Anti Ageing PROMATION

Bodytique has designed an anti ageing programme were we look at four aspects that can help with the ageing process. Theses four aspects will be in our news letters from January to end of April 2011.

The arrears which we’ll explore are :

• professional treatments
• products

A CACI non surgical face lift is an electronic beauty treatment using a CACI machine. CACI treatments lift the face by toning facial muscles, smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles and preventing sagging skin.
An overall treatment for the face and neck. This deeply relaxing treatment combines tiny electrical currents to tone the muscles of the face and to gently encourage the skin cells to function more efficiently. Following a treatment, your facial muscles will feel firmer and your skin will look glowing.

The CACI Non-Surgical Facelift treatment has been acclaimed by the international media as probably the most exciting beauty development of the last decade. It is now to be found in the world’s leading clinics, salons and health spas.

The CACI Non-Surgical Facelift treatment helps tighten and tone sagging facial muscles, while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment produces immediate and dramatic results. It works by combining a unique patented electrical waveform (Tsunami®), with the naturally occurring bio-electric current of the body, to achieve instantly visible results on sagging muscles and skin.

The CACI Non-Surgical Facelift has attracted an unrivalled celebrity following, making it the most publicised and talked about treatment in the industry’s history. CACI clients include famous faces from the world of show business, music, media and royalty.
This treatment is for people who wish to tone up their facial muscles and freshen their skin to achieve a healthy youthful glow.
Its like go to the gym, you work your muscles to give yourself a better body shape, so why not work out your face and keep that in better shape too.
The beauty of CACI is that it is actually a pleasant relaxing facial treatment which may be combined with skin products to exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. So lay back on the couch while the CACI machine does the hard work!
Think of CACI as insurance your face, a monthly pampering treatment to keep you looking young

Anti ageing diet.
The general guidelines for an anti ageing diet is to :
* keep your calorie consumption and saturated fat intake down;
* eat plenty of wholegrain, oily fish and fresh fruit and vegetables;
* cut down on salt and sugar.
* 95g protein a day for men and 65g protein for woman

In addition to these general guidelines, there are specific foods that have a roll in anti-aging and that you should regularly include in your diet.

Avocado: is usually eaten as a vegetable, is a good source of healthy monounsaturated fat that may help to reduce level of a bad type of
cholesterol in body. Avocado is a good source of vitamin E and can help to maintain healthy skin and prevent skin aging (vitamin E may also help alleviate menopausal hot flushes). It is rich in potassium which helps prevent fluid retention and high blood pressure.

Neck and throat facial exercises
# 1 A great exercise is to sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling while keeping your lips closed and then start a chewing movement. You will feel the muscles working in your neck and throat area - and will be truly amazed at the results. Repeat 20 times.
# 2 Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, while keeping your lips closed and relaxed. Start puckering your lips together in a kiss and stretch the kiss, as if you were trying to kiss the ceiling. Keep your lips puckered for 10 counts, then relax, bring your head back to its normal position and repeat 5 times.
# 3 Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, while keeping your lips closed and relaxed. Open your lips and stick your tongue out as if you were trying to touch your chin with the tip of your tongue. Keep your tongue out in this position for 10 counts, and then return your tongue and head to its normal position.
# 4 Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, while keeping your lips closed and relaxed. Next move your lower lip over your top lip as far as possible and keep it there for a count of 5. Relax and repeat 5 times.
# 5 Lie on your bed, with your head hanging down over the edge. Slowly bring your head up towards your torso and keep it there for 10 counts. Relax and lower your head towards the floor again - repeat 5 times.
# 6 Sit upright and face forward and while keeping your lips together, separate your teeth by dropping your jaw and then push your jaw forward, keep for a count of 10, bring back to starting position and repeat 5 times
