliant.
