"If the dry skin and bad hair days of winter are getting you down, it's time to take action," says Ylla Wright from Australian Table.
Unless you're hitting the ski slopes, chances are you've had enough of winter and all it brings with it: parched, dry lips; skirts clinging with static electricity; hard-to-tame tresses. Sure, those crisp mornings were great when they first appeared early in the season, but now it's all about hibernating in front of the telly with a DVD and a family block of chocolate.
Take positive steps to beat the winter blues by treating yourself to a little seasonal TLC So what if no-one else knows whether you've waxed your legs or not? You will, and that's what really matters.'
Some ideas to feel and look great for the season:
See what is available for that new look in nail colour.
Give your skin a premium face and body mask to detoxify sensitive skin.
Work on heels and elbows. Buff rough heels with a foot paddle or pumice stone and massage in cream.
Give your hair a work over with deep conditioning treatment.
Feel invigorated with an energizing shower gel or relax with and body wash.

Crystal - Does It Work?
Can a crystal really be used as an underarm deodorant?
Does it work? Definitely yes!
After using this crystal deodorant for a year without any complaints from anyone, I believe it to be the answer to the problem of aluminum in the usual deodorants.
Now readily available in all good health stores and pharmacies, the most natural deodorant you will find. It is ideal for anyone who has sensitivity to regular deodorants or just looking for a natural option.
How does this work? Well...crystal deodorant works naturally, by keeping the bacteria on the skin from multiplying. The crystals on the skin impede the growth of bacteria by raising the pH level of the skin and forming a high alkaline environment. This stops the bacteria dead in their tracks - and the result - no more odour!
Crystal deodorant leaves you feeling fresh and clean throughout the day and it is available in a plastic bag - ideal for use at home, in a protective push-up acrylic tube, and a sports tube - with a soft neoprene cover.
Mannatech Inc. has seven products in the Optimal Skin Care System delivering maximum moisture and nutrients to facial skin cells, leaving you with glowing, more youthful-looking skin. After only one use you will enjoy noticeable improvement in skin hydration.

Avoid Strong Chemicals on Hair
Surveys show at least 50% of women believe they have sensitive skin!
After being told by an engineer, (who new heaps about chemicals and additives), that I should only use pure soap (like Sunlight) to wash my hair and not colour or perm my hair, I have been vigilant in looking for natural products for my hair. Products which would not harm my skin.
After all they put patches on ones skin to stop smoking!!
Eight out of ten shampoos sold in Australia still contain 'sulfate' cleaners like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which researchers warn can produce a dry, itchy scalp and dandruff as well as corrosion of the hair follicles leading to hair loss. Others contain olefi sulfonates, which may be even more irritant. A popular alternative to SLS, its cousin sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), undergoes a chemical process which makes it a little less irritant but may leave it contaminated with 1.4 dioxane.
Most at risk are those with a recognised skin condition or just dry, red or itchy skin or scalp, infants, chemotherapy patients and the elderly. Sufferers of multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue or allergies may also want to avoid some cosmetic ingredients.
So now I have found Al'chemy from the The Purist Company, where they don't use any of the 'nasties' - no cheap sulfate cleansers, no ethoxylates and no toxic preservatives. Their shampoos and conditioners are just great for all types of hair and conditions.
Mannatech Inc. also has scientists at the cutting-edge of nutritional science. Glyconutrients are necessary for optimal health. Glyconutrients are generally missing from our diet but essential for health and well-being in all humans.

Facts to Keep Skin Clear and Radiant
Taken from 'Go' magazine Issue 3 'Beauty From Within' adaption
For skin that is clear, healthy and full of vitality and radiance:
- Limit caffeine, sugar and salt intake.
- Avoid too much alcohol. This can dilate capillaries, which may cause sagging and wrinkles.
- Reduce processed and fried food intake.
- Limit carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrate intake can cause high blood glucose levels, which create inflammatory conditions and have damaging effects on your skin.
- Don't eliminate all dietary fat - good fats keep your skin soft and supple.
- Plenty of good quality rest is important. Skin is like a mirror - it reflects what is happening in your body and mind.
- Get exercising - which helps improve peripheral circulation, which in turn ensures the skin receives sufficient oxygen and fluid
- Free radicals flourish when stress is present! If stressed try yoga, massage, aromatherapy or B-group vitamin supplementation.
- Avoid the sun - UV radiation is the greatest cause of premature ageing because it damages collagen and produces free radicals that harm the skin. Wear a hat and sunglasses.
- Exfoliate weekly - this helps to rid the skin of its superficial dead skin layer and give you a healthy glow.
- Ensure that skin products you use are as natural as possible and therefore less likely to 'clog' the skin pores.
- Have a positive attitude and surround yourself with people who recognise your inner beauty and you will shine!

Technology Making a Serious Difference
The Real Story that US ABC’s 20/20 Investigators Missed
ABC’s 20/20 story on Mannatech – Why did ABC not finish their investigation on Mannatech?
By Mark Johnson, June 2, 2007
'.......Dr McDaniel has published research based on accepted testing methods demonstrating that supplementation with glyconutrients greatly increases the production of adult stem cells in the human body........'
'......... When you pick up the Star, or the National Enquirer, you sort of figure that
things they write about are likely untrue. The sad thing is that shows like 20/20 portray an air of sophistication and lead you to believe they’re “investigative journalists.” Now we can see that they are not reporters, they are entertainers. This is classic “yellow journalism.”
I hope this has helped clear the air about the intent of the 20/20 show. Fortunately, the truth is that we do have technology that is making a serious difference, helping to restore people's lives. Understand that we need not worry about such trivial nonsense from the media - it is to be expected.......'
