Australasia – Emu Oil

Used by the Aboriginal people of Australia for thousands of year’s this fantastic natural skin care product has recently been making news around the world, and has been praised by celebrities from Demi Moore to Paula Radcliffe.

There are several properties that are thought to underpin emu oil’s success. Like a lot of oils it is a great moisturiser, but where its differs is that its fatty acid make-up is very similar to that of human skin and so it is seen to be absorbed much quicker than other oils and comedogencity (pore clogging) tests have shown that emu oil has a score of less than 1, which means that it won’t clog up pores and cause irritation.

Furthermore emu oil is packed full of essential fatty acids (Omegas 3 and 6) and is also high in Omega 9 (often referred to as the third essential fatty acid). These omegas are vital for healthy skin and act as nutrients to keep it in peak condition. The oil is also thought to be a natural anti-oxidant.

Finally emu oil is now a registered anti-inflammatory in Australia and there have been many studies published in leading journals showing the oil reducing swelling. This has led to the oil being used on irritated and inflamed skin for its powerful soothing properties and it has also become popular as a soothing muscle and joint rub.

Europe – Sea Kelp

It is said that the women of Scotland have been forever tied to the sea and the secret of the deep, perhaps helping explain a unique beauty trick that is now being used across the Globe.

Large kelp forests exist in the ocean that are home to huge eco systems; providing a unique three-dimensional habitat for marine organisms, but the seaweed is also seen to help keep hair in tip-top condition. Kelp has been found to be high in vitamins A, B, C, and E, which when applied to hair fortifies follicles and creates shine. Wild sea kelp is also a naturally rich marine source of iodine. Iodine is an essential constituent of thyroid hormones, which help to control the metabolic rate of the body, and therefore sea kelp, when taken as a supplement, is also thought to help with weight loss.

You can now buy shampoos with sea kelp as a main ingredient, but if you want to try making your own, mix 1 tablespoon of kelp powder with 2 cups of warm water, and massage into your scalp for two minutes. Then rinse away to fortify your follicles!

Yay they’re back, lol.  The gang is back and Lauren is going on another new date with Doug.  Heidi’s sister is coming for a visit and she will be just as surprised as us all to find Spencer living in the apartment again…they really should learn how to lose the door when they talk about someone, lol…How Rude!  So was it me or was Lauren and Doug’s date a bit DRY?  So Spencer obviously doesn’t like Heidi’s sister as he continues to be rude.  Anyway Lauren throws Audrina a birthday pool party and Lo continues to be catty and stank.  Heidi’s sister is thinking about moving to the Hills, lol…and Spencer doesn’t want to let her stay while she gets on her feet, the future looks grim already.  After the party debacle Lauren tells Lo to go have a talk with Audrina…and the cattiness continues.  I mean I thought Lo was supposed to be going over there to make and effort but she obviously doesn’t want Audrina around, I like that Audrina didn’t back down though.

WHO DO YOU THINK IS IN THE WRONG AUDRINA OR LO?

Asia - Sea Buckthorn

If you’re serious about looking after your skin you’ll know the importance of the essential fatty acids, Omegas 3 and 6, and will be sure to include oily fish like salmon in your diet. There’s another Omega however, which could be just as important for beautiful skin, that has been forgotten about here in the UK. Omega 7 is thought to help with the fluidity of bodily membranes, like those found in the skin, and helps with cell regeneration.

The richest known natural source of Omega 7 is Sea Buckthorn, a shrub that grows in several countries across Asia, but which is particularly prevalent in China, where it has been used in Chinese medicine for hundreds of years.

Whilst the berries of the Sea Buckthorn plant have been hailed as an ‘exotic’ superfood, with numerous uses and being rich in many important nutrients, it is their effect on the skin that has received the most attention.

Traditionally the oil from Sea Buckthorn has been used to treat a host of skin conditions and help the skin to re-grow and rebuild, and as such can help leave your skin feeling and looking young and radiant. Studies have now supported this use of the oil and it is thought to be largely Sea Buckthorn’s high content of Omega 7 that is behind the benefits. The effect of Sea Buckthorn on external membranes has led to further research into how supplementation can help with digestive and genital tract lining problems.

The show opens up and the teams are called into action immediately as the red phone tells Laverne, Boris, kimberly and Suzanne to get packing for a Parisian assignment.  Their assignment is to find a model who is located in Paris and get her to come back to New York for a photo shoot, while the other team members had to plan an ad campaign, all in 4 hours. Diddy is CARAZY! lol but hey if you want to work for him you got to make it happen. With 2 hours left both teams are frantic and it’s not looking like either one will succeed with Kimberly and Suzanne lost and Laverne and Boris lost in Montmartre.   Looks like the Uptown team has finally caught a break as they do find their model first, but lets see how that goes, lol…luckily Laverne and Boris found their model and Boris is smitten.  The team members back home aren’t very cohesive as they try to put together outfits and a set up for their ad.  While the Downtown team has a professional stylist, the Uptown team opted to use Kim as their make up artist and stylist, WHY? Uptown is completely unprepared and seemingly unimaginative while The Downtown team seems to have it together more…but Deon, Boris, and Laverne will be up for the chopping block if they lose, lol…since Boris looks like he’s bored half the time and Deon doesn’t mesh with the team and Laverne kept changing the slogan.  As soon as I saw both ads I immediately loved the Downtown photo, but the Uptown slogan was better.  In the end the Uptown Team finally won.  Well Deon is hilarious as he voices his opinion against Capricorn, who also failed to mention he had previous advertising experience which takes him and Boris to the Panel. Tonight’s weakest link was Deon, deservingly so…he shot himself in the foot. GOODBYE!  Next week is gonna be dramatic and hilarious SEE YA THERE!
