freckles sun damage

Freckles are part of your genetic make-up and cannot be “removed” or lightened without

severely altering [damaging] the DNA of cells.

Freckled skin is usually also sun sensitive and using the facefacts Moisture Shield SPF 8 could prevent damage from daily exposure to UV-rays.

If skin is already sun-damaged with pigmentation marks [not freckles] the Essense Skin Detox, Essense Derma Bright and Forever Young Revitalising Cream should be added to help restore and repair cells.

This will also minimise your risk of premature discolouration and wrinkles.

fi rst wrinkles

Skin moisture depends on the balance between the transfer of water from the dermis to epidermis and the loss of moisture due to evaporation.

Damage of the protective coating makes the skin dry, coarse, infl exible and this is why fi rst wrinkles appear.facefacts Moisture Shield with added vitamins, nourishing oils

and active ingredients provides an immediate and prolonged moisturising effect, elasticity and protection from free radicals.

To recharge skin also add Forever Young Q10 Therapy and Essense Skin Detox.

clogged pores

TIP: To refi ne skin and reduce pore size – rinse skin with Annique Green Rooibos Tea.To unclog pores – cleanse with the facefacts Smooth Over scrub, then apply the facefacts Calm Down Masque for 20 minutes. Rinse with Annique Green Rooibos Tea.

Remember to moisturise as often as possible with the facefacts Moisture Shield.

NUTRITION: Clogged pores could be the result of a diet lacking essential fatty acids – omega 3 [from fl ax seed]; omega 6 [from fi sh oil] and omega 9. Take the minimum Forever Healthy nutrients PLUS add the OptiMega and OptiDerm.

What you eat today, you wear tomorrow!Possible side effects of allopathic treatments for acne:

CONTRACEPTIVE PILL“It is well-known that girls taking the pill between the ages of 13 and 18 can increase their risk of getting breast cancer by 60%. This is because undeveloped breasts contain more stem cells, which are vulnerable to the known cancer-promoting effects of hormones in the pill.” (Patrick Holford - eminent nutritionist).

This pill increases the need for Vitamins B6, B12, folic acid and zinc. Even with modern lower-dose pills, women taking them have a higher chance of blood clots.

ROACCUTANE (ISOTRETINOIN)This drug, a synthetic relative of Vitamin A which, while reducing acne in about 90 percent of its users, can cause side effects like dry skin, heightened susceptibility to sunlight, nosebleeds, headaches, and joint muscle pain. The most dangerous side effect of isotretinoin is that it can cause serious birth defects if taken during pregnancy. There have also been cases of depression reported in users of this drug.


One of the biggest mistakes teenagers make when trying to make acne breakouts disappear, is to dry the skin out and remove all natural oils by using soaps, scrubs and masques; according to Cornè Wiid, one of Annique’s Top 50 consultants from Kimberley.

“Teenagers often feel a moisturiser worsens the problem and I actually used this routine of drying out my skin, before I started using Annique at the age of 20. The Annique products that worked for me were Lucid Ultimate Moisturiser for Dry Skin, Forever Young Revitalising Cream and Forever Healthy capsules,” she says.

When explaining problem skin to clients, Cornè says she divides the skin into six different categories. “Clients are usually unsure what oiliness, dryness and dehydration means in teenage or younger skin, about how it looks and what the causes and cures are for acne skin. Acne skin almost always goes hand in hand with dehydration and sensitivity,” she says.

According to Cornè, moisturiser is critically important in calming down and nourishing the skin and the skin needs to be protected and kept clean as often as possible. “It is critical that the skin is not overstimulated, usually through over-exfoliating. Knowing the pH balance of an acne skin is important as the pH can make the acne better or worse,” she advises.

Liquid Skin Nutrition

Q: What is Liquid Skin Nutrition (LSN)? A: A vitamin and mineral enriched spray for your skin. It helps skin cells to utilise nutrients better and cleanses pores deep down to prevent spots, pimples, blemishes, blackheads and white heads.

Q: What results can I expect from using LSN? A: A clear, healthy, beautiful skin. LSN will help clear up problem skin and bring new life to normal and dry skin types.

Q: Why is the LSN in a spray formula? A: Spraying it onto the face and other areas is quick, easy and convenient. It also allows you to apply it over your make-up throughout the day.

Q: Why do I need to use LSN? A: To preserve your beautiful young skin, to improve the general health of your skin and to help clear up problem skin.

Q: I take essential vitamins and mineral capsules daily. Why do I still need to apply LSN on my skin? A: The skin is the biggest organ of the body. It receives vitamins and minerals last after all the other organs have received their share. This means that if your other organs need these vitamins and minerals, the skin might not receive enough to support its functions. Spraying vitamins and minerals directly onto the skin allows it to get these directly.

Q: I use the normal Annique skin care range. Can I use the LSN in conjunction with this range? A: Absolutely! The LSN will add boosting vitamins and minerals that your normal Annique skincare products won’t. These nutrients will improve the working of your other Annique products.

Q: Can I replace my Lucid, Hydrafi ne or Synergy Freshener with LSN? A: No. The Fresheners are used to balance the pH of the skin after cleansing and to close the pores after all products have been applied. You can apply the LSN after your normal Annique creams, just before the Freshener.

Q: What is the difference between the a normal Freshener and LSN?A: LSN is spray vitamins and minerals for your skin. Fresheners regulate the skin’s pH that keeps the skin’s immune system intact. This prevents skin problems, ageing and other skin ailments.

Q: Why is there no pH balancing product in the Face Facts range? A: All the products in the Face Facts range are pH balanced and will not disturb the delicate pH of the skin.

Q: Does LSN replace any product in my normal skin care routine? A: No. LSN is a completely new and different product to any other products in the Annique and Face Facts ranges. It will enhance the working of all your other nourishing and revitalising creams.

Q: Why is LSN also benefi cial for mature skin? A: As the skin matures, it loses its ability to function optimally. The skin also becomes thinner, damages easier and its ability to heal itself diminishes. The vitamins and minerals in LSN will be absorbed by mature skin and allow the skin cell to function better, creating an improved appearance in the skin.
