LOOKING GOOD IN
LATERLIFE
Emu Spirit
Emu oil has been praised for its regenerative and
moisturising properties by some of the World’s biggest stars, with
the likes of Demi Moore and Goldie Hawn swearing by its anti-aging
properties.
The oil is held in
such high regard, by stars and therapists alike, for several
reasons. Firstly it is one of nature’s best moisturisers, both
adding moisture to the skin and helping retain it once it is
there. Unlike other oils however emu oil is quickly absorbed by
the skin and studies show it has a score of less than one in
comedogencity (pore clogging) tests, which means that it won’t
to clog up pores and cause irritation.
The oil is also
jammed packed full of essential fatty acids (Omegas 3 and 6)
as well as Omega 9 (often referred to as the third essential
fatty acid), which are vital building blocks for healthy skin.
Emu oil is also thought to contain natural anti-oxidants which
help fight oxygen free radicals, the main culprits behind aging
skin.
Perhaps the most
important aspect of emu oil though are studies that show it
has regenerative properties. Skin defects that have emu oil
applied to them show cell regeneration at up to twice the normal
rate, showing the oil has massive potential as a true anti-aging
product.
The Pioneer
Trading Company are Europe’s leading emu oil suppliers and own
the leading brand of oil, ‘Golden Emu Oil’.
This Autumn sees
the company launching a new range of emu oil products to the UK
– Emu Spirit. Already hugely popular in Australia the Emu
Spirit range of beauty products are high end anti-aging skin
care products, with the lead product being a Moisturising Day
Cream.
The Day Cream has been specifically formulated to visibly reduce
the appearance of fine line wrinkles and combines emu oil with
Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and squalene, to enhance the unique
penetrating, moisturising and nourishing action of emu oil and
add fullness and glow to all skin types. The cream imparts a
light, but invisible moisture barrier which actively promotes
natural moisture retention and helps reduce exposure to
environmental dangers. The cream also contains a UV absorber to
help reduce radiation effects.
Also in the Emu
Spirit range are a hydrating night cream and a moisturising soap
bar. The new Emu Spirit range, along with Golden Emu Oil,
products are available directly from the Pioneer Trading Company
by visiting their website at
www.pion-tc.co.uk
or calling them on 01526 344971 / 345613.
