Products used by the Skin Care Café include:
All the pure essentials needed to enhance your skin's natural beauty, boost its performance, slow the ageing process & leave your skin glowing with health. Elixir's simple, natural, user-friendly range of professional skin-care, body & spa treatments supports & enhances the skin's natural processes.
Elixir's nourishing formulas are based on the ancient healing art of aromatherapy, which uses the medicinal qualities of pure essential oils to heal & balance on both physical & emotional levels. Essential oils are highly concentrated substances extracted from aromatic plants; their complex chemistry means that a single essential oil can help a wide variety of disorders. Because these active adaptogens are easily absorbed into the bloodstream, essential oils empower your skin to perform at its very best. Elixir is more than just a treatment - it stimulates all the senses to provide a holistic Elixir experience.

Supplements:
Alpha Lipoic Acid » ALA is a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals to prevent cellular inflammation. ALA controls cellular inflammation, increases cellular energy & vitality, & accelerates the removal of glucose from the bloodstream.
Vitamin C Ester » Vitamin C Ester can reside in the fatty cell membrane protecting the cells against free radical damage as well as stimulate growth of cells that help produce collagen & elastin. It accumulates inside white blood cells to maintain strong immune response, defend against free radicals in the skin created by sunlight, ozone, & harsh chemicals, & accumulates in the central nervous system to fight free radical activity.
DMAE » DMAE stimulates acetylcholine production which in turn enhances mental powers & is also transmitted from nerves to muscles & promotes muscle tightening in the skin. DMAE also acts as an anti-oxidant because it helps stabilize cell membranes, protecting them from free-radical damage by helping cells to expel waste & hold on to valuable nutrients. It may enhance the water retention in connective tissue, causing the surface of the skin to tighten.
CLA » Conjugated Linoleic Acid is an essential fatty acid & specifically an omega-6 fatty acid that is very important to health. It has many properties including preserving lean tissue, is a powerful anti-oxidant, optimizes immune support, improves skin tone & texture, & helps reduce cellular inflammation.
Organic Flaxseed Oil » Flaxseed oil is also an essential fatty acid which is high in omega-3. Like the omega-3's found in fish, the abundant omega-3 acids in flaxseed oil have been shown to improve skin tone & texture, contributing to healthy hair growth, & similarly works to nourish dry or brittle nails, stopping them from cracking or splitting.

(Dr A Scholey, Northumbria University)"Extra oxygen enables you to recover more quickly from exertion. It allows someone to train & then exercise again."

(Dr R De Andrea, Sunday Herald)"There is no doubt that extra oxygen does improve your exercise performance. Conversely, a lack of oxygen (as at altitude), can have a detrimental effect on aerobic exercise & sports performance."
