BODY TREATMENTS

Paraffin Wax Treatment for Hands & Feet

Deep conditioning treatment to soften and smooth your feet and hands.

* 3 blocks paraffin wax
* 3 oz. vegetable oil
* 20 drops of essential oil
* a few drops of olive oil
* plastic sandwich bags

Melt the paraffin, oil, and the scented oil in a double boiler. Be sure to use a double boiler for safety purposes. Very carefully pour the wax into a greased foot tub and wait until a skin has formed on the top of the wax. At this point the temperature should be about right for submerging your hands and feet.

Be sure to test a little on your wrist first to make sure it is cool enough. Thoroughly wash your hands and feets and pat dry with a soft cotton towel.

Smooth on the olive oil and be sure to cover every inch of your hands and fingers or feet and toes. Dip each hand or foot into the wax repeatedly until you have several layers of wax built up.

Have someone help you put on the sandwich bags onto each hand or foot and then relax for about 30 minutes. For added benefit, place a bath towerl over your hands or feet while you wait.

Now to remove the wax.. Simply peel it away. Start at the wrist or ankle area and pull it down. It should come off in large sections. Follow with a hand and foot massage.

SOLUTIONS FOR DRY ELBOWS AND KNEES

Start by using a good body scrub to exfoliate in the shower. Next mash-up pineapple in the blender and rub it on your elbows and knees.

Leave it on for about 15 minutes so tha natural enzymes can do their work. Shower it off and follow up with thick lotion. You'll be amazed at how soft your skin feels!

DRY SKIN FULL BODY TREATMENT

Heat almond oil in a Pyrex dish until warm, slather all over your body.Standing outside the shower, turn on the spray till the water is hot, closing the shower curtain or door till steam forms. Now enter the shower and stand under the steam (not the hot water!). For 10 minutes, feel the oil slip into your skin. Next stand under the warm - not hot water - for 10 minutes... Then wash it usual.

BLEMISHED SKIN FULL BODY TREATMENT

This treatment is great for broken-out backs.

Add enough water to crushed almonds or cornmeal to make a paste. Stand in the shower and apply your meal paste all over your body, massaging it vigorously, first with your hands, then with a loofah or body buff-puff.

The skin will look clear following your shower.

NUXE TONIFIC MINCEUR BODY CARE

95% of WOMEN have cellulite and most of them are unhappy about it...

Cellulite is truly our worst enemy. It settles in, without any invitation, it invades our hips, thighs and knees... giving our skin the bitter taste of orange peel. Learn the wonder of this 2 products!

IS THERE ANY HOPE

The Nuxe range offers hope with an extraordinary slimming program that fights the 2 main types of orange-peel skin appearance: adipose fatty deposits and infiltrated fatty deposits.

What you need to know about cellulite...

What creates cellulite in our body?

Our body produces fat to build up its energy reserves, to ensure its thermal insulation and provide protection from impact. This fat is stored in the form of trigylcerides (molecules formed by 3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol) in specialised cells, the adipocytes, whose metabolish comprises two key active phases:

--> Lipogenesis, the process by which fat is formed

--> Lipolysis, the mechanism by which stored fat is released

Cellulite appears when there is an imbalance between the formation and the release of fat, in other words when more fat is stored than it is released. The adipocytes then increases in size and number. In addition, this phenomenon is accompanied by the accumulation of water and toxins, the impairement of the vascular system and a visible change in the tissue knows as "orange-peel skin".

ARE THERE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CELLULITE?

With age, and different external factors such as diet, sedentary lifestyle, etc... cellulite evolves and goes through different stages.

The 2 most common types of cellulite are:

--> Adipose cellulite characterised by a dimpled appearance of the skin due to the accumulation of fat in the adipocytes (adipose fatty deposits).

--> Infiltrated cellulite characterised by a dimpled appearance of the skin and a swollen sensation due to the compression of the vessels by the adipocytes (infiltrated fatty deposits)

Adipose and infiltrated cellulites are generally associated with one another: as they increase in size, the adipocytes compress the tissue and slow down the elimination of water and toxins.

EXPOLIATE BEFORE ANY SLIMMING PROGRAM!

As we all know, exfoliation is the basis of all good care treatments. It is necessary for the body to:

1. Make the skin more receptive to the active ingredients

2. Refine the epidermis

3. Stimulate cell renewal
