Although you may not be in Fiji physically, you have the opportunity to treat your skin & sense to the Pacific Island ways.

Reflected in the Pure Fiji products are, pristine environment, a bounty of fresh and natural ingredients, and traditions that have been in place for centuries – all utilised in a healthy way of living that comes so integrated in the Fijian culture. We would feel it impossible to maintain the enthusiasm we have for this product range, were we not convinced and assured that this product was of good quality…. but more than that – something special. A unique product, bringing a timeless secret of well being and health to our clients.

Looking past the product and understanding the brand itself has revelled a great sense of community and group spirit. The team of people that support the production process and the communities that provide the raw materials are a major part of this operation. Without this network of community connection, Pure Fiji wouldn’t have been able to survive and grow.

Pure Fiji’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and corporate offices are located on a two-acre property in Suva, capital of the Fiji Islands. The Pure Fiji complex boasts an internationally renowned Day Spa, Health and Wellness Centre, Yoga, Pilates and Fitness studio, as well as a herb, spice and vegetable garden.

Pure Fiji is the only cosmetic manufacturing company in the South Pacific and passionately advocates premium natural products while respecting the Fijian people, culture and environment. Pure Fiji’s sustainable manufacturing practices help support several villages and funds schools, health care, nutrition and basic infrastructure for hundreds of people in Fiji.

Botanical ingredients such as the blend of nut oils are wild-harvested, which means they select the nuts from trees that grow in their natural habitat. This reduces the requirement for energy, dependent irrigation and fertilisation methods thus limiting their carbon impact on the environment. Leaves and herbs are collected by hand and distilled fresh on site for each batch of product  produced. Care is taken to only remove a few plants, flowers, or branches, so plenty remains to continue the supply.

The finest quality plant oils and extracts are utilised in every formulation. Pure Fiji products do not contain ingredients which commonly cause allergies or problems to sensitive skins and should therefore prove suitable for the vast majority of discerning consumers.

They also, do not test on animals & all bottles are PET grade 2 recyclable!

So when you next purchase a Pure Fiji product you can sleep peacefully at night, knowing not only that you have high quality natural based skin care! But that YOU are also supporting a company that positively impacts the people and economies of the local Fijian communities.

Welcome to the Fiji experience!!!

 

Following a recent client’s healing massage experience from one of our beauty and massage therapists, we wanted to share her story with you and to also let you in on some amazing facts about massage and why it’s so good for you!

One of our clients was recently overtaken by a heavy cold with all the usual unpleasant symptoms (congested sinuses, tickly, mucus cough, fluctuating temperature, fatigue). She was finding the cough, in particular, hard to shake, so Una (one of our master beauty/massage therapists) was called in to help!

Una got to work by first attending to the client’s pressure points on her feet – and much to the client’s surprise, she found it very tender in some of the spots Una was pressing. This was enough to give Una an indication as to what parts of the body the cold was affecting the client as well as the type, length and strength of massage the client needed. After Una had finished the massage, the client revealed “she instantly felt better”, and she “couldn’t believe how her cough practically stopped from then on”. “It was like something was blocked and Una was able to free up the congestion so it could drain away!”

We were over the moon that Una was able to use her skills and experience to help our client feel better!

So let’s start with pressure points…

In Chinese Medicine, feet have numerous pressure points that are believed to be powerful in regulating or maintaining good health. According to this practise, every part of the body is connected to one of the 15 pressure points on feet, and if these points are pressed correctly and for the right amount of time, cold and flu symptoms may be relieved.

When you mix pressure point work with massage, you get an amazing healing combination to improve overall health and wellness!

So the cooler mornings and dark evenings have set in….autumn is here and winter is looming…but it’s not all doom and gloom…this time of the year brings plenty of fun change to our lives! Not only do the trees glow beautiful golden hues, and we get to bring out our fab winter wardrobes with boots, stylish jackets and warm winter makeup colours, but we also get to revamp our skincare regime! Just like our clothes, we need to swap our skincare products to suit the season so we continue to radiate all year round!

Firstly let’s take a look at how this change of season effects our skin…

Cooler autumn and winter weather tends to be drier and have less humidity than summer. The drier the air the more moisture is sucked from our skin, which is why we often experience dry and flaky skin, as well as ezchema, in winter!

If you work in an environment with a blasting heating system all day, this again reduces humidity, resulting in dehydrated skin.

The cooler seasons can stop us feel as thirsty as in summer, which can result in a lower level of fluids being consumed! This is an obvious one as the less water we drink the more dehydrated we become. If a person is completely healthy and has no physical problems, Cialis 20 mg not cause any significant changes in diastolic and systolic pressure of the human body, if you compare it to a placebo in a lying and standing position. Also, there are no special changes regarding the patient’s heart rate. There is no change in the ability to recognize color differences. Visual acuity, state of pupils and eye pressure remain almost unchanged. Therefore, there is no cause for concern.

Lastly, although hotter showers and baths on chilly mornings and evenings make us feel warmer, and are a lovely way to relax, they can strip our skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling tight and dry!

So how do we overcome these factors?

Richer, more nourishing skincare product alternatives are key to ensuring your skin is protected from drying out and staying hydrated! And we’re not just talking about your face…your whole body needs nourishing moisture during autumn and winter!

With the start of a new year we have put our thinking caps on about what we want to achieve this year and how we are going to further enhance our services to our clients to help them achieve great results! New Year’s resolutions often include something to do with our health – eat healthier, exercise more, get enough rest and so forth. So here is one of our missions that we are excited about for 2017 to help our clients achieve beautiful skin from within!

With the arrival of our edible cosmetic range, Bestow Beauty, last year we have learnt so much about nourishing our bodies with the right foods to achieve radiant, glowing skin and our overall health. Our bodies are exposed to many damaging effects from today’s environment and fast paced, technology filled lives, so now’s the perfect time to start protecting ourselves! It is evident what we put into our bodies effects our wellbeing, so we are so excited to have Bestow Beauty available to you. Here is a bit about Bestow Beauty and how this incredible range works to bestow beauty and health from within (the natural way!).

Around 10 years ago Bestow Beauty founder Janine Tait was alarmed by the amount of radiation we were suddenly exposed to from new technology, such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops. Knowing radiation increased the amount of free-radicals and how they eroded health and damaged skin by breaking down collagen and speeding up the ageing process, Janine got to work to come up with a way to tackle this problem head on. Discovering it was pretty impossible to escape these devices and their damaging free-radicals, Janine decided to instead protect her body by increasing her anti-oxidant levels. ‘Anti-oxidants are incredibly valuable compounds which neutralise free-radicals in the body’. This was the beginning of something truly amazing – and to cut a long story short, the creation of Bestow Beauty Powder and Bestow Be Cleansed, followed by Bestow Berry Beautiful! We are completely hooked on these delicious, beautifying blends of nutrient-rich plant powders. They are packed with antioxidants to bestow health and radiance to your skin. Full of minerals, vitamins and amino acids, they are beneficial for skin, body, hair and nails. The cool thing about these ultimate health boosting powders is you get to be creative with how you eat them – add them to your favourite smoothie (our Bestow Recipe books and Journals have amazing smoothie recipes!) or juice, yogurt or cereals. Our Bestow range doesn’t stop there too, Janine and her team have produced many more beautifying products including Beauty Oils, Capsules and Organic Teas. The Bestow Recipe books and journals are also packed with healthy, tasty recipes (all refined sugar free) and advice and tips on achieving health from within, using food. Check out one of the many Bestow Beauty smoothie recipes below and if you have a favourite smoothie recipe we would love you to share it with us!

We love Bestow Beauty and all that they stand for and we look forward to passing on to you the goodness this brand brings to our Clinic.
