The Rooibos Story Discovering Rooibos’ miracles Generations of South Africans have been enjoying the natural sweet and revitalising taste of Rooibos since its discovery by botanists in 1772. Little did they realise the powerful and natural healing properties of this rare and unique plant from the cold, windy, south-western tip of Africa.

1968 – an amazing discovery Dr. Annique Theron discovered the natural healing powers of Rooibos when, one sunny April morning in 1968, she warmed her allergic baby’s bottle with warm Rooibos tea. She was amazed at the instant calming, soothing and healing effect it had on her fourteen month old baby daughter, Lorinda. She set out to investigate this tea’s healing properties and found she stood alone in her discovery of its anti-allergic qualities. However, she soon found hundreds of mothers with children who suffered from similar problems varying from food allergies to eczema, insomnia and hyperactivity in their babies and young children. In 1974 Annique Theron published her findings about allergies in children and adults in her book: “Allergies: An Amazing Discovery”.

Help for adults and babies Rooibos tea has been a trusted remedy for the last five decades among South African mothers. Now Rooibos’ miraculous properties – to cure and soothe, are backed not only by scientific research and international recognition, but also by forty years of mothers’ hands-on experience. If your little one suffers from colic, insomnia, food allergies, stomach cramps or eczema, Annique’s Rooibos tea is the perfect answer to your problems. It is simple to use; simply substitute the water of baby’s bottle feed with Rooibos tea.

Rooibos tea will benefit the digestive system, calm your child and ensure untroubled sleeping patterns.

Annique only sells Super Export Grade Rooibos tea which contains at least 80% Rooibos leaves. Some of the Rooibos tea found on Supermarket shelves contain less than 20% leaves. This is critical since the active ingredients in Rooibos are essentially found in the leaves not the sticks!

Annique receives two gold medals for the formulation of Annique Rooibos products and is the winner of the World Intellectual Property Association (WIPO), International Woman Inventor of 1997 award in Geneva, Switzerland.

Revealing research In the 1980’s Japanese and American scientists found a powerful and stable antioxidant called super-oxide dismutase in Rooibos tea.

In 1995 Infruitec, a South African research company, as well as Dr Charlene Marais of the University of the Free State, found and verified that Rooibos tea did indeed have the following properties: • Anti-allergic; • Antioxidant; • Anti-bacterial; • Anti-inflammatory; and • Anti-viral; • No caffeine and very • Anti-spasmodic; low tannin from pure • Anti-ageing; Rooibos leaves.

Rooibos tea is enjoying increasing popularity around the world.

Nutrition from Mother Nature Because Rooibos tea is low in tannin, it won’t deplete baby’s natural iron reserves during pregnancy or feeding while the protein absorption and metabolism remain undisturbed. It also contains calcium to ensure normal development of teeth, bones and the nervous system, as well as magnesium and zinc for healthy skin and hair.

Because Annique’s Rooibos tea has a natural sweet taste there is no need to add sugar or honey to baby bottles. Parents love it too.

Rooibos: A multi-wonder It is well known that the benefits of Rooibos tea extend far beyond the seams of the actual teabag. Worldwide scientific research was done on this indigenous South African herb, Rooibos, over the past 20 years.

Other benefits of Rooibos include:

The Rooibos plant in full bloom in October

Asset for Physically Active

Preventing Cancer

Rooibos is believed to quickly replace sodium chloride lost through sweating.

The tea has also become a respectable alternative to cold refreshments for sportsmen, manual workers or other people who labour under high physical strain, due to the proportion of mineral nutrients and micro nutrients in Rooibos.

Flavonoids in Rooibos work as antioxidants – a major protagonist in preventing cancer – as well as in slowing down its progress.

Research found that, as a major cause of cancer is damage of the genetic material, the rising level of glutathione associated with Rooibos tea could prevent genetic damages from happening.

Due to a polyphenic-rich extract in Rooibos, this indicates potential for use in cosmeceuticals for sun protection and as part of a strategy for preventing non-melanoma skin cancers in humans.

Boosts Immune System Scientists believe that antioxidants in Rooibos significantly elevate antioxidant levels in blood, boosting the body’s internal defence system against disease. Antioxidants protect the living body from the deleterious effects of free radicals.

relieving spasms.

Slowing Ageing Process Laboratory studies and studies done with animals show that the tea could possibly slow the ageing process, including the progression of dementia.

Soothes Skin Irritations and Acne Rooibos helps to soothe skin irritations and is also excellent for skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis. It helps to soothe nappy rash and improves acne. Rooibos tea contains no harmful chemicals or preservatives, which may produce allergic reactions or further skin damage.

Lower Risk of Heart Disease Researchers also found that biomarkers associated with cardio-vascular disease are significantly reduced by drinking Rooibos tea.

May Control Diabetes A study in Japan found that aspalathin in Rooibos tea helped to improve the glucose uptake of muscle cells in Type 2 diabetes, thus helping to maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Fights Allergies Rooibos can help fight allergies by boosting the production of cytochrome P450, an important enzyme that helps to metabolise allergens. Japanese researchers found that when Rooibos is consumed regularly as a beverage, it helps to improve the allergy status as a result of the increased levels of this enzyme in the body.

Soothing Stomach Cramps and Colic Anecdotal evidence also suggests that Rooibos acts as a digestive aid and anti-spasmodic, thereby relieving stomach cramps and colic in babies, as well as symptoms associated with pancreatic sufferers.

Rooibos is also used to relieve nervous tension and stomach and bowel irritation, easing the painful symptoms of urinary system diseases such as prostitis and cystitis.

Lowering Blood Pressure Chrysoeriol in Rooibos acts affectively as a bronchodilator, with an associated effect on lowering blood pressure and

Replacing Hormones Plant-derived oestrogen, Phytoestrogen, has the potential as an alternative for oestrogens in hormone replacement therapy.

Rooibos contains zinc, which is essential to the skin’s metabolism, as well as its own natural alphahydroxy acid, which is believed to smooth and refine fine lines and wrinkles.

Pumping Iron Rooibos has a low tannin content (only 1 - 4%), which means that it doesn’t inhibit the absorption of iron (something that black tea does).

Protecting the Liver Researchers in Spain found evidence that Rooibos protects the liver against the accumulation of fat and can help to prevent metabolic disease. It also helps to reduce cholesterol, tryglycerides and free fatty acids.

Heartburn Rooibos tea can possibly aid in the relief of heartburn, as it has antispasmodic properties which have been known to calm heartburn.

Help for Insomnia Rooibos tea is frequently used as a natural home remedy to help insomnia.

100% Good To conclude: Researchers know of no side effects associated with the use of Rooibos tea, so it can be consumed freely. It is also safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women and young children.

Stretching from the shores of Africa to the hustle and bustle of Hollywood, Rooibos is as famous as some of the celebrities drinking it. It was served at the wedding of celebrity couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones. So we are in really good company.

This statement is further enhanced with scientific research recently done on this wonderful tea, especially regarding antioxidants. It was confirmed that Rooibos tea is the only source for aspalathin, that is exceptionally beneficial and a rare antioxidant.

The combination of antioxidants in the tea has the ability to measurably elevate the antioxidants in the body to a peak within one hour of drinking 400 - 500 ml. What this means is that your internal defence system against diseases gets a significant boost.

THE NEVER ENDING ADVANTAGES OF

Rooibos

With the spike in unhealthy living, high stress and high blood pressure and related illnesses, it is necessary to look at all avenues to prevent or treat these, mostly lifestyle diseases. Another antioxidant found in Rooibos tea in limited quantities is chrysoeriol which prevents and treats vascular diseases. These are life-threatening diseases we are aware of as ‘my arteries are blocked’, or ‘I have high blood pressure problems’ to even ‘my arteries have hardened’.

These don’t sound very problematic, but they are. More than what most of us think until it is almost too late. Another research study found that an enzyme found in Rooibos can In summary, the following scientific research was done on Rooibos with exceptional results: • Rooibos is very high in antioxidants, especially green Rooibos, which means the levels of antioxidants are higher than black, green or honeybush tea.

• Rooibos can prevent and treat vascular diseases • Rooibos can promote a healthy heart • Rooibos can treat high blood pressure • Rooibos can increase hair growth • Rooibos has anti-cancer properties • Rooibos is beneficial in treatment of acne • Rooibos contains no caffeine • Rooibos is low in tannin

actually promote a healthy heart. After drinking Rooibos tea, this angiotensin-converting enzyme is significantly decreased and inhibited. And as the research has show, it is this exact enzyme that is believed to be directly involved with the development of cardiovascular disease. The inhibitors of this enzyme are used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease.

Dear consultants, let us take a lesson home with us from the beautiful Catherine Zeta Jones and start getting our husbands, fathers and sons, ourselves, and our families to drink Rooibos tea.

• Rooibos helps with nervous tension, allergies and digestive problems • Rooibos alleviates baby colic, allergies, asthma and skin problems • Rinsing with Rooibos can protect your skin against infections and fungus • Rinsing your skin with Rooibos can prevent and alleviate acne and skin irritations • There is an extract of Rooibos used for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes • New research is being done to investigate the plant-derived estrogens in Rooibos for their potential as an alternative to estrogens in hormone replacement therapy … so this is one to really ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 4

Research into

anti-ageing

properties of Rooibos promising There has been a major increase in recent research into the ability of the Rooibos plant to restore and reverse the effects of ageing and local scientists have found the theory of Rooibos being beneficial in countering the ageing process not as far-fetched as some may think.

T

his is according to the South African Rooibos Council, who say the most accepted theory of ageing is the free-radical hypothesis, where organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. Rooibos is rich in antioxidants, which bind and neutralise free-radicals and prevent them from damaging cells.

Professor Maryna van de Venter, of the department of biochemistry and microbiology at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, explains that one of the characteristics associated with ageing is the progressive redistribution of body fat. She says there is less body fat in the places where it should be and more in the places it shouldn’t be, which can result in substantial clinical consequences.

“A decrease in the fat layer under the skin leads to cosmetic changes such as wrinkles, sunken eyes and skin folds and an expansion in abdominal fat can be associated with increased risk of age-related diseases, including insulin resistance, diabetes and heart disease,” says Prof van de Venter.

According to her, preadipocytes, the cells where fat cells develop from, represent between 15% and 50% of the cells in fat tissue and are likely to have a significant influence on the growth and function of fat cells. Studies show that over time preadipocytes lose their ability to multiply and develop into mature fat cells.

“Scientists are not yet sure why this happens, but they believe inflammation of the fatty tissue, oxidative stress and the introduction of factors which prevent the cells from dividing may contribute to this,” she says.

Prof Van de Venter’s research is currently investigating the potential influence the antioxidants contained in Rooibos may have on these mechanisms thought to cause preadipocyte dysfunction.

Preventing this may slow or even reverse age-related adipose redistribution and associated cosmetic changes and health risks.

According to David Philips, a contributing author at Present Health, a website providing natural health answers, Japanese scientists already performed studies in the 1960s discovering Rooibos contained powerful antioxidants similar to Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) which is thought to retard ageing.

He says Rooibos is also found to contain aspalathin which counteracts the processes that result in heart disease so the Japanese promote Rooibos Tea as an anti-ageing tea and import large quantities of the tea.

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries have been searching a long time to restore and reverse the effects of ageing. This increase in research by prominent researchers at South African universities and science councils, collaborating with experts around the world, contributes to better understanding of the benefits of Rooibos and will provide scientific evidence to substantiate its antiageing properties, beyond what is already known about its antioxidant capacity.

A recent study by the Diabetes Discovery Platform and the InfruitecNietvoorbij Institute has found promising capabilities of the Rooibos plant to lower blood sugar levels which is good news for all Diabetics. team of South African researchers released results in October 2012 of a Diabetes study showing the beneficial effect of Rooibos on blood sugar levels.

The study found that an Aspalathin-enriched extract of Green Rooibos is able to lower, raised glucose levels in the blood.

According to the South African Rooibos Council, when Aspalathin (Aspalathus Linearis), an antioxidant found only in the Rooibos plant is combined with Rutin, another key ingredient in Rooibos Tea, the two ingredients together, succeed in lowering the blood glucose levels monitored over a six hour period. This could have the same effect as drugs that are currently available on the market to counter Diabetes.

The study was conducted by the Diabetes Discovery Platform from South Africa’s Medical Research Council (MRC) and the South African Agricultural Research Council’s (ARC) Infruitec-Nietvoorbij Institute. It was carried out with extracts of Green Rooibos prepared

by Prof Lizette Joubert of the ARC, analysed by the MRC and the results were published in the online version of the Phytomedicine Journal.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), Diabetes will affect 439 million people around the world by 2030. Currently 6.5 million South Africans have Diabetes, although experts feel that number may be under-reported. The disease develops when the body does not produce enough insulin, a hormone that enables cells to absorb glucose from the blood and convert it into energy.

Dr Johan Louw, of the MRC and team leader of the study, says their team of researchers are the first in the world to discover this effect with Rooibos extract and their work confirms the constituents present in Rooibos could prove beneficial in the fight against Diabetes.

“Rooibos has many compounds with different effects at different concentrations. On its own Rutin has no effect while Aspalathin has a slight effect, but when they are combined the results are remarkable.

We believe Rooibos can provide a basis to develop a standardised anti-Diabetic product. In a country like South Africa. Where a large section of the population relies on herbal medicines, such a product could be of huge value,” he says.

“Our focus as scientists is the promotion of healthy lifestyles and a healthier population, not just in South Africa but all over the world, so don’t hesitate to drink that cup of Rooibos as part of a good diet,” he says.

Prof Joubert of ARC says their Rooibos research to date, focused mostly on the antioxidant activity of Rooibos, but this evidence of its ability to lower blood glucose levels opens up new and exciting possibilities for this unique South African herb.

“We now need to dig deeper to determine the optimal combination and ratio of the active compounds such as Aspalathin and Rutin in controlling blood glucose levels, and also understand the exact mechanisms involved,” she says.

Happy Tea Annique’s Happy Rooibos Herbal Tea is a natural relaxant, which has a lovely texture in the mouth and a rich finish. Happy Tea can elevate your mood and provide a general feeling of wellbeing.

The mood-elevating action of sceletium is created by a number of alkaloids, including mesembrine, mesembrenol and tortuosum, which interact with the brain’s receptors. Research results have shown that sceletium has a remarkable ability to effectively treat the symptoms of anxiety.

In addition to sceletium’s common use for stress and mental fatigue, it has been used as a natural supplement against anxiety, stress and tension and for energy enhancement.

Sceletium has traditionally been used as an appetite suppressant, as it helps to curb food cravings, yet is not habit forming. Sceletium is also known to reduce addictive cravings particularly with regard to nicotine, and lessens the withdrawal effects of alcohol.

Sceletium

Sceletium tortuosum is a small groundcover plant native to Southern Africa. For hundreds of years the Khoi of Southern Africa used Sceletium tortuosum as a mood enhancer, relaxant and empathogen. It is also known as Kanna or Kauwgoed, Kougoed and Canna.

Historically Sceletium tortuosum was chewed, smoked or used as snuff producing euphoria and alertness which gently fade into relaxation. If chewed in sufficient quantity Sceletium has a mild anaesthetic effect in the mouth, much like kava, and is used by the San tribes if you are about to have a tooth extracted or in minute doses for children with colic.

Directions: Pour boiling water in cup, add one teabag of Happy Tea and let it steep for 2 - 5 minutes or boil the tea on the stove for 2 - 5 minutes. Drink as is, preferably without milk and sugar. Do not heat the herbal teas in the microwave oven, as the microwaves may destroy antioxidants in the tea.

Antioxidants:

T H E K E Y T O H E A LT H Y S K I N Food containing free radical fighting antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and flavonoids (which is particularly high in Rooibos Tea), are vital for the battle against conditions such as cancer, cardio-vascular disease and ageing.

The antioxidants and mineral content in Rooibos Tea have a major beneficial effect on general health. Drinking Rooibos daily may: o help fight the free radicals that contribute to chronic diseases such as arteriosclerosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer; o help decrease cholesterol levels in the blood, strengthen veins and lymph vessels, and help relieve tired legs, muscle cramps and various circulatory disorders; o help protect the liver; o maintain healthy bones and teeth; o help improve memory; o counteract anxiety and aid restful sleep; o soothe stomach cramps and colic in infants; o improve appetite; o regulate bowel movements; o enhance metabolism; o help fight allergies; o support healthy skin and ease numerous skin diseases

Sports people are always on the lookout for products that will boost their performance and Rooibos Tea seems to be the new buzz word. One of the first things a sportsman will grab is an energy drink, but Rooibos has been proven to be an even better thirst quencher and a potent source of health protective flavonoids.

Most energy- and sports drinks are made with liquid sugars (glucose and fructose), artificial colouring chemicals, citric acid and emulsifiers like brominated vegetable oil – interestingly they are mostly not healthful, wholesome ingredients.

In addition to the fact that Rooibos contains no caffeine, it's loaded with phytonutrients such as Aspalathin, Quercetin and Luteolin. These plant-based nutrients (which are not found in the mainstream energy and sports drinks) explain why Rooibos is such a powerful thirst quencher.

A human study with 15 healthy volunteers proved that the antioxidants in Rooibos are potent enough to significantly elevate the antioxidant levels in blood, thereby boosting the body’s internal defense systems against disease.

According to a recent survey carried out by an American market researcher, cosmetics tagged with the word ‘antioxidant’ are favoured by the consumer.

The survey revealed that 44% of women buy skin care or cosmetic products that promote their antioxidant content.

“Although innumerable personal care and cosmetic products contain antioxidant ingredients, we estimate products tagged with the word ‘antioxidant’ appealed more to the consumer,” states the report.

Hair and skin products containing Rooibos Tea, cocoa, Green Tea, and pomegranate are mainstays in the antioxidant market, according to the market researcher.

Moreover, they found that formulators are increasingly incorporating the antioxidant power of Red Tea/Rooibos in personal care products whilst becoming more creative at mixing antioxidants, giving consumers the benefit of more antioxidant ‘power’, and of cutting edge formulations.

Rooibos makes a great thirst - quencher and sports drink, because of its mineral content of iron, potassium, zinc, manganese, and sodium, which restores the body's equilibrium after strenuous exercise.

Other reasons why Rooibos is an excellent health drink for sports people Rooibos is naturally free of caffeine and has a relaxing effect on the central nervous system. Rooibos aids your body's natural schedule, stimulating you in the daytime and relaxing you at night. Rooibos contains iron and, unlike other teas, Rooibos actually helps to increase the absorption of iron in the body (due to its low tannin content).

DeTOXing with

It’s time to invigorate yourself. In other words: It’s time to detox - to pep up the body’s organ systems and to clear out the metabolic debris that has gathered in your body over the past few months.

We live in a toxic world – whether you live next to an oil refinery, on a pristine mountain top or in the country – you carry environmental toxins in your tissues.

These toxins affect all bodily systems and have been linked to the development of endocrine, immune, reproductive, metabolic, cardiovascular, cognitive, and behavioural disorders.

The nervous system is especially vulnerable to toxic exposure. A number of neurodegenerative ailments have been linked to toxin exposure, including Parkinson’s disease, ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), learning disabilities, conduct disorders, and certain dementias. Many neurological symptoms of toxic exposure are common and not linked to a specific disease, including headaches, fatigue, impaired concentration, poor memory, and insomnia.

Those are sobering facts, but there are ways to protect yourself:

It’s time to shed the darkness and slower pace. Start preparing your body and mind.

 Minimise exposure and absorption of

products with toxins in the first place.

 Develop a routine to detoxify your body on a regular basis.

 Engage in regular vigorous exercise. Increased respiration, circulation, and perspiration all support healthy detoxification.

 Hop in the sauna frequently. Perspiring is one of your body’s best ways of releasing toxins.

If you are trying to lose weight, make sure to engage in the detoxification practices described above. As you shed fat, toxins stored in fat cells are released. It is essential to cleanse those toxins from your body, rather than reabsorb them, which can cause illness.

Rooibos

plays a part in reducing stress levels

D

uring 2012 researchers at the biochemistry department for Stellenbosch University discovered that Rooibos is able to reduce the production of Cortisol, a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland also known as a stress hormone, which may prevent a number of stress-related diseases.

Professor Amanda Swart and her team of researchers from the university, found that Rooibos contains components that can help alleviate stress and anxiety. Rooibos extracts and compounds were tested in the laboratory on adrenal cells that were stimulated to mimic a stress response similar to that which occurs in humans. It was found that Rooibos lowers the production of Cortisol in the cells.

Aspalathin and Nothofagin, two rare components in Rooibos, were identified as contributing to the stress-lowering effect. By lowering Cortisol levels, the effect of the body’s response to stress is also lowered. The findings were published in The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology during 2012.

According to Swart, Cortisol is a significant part of the human metabolism and plays an important role in the way humans respond to stress. Swart says Cortisol helps regulate fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism.

Studies of the consumption of Rooibos in humans have shown the beverage was able to lower the production of the stress hormone. However, she emphasises that the steroid hormone can be overproduced due to a stressful lifestyle which is linked to a number of diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and Diabetes Type 2. She says keeping Cortisol at normal levels in the blood stream is key to a healthy lifestyle.

According to Marina Joubert, science communicator of the South African Rooibos Council, Rooibos contains antioxidants that fight against lifestyle diseases and protect the body from oxidated stress. She says research over the last 10 years has proven the herb can assist in preventing cancer, protect the liver against disease, boost immune systems, delay ageing, relieve allergies and treat digestive disorders.

Joubert is however adamant that despite all benefits of the herb, Rooibos should not be seen as a substitute for medicine and should not be positioned as a medicine but rather, with its preventative and curative properties as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Researchers recommend that six cups of tea should be consumed throughout the day for Rooibos to be effective. Joubert admits not everyone is able to drink six cups a day, and says alternative ways of consuming it include having it in meat dishes, in potjiekos, as a marinade and in fruit juice.

Keeping children hydrated and healthy on a daily basis is often a serious challenge for Moms nationwide.

Iced Rooibos tea has been proven by researchers to be a natural, delicious thirst quencher, providing sustained health for consumers of the beverage.

Children kept healthily hydrated and healthy by drinking

Rooibos tea

Mothers across the country are often concerned as to whether their children are receiving enough of the right kind of liquids to ensure they are hydrated throughout the school day. Correct hydration is just as important as ensuring children receive healthy nutrition since even mild dehydration can lead to sleepiness, fatigue, headaches and dizziness.

These symptoms can make it difficult for children to pay attention in class and in more severe cases result in delirium or even unconsciousness.

According to Professor Jeanine Marnewick of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Rooibos is a natural thirst quencher and drinking the equivalent of six cups a day, whether hot or cold, will provide a sustained health benefit.

Although many people tend to think of Rooibos as only a hot drink, it is an exceptional flavour enhancer and is naturally sweet, which makes it a favourite ingredient for iced teas, fruit shakes, smoothies, iced lollies and many other tasty treats.

It contains no caffeine, fats or carbohydrates and proven health benefits include boosting the immune system, relieving allergies and preventing heart disease and cancer. Researchers are also investigating the link between Rooibos and stress relief.

Mothers can make a litre of Rooibos tea using four to six teabags and sweeten the tea with honey, leaving it in the fridge to cool overnight. The tea can be kept in

the fridge for up to two weeks.

Moms can experiment by adding mint, lemon, orange, granadilla, mango, apple or a combination of juices to the tea until they find one that their children enjoy. Try mixing 25ml fruit juice with 125ml Rooibos Tea as a start. By pouring some iced tea into popsicle containers or ice-cube trays and freezing it, children will also have fun, refreshing, healthy after school or sports treats.

More scientific evidence shows the anti-diabetic potential of

Rooibos

A study by the South African Medical Research Council, Agricultural Research Council’s research institute and the Universities of Zululand and Stellenbosch indicate that Green Rooibos extract can assist in the prevention of Diabetes Type 2.

A team of South African researchers has found additional evidence suggesting Rooibos may be beneficial in countering Diabetes. According to findings published in the July 2013 edition of Phytomedicine, Rooibos can counteract insulin resistance in muscle cells.

Dr Johan Louw, of the South African Medical Research Council (MRC), says the researchers found that an aspalathin-enriched Green Rooibos extract increased glucose uptake in these cells, made insulinresistant through treatment with a saturated free fatty acid (palmitate). He says an excess of saturated free fatty acids in the bloodstream is associated with insulin resistance, a major risk factor in the development of Diabetes Type 2.

“In a normal individual, the insulin hormone controls the entry of glucose into muscle and other cells to provide them with energy. In type 2 diabetics, the cells become numb, or resistant to insulin.

Glucose would then remain in the bloodstream, leading to high blood glucose levels that could potentially cause organ damage,” says Dr Louw.

The World Health Organisation estimates that 439 million people will have diabetes by 2030, with the major increase occurring in developing countries.

Research carried out at the South African MRC, with researchers from the Agricultural Research Council’s Infruitec-Nietvoorbij research institute, the University of Zululand and the University of Stellenbosch, demonstrated that extracts prepared from Rooibos decreased palmitate-induced insulin resistance in muscle cells.

Dr Christo Muller, of the MRC, says glucose uptake by the insulin resistant-cells increased from 2.3% to 6.2% after three hours of exposure to a Green Rooibos extract. This extract was enriched with aspalathin, the major antioxidant found in Rooibos.

He says with the added Green Rooibos extract, the glucose uptake of the insulin resistant cells was comparable to that of normal cells that were not exposed to palmitate.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 19

“Furthermore, when the researchers stimulated the cells with both insulin and Green Rooibos, glucose uptake increased from about 2% to 9%. An extract produced from fermented Rooibos also increased glucose uptake, but it was less effective than the Green Rooibos extract,” he says.

Dr Muller adds that it is important to remember these results do not prove that a cup of Rooibos is a cure for Diabetes Type 2. They are referring only to improving insulin sensitivity and the beneficial effects that Rooibos extracts have on regulating glucose levels.

“At this stage, the scientific evidence only suggests Rooibos might have anti-diabetic potential.

To understand how Rooibos decreases insulin resistance in the cell line, scientists measure various proteins involved in glucose uptake and metabolism. The experiments indicate that Rooibos extracts may work by ultimately causing a protein known as glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) to become more abundant in the cell,” he says.

CELLULITE

The DermaLIFT can help melt away areas of cellulite and stubborn deposits of fatty tissue, partly by enhancing the effects of anti-cellulite products, like Circulex Cellulite Treatment and Lipo-Sculpt Body Contouring Crème, in removing toxins from the body. The treatment should also improve general skin condition, stimulate blood circulation and encourage lymph circulation and drainage.

JUST SO YOU KNOW

Annique consultant, LINDIE JARDIM uses the following steps when treating cellulite with the DermaLIFT:

STEP

Dry brush with the Body Wonder Sponge, then apply Circulex Cellulite Treatment and a little Miracle Tissue Oil, as it will assist in the lightening of nasty stretchmarks.

Then use the DermaLIFT on the first setting for the first 4 minutes.

Do not wipe off any products. Apply Lipo-Sculpt Body Contouring Crème and Correxion Repairing Body Cream, with some Liquid Skin Nutrition to boost the skin with nutrients. You can also use Miracle Tissue Oil.

Immediately start the next cycle and repeat the process. You can apply more Miracle Tissue Oil and D-Minish Tummy Toning Treatment for the stomach area at this stage.

For the last step you could keep all the products on your skin and complete the last 4 minutes.

Lindie’s clients experienced a visible loss of cellulite within the first two treatments and lost about 5cm’s within the first three weeks by following this routine.

I started treating a muscle spasm in my injured arm with DermaLIFT and ZeroAche+. I was blown away. Soon there was no pain and no knotted muscles - Hannatjie

ACNE

Lindie stated that when she treats acne skin, she always gives the person different options and advice, especially when it comes to the DermaLIFT machine.

Teenagers mostly suffer from acne prone skin but are often too lazy to follow a proper routine.

She recommends that they come to her for regular appointments, or their parents can use the DermaLIFT on them for home treatments.

“Use the DermaLIFT machine every third or fourth day for the first month, as the skin is extremely sensitive and inflamed. After that, a weekly follow-up session on the DermaLIFT machine would be sufficient to keep the skin clear and healthy,” she says.

STEP

Apply the Skin Detox to clean, dry skin, followed by the Normalising Cleansing Milk. With damp fingers on the two silver plates on either side of the machine, slide the machine over the skin in circular movements for the first 4 minutes. Remove the product from your skin with a mixture of Rooibos tea/Relax tea/Green Rooibos tea.

According to Lindie best results are achieved with the Relax tea.

STEP

Apply another layer of Skin Detox to assist in detoxifying the skin and to prepare the skin for the next step.

Then apply Sensi Crème for very sensitive acne skin. This will keep the skin hydrated and assist the treatment products to be better absorbed. Mix with Miracle Tissue Oil to start the healing process of scars and to hydrate the skin and provide lubrication.

Do not wipe off any products. Apply Liquid Skin Nutrition to boost the skin with nutrients.

You can also use Miracle Tissue Oil.

Keep everything on the skin for the night and in the morning rinse the skin with a mixture of Rooibos tea/Relax tea/Green Rooibos tea.

Because acne skin gets very inflamed and sensitive, Lindie does not recommend following this routine every day. “For severe acne it might first get worse before improving and following this routine every third or fourth evening would be sufficient,” she adds.

For the last step you could keep all the products on your skin and complete the last 4 minutes.

Once a week between DermaLIFT treatments on acne skin, you should exfoliate with the Face Facts Smooth Over Scrub to remove dead skin cells and assist in clearing pores. People with acne skin should use the Calm Down Masque for very sensitive and inflamed skin, or Antioxidant Radiance Masque to help remove blackheads and whiteheads.

DERMALIFT your sales

with

Heidi Claassens

The DermaLIFT is not only a product with which to enhance your skin, it is also a wonderful opportunity for you to introduce your business to the rest of the world. Heidi Claassens of Bothaville in the Free State who won the Motivator Award at the 2011 Jubilee, attributes a huge portion of her success to hosting regular DermaLIFT Parties.

“When I market to clients I use the following Annique products with the DermaLIFT:

• • • •

Programme 1: Skin Detox Programme 2: Miracle Tissue Oil Programme 3: Revitalising Cream Programme 4: Q10 Therapy and then the Hydrafine Absolute Balancing Freshener

Heidi recalls that her first DermaLIFT Party started when their women’s movement decided to have a ‘mom’s night out’ evening. “I decided on a DermaLIFT party. I saw it as an ideal opportunity to market the DermaLIFT, as almost 100 women could experience the effect of the DermaLIFT and other Annique products on their skin,” she says.

Heidi continues, “With the regular treatments, you could see that the DermaLIFT visibly improved the skin’s texture and look, and that within a mere 1½ to 2 hours. We emphasise to the ladies that they need ‘time out’ to treat themselves… and what better way to do that than with a DermaLIFT?” she asks.

She adds that, after this particular DermaLIFT evening, they decided to make the DermaLIFT demonstration part of their regular Annique Pamper Parties. She says it makes sense, as you can demonstrate the whole Annique range on their skin, and add the effect of the DermaLIFT as a bonus.

Heidi is adamant that success is possible in any place, even a relatively small farming community like Bothaville. “All you have to do is to grab every opportunity with passion and to not be afraid to take chances. Every woman on earth wants to look good and with Annique, its products and the wonderful DermaLIFT this is possible. It is thus not surprising to me that so many clients are regular DermaLIFT Party attendees,” she concludes.

“This proved to be a huge success, as the women get a salon treatment in the comfort of their own home – and the best part is: at a fraction of the price!” she adds.

Heidi hosts her DermaLIFT Parties in two ways: 1. She follows the normal Annique skin care routine on the whole face and then each attendee gets a DermaLIFT treatment with Miracle Tissue Oil for 1 minute on each of the four programmes. She usually does this over tea time, because the ladies can drink tea and chat while awaiting their turn.

2. She first follows programme 1 with the Hydrafine Normalising Cleansing Milk or the Lucid Calming Cleansing Crème for 2 minutes. She then switches to programme 2 and uses the Miracle Tissue Oil for 2 minutes, as well as 2 minutes on programme 3. She concludes the routine on programme 4, with Sensi Crème, whereafter she applies the Hydrafine Absolute Balancing Freshener.

“Each attendee will first be treated to, for instance, programme 1, before we proceed to programme 2. It works wonderfully if you have more than one DermaLIFT as the women can try the DermaLIFT on each other,” she explains.

SIX WEEKS To test the No DermaLIFT effectiveness of the DermaLIFT, Lizette Labuschagne of Alberton used it on one side of her face for six weeks, with her normal skin care routine.

In the first week she used it every day and thereafter twice weekly. Look at the amazing results after only six weeks!

DermaLIFT for fast pain relief!

Dear Annique I had an accident and my arm was badly hurt. It was bruised and punctured and the colour was between maroon, yellow and green. I treated it with the Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil, which was amazing and it healed faster than I thought it would. I was able to hide my arm under my long sleeves but the pain stayed. My muscle was hard and in a knot and the only way I could get relief was to put on some ZeroAche+ every now and then. It helped a lot and I could function, but as night fell and the temperature dropped, the pain was more noticeable.

So last night I thought since my skin is not broken any more, why not do the treatment up

to my elbow and treat this painful hard muscle with the DermaLIFT machine.

The next morning I was blown away again!!

No pain – no hard knotted muscle – a little skin scab (white) lifted up from where the holes were and the colour was NORMAL with light pink where the skin was broken, even though my arm was tender on the spot when I put pressure, it is pain FREE!!

AMAZING!! Thank you Annique for this wonderful DermaLIFT and I’m sure I will have amazing results after a week and lots and lots of sales.

Ever Grateful Hannatjie

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 11

The dynamic DermaLIFT II has so much to offer

The DermaLIFT II is a unique device which treats the body and face using three interchangeable heads, which include the galvanic ion head, a blue phototherapy head and a red phototherapy head.

The galvanic ion head has three phases which include CLEANSE, NOURISH and LIFT, while the red and blue phototherapy heads have a sole main function. Each phase or function is recommended to be done for a period of four minutes at a time.

DermaLIFT II fights ageing

When the galvanic ion head is attached and the device is set to the CLEANSE phase, impurities are removed from the skin, the pH balance of the skin is restored, the quality of problem skin is improved and deep cleansing takes place.

When the device is set to the NOURISH phase, the elasticity and tone of the skin is improved and the skin is prepared for the LIFT phase.

When the device is set to the LIFT phase, the skin is lifted, becomes firm, muscle tension and frown lines are reduced, skin colour is improved and the collagen structure is restored.

Following treatment with the galvanic head, the red or blue phototherapy heads can be attached for a more specialised treatment for the body. When the red phototherapy head is attached to the device, collagen production is activated and pain relief is triggered, and when the blue phototherapy head is attached, bacteria is broken down, blemishes are cleared, and acne is healed.

Phenomenal phototherapy has proven benefits

Clinical Studies show that red LED light energy, which is cell activating and healing, improves blood circulation and triggers collagen production and tissue growth at an increased rate.

Once the red light penetrates the skin, it is absorbed and light energy is converted to cellular energy, stimulating the body’s natural processes on a cellular level. There is an increase in blood flow, which allows treated body parts to receive oxygen and nutrients to function more effectively. This results in the rapid improvement of elasticity, firming, healing and pain relief of the skin by warming the area exposed to the rays creating a therapeutic effect.

Clinical studies show that blue LED light energy, which is anti-bacterial and cleansing, omits a specific wavelength causing bacteria on the skin to self-destruct. This light energy facilitates fast, natural clearing of blemishes and healing of acne.

(Four minutes)

After using the galvanic ion head, you can fit either the red or blue phototherapy head to the device and gently press it onto the face, neck, décolleté or any other area of concern to start treatment.

When the red phototherapy head is attached to the device, collagen production is activated and when the blue phototherapy head is attached, bacteria is broken down, blemishes are cleared, acne is healed and pain relief is triggered.

Do not move the device while the treatment is being completed. The red light will automatically switch off after four minutes. Move onto another area if additional treatment is required. The red and blue lights only appear once contact is made with the skin.

For your own safety, do not shine red or blue light directly into your eyes. Close your eyes if treatment is done near the eye area. Avoid applying the galvanic ion head or phototherapy heads directly onto eyes.

Cordless, handheld device Rechargeable Contains three interchangeable treatment heads: o Pure titanium galvanic ion treatment head o Red phototherapy lights are beneficial for anti-ageing and for pain relief o Blue phototherapy lights have anti-bacterial properties to fight acne

DermaLIFT II is uniquely different to DermaLIFT The main difference between the DermaLIFT and the DermaLIFT II is that while the DermaLIFT is only intended for use on the face and uses a galvanic ion head (galvanic and microcurrent technologies), the DermaLIFT II is intended for the face and body and introduces additional phototherapy heads (red and blue light technology), along with the galvanic ion head.

Phototherapy is a non-invasive light therapy treatment, where light energy emitted by the red or blue light head, improves blood circulation, triggers collagen production, tissue growth, self-destruction of bacteria, and clears blemishes and heals acne.

Galvanic ion and microcurrent technologies use positive and negatively charged currents emitted by the galvanic head of the device to stimulate blood circulation and metabolism of skin cells, promoting toning and micro-lifting the face. Essential nutrients are transported to the skin, impurities are drawn out of the skin and the effective results of Annique products applied to the skin is improved.

Other major differences between the two machines are that the DermaLIFT II has a titanium plate, while the DermaLIFT has a stainless steel plate, allowing the plate to last longer due to its extreme strength as well as facilitating a better transfer rate of microcurrents.

The galvanic ion and phototherapy heads of the DermaLIFT II cover a larger surface area than the DermaLIFT, which means they are specifically designed to best target the larger surface area of the arms, buttocks, abdomen and thighs and suit the contours of the body. The DermaLIFT II also has individual buttons for every phase of the device making it more user-friendly.

DermaLIFT II RESULTS

It is essential to prepare your body for any treatment you perform on it and it is recommended that you perform dry body brushing with the Body Xpert Body Wonder Sponge before using the DermaLIFT II. Dry brushing is a method of exfoliating the body to allow maximum absorption and working of Annique products while using the device. The effective sponge stimulates blood flow and sloughs off dead skin cells that negatively affect absorption of a product and prevents the effective operation of the galvanic current of the device.

How to use the Body Wonder Sponge and DermaLIFT II The Body Xpert Wonder Sponge is for the body only and not the face. Dry brush the targeted area with the sponge

Cleanse the affected area with your recommended Annique cleanser (use Synergy or Face Facts Cleanser) and dry with a clean towel. Rinse the skin with Rooibos infused water or Green Rooibos Tea and gently pat skin dry with a clean towel. Fit the blue phototherapy head to the device. Follow the instructions on the Cleanse phase of the galvanic ion head. Gently hold the device on the affected area without massaging. The light will automatically switch off in four minutes or after a beep is heard. This step may be repeated if a longer treatment is desired.

Apply Face Facts Spotless Treatment to the affected area. Continue with the rest of your product regimen, including your serum, moisturiser, sunscreen and freshener. Blue light is an effective acne treatment, but not a quick fix. Continual treatment with this device will ultimately result in a clear complexion.

before a shower or bath on dry skin only. Stroke upward in one movement towards the heart. Adjust the pressure to your level of comfort for the different parts of your body and work from the left to the right side of the body. A slight reddening of the skin is normal, it is the blood circulation responding to the skin being brushed. Apply Body Xpert products onto the areas of concern (see the guide to the zones below). Apply Essense Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil to assist the machine to glide easily over the treatment surface area. Never brush over active inflammation or during an active cancer state or over enlarged lymph nodes. Do not brush on sunburnt skin, avoid the breasts and genital area and if pregnant, seek your doctor’s advice first before dry brushing. If an allergic reaction is evident, stop brushing. Regularly wash your Body Xpert Wonder Sponge to remove dead skin.

As a raving fan of the original Annique DermaLIFT, I was eager to experiment with the new DermaLIFT II, especially when I discovered that the galvanic head of the DermaLIFT II is larger covering more area of skin in one movement, and is more practical to use on the body. The head is excellent for maximum absorption of product by the skin and is large enough to use on the flabby arms, buttocks and thigh area. My favourite is the red photo-facial light which is anti-ageing. It is warm on the skin and gives me a sense of healing on my face as it regenerates cell growth. I spend 20 minutes using the DermaLIFT II daily while reading a book, watching news or listening to a podcast. One night I use Skin Detox and Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil or Intense Repair Serum for the entire duration of the treatment, and the next night I use Bo-Serum and Miracle Tissue Oil or Intense Repair Serum. I am able to relax while anti-ageing. Choose an area, work on it daily and see the difference for yourself.

DermaLIFT II is the perfect ‘Me Time’ I tested the DermaLIFT II over a four week period. I used it on my face with the Hydrafine Moisturiser and Forever Young Products (Q10 Eye Therapy and Revitalising Cream and Hydrafine Nurturing Night Cream) and on my hips (for cellulite) with the Body Xpert Circulex Cellulite Treatment.

There was a definite improvement in the texture of my skin on my face and body. The products were absorbed into my skin better than before and cellulite appearance improved. I used the red light for the pigmentation on my face and on my hips and the marks are less noticeable. The DermaLIFT II is perfect for ‘me time’, or while watching TV or reading. It’s easy to use and is the luxury your skin deserves.

It is ideal for the maintenance of a youthful skin and for restoration and rejuvenation of aged skin. Revitalising Cream restores the cells’ ability to retain moisture and stimulates the cells’ own production of collagen and elastin for a faster cell replacement cycle.

The Revitalising Cream is unique. A revolutionary formula for the restoration, renewal and rejuvenation of skin.

S ELL

Collagen is vital for the creation of new cells, but only the body’s own collagen is effective for the production of new cells. The principal aim of the Revitalising Cream therefore, is to restore the cell’s ability to produce its own collagen and to help it retain moisture, as though it is a younger skin.

The Revitalising Cream is recommended for any skin type and age and should never be used without an Annique moisturiser.

Combine with the Moisture Serum for aged and dehydrated skins.

The Revitalising Cream is a tonic that enhances the functions of the other products, and is effectively supported by other products from Annique. It contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos for its hypo-allergenic and antioxidant qualities.

Scientific tests have demonstrated that the new plant based active ingredient VNA10+ is far superior to any active in its class.

Dermatological tests have shown that its anti-allergenic, nonirritating formula is suitable for even the most sensitive skins.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 2

Application: Apply Revitalising Cream after Skin Detox morning and evening followed by your moisturiser.

Spread a small amount (about a quarter of a teaspoon) over palms and press onto the whole face, neck (front and back) and breast area. Press remaining cream onto top of hands.

Eye Therapy Annique’s revolutionary Eye Therapy is a world first with the use of the active revitalising ingredient, Ampsyncol IIITM, to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the eye zone. Eye Therapy also nourishes and repairs the delicate eye area.

This active ingredient provides an effective and rejuvenating agent to restore the skin’s natural beauty by stimulating collagen type III production, thus doubling the synthesis of collagen type III. This will help your skin to become smooth, soft and retain its normal elasticity. The Eye Therapy also contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos for its hypoallergenic and antioxidant qualities.

Eye Therapy will prevent ageing around the eye and mouth area and will help the skin to retain normal elasticity.

Crème de Nuit

Application: Tap the Eye Therapy with one finger once or twice a day on the bone area around the eye. Press cream onto skin and lightly pat until the cream has been absorbed.

Also dab Eye Therapy around the lip area.

Crème de Nuit is a rich, nutritious night crème with an increased moisturising ability that can be used by all skin types, ideal for even the most sensitive skin. It is richer in nourishment and moisture than the normal night cream to provide the extra requirements of the aged skin.

Crème de Nuit is applied after the Revitalising Cream to ensure optimal penetration and ultra-moisturising. In combination with the Revitalising Cream, Moisturiser and Miracle Tissue Oil, it creates a balanced “diet” for the skin.

It also provides sufficient nourishment to the younger skin that does not yet need to use the Revitalising Cream.

Crème de Nuit contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos, which boasts hypo-allergenic and antioxidant qualities. It also contains VNA 10+ a biotechnological plant extract, which is known for its anti-allergenic and non-irritating properties. It can help to fight skin ageing, improves the skin’s elasticity and massively increases the skin’s moisture content.

ageing/historical damage - it removes UV damage, restores elasticity, helps boost collagen production in the skin. It does not remove deep lines and furrows. Bo-Serum prevents signs of ageing and reduces wrinkles drastically - it relaxes the skin so the “memory” of the wrinkle is “lost” and skin remains smoother for longer - use from 15 years of age to prevent ageing.

BO-SERUM Q&A

Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

ANNIQUE’S REVITALISING CREAM AND BO-SERUM?

a: The Revitalising Cream nourishes your skin,

it is preventative and restorative. It repairs damage, stimulates new cell production and prevents free radical damage. Bo-Serum tackles wrinkles and prevents wrinkles forming as a consequence of facial expressions (laughing, crying, frowning etc).

Q: HOW LONG AFTER USING BO-SERUM CAN I EXPECT TO SEE RESULTS?

a:

You can see an improvement after 24 hours - lines, furrows and dryness will improve.

Some people’s skin responds quicker than other’s. After 28 days you will see a marked improvement in lines, wrinkles and dry skin.

After 3 months use, results are optimum. Now the skin will be visibly smoother and more moisturised.

Q: WHEN IN MY ANNIQUE SKIN CARE

Q: WILL MY WRINKLES AND FINE LINES

a:

a:

ROUTINE SHOULD I APPLY BO-SERUM?

Bo-Serum relaxes the skin and should thus be applied first after Skin Detox so that other products that follow can function at their best.

Bo-Serum’s cogon grass ensures that the skin stays moisturised for longer. That’s also why wrinkles stay relaxed for longer - the skin retains moisture better.

Q: HOW MANY TIMES PER DAY SHOULD I APPLY BO-SERUM?

a:

For optimum results, Bo-Serum should be applied twice a day.

Q: FROM WHAT AGE CAN I START USING a:

BO-SERUM?

Bo-Serum may be used from 15 years of age.

Bo-Serum can be used to prevent deep lines and wrinkles. If you frequently form facial expressions, like frowning, you can use BoSerum to prevent wrinkles from forming later in life. Look at your parents and siblings to see what hereditary lines may form on your face later in your life to see where you need to apply your Bo-Serum.

Q: CAN I USE BO-SERUM IF I HAVE HAD

RETURN AFTER I STOP USING BO-SERUM?

Yes, if you stop using Bo-Serum the skin and muscles will “relearn” furrows and fine lines as you form your facial expressions. The timing of this depends on individual skin types and circumstances.

Q: WHO SHOULD AVOID USING BO-SERUM? a: No one. Anyone can use Bo-Serum. People with sensitive skin should use the Annique Sensi Crème for 14 days to desensitise the skin before using Bo-Serum.

Q: SHOULD I APPLY BO-

SERUM ONLY TO SPECIFIC AREAS OR TO MY WHOLE FACE?

a:

Bo-Serum can be used for zone treatment, e.g. specific wrinkles like frown lines, etc. Bo-Serum may also be applied on the whole face, neck and bust to improve moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

FACIAL SURGERY OR BOTOX THERAPY?

a: Yes ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 6

Forever Young

Youth Boost with Meta-Resveratrol 30ml

As you age, your skin becomes more prone to reflect the ravages of gravity and ageing. As it starts to sag, it becomes more noticeable. The most common cause of sagging skin is ageing as a result of the loss of collagen and elastin, the skin’s supportive connective tissue. Add to this the fact that facial muscles tend to weaken with age, the impact of unprotected sun exposure and the sagging caused by weight gain and weightloss and soon your skin no longer appears plump, soft or youthful!

Youth Boost with MetaResveratrol will help lift, firm and restore your skin to appear youthful and full of vitality!

Youth Boost is made with a unique fusion technology concept, combining the synergistic amalgamation of nutritional, cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical elements, to form an advanced formula that achieves non-surgical micro-lifting and improves DEJ (Dermal Epidermal Junction) for antiageing benefits from a plant derived source.

Application: Use as an overnight treatment or once or twice a day on cleansed skin after Skin Detox. Do not rinse off. Apply Revitalising Cream and your Annique night cream and moisturiser best suited to your skin.

What is Youth Boost?

A booster treatment with Meta-Resveratrol, an active ingredient from grapes, specifically focused on micro-ageing that helps promote natural skin healing, reducing the appearance of ageing by lifting, firming and restoring the skin’s vitality and glow.

What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is an all natural antioxidant found in the skins of red grapes, mulberries, peanuts and knotweed. Plants make resveratrol to defend themselves against invaders caused by environmental stress, extreme weather conditions, pests and disease. It is considered by many to be the anti-ageing breakthrough of the decade, both in skincare and supplementation.

What is MetaResveratrol?

Bio-actives and Resveratrol, known for its antioxidant benefits, are metabolised to form Meta-Resveratrol, which unlocks the ultimate anti-ageing benefits. The antiageing benefits and results of this new superior active ingredient far exceed the application of these two components separately.

Where is the Resveratrol derived from?

It is obtained from mainly the skins of red grapes and the root of the Japanese Knotweed which contains potent doses of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that works by stimulating blood circulation, reducing inflammation and removing toxins.

What are the main benefits of MetaResveratrol?

• •

What does Youth Boost with Meta-Resveratrol replace in the Forever Young regimen?

•

Improves skin hydration levels, thus restoring vitality and glow Increases cellular longevity by targeting inflammation, one of the main causes of ageing.

Promotes synthesis of Type 4 collagen.

It does not replace any of the Forever Young products as it focuses on lifting and firming, as well as fighting inflammation. This is an add-on product since these benefits are not currently offered by other Forever Young products.

Youth Boost penetrates deeper into the skin (layer) than any other Forever Young product.

Resveratrol and the link to the “FRENCH PARADOX”: The “French Paradox”, is a term that refers to the French living longer and suffering less from heart disease, despite drinking red wine and eating a diet high in fat. This theory may support the cardiovascular anti-ageing benefits of resveratrol found in grape skins. Resveratrol is produced by plants when they respond to stress in their environments such as dehydration, nutrient deprivation and attacks by other organisms.

“I am completely bowled over by the massive buzz in the beauty industry about Resveratrol’s anti-ageing benefits.

I am absolutely convinced that Annique, in staying at the cutting edge of research and technology, have made yet another breakthrough with new Meta-Resveratrol. This ingredient, that uses fusion technology to bind Resveratrol with bio-actives, hugely surpasses the benefits of these two ingredients on their own. What an exciting milestone in anti-ageing technology.” Ernest du Toit, Annique CEO

JUST SO YOU KNOW

“Have you had some work done?”

I am 54-years old and have been a body boarder for the last ten years – which means that I spend at least an hour a day in the sun (the result is a skin that looks like crimplene).

I started using Annique two years ago and I love the ‘feel’ of the products.

Every two months I visit the doctor for my chronic medication. One particular Saturday, my doctor, leant towards me and whispered, ”Violet, have you had some work done on your face?” I gaped at him and said, ”Nope, I just use Annique products and Rooibos tea for my skin.” “Are you sure you did not have a mini facelift?” he asked.

I forgot to take the script, danced out of the surgery and immediately phoned my children and my friends – who use Annique.

My friends confirmed that my skin has improved amazingly and my kids well, they thought the doctor might want a favour from me!

Violet van Zyl

What does the claim “dermatologically tested” mean?

Dermatologically tested implies that a new product has undergone strict tests and has passed the critical standards set by the relevant laboratory as well as the company involved. These tests can only be performed by dermatologists and scientists working in a designated laboratory.

Some important Annique products are tested scientifically for any allergic reaction in a laboratory.

These tests are performed only on human skin, to establish whether the active ingredients in the product cause any reactions. When no reaction has been observed, only then do the Annique products meet the strict standards determined by the dermatologists and scientists.

The products tested have been subjected to this strict testing process and we are therefore proud to say that Annique’s products have been successfully dermatologically tested. That is why we can market our product as suitable for all skin types, a unique and powerful brand in its own right.

Annique fighting cancer?

I am an Annique consultant and read the most recent newsletter article about skin cancer, which convinced me that Annique products prevent cancer. Three weeks ago a doctor removed ten different types of skin cancer lesions on my legs, arms and chest. He mentioned that it struck him as strange that these lesions did not also appear on my face – usually this kind of skin cancer is found on the skin of the face (where I have been using Annique products for the past 30 years) but my face was totally free of any sign of skin cancer.

I have had suspicious-looking lesions on my arms, chest and legs for years. A biopsy done on my leg was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, a less dangerous form of skin cancer. But if it is not

treated it can cause problems later on.

I found it so strange when the doctor showed me photos of Hester Alb erts, Preto ria patients who had similar kinds of problems on their faces. Quite by chance I read in this months’ A-news about the Huisgenoot article about prevention of skin cancer.

The only logical deduction I could make was that the Annique products I had been using for so many years, helped to prevent the cancer appearing on my skin.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 12

JUST SO YOU KNOW

Bo-Serum a miracle working product I must congratulate Annique on the Bo-Serum product. It is the most stunning, miracle-working product I have ever used.

I am so impressed with Bo-Serum and I never want to be without it again as my face has improved so radically - the deep lines around my mouth and the frown lines between my eyes and at the corners of my eyes are almost totally gone after only two weeks of use. My skin also glows.

Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.

Night creams should be an integral part of your skin care regimen, especially if you are over 30. Night creams are special formulations that are designed to nourish and improve your skin while you sleep. They contain a range of powerful moisturising and nourishing ingredients that help diminish the appearance of ageing signs and enhance the overall skin quality.

Why at night?

The skin’s ability to absorb active ingredients is the highest during the night. Night time is also when the skin loses the maximum amount of essential moisture.

The difference between day creams and night creams The difference between day creams and night creams are due to the different kind of ingredients they contain.

Day creams have a lighter texture and contain ingredients that moisturise the skin and protect it against the harmful environment and moisture loss.

Night creams on the other hand are richer formulations. They contain more nourishing and anti-ageing ingredients that stimulate the cell renewal process and promote the production of collagen and elastin fibers.

They help to enhance the skin’s elasticity and reduce the visible signs of ageing, like wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots.

Do you have to use your day moisturiser with your night cream?

South Africa’s harsh climatic conditions take a toll on our skins. Annique’s moisturisers and night creams are unique and different in that they have been formulated with this, challenge in mind.

Annique’s philosophy is also unique and different, in that we believe the most important aspect of our skin care routine is

to add enough moisture throughout the day to our skins.

Annique’s night creams can also be categorised as treatment products, due to the active ingredients they contain and the specific skin concerns they address. The skin is also far more susceptible to healing and absorbing nutrients from Annique skincare products as we sleep. Therefore to ensure that you receive the full benefit from your night cream, it is strongly recommended that you use your moisturiser each day with your preferred night cream each night.

Benefits of night cream Night creams provide the skin with a plethora of benefits. Here are some of the potential advantages of using a night cream...

• It nourishes and revitalises the skin.

• It supplies moisture to the skin that is lost during the night.

• It evens out skin tone and enhances skin texture.

• It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibres.

• It improves blood circulation.

• It diminishes the appearance of ageing signs like wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.

• It prevents sagging of the skin.

• It accelerates the cell renewal process.

• It promotes the skin’s natural ability to recover.

Lifting Essence UPLIFTING NEWS FOR YOUR NECK AND BUST! Your neck and bust area often reveal your age before your face does. Lifting Essence lifts and firms your neck and bust area, whilst repairing damaged skin and reducing uneven skin tone.

Annique’s Lifting Essence for Neck and Bust contains an exclusive

complex of naturally derived ingredients to help tighten, lift and firm your skin.

The neck and bust are highly exposed, vulnerable areas that often betray a woman’s age sooner than any other part of her body.

The skin on the neck and bust area also have different needs than that of your face and the rest of the body. Lifting Essence helps even skin tone, promote a smoother complexion and assists the skin in recovering its elasticity and firmness. The effect is lifting and firming where the cream has been applied.

Lifting Essence does the following: • Firm and tighten your neck and bust area while reducing uneven tone, replenish natural moisture to heal and repair for beautiful, smooth skin.

• Firm and strengthen tissue and skin.

• Improve elasticity and hydration.

Lifting Essence contains:

• Fenugreek seeds to improve appearance and rejuvenate skin.

• Humulus lupulus (hops extract), known as an effective revitalising ingredient.

• Horsetail, used in skin care products to prevent dehydration and wrinkles.

• Boswelia corterii birdus, added for the stimulating and antiseptic action distinctive of this cream.

Remember your Annique secret weapon and always apply a broad

spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 15 daily to combat ageing.

TIP: NEVER apply your fine fragrance to your neck area during the day. Sun exposure to this area will cause pigmentation problems and ageing.

Frequently Asked Questions: How does Lifting Essence work to firm the bust area?

Lifting Essence contains unique plant derived ingredients to help provide firming and toning benefits to the bust and neck area. It also contains a blend of ingredients which removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal.

Does Lifting Essence have a fragrance?

Yes, it contains a fresh watery floral fragrance and is suitable for sensitive skin.

Can I use Lifting Essence if I am pregnant or breast feeding?

Pregnant or breast feeding women should consult their health care practitioner before using Lifting Essence.

What are the benefits of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA)?

Increased exfoliation by loosening the “glue” that holds skin cells together. In doing so dead skin cells are removed, oil is controlled, the look of fine lines is reduced, skin colouring is improved and the tone is evened out. Skin becomes all glowy and smooth.

If I stop using the product will the results disappear?

For continuous results, use Lifting Essence as part of your daily regimen.

What AHA’s can be found in Lifting Essence?

Glycolic acid – removes dead skin cells and improves skin colouring and tone is evened out.

Lactic Acid – retexturises the skin surface and stimulates cell renewal to moisturise, firm and plump up the skin.

Citric Acid – stimulates collagen growth, brightens the skin beautifully and helps to reduce age spots and pigmentation.

Active Fruit Complex – increases the rate of cell renewal.

Application:

Press onto neck and chest area and massage in large circular movements into skin of the upper body and breasts in the mornings and evenings.

ANTIOXIDANT RADIANCE MASQUE with Rooibos Extract and Mineral Clay TREAT with Rooibos and CLAY and LOVE your skin again

Pigmentation and skin discolouration is one of the biggest skin care concerns today.

These problems are mainly caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, general neglect of the skin and environmental damage.

How does the masque differ from the other Annique masques?

Although pigmentation cannot be removed completely, there are many effective skin care products that can improve the condition.

Free radicals are the main cause of disease, ageing and degeneration of living cells. One of the best defences against free radicals is antioxidants.

Antioxidants help to neutralise and remove free radicals from cells, thereby aiding in the prevention and restoration of cell damage. Rooibos has been scientifically proven to be one of the most potent suppliers of antioxidants known to man.

The Essense Antioxidant Radiance Masque combines a high percentage of Rooibos extract for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties with mineral clay. This advanced treatment masque is ideal for skin concerns like pigmentation, dull, lifeless and stressed skin and uneven skin texture. Treatment with this creamy masque will leave the skin noticeably soft and smooth, while it aids in refining skin’s texture and improving uneven skin ESSENSE FACE FACTS tone, problem skin, Antioxidant Radiance Calm Down enlarged pores and Masque Masque dehydration.

Moisture Serum (24ml)

With Rooibos and Inca Omega Oil for optimal hydration

Essense Moisture Serum combines potent hydrating ingredients to help restore and moisturise dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin, whilst optimising moisture levels.

Hyaluronic acid helps to intensely rehydrate and improve elasticity and suppleness of the skin. Rooibos infused oil and vitamin E helps to leave skin noticeably soft and smooth.

Intense Repair Serum (24ml) With Rooibos and 10 botanical oils - Clarifying Concentrate Essense Intense Repair Serum helps to repair visible signs of damage, ageing and dullness, to reveal more radiant skin.

Formulated with 10 botanical oils and a combination of vitamins and Rooibos infused oil, this intense serum helps to nourish and condition skin, helping to improve skin tone, scarring, blemishes and elasticity. Botanical oils include baobab, calendula, wheat germ, vitamin E, apricot kernel, rosehip, black currant, avocado, sweet almond, soya bean and Rooibos infused oil.

Application:

Press two or more drops onto skin, after applying your Annique Skin Detox, in the morning and evening. Wait a few minutes before applying all other Annique skin care products, including a sunscreen and the Annique moisturiser best suited to your skin. May be applied throughout the day, even over make-up.

The eleven botanical oils in the Intense Repair Serum have the following intended functions: Baobab: Baobab oil is highly moisturising and soothing, and contains vitamins A, D, E and F. Vitamins A and F (which are polyunsaturated fatty acids) are actively involved in the rejuvenation and renewal of cell membranes, while vitamin E is a superior antioxidant, which helps to fight ageing.

Calendula oil: Calendula oil has great antiinflammatory properties. This oil is great to help treat, inflamed and itchy skin conditions, and also burns and eczema.

Wheat germ oil: This oil is very high in vitamin E, which is a natural antioxidant. It helps to promote the formation of new cells, improve circulation, and helps repair sun damage to the skin.

Inca seed omega oil is exceptionally high in Omega 3 fatty acids which makes it the richest of all known natural omega sources. It helps to decrease redness caused by UVB, maintains skin elasticity and hydration, helps to stimulate skin healing and helps to maintain skin hydration.

Application:

Press one or more drops before applying your Annique Moisturiser, in the morning and evening.

Wait a minute before applying all other Annique skin care products. May be applied throughout the day, even over make-up.

Vitamin E oil: Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and prevents the formation of free radicals in the skin cells. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can thus help to treat skin ageing, dry skin, sunburn, scars and stretch marks.

Apricot kernel oil: This moisturising and nourishing oil is particularly helpful for dehydrated, delicate, mature and sensitive skin, and it helps to soothe inflammation.

Rosehip oil: Rosehip oil helps to reduce the signs of ageing, especially fine lines around the eyes and lines around the mouth, the drying effects of the sun and climate, as well as assisting with reducing the appearance of both accident and surgical scars. It helps the skin heal and regenerate and prevents the formation of ugly scar tissue.

Black currant oil: The oil helps to normalise skin problems such as dry, flaky patches.

Avocado oil: is often used for clients with dry or mature skins, or people suffering from eczema or psoriasis, and is very useful when treating sun or climate damaged skin that is dehydrated and undernourished, as it is said to help with regenerating the skin and softening skin tissue.

Sweet almond oil: This oil helps the skin to balance moisture loss and aids with the absorption of moisture. It is a great moisturiser, which is suitable for all skin types, helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching, and is greatly lubricating. Not only does almond oil help protect the surface of the skin. It also acts as a skin soother and softener while conditioning the skin and promoting a clear and young looking complexion.

Soya bean oil: Soya bean oil is an extremely nutritious oil, which can do wonders to improve the quality of the skin. Soya bean oil helps in restoring the luster and imparts a glow to the skin. It helps in healing the damage that is done to the skin by pollution and sun exposure. The oil contains specific effective antioxidants which helps to maintain skin health and gives a special glow to the face.

Antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin B complex, prevent the development of wrinkles.

Rooibos infused oil: This oil calms and moisturises your skin, and helps improve the appearance of scars, uneven skin tone and stretchmarks. The antioxidants and flavonoids in Rooibos have anti-ageing and anti-allergenic effects.

Energising Eye Gel The eye area is one of the most delicate skin areas on your body and it’s the first place to show visible signs of ageing, fatigue and damage. The skin around eye area is unique for a number of reasons:

1 2

It contains very little subcutaneous fat tissue, thus it easily becomes less plump with age.

The eye area is surrounded by several muscles and is very sensitive to stress from facial movements such as laughing and squinting, which contributes to wrinkle development.

Choosing the correct eye treatment is an essential step in protecting this fragile area.

Essense Energising Eye Gel is a light, quick absorbing,

non-oily eye gel, formulated with Haloxyl which promotes firmness and helps to improve dark circles and minimise localised inflammation.

Also contains Eyeliss , with peptide technology, which aids in the reduction of puffiness and improvement of circulation, firmness, tone and elasticity. Contains Rooibos extract for its antioxidant properties.

Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy WITH ROOIBOS INFUSED OIL and VITAMIN E The Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy is a velvety textured lip balm that is blended with Rooibos infused oil, mango and shea butter and nourishes and soothes dry and chapped lips.

Antioxidants, which are found in the Rooibos infused oil and Vitamin E, fights skin cell damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules in the body that may harm cellular processes, and their presence in the skin is most often a result of exposure to pollution and ultraviolet rays. Because it works against free radicals, which is one of the causes of premature ageing, Vitamin E may thus help you maintain the soft, youthful texture of your lips and skin.

D LIMITE N EDITIO

Shea butter is an extract from the nut of the African Shea Tree and penetrates deep into the skin to help restore elasticity. Shea butter protects, moisturises, revitalises, refreshes and maintains skin moisture. Shea butter also ensures an even skin tone and is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F, which are needed for good skin condition.

Yes, you can have sunburned lips, which can be painful.

• WIND EXPOSURE: Leaving your lips unprotected in a strong wind can cause skin damage.

• DEHYDRATION: Probably the leading cause of most dry or cracked lips is simple dehydration.

If the body does not have enough water, the extremities, including the lips, will show it.

• SMOKING OR CHEWING: Anything you regularly put in contact with your lips can affect their condition.

• VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES: Certain vitamins are critical to maintaining healthy skin and lips.

These include Vitamins A, B, C, B2 (Riboflavin deficiency) and E. • ALLERGIC REACTIONS: Many cracked and dry lips are the result of negative reactions to cosmetics and skin care products.

• ILL-FITTING DENTURES: Badly placed dentures can also cause lip cracks.

• SPICY FOOD: Very hot foods cause dry lips in some people.

• SIDE EFFECTS OF MEDICATIONS: Certain medications cause dry or cracked lips as a side effect.

• SKIN DISORDER. Any history of a skin disorder can be related to dry or cracked lips.

High (UVA/UVB) protection Non greasy texture Water resistant Non-shiny skin tone Protects skin against sun-induced skin ageing and pigment spots Skin compatibility even in acne skin Suitable for sensitive skin

Historically, sunscreens have been used to prevent sunburns. These sunscreens were formulated primarily to protect the skin from UVB rays which cause burns. We’re aware now, that UVA rays, in addition to UVB rays are problematic. UVA rays can cause cellular damage under the dermis. This damage can lead to wrinkles, skin sagging, age spots and some types of skin cancers.

Annique’s Derma Block SPF 30: • Blocks UVA + UVB1 + UVB2 sun rays • Absorbs, scatters and reflects sun rays • Is photostable – UV rays don’t break the sunscreen down • Provides Rooibos antioxidants for youth restoring

Tinosorb Provides Stabilisation Tinosorb is a organic, water soluble ingredient that is added to Derma Block SPF 30 to provide additional UV absorption. This ingredient can absorb both UVA and UVB rays. It also stabilises other sunscreen compounds that absorb UV rays and uses a unique blend of particulates to offer three powerful actions. By absorbing, reflecting and scattering the sun’s UV rays, Tinosorb provides high-level broad spectrum coverage of UVA and UVB rays. It is also naturally stable and not susceptible to significant photodegradation (degradation upon exposure to sunlight).

Therefore it provides triple-action qualities of absorbing, scattering and reflecting UVA and UVB rays.

Application: Avoid intensive midday sun and extensive sun exposure. Apply generously before sun exposure. Reapply frequently, especially after swimming. Avoid contact with the eyes. Avoid contact with clothing until sun protection has been absorbed by the skin.

The Rooibos Derma Block 30 forms part of your daily skin care programme to prevent ageing and skin problems like cancer and pigmentation.

Sun-sensitive skin – repeat application after 60 -120 minutes.

Derma Block SPF 30 uses three methods to protect your skin from sun damage:

1 2

Sponge: it absorbs sun rays.

Knife: it scatters or ‘cuts up’ sun rays so that it doesn’t penetrate the skin.

3

Mirror: it reflects sun rays away from the skin.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 13

Derma Block SPF 30 has been formulated with a special ingredient, Tinosorb, to provide substantial broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. It absorbs, scatters and reflects the sun’s UV rays and prevents degradation from exposure to sunlight.

She gave each consultant a bottle of Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil and Sensi Crème to apply mornings and evenings and evaluate the results. Her conclusion: you could see a remarkable difference between the leaders that only used the Miracle Tissue Oil on its own and those who used it in conjunction with Sensi Crème. Petro Venter was one of the leaders that took part. See the difference on her skin, especially around the eye area!

Suzette Blignaught, Annique Consultant from PE, recently completed radiation treatment for skin cancer on her nose. The oncologist was astonished with the condition of her skin throughout the treatment. Her skin did not blister and they could treat her every week.

This is extraordinary, especially for a woman, as their facial skin tends to be rather sensitive.

In response to his remark she told him about Annique’s wonderful products. During the treatment she was not allowed to use ANY cream on her nose, but the rest of her face was protected only by Annique’s Resque Crème and Miracle Tissue Oil. The staff members at the Oncology Department were so amazed that they are now changing to Annique’s range.

Dear Annique During the holidays I gathered the courage to have my moles removed (23 December 2009). There were seven cuts on my face and all together 25 stitches! Shortly after the “operation” (I started applying Miracle Tissue Oil, Resque Crème and Liquid Skin Nutrition three times per day.

Skin Detox

1 January 2010

I need to share my life-changing story with the world!

I suffer from eczema – yes still at the age of 36. I used to dread summertime… sun, sweat and, in some cases, even the use of a SPF, all of which cause me to have eczema flare-ups. People suffering from this skin condition know that by applying anything to fix it, sometimes makes the condition worse. But, I am convinced, after I have tested EVERYTHING on the market, that I have discovered an instant relief for this skin condition.

In desperation I grabbed the Skin Detox from the Annique cupboard at lPetro Beauvais home. One I saved as a bonus for one of my consultants. Thanks Georgina!

Face before treatment

Miracle Tissue Oil – Miraculous Mainstay It happened more or less 5-6 weeks ago. It was a Sunday, and once again there was a power cut in Paarl. After we enjoyed tasty take-aways, my friends went home. It was suddenly dark, so I lit candles. The power was supposed to be on again at 18:00, but that didn’t happen. I realised my candles would not last, so I took out a gas lamp.

The cylinder was empty so I put in a new one.

I took the candles along to the kitchen so that I could see what I was doing. When I screwed on the new cylinder, there was an emission of gas which swept towards the flame and caused it to flare up dramatically. I was standing with the cylinder in my hand when it exploded. The flames were all over the kitchen.

Face after treatment

I knew immediately that I had been burnt, because the flames covered my neck and face and reached right up to my hair. I turned away from the flame, but it was too late. I could not see the extent of damage to my skin, as the power only came on again after 22:00. I kept splashing my face and hands with water, but the damage was done. I looked like someone who had spent an entire day in the sun.

My face and my right arm and hand were blood red!

I had “burnshield” in the fridge which I applied to the damaged skin, I bandaged my hands,

Moisture Serum My skin is oily in summer and dry in winter. As a rule, I use the Herbal Moisturiser in summer and Ultra Hydrating Moisture Lotion in winter. In winter I also have to apply a moisture masque twice a week. My cheeks are inclined to glow on winter afternoons and to counteract the burning sensation, I had to always apply

took 5 Panados and tried to sleep.

Next morning the pain was almost gone, but my face was covered in blisters. My lips were scorched and my eyebrows, eyelashes and fringe were completely burnt away. I saw a skin specialist who diagnosed third degree burns. I began applying Gelo gauze bandages. After two weeks my face was better but still very tender and red, almost transparent, but my arms were still raw and the bandages stuck to the skin.

My friend, Marina Siebritz, saw me and she was visibly upset about what had happened. She convinced me to visit her so that she could treat me with Annique products – which I am sincerely grateful for. She went all out and pampered me by giving me a facial treatment; I still recall how wonderful my skin felt afterwards. I left with a bottle of Miracle Tissue Oil which I applied to my face and arms daily. After using it for two weeks all the scars on my face have disappeared and my skin looks better than before the burning episode. God’s angels encircled me that night, of that I am certain! lHetty Human

Absolute Balancing Freshener. A month ago, I bought Moisture Serum which I used for the first three weeks, mornings and evenings, with Skin Detox (two drops of Moisture Serum, mornings and evenings) – and now my skin is wonderfully moist! My cheeks also don’t have that uncomfortable glow in the afternoon. From now on, Moisture Serum will be an integral part of my skin care routine! lYolande van Niekerk

The Fighting Angel – Pippie Kruger The beautiful little Isabella “Pippie” Kruger, got a brand new skin for her third birthday after she suffered third-degree burn wounds to nearly 80% of her body in a freak accident at her home in Ellisras in January 2012.

This precious little body has already undergone 45 operations since the accident. She can truly be called a little fighter as she proved the doctors wrong who said to her parents that Pippie would only survive for three days.

Pippie has been under the amazing care of Dr Ridwan Mia, the plastic surgeon with “wonder” hands, for the past six months in the paediatric ICU unit of Netcare Garden City Hospital, Johannesburg. Pippie made local history when her burnt skin was layered with sheets of cloned skin grown from her own cells in a United States laboratory. The revolutionary procedure has transformed the third-degree burn wounds to Pippie’s body. This little fighting angel has shown a remarkable

recovery and the doctors were extremely pleased with the results. Dr Ridwan Mia said more than 90% of the cloned skin has attached successfully!

She is now getting stronger each day with the help of several therapists at the Netcare rehabilitation centre in Auckland Park. She will receive intense physio, speech and occupational therapy for the next six months until she can walk and talk normally again.

Annique can proudly say that we are a part of this miracle! Dr Ridwan Mia said the Annique Miracle Tissue Oil with its remarkable healing properties is the only Tissue Oil which will be allowed on little Pippie’s sensitive skin. Pippie is also using other fabulous Annique products to support her in her time of healing, such as the Lifestyle Shake. We also decided to spoil Pippie’s mother, Anice, with Annique products and she says that a huge difference in her skin is already noticeable!

Lucid is the daily skin care range for dry, dehydrated and mature skin types

Drench your skin with moisture!

Lucid

Pronunciation: Loo-sid Adjective Shining - bright - beaming - gleaming - radiant - crystalline - pure

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 1

Innovative active ingredients Lucid includes an innovative and sophisticated active ingredient, named AquaVital. This ingredient is suitable even for the most sensitive skin types and is 100% natural and is plant derived. It has been scientifically formulated as an advanced moisture regulator that acts as a moisture reservoir in the skin.

Lucid means shining, bright, beaming, gleaming, radiant, crystalline and pure. Annique’s Lucid range of daily skin care products for dry and mature skin will ensure just that. Your skin will become beaming, radiant and bright. Dry, dehydrated and mature skin requires extra care to restore and retain the skin’s moisture content. In the natural ageing process, the skin dramatically loses its moisture content and elasticity.

Unfortunately our skin is also exposed to harmful elements that degrade and damage the skin further, which leads to even greater moisture loss. Some of the negative elements include artificial heating, air conditioning, exposure to chemicals, medication, harsh weather conditions, sun exposure and pollution.

AquaVital: A “Moisture Reservoir”

Aq u a fi aVita film ne m l for on oist ms you ure r sk in.

AquaVital essentially acts as a “moisture reservoir” in the skin. Due to this it has a highly effective ability to intensify moisture retention in the skin. It also has the extraordinary ability to function effectively, even in dry, low humidity environments. Because of AquaVital’s unique ability to bind to amino acids in the skin, it can moisturise the skin for longer periods, and the “moisture reservoir” benefits increase with regular use. Scientific and dermatological tests have proven AquaVital’s efficacy as a superior moisturising ingredient and now adds even more moisturising benefits to the various tried and trusted Annique Lucid formulations, immensely improving their efficacy.

amazing formulas Lucid consists of 7 products, which all include the ground-breaking active ingredient AquaVital and are FRAGRANCE FREE in six out of seven formulas. The Lucid range consists of the following products:

What does the claim “dermatologically tested” mean?

Dermatologically tested implies that a product has undergone strict tests and has passed the critical standards set by the relevant laboratory as well as the company involved. These tests can only be performed by dermatologists and scientists working in a designated laboratory.

Some important Annique products are tested scientifically for any allergic reaction in a laboratory. These tests are performed only on human skin, to establish whether the active ingredients in the product

cause any reactions. When no reaction has been observed, only then do the Annique products meet the strict standards determined by the dermatologists and scientists.

The products tested have been subjected to this strict testing process and therefore we are proud to say that Annique’s products have been successfully dermatologically tested. That is why we can market our product as suitable for all skin types, a unique and powerful brand in its own right.

Annique’s daily facial skin care products have become firm favourites amongst consultants and their customers for more than 40 years. The effectiveness of these superior products have been proven time and again, and the visible and lasting results are amazing.

Hydrafine provides

the perfect balance of moisture for normal and combination skins, and will leave your skin refined and beautiful. The word “hydra” has its origin in the word “hydration” and it means to restore moisture, to water or to drench your skin. The word “fine” when linked to the word “refine”, means to go back to its beautiful or delicate state. Hydrafine embodies delicate and fine texture.

Balancing Formulas

Normal and Combination Skin Normal skin has a good oil/water balance. It can fluctuate and sometimes will be a little more dry or oily, depending on seasonal changes, lifestyle and other factors. Maintenance of the skin’s moisture and pH, as well as preventative care is the aim for this type of skin.

Combination skin can be both oily and dry at the same time.

The T-zone through the middle of the face on the forehead, nose, and chin tends to be oilier than the outer areas of the face, which can be dry and even appear flaky.

Combination skin needs to be balanced by readjusting moisture content, and requires more care than normal skin.

Hydrafine, Annique’s skin care range for normal and combination skin, will ensure that your skin is kept in perfect balance. It will keep your skin effortlessly hydrated and ensure a delicate and fine texture.

Hydrafine contains Annique’s exclusive extract of Rooibos, that helps to calm and soothe irritated and hot skin, is rich in antioxidants and provides revitalising qualities and anti-allergic benefits.

Daily facial skin care range for oily skin

Annique’s daily skin care products have become firm favourites amongst consultants and their customers for more than 40 years. The effectiveness of these superior products has been proven over and over again, and even more amazing are the visible results achieved.

SYNERGY contains GREEN ROOIBOS extract

Definition of

Synergy:

Synergy means interaction, collaboration and working together.

Synergy is a modern, ground breaking range that intertwines science and nature to bring you an effective daily skin care range that will transform oily and problem skin to healthy, beautiful skin.

What is the characteristics of an oily skin?

People with oily skin often have a shiny, greasy looking skin with enlarged pores.

This skin type appears thicker and coarser than other skin types and can be prone to blackheads, whiteheads and acne. The reason for this is oily skin produces excess sebum (oil), a natural oil substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin.

These glands are all over our bodies but are more concentrated on the facial area, chest, shoulders and upper back. Ethnic skins tend to look oilier, because of more sebaceous and sweat glands found in the skin. When the skin produces too much sebum, a state called Hyperseborrhea is caused which clogs pores.

Who is Synergy aimed at?

The Synergy user is typically someone with an excessively oily skin in any age group. The affordability of the Synergy range will allow it to be well received by all users.

What are the key active ingredients in the Synergy range?

The range contains three key ingredients: Green Rooibos extract for its powerful anti-inflammatory and natural antioxidants, Witch Hazel for its calming and astringent properties, and Tea Tree Oil for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

How do you care for an oily skin?

Because of the excess sebum on the skin, many people make the mistake of trying to dry out the skin. This is not a good idea as all you are doing is stripping the good oils from the skin, which your skin needs to function normally. Many times attempts at hampering oil production in the skin actually leads to more oil being produced, making the problem even worse.

Ideally, what you want is a balance of just the right amount of sebum on the skin to help keep the skin healthy. This can be difficult as many products strip the skin of moisture with the result that the skin overcompensates and produces more sebum to combat the dryness, which is counter active.

It is a myth that people that have an oily skin should not use a moisturiser. A moisturiser specifically developed for an oily skin should be used in a daily skin care routine. Moisture will help nourish, balance and subdue oil production and keep the skin healthy.

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.

for treating

using 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.

Corné Wiid, a consultant from Kimberley, suffered with problem skin until her early 20s when she discovered the solution in the Annique product range. Cornè shares her secrets with us on how best to treat acne, using Annique.

Liquid Skin Nutrition

Annique’s facefacts Liquid Skin Nutrition has received lots of attention since its launch in March 2008.

This product is completely unique in the Annique and facefacts range and here are some frequently asked questions answered.

Q: What is Liquid Skin Nutrition (LSN)?

Q: Can I replace my Lucid, Hydrafine or Synergy Freshener with 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.

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 results can I expect from using LSN?

Q: What is the difference between the a normal Freshener and LSN?

Q: Why is the LSN in a spray formula?

skin. Fresheners regulate the skin’s pH that keeps the skin’s immune system intact. This prevents skin problems, ageing and other skin ailments.

A: A clear, healthy, beautiful skin. LSN will help clear up problem skin and bring new life to normal and dry skin types.

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.

A: LSN is spray vitamins and minerals for your

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 beneficial 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.

The Modern Man and Skin care Annique products can play a crucial role in your man’s life. We have the perfect solutions to his every day skin care concerns.

Skincare routines used to be exclusively available to women. In the past, cleansing, moisturising and exfoliating was associated with a beauty routine and was mainly part of the female skin care routine.

On the contrary, men were associated with toughness, strength and intelligence, not really paying as much attention to their daily “maintenance routine”.

However, things have changed dramatically. Today, men view skincare and grooming differently.

Their aim is also to look their best at all times and use products that can help them maintain a clean, oil-free and blemish-free complexion.

Basic skin problems such as blackheads, spots and acne have a negative psychological impact and often lead to a loss of self-esteem and confidence. Men are continuously seeking a solution which will not only improve their appearance, but will also improve their confidence.

The good news is that Annique has just the product for your man’s skin concerns!

180o Skin Elements for Men ingredients Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, is a natural antioxidant known for its ability to help the body produce energy.

It also helps to combat damage from free radicals that contribute to ageing.

Ironically, as we age, the levels of Coenzyme Q10 start to drop in the body, leading to a decrease in the ability of cells to withstand stress and regenerate.

Vitamin E helps skin to look younger by

reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Free radicals are also believed to play an important role in skin ageing and therefore the antioxidant activity is quite valuable to resolve this skin problem.

The antioxidant content in Green Rooibos is likely to help protect against free radical damage that can lead to premature ageing. Green ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 3

Rooibos, the unfermented version of Rooibos, has a higher percentage of polyphenols than traditional fermented Rooibos and generally displays higher antioxidant potential than regular Rooibos. Grape Seed Oil is a preferred cosmetic ingredient for control of skin moisturisation. This light and easily absorbed oil does not leave an oily residue and is ideal for shaving.

In a study commissioned by a professor for use in cosmetic applications, and carried out by an independent laboratory in France, Rooibos was perceived to positively affect the hair and hair growth. In a 90-day trial, the action of a lotion containing a broad-spectrum Rooibos extract was compared with a placebo lotion without Rooibos. The trial participants were healthy men and women experiencing hair loss. At trial-end using a video-trichogramme that measures hair density and hair growth speed, the laboratory noted that a significant increase in the speed of hair growth had occurred in the participants using the Rooibos lotion.

SKIN ELEMENTS FOR MEN delivers functional, multipurpose, sensible skin care products for men. The range’s approach to skin care is no mess, no fuss, for the man who chooses his own direction and navigates by plotting his own course. He is not bound by traditional rules and defies conformity. He is intelligent, masculine and resourceful and uses skin care products that suit his lifestyle.

SKIN ELEMENTS FOR MEN provides all the essential elements of necessary daily skin care for men, while protecting the skin against the elements.

Why a night cream?

Exposure to the elements like UV rays, pollution and wind, damages and strains the skin. Repeated exposure causes dryness, pigmentation and ageing. The optimum time for the body to repair itself is between 23:00 and 03:00. When you go to bed, your skin’s oxygen consumption and blood flow increases. This allows it to change into repair mode and reverse any damage sustained during the day. Applying a nutritious product designed to improve damage, like SKIN ELEMENTS FOR MEN Night Recovery, before you go to bed, allows the skin to utilise the active ingredients for eight hours while you sleep.

You’ll wake up looking great, ready to kickstart the day.

Baby Rooibos Tea Best for Baby The Annique Baby Rooibos tea is suitable for babies, right from birth.

You are advised to replace juice or water with the Rooibos Baby tea, for an anti-allergic and nutritional supplementary drink. The Rooibos Baby tea may also be added to a normal bottle feed, but does not replace bottle-feeds or breastfeeding.

To prepare: Add one tea bag to boiling water in a tea pot. Simmer for 5 to 15 minutes to activate the anti-allergic enzymes. Then add it to your baby’s milk or cool down and add to fruit juice, for a healthy, suitable baby drink.

Annique Rooibos Baby tea has a natural sweet and fruity flavour and does not need not be sweetened with honey or sugar.

The Annique Rooibos story started in 1968, when Dr. Annique Theron, a South African mother, discovered its ability to soothe and calm her baby daughter, relieving the infant of colic and insomnia. Amazed by its natural healing potential, Dr Theron went on to investigate and document its healthpromoting properties as a caffeine-free, low-in-tannin tea, which is not just suitable for babies, but for a wide spectrum of age groups, helping to improve allergies and ailments.

Baby Body Lotion The Annique Baby Lotion helps to prevent dryness, itching and relieves restlessness from the chafing and scratching of clothes and blankets

Annique’s Baby Rooibos tea is organic and has been hygienically treated. Moms can mix their formula with Annique’s Baby Rooibos tea – that boasts anti-allergenic, antiviral, anti-spasmodic and antioxidant properties - instead of using water. Babies can also be bathed in the Baby Rooibos tea to treat and prevent skin rashes and sensitivity.

The Rooibos Baby Lotion can be used on the baby’s body and face and may be used from birth. The gentle moisturising action cools and calms the skin while the Rooibos extract prevents further irritation from heat, handling and other irritants.

Give your baby the best start with the Annique’s Rooibos Baby Tea. Use the Rooibos tea as a nutritional supplement to limit the occurrence of milk and other food allergies. Replace or mix juices (e.g. apple juice) with the Rooibos Baby tea for an antiallergenic and nutritional supplementary drink.

The delicate no-tears formula contains Annique’s extract of Rooibos to ensure soft, clean hair without the tears! It makes the ideal two-in-one travel companion for your baby and yourself.

The Annique Baby Sunscreen SPF 20 offers gentle sun protection, with UVA and UVB filters, and is formulated for a sensitive skin. Rooibos extract, together with a unique blend of oils, provide calming properties to the skin.

How to apply sunscreen

The Annique Baby Sunscreen SPF 20 with UVA and UVB filters has been specifically developed to protect baby’s sensitive skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

CANSA and dermatologists recommend that a sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 20 be used on both children and adults. It is a well-known fact that babies’ skins are much thinner and more delicate than those of adults. This is why babies and young children, in particular, require sunscreen to be applied frequently.

The Annique Baby Sunscreen SPF 20 can be applied to babies and children over 6 months of age. It is safe to apply small amounts of Annique Baby Sunscreen to the skin of newborns when outdoors. Newborns should have small amounts of sunscreen applied to small areas, such as on their face, backs of hands and feet as well as their ears, and neck. This is because newborn babies’ skin is still very thin. However it is still advisable that newborns remain completely out of the sun, until the age of 6 months.

Baby Sunscreen should be applied regularly to babies and children’s skin, especially, when outdoors or travelling by car and when their skin cannot be entirely protected by shade and clothing. When your children are outdoors, ensure that they are protected. UV rays reflect off water, sand and any other light-coloured surface, like concrete. UV rays can also reach below the water’s surface. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight between the hours of 10:00 and 15:00 should be avoided.

Most children get 50% to 80% of their lifetime sun exposure before the age of 18, so it’s important that parents and caregivers teach them how to use sunscreen safely. With the right precautions, you can help reduce your child’s chance of developing skin cancer later in life.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 4

• Baby Sunscreen should be applied to the skin and at least 15 - 20 minutes prior to going outdoors to allow the sunscreen sufficient time to be absorbed.

• Enough sunscreen should be applied to ensure that the areas of the baby’s body that are or will be exposed to the sun are covered. Areas of the baby’s body which should especially be concentrated on are areas such as, baby’s face, nose, ears, feet hands and back of the knees.

• Sunscreen should be reapplied regularly, especially when playing in water.

• Sunscreen should be applied even when travelling in a car or when your baby is playing in a sunny room. The sun’s rays can still reach the skin through the windows and it often reflects off other surfaces.

Being outdoors with your baby is essential, but protecting your baby from harmful UV rays can sometimes be a difficult task. Many of us lather ourselves and our babies with chemical filled sunscreens which may be more harmful to your health than the sun.

Herbal Teas perfect for baby and child Rooibos Tea is rich in minerals and antioxidants and is anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. It can be strongly recommended for headaches, disturbed sleeping patterns, light depression and hypertension because it is caffeine-free and has a soothing effect on the central nervous system. Rooibos Tea soothes digestive problems like nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach ulcers and constipation. It also has a soothing effect on the skin and relieves skin irritations like eczema and acne when applied directly to affected areas. With the infusion of herbs, Rooibos is even more beneficial to your health. Annique introduces nine herbal infusion teas that each address a different ailment.

Miracle Resque

Annique Magic Resque Mist Since I started using Annique 33 years ago as a group leader the sun has never stopped shining on our MAGIC product ANNIQUE. I have never stopped using it and never stopped introducing it to all who have crossed or will cross my path... Annique speaks for itself…like a painting speaks a thousand words.

A friend suffering from ‘scabies’ had nearly given up on life. Doctors, chemists, advice – nothing wanted to work. Her agony was increased when it started spreading… until she discovered Resque Mist – a must in every household.

I can be credited for suggesting it to her, but it was the products that did the work. A mere 15 minutes after application, she experienced relief. Annique’s products never lets you down. My friend can sleep again and smile again - and tells the whole world about our magical product. I wish more doctors and pharmacists knew about this magic little bottle and its rightful name.

By the way, most of my clients of 25 to 30 years, especially in Mpumalanga Nelspruit and White River are still using Annique – and they look STUNNING!!!! I always tell the women: Annique is like a life policy - what you put in now, is what you will benefit later... and these women certainly have.

Resque Crème was selected as the runner-up in the Fair Lady Best of Beauty Awards: Best SA Product. Resque was one of 364 entries!

Resque Mist was also

a finalist (Top 10) of this prestigious award.

We thus had two products in the Top 5 out of a total of 364 products submitted.

Well done Annique!

I did a skin analysis on a client recently. She has a beautiful, naturally tanned skin tone.

I couldn’t find any serious problem areas. Her skin is normal, but she did mention her one side tends to feel dry sometimes. I decided to apply the Moisture Masque, now Lucid Silky Skin Replenesher.

Within minutes the right side of her face absorbed the masque.

After asking questions, I realised that the dry side is as a result of driving with an open window every day. Her car doesn’t have airconditioning and she drives a long distance to work and back. The rest of her skin is normal. She uses the Ideal Herbal Moisturiser more regularly now, together with Moisture Masque and Resque Crème.

I would just like to thank Annique for their wonderful products that worked miracles on my sun damaged skin.

I went to a braai where there was no shade or shelter. Needless to say, I didn’t put on sunscreen (which will never happen again). I went to the doctor, who diagnosed me with first degree burns, and prescribed pain killers, anti-inflammatories and cortisone cream. He told me my skin would blister and peel.

I decided to bath in Rooibos tea and, after bathing, I used only a little drop of cortisone cream mixed with my Resque Crème and Annique Moisturiser for Dry Skin.

Only four days later, my skin was perfect again. No redness, no peeling and no blisters!

Annique makes a perfect product and I would like to say a big thank you. I now recommend Annique to everybody I know.

Annique to the

Resque!

What a remarkable change occurred in this young man`s life after only a month of religiously following Marlene`s fantastic Annique recipe. At the age of 20 he is now confident and ready to take the world by storm. Mandla has nothing to feel embarrassed about any more.

As a young teenager, Mandla Gaba struggled with severe acne. His acute self-consciousness about the condition of his skin affected his personality.

He felt shy and embarrassed, which had a negative effect on his daily programme and his social life.

But Mandla’s life changed dramatically when Annique consultant Marlene Noortman recently introduced Annique products to him to try out on his skin.

Marlene suggested the following unique “recipe” of Annique products for Mandla to follow daily: 1. He washed his face with Annique Green Rooibos tea morning and night; 2. He drank the Annique Green Rooibos tea daily; 3. Applied Resque Crème three times a day; 4. When his skin began to show an improvement, Marlene mixed Sensi Crème with Miracle Tissue Oil, and Mandla applied this mixture daily to the affected areas.

A work colleague told me about his daughter who was diagnosed with Steven Johnson Syndrome after a regional doctor made the wrong diagnosis, and treated her with the wrong medication. The next day he brought photos of his daughter, I was so shocked, and it was the first time I saw something like that.

My first thought was that I should help this girl, and I thought of Resque Crème and OptiClear.

I contacted Bev Tonkin for her advice. She also recommended Vitamin B supplement (now OptiCalm), OptiEnergy and Vitamin A (now OptiDerm) supplement.

An improvement was noticeable within the first week that she used the Annique recommended products.

The OptiClear removed all the toxins, which was caused by the wrong medication, from her kidneys.

The Vitamin B (OptiCalm) relieved the dryness of her skin; she applied the Resque Crème at night to her hands and feet and covered her feet with socks.

The photos illustrate how the condition manifested in her hands, her feet were also so infected that she couldn’t walk on grass. The bridge of her foot healed nicely. The photos illustrate how her hands healed completely.

Resque Crème and OptiClear are truly amongst our crown products!

Burn Wounds Healed by Miracle Tissue Oil and Resque Crème The son of one of my regular customers suffered severe burn wounds last year due to an accident with hot oil. His face, hands and arms were seriously burnt.

After hospitalisation and completing his doctor’s treatment, his mother appealed to me for help. At that moment a friend of mine visited and without hesitation she said, “Apply Resque Crème immediately!”

Shortly after that an article appeared in Replique about a woman who had also suffered severe burn wounds. On the strength of this the injured son’s mother purchased Miracle Tissue Oil and Resque Crème. The results after the first month of use was amazing and all the son’s friends commented on how unbelievable his skin looked; they all wanted to know about the products!

All this happened in November. When I saw him again on 23 March I was astonished to see that there were no more visible scars on his face; only a few blemishes remained on his one hand.

Resque Crème delivers more impressive results: An 81 year old customer, who had been suffering from infected pores (pig’s skin) on his neck for many years (a condition which persisted despite treatment by skin specialists) began applying Resque Crème. I advised him to also use the Crystal Clear Cleanser and Face Facts Liquid Skin Nutrition. The condition began improving almost immediately and a couple of months later my customer proudly showed me his neck and the great improvement!

Resque Mist for my Dog!

Resque Crème and Miracle Tissue Oil Two weeks ago I poured boiling water straight from the kettle onto my hand (wrist area and arm). I burnt terribly and my skin was red. I applied ice immediately and then Burnshield. Nothing took the pain away. I then took my Resque Crème, rubbed it in gently and then added a thick layer over that and just left it. I experienced pain relief immediately. Then I started using the Resque Crème and Miracle Tissue Oil together. Once the skin broke I just used the Resque Crème until it dried and now I am using Miracle Tissue Oil for the scar. Two weeks later the scar was hardly visible. Continuing with the Miracle Tissue Oil as new skin formed – each day saw an improvement. I am so impressed and so excited about the healing. Denise Mills

Recently, one morning, my large Boerboel was unable to walk without pain. His paw was swollen due to an abscess in between his toes.

He sat and whined all the time. I realised I had no medication at hand for a sick dog, so I took Resque Mist and whilst saying a prayer, I sprayed it under his paw, onto the abscess and in between the toes. He sneezed a couple of times (his sinuses were probably opened in the process!) and then fell asleep. When he awoke, he got up and walked quite normally. To this day his paw is totally healed.

Sunburn Resque 911 December is the time most of us enjoy the summer and holidays. Spending time outside in South Africa’s beautiful, sunny climate often leads to sunburn.

The most important thing to remember is to cover up during the hottest time of the day, when the sun’s rays are most damaging, from 11 to 3 o’clock.

Apply sunblock regularly, especially after swimming and/ or sweating.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 5

If you do get sunburn, here are some tried and tested Annique remedies: • Bath in a lukewarm bath – add 2 cups of strong Rooibos tea • Pat skin dry and apply Resque Crème liberally • Spray Liquid Skin Nutrition to cool down and nourish damaged skin

to the resque My grandchild, who has just turned one, has suffered from eczema since she was a few of months old. This had become a nightmare with her constant scratching and the open, weepy sores on her skin was heartbreaking to see. We had to keep her in long sleeves and pants day and night and at night Sarah (my daughter-in-law) had to put ‘Scratch Sleeves’ on her to stop her from tearing at her skin while she slept. Whenever her skin was exposed, she would scratch, so that even nappy changes became a problem and she hated having the awful thick greasy creams put on her. As none of the prescribed creams had worked, we were at our wits end to find a remedy for her skin.

I recently came across the Annique skin care range and thought we had nothing to lose by trying it out, which we did, and quite frankly were amazed at the results!

In just two weeks her skin was practically clear and she no longer scratched at all! We started off by giving her Rooibos baths, which is simply Rooibos teabags brewed and added to the bath water. Then we used the Annique Resque Crème in conjunction with the Annique Baby Lotion. As her skin started to improve, we continued with just the Baby Lotion.

Ashleigh’s skin is now beautifully soft and silky - as a babies skin should be! Sarah tells me she loves the baby smell of the lotion on her skin, which is something she has never been able to enjoy before as all of the prescribed creams were generally fragrance free. Ashleigh herself absolutely loves the cream being massaged into her body, which she obviously finds incredibly soothing!

Increase Hair Growth In a study commissioned by a professor for use in cosmetic applications, and carried out by an independent laboratory in France, Rooibos was perceived to positively affect the hair and hair growth. In a 90-day trial, the action of a lotion containing a broad-spectrum Rooibos extract was compared with a placebo lotion without Rooibos. The trial participants were healthy men and women experiencing hair loss. At trial-end using a videotrichogramme that measures hair density and hair growth speed, the laboratory noted that a significant increase in the speed of hair growth had occurred in the participants using the Rooibos lotion.

People with sensitive skin may want to test ZeroAche+ on a small patch of skin first. Skin can turn red, warm-cold and sometimes itchy, which is normal. Ingredients are not harmful.

Annique submitted product information about ZeroAche+ to the Medicines Control Council in South Africa. The MCC does not endorce products officially, but prefers that companies submit information about products to them, so that they are aware of the existence of these products.

The MCC has stamped the information submitted on ZeroAche+ and has no objections about the claims Annique makes about ZeroAche+ on the container, that the products will aid to relieve certain ailments.

ZeroAche+ is not suitable for pregnant women.

SMS: “The ZeroAche+ is very good because I had a knot for about four or five months at the back of my neck, which was very painful.

Two days after using ZeroAche+ for the first time I didn’t have any pain. I hope it’s here to stay. Love, Pam.”

JUST SO YOU KNOW

Dalena Stulting from Florida Hills shared at the Leaders’ meeting in Pretoria in April 2008 on how ZeroAche+ helped her and her family.

Her brother complained about phantom pains in his leg that was amputated due to illness. He experienced this pain because the nerve endings in the leg were still active. He applied ZeroAche+ and immediately had relief from these phantom pains. Dalena herself also fell at her house and had a few minor injuries. She said Annique’s ZeroAche+ helped her recover with much more comfort from this fall.

“My husband hurt his knee in 2006 on a trip to Antarctica.

During the year 2006 and 2007 his knee would hurt on and off for no reason or when walking long distances or while horseriding.

In 2007 we again travelled to Antarctica on a three week expedition and his knee was giving him problems when walking on the continent or while carry heavy equipment. I had a trial batch of the Annique ZeroAche+ with me and recommended he try it. Two applications over two days and the pain was gone. The pain hasn’t returned since December 2007!”

Suzette, May 2008.

APPLICATION Apply generously to affected areas like muscles and joints for general aches and to the back of the neck and temples for headaches.

Do not apply on broken skin or open woulds. Wash hands thoroughly after use. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Leslie Grobler from Bloemfontein gave ZeroAche+ to two of her friends. One had a chest injury and the other a permanent pain in the arm. Their feedback on ZeroAche+ was that it brought almost immediate relief and the effect lasted for hours. Both suffer from chronic muscle pain and were very impressed with the relief ZeroAche+ brought. They recommend others try ZeroAche+.

ZeroAche+

FOR MOSQUITO BITES I would just like to express how excellent ZeroAche+ is for mosquito bites. I’m allergic to the little devils, once bitten I can easily itch for the next 3 months every now and again. At the age of 59 years I have tried anything and everything you can think about for the itch.

Along came Annique’s ZeroAche+. What a wonderful cream this is. I applied it twice to a few mosquito bites and the itch disappeared completely. We will never be without it in our medicine chest.

Your complete sun care solution

SUN CARE

One of the six differences between Annique and other beauty houses is that we believe sun care forms part of our daily skin care routine and we thus regard our sun protection products as cardinally important.

Sun protection is important as skin damage from sunlight builds up with continued exposure, whether sunburn occurs or not. In addition to skin cancer and sunburn, wrinkles and premature ageing are also caused by sun exposure. Annique’s Sun Care range provides broad spectrum protection, helps to prevent the signs of ageing associated with sun exposure and contains Rooibos extract for its powerful antioxidant properties.

Sun Safety Aerosol SPF 30 is a convenient sun protection spray, with added benefits of Green Rooibos.

Sun Safety Aerosol SPF 30

No more sticky hands or sand in your sun cream with this water-resistant sun protection aerosol for sport lovers – nonstick and quick spray-on application on any area like the scalp, hands and face.

The unique Green Rooibos extract protects skin against free radical damage from UVrays and is suitable for the whole family.

Now with a new fresh fragrance.

Safe-in-the-Sun SPF 30 with DN-Age Want to feel safe in the sun, while enjoying your vacation? DN-Age in this sun block helps to protect DNA in skin cells and to prevent sun damage to these cells.

This optimal UV-protection in a nonallergenic formulation contains: • DN-Age© to neutralise free radicals and protect cells from DNA damage caused by the sun.

• Green Rooibos – anti-allergic, powerful natural antioxidant, prevents premature ageing.

SPF 30 provides 30 times the skin’s own natural defence against sun burn.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 2

Directions: Apply Safe in the Sun daily to face, neck, shoulders, ears and nose – remember sensitive areas like the top of feet and back of hands. People with sensitive skin must repeat application after 60 – 120 minutes.

The Green Rooibos Safe in the Sun SPF 30 forms part of your daily skin care program to prevent ageing and skin problems like cancer and pigmentation, which is one of the six differences between Annique and other beauty houses.

Be Wise SPF 50 with DN-Age© Millions of people flock to beaches and holiday resorts across the world and spend hours in the sun. Regardless of many warnings and previous bad experiences with severe sunburn, many people still use no or insufficient sun protection products.

In the winter months people are prone to think the sun doesn’t damage their skin, because the sun’s rays don’t burn as hot as in summer. People have to realise that sun rays can damage their skin all year round, even when it is overcast. Harmful rays reach any sunny spot in the house and reflects off water and other surfaces. Especially in South Africa, it is essential to apply sunblock every single day. People in dryer areas and in areas higher above sea level have a greater risk of sun exposure. UV levels are up to 50% more dangerous at 10 000 feet above sea level.

UV-damage also lowers the skin’s immunity against cancer and harmful diseases. Even though we are bombarded with warnings against the harmful effects of the sun, it seems that most people still don’t view this matter in a serious light.

The daily use of a sun block considerably lowers the risk of getting wrinkles, pigmentation and skin cancer.

Be Wise SPF 50 has been formulated with the latest technology to provide broad spectrum protection against UVA rays (that can cause ageing) and UVB rays (that can cause sunburn). This light, non-irritating cream can be used to prevent premature ageing, as sun exposure is one of the main causes of skin damage and ageing. DN-Age is an ingredient that is included to help to protect the skin from DNA. DNA damage can cause premature ageing and skin disease. Be Wise contains a light fragrance.

Be wise about sun exposure

How does an SPF (sun protection factor) work?

Avoid the sun between 10:00 and 15:00, wear a hat and apply a sunblock every day. Choose a sunblock that provides broad spectrum protection, like Annique’s Be Wise SPF 50, that filters UVA and UVB rays. Remember to also apply sunblock to your neck and hands.

These areas are often neglected, but are also exposed to the sun.

Sunblock is an excellent way to protect your skin against sun damage. When a sunblock contains an SPF of 50, it means you can spend 50 times longer in the sun, without damaging your skin. In other words, if it takes 10 minutes for you to burn in the sun without any sun protection, you will be able to spend 500 minutes or a little bit more than eight hours (= 50 (SPF) x ten minutes) in the sun without damaging your skin, when you apply an SPF of 50 or more.

After eight+ hours you need to apply sun block again. SPF tests are conducted under controlled circumstances and don’t take individual skin types, sweating and rubbing of clothes and towels against the skin and watersport into account. Therefore, you need to apply sunblock more frequently than the SPF suggests.

Why do we need to take vitamins and minerals?

When you have a cold, the first thing most people tell you is to take Vitamin C. Feeling a bit blah?

Another person assures you that you need B vitamins for stress, B12 for energy metabolism and Vitamin E against cancer and heart disease...

Have you ever wondered why we really need to take supplements, even if we do have a healthy lifestyle or diet?

Here are some compelling reasons:

• Even slight nutritional deficiencies, over long periods of time, may play a significant part in the development of serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis.

• A forty-year study done in the USA reveals that, since the 1950s, there has been a major decline in the nutrient value of fruit and vegetables. This is due to the steady depletion of soil nutrients, coupled with the effects of prolonged crop storage, plus temperature and hormonal manipulation.

• Over-processing seriously depletes food of nutrients.

• Much fresh produce has been genetically modified to look colourful and visually enticing, and the sugar content of fruit may have been augmented to satisfy export market tastes. It seems that marketing dictates have become more important than nutritional value.

• Our bodies are being subjected to increasingly hectic lifestyles. Medicines and pharmaceutical drugs, from over-the-counter pain killers to prescription medication, are leeching our bodies of stored nutrients required for the maintenance of optimal health. An unhealthy diet, alcoholism, anxiety and stress and pollution, which forms part of everybody’s lives, also plays a role.

vitamins directly from edible plants and animals.

Minerals are essential for the effective absorption of vitamins.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS: Polyunsaturated fats/oils are essential for optimum health, because they cannot be manufactured by the body. They reduce the risk of many diseases, including cancer, heart disease, allergies, depression and others. Two of the most important are Omega 3 (from flax and fish oils) and Omega 6 (from seed oils). Modern food choices are often deficient in Omega 3 and to a lesser extent Omega 6. Current research indicates that supplementation of Omega 3 and, to a lesser extent, Omega 6 is necessary for brain functioning and general body health.

What micronutrients are most crucial to your health?

VITAMINS: These are organic substances necessary for life. Most cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained from food and dietary supplements.

Vitamins regulate metabolism through enzyme systems. Deficiencies can endanger the whole body.

MINERALS: 4% of the body is made from minerals. They are used to regulate and balance body chemistry. Macro-minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium are needed in large quantities by the body whilst trace-minerals, such as chromium, iodine, manganese and selenium are needed in much smaller quantities. Animals eat plants which, in turn, absorb minerals from the soil. People then obtain minerals and ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 2

Did you know?

Higher intakes of Vitamin C, betacarotene and Vitamin E may lower your risk of lung cancer by 68%.

What are dietary supplements?

They are specific formulations intended to supplement the human diet with vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional elements, which are essential for the proper functioning of the human body.

ROOIBOS EXTRACT: Aspalathus linearis is a herbal plant found only on the slopes of the Cedarberg Mountains in the Western Cape (South Africa). It has powerful anti-allergic and antioxidant properties. It contains the calming quercetin and luteolin and a unique flavonoid, aspalathin that supports cell stabilisation. The naturally occurring enzymes in Rooibos enhance the absorption of other active ingredients, giving better results.

Supplements need to be taken with adequate amounts of water.

The body consists of about 80% water and can lose about 1.5 litres a day through the skin, lungs, gut and via the kidneys as urine, thereby enabling toxic substances to be eliminated. Water is necessary for the maintenance of optimum health and the efficiency of all the body’s systems.

Some important pointers about water and other fluids: • DRINK 30ml of pure water per kg of body mass (For example, a 50kg person should drink 50 x 30ml per day = 1.5 litres).

• MINIMISE the intake of alcohol, coffee and normal tea. (Alcohol acts as a diuretic and thus dehydrates the body). Diluted fruit juices, herbal teas and especially Rooibos are preferable to alcohol, tea or coffee.

• THIRST is a late indicator of the need to drink – we should therefore drink throughout the day and not just when we feel thirsty!

• TYPES OF WATER: Tap water – may contain chemical additives for purification. If possible, avoid it or use a recommended filter.

Distilled water – is pure but contains no minerals as they were left behind in the distillation process.

Mineral water – is good, but only if correctly bottled at source and without the introduction of contaminants and bacterial overload. Check the label for mineral content.

Statistics on use of dietary supplements

• Americans are spending about $20 billion per year on dietary supplements.

• About 50% of adults take a daily multivitamin.

• According to the American Department of Agriculture, 28% of us fall short on the recommended daily intake of vitamin B1.

• Almost 86% of people don’t get enough Vitamin E in their diet.

• The American Department of Health Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report showed that more than half the adult population doesn’t meet its recommended daily requirement. 76% of smokers are below par in terms of their daily requirement and only 7% of Americans meet the estimated average requirement of Vitamin E. • Although information on zinc deficiency in South Africa is lacking, a study carried out by the Nutritional Intervention Research Unit (NIRU) of the Medical Research Council (MRC) showed that 27% of preschool children and 34% of primary school children in a rural community in KwaZuluNatal are zinc deficient.

• NIRU also found that 33% (1.8 million) of children under six years of age suffer from subclinical vitamin A deficiency, while 21% (1.2 million) are anaemic.

CORE NUTRITION Core Nutrition forms the nucleus of Forever Healthy.

Great health starts in the body’s digestive system, where nutrients from food and supplements are broken down, absorbed and distributed to the rest of the body. An unhealthy or damaged digestive tract and diseased organs will starve the rest of the body of essential nutrients and allow toxins into the bloodstream.

OptiFlora

Probiotic for digestive support

Most people have less than optimal digestive systems, leading to poor absorption of nutrients. The digestive system contains flora and enzymes that break down and absorb nutrients from food. Taking probiotics will ensure that the maximum nutrition is extracted from food and supplements and allows the digestive system to heal itself.

Probiotic means ‘for life’ in Greek. These friendly micro organisms, when taken in adequate amounts, form the core of nutritional supplements, as their use positively influences the whole body and your overall health.

OptiFlora contains probiotic species, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, Rooibos extract and fructo-oligosaccharides, for the good bacteria in the formula to feed off, promoting rapid multiplication of healthy flora and enzymes.

More reasons to take OptiFlora daily

• Improves bowel function and digestion.

• Promotes the absorption of nutrients.

• Boosts your immune system by helping to control and destroy potentially disease causing organisms.

• Our modern eating habits lead to a deficiency in good bacteria in the gut.

• Essential for overall health and wellbeing.

OptiMega For heart and brain support

OptiMega contains omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs) to support the two most critical organs in the body, the heart and the brain.

Apart from this, EFAs have many more health promoting benefits.

Get Heart Smart

The Eskimo diet contains the highest amount of cholesterol in the world, yet they suffer the least heart attacks and cardiovascular disease. Why? Their diets consist almost solely of fish and raw seal meat, so they get enough omega 3 and 6 oils through their diets to keep them healthy. Heart disease is the biggest modern day illness facing human kind, yet it can easily be prevented.

5 Conditions

OptiCalMag For bone, heart and arterial system support

More than just Building Better Bones Calcium is one of the most important minerals in the body, and it is also the most abundant. Most people know calcium and magnesium to build strong teeth and bones, but it also plays a crucial role in muscle and blood vessel function, functioning of the nervous system and it helps the heart muscle to function properly. Because calcium is so important, the body will OptiCalMag do everything in its power to obtain it. If you are not getting enough calcium from contains your diet, the body will extract it from your teeth and bones. The body’s ability to Calcium Cit rate absorb calcium also declines as we age. This means our bones begin to weaken for better and can lead to osteoporosis. This is why supplementation becomes even more absorption critical – especially for women. It is also critical to understand acidity, when taking calcium supplements. Most foods are acid forming and the body needs an alkaline environment to perform optimally. If the body is too acidic, you will not be able to optimally absorb the nutrients from food and supplementation. Here Annique’s Opti ToniQ+ enables the body to maintain an alkaline environment.

There are different forms of calcium and magnesium used in supplements, of which the quality and body’s ability to absorb these vary dramatically. It is important to look for a quality calcium supplement that is more bioavailable, rather than for quantity of calcium contained.

OptiCalMag contains calcium citrate which is combined with citric acid and doesn’t need stomach acid to be absorbed.

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer. It counteracts the effects of calcium, a muscle contractor, and it is therefore critical to take a supplement of 3 parts of magnesium to 4 parts of calcium.

It’s all about Absorption When choosing a calcium supplement, it is important to look for ingredients that enhance calcium absorption, as this is one of the major challenges the body faces. South Africans do not get adequate amounts of calcium through their diets, and therefore need supplements to aid in the supply and optimal absorption of this calcium. Our diets are also shown to be lacking in magnesium, so a calcium supplement with more magnesium compensates for this deficiency. It is also critical to understand acidity, when taking calcium supplements. Most foods are acid forming and the body needs an alkaline environment to perform optimally. If the body is too acidic, you will not be able to optimally absorb the nutrients from food and supplementation. Here Annique’s OptiToniQ+ enables the body to maintain an alkaline environment.

Did you know that Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin that the body is able to manufacture? Vitamin D3, gained from sunlight is absorbed into the body.

Unfortunately due to the high risk of skin cancer from sun exposure, most people avoid the sun, thereby reducing their Vitamin D3 intake, which is crucial for calcium absorption and bone growth.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 11

Quality vs. Quantity There are different forms of calcium and magnesium used in supplements, of which the quality and body’s ability to absorb these vary dramatically.

It is important to look for a quality calcium supplement that is more bioavailable, rather than for the quantity of calcium contained.

The most common forms of calcium used in supplements is calcium carbonate and to a lesser extent calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is combined with carbonic acid to form calcium carbonate. This form of calcium needs adequate amounts of stomach acid to be absorbed. Calcium citrate is combined with citric acid and doesn’t need stomach acid to be absorbed. Many people battle with the correct amount and quality of stomach acid to properly digest and absorb food. This occurs as a result of our modern day diets, illness, medication and as we age, our stomach’s ability to produce acid declines, which leads to poor absorption of nutrients.

OptiFlora aids in healing the stomach and digestive tract, enhancing the absorption of vitamins and minerals.

The amount of calcium and magnesium you get from a supplement depends on the elemental value of the mineral. Calcium carbonate contains 40% elemental calcium, and citrate contains 21%. At a glance, it may seem that the carbonate form is a better option, but the absorption benefits when taking the citrate form massively outweighs that of the carbonate form.

People can easily overdose on calcium carbonate that can again lead to calcification of arteries and other health problems.

INSURANCE NUTRITION

Your Safety Net Insurance nutrition provides a means to proactively manage your potential health risks, by providing the necessary nutrients to maintain health and prevent disease and illness. These supplements provide essential protection and should also be taken daily for optimum results.

OptiC

For antioxidant support Vitamin C is one of the safest, most effective and well known vitamins. The human body cannot produce this crucial vitamin, so if you don’t supplement it, your health is at risk. Vitamin C has amazing health properties, from supporting the cardiovascular and immune systems to lowering the risk of cancer and building collagen and tissue for a beautiful skin, yet most of us don’t get anywhere near these benefits because we don’t get enough Vitamin C.

5

Why we don’t get enough vitamin C

Reasons

to supplement with OptiC

• Our modern diets do not contain enough raw fruit and vegetables.

• The NRV (nutritional reference value previously known as RDA (recommended daily allowance) is set too low.

• • • •

It is packed with potent antioxidants.

Fights infections, boosting your immune system.

Helps to protect against heart disease and cancer.

Q&A WHAT IS OptiToniQ+?

OptiToniQ+ is 100% pure, natural and organic balanced water concentrate with Himalayan crystal salt, containing 84 minerals and trace elements which are identical to and essential for the human body.

WHAT IS HIMALAYAN CRYSTAL SALT?

THE BENEFITS OF OPTITONIQ+

OptiToniQ+ contributes to a healthier lifestyle by stimulating our body‘s unique ability to regenerate itself.

OptiToniQ+ is: • pH Balancing – It makes the body slightly alkaline, rendering it uninhabitable to viruses, bacteria and fungi.

• Anti-ageing – replacing essential micro-minerals ensures cells are regenerated to their original design.

It helps your body regenerate healthier, younger, energetic and normal cells for improved skin, hair, nails, organ function and brain health.

Himalayan crystal salt, is salt in its native form, that helps promote a healthy balance in your body. It contains all of the trace elements and minerals that are found in the body and can be immediately absorbed. Himalayan crystal salt comes from the Himalayan mountain range, where millions of years ago, a vast ocean covered that area. It is pure, unpolluted, mineral rich salt that has been crystallised in the earth over millions of years. It does not burden the body as other salts do. Himalayan crystal salt regulates the water content of the body, and can be considered a food.

CAN I ADD HIMALAYAN SALTS TO ORDINARY WATER AND EXPECT THE SAME HEALTH BENEFITS AS ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM OptiToniQ+?

No. Himalayan salts provides the 84 minerals needed by the human body, but OptiToniQ+ is re-energised water – purified water that has regained light, gravity, oxygen and movement energy – saturated with Himalayan salts. This solution is identical to cell fluid, and can therefore be absorbed immediately into cells, without burdening the body.

WHAT DOES OptiToniQ+ DO? OptiToniQ+ Age Defence Solution will balance your body’s pH, making it impossible for viruses, bacteria and cancer to survive, and it provides the 84 minerals the body needs to balance itself and function at optimum levels. Your body identifies OptiToniQ+ immediately. It hydrates, detoxes and feeds cells with 84 minerals. It is the basis of all nutrition. All the cells in the body start to function properly.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 14

Q&A WHAT IS LIVING WATER?

Living water refers to how water was constituted millions of years ago, before man’s interference with Mother Nature. Living water contains a specific balance of energy and minerals. It heals, nourishes and revitalises cells. Living water resonates with energy from the sun, reveals exquisite crystalline structures, reflecting its vitality. It is saturated with oxygen and contains a wide variety of minerals and trace elements.

WHY SHOULD I TAKE OptiToniQ+?

OptiToniQ+ feeds your body’s cells.

OptiToniQ+ seeks to restore your body’s balance. It hydrates, oxygenates, nourishes and detoxifies the cells. OptiToniQ+ can help the body prevent illness, disease and ageing.

CAN I TAKE OptiToniQ+ WHEN I‘VE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE? Yes, contrary to common table salt (sodium chloride), OptiToniQ+ can be used by those with high blood pressure. In fact, the OptiToniQ+ will lower the blood pressure.

Those with low blood pressure can also consume OptiToniQ+ and their blood pressure will rise. This means that OptiToniQ+ is not only a blood pressure lowering remedy.

OptiToniQ+‘s fundamental attribute is to restore the body’s balance.

CAN I TAKE OptiToniQ+ WHILE I‘M PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING? We recommend that a pregnant woman should always consult a health practitioner first, before taking OptiToniQ+ during pregnancy or breast feeding. Pregnant women often suffer from numerous nutritional deficiencies, because the developing foetus is constantly drawing nutrients from its mother. This is why many pregnant women crave certain types of food during pregnancy. Their bodies need additional nutrients. OptiToniQ+ is a natural and well-balanced saltwater solution containing organic colloidal minerals and trace elements, of which the human body is comprised. OptiToniQ+ can therefore complement and improve the intake of (healthy) food and nutritional supplements prescribed by the health practitioner.

WILL OptiToniQ+ INFLUENCE MY HORMONE MEDICATION? No, it can’t interfere with the action of medication. It will help your body cope better with the treatment. It is microsupplementation.

IS OptiToniQ+ A MEDICINE? No, OptiToniQ is a lifestyle product and classified as revitalised structured cell water with balancing and energising effects at a cellular level, when drinking it in diluted form. OptiToniQ+ is part of a holistic healing approach by stimulating our body‘s innate regulatory abilities to restore energy balance. +

HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE OptiToniQ+?

OptiToniQ+ is a lifestyle product, and for maximum benefits, should be taken on a daily basis. When you start taking OptiToniQ+ you will most likely not suddenly be healed or feel and look younger. You will most probably experience subtle changes in your health and only after a few months will you realise the results. It fits in perfectly with Annique’s Lifestyle philosophy and thus it should form part of your lifestyle.

WILL I FEEL A DIFFERENCE WHEN USING OptiToniQ+?

The response after taking OptiToniQ+ varies from person to person. In the first period of taking OptiToniQ+ one can experience certain side-effects because of the detoxification or healing crisis that the body goes through.

One of the results of taking OptiToniQ+ is the removal of toxins from the body. These symptoms may include headaches, nausea, frequent urination, diarrhoea, extreme tiredness and lower back pain. These detoxifying symptoms normally last between 1 to 7 days. We have not heard of anyone experiencing it for longer than 2 weeks. The severity and the duration of this detoxifying is experienced, is however, completely unique to each individual taking the product and is proportional in its intensity to the condition of the person‘s body taking it at time. A normal result of taking OptiToniQ+ is a thirst for water.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON‘T FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE WHEN TAKING THE OptiToniQ+?

Results vary per person. Sometimes a person is unaware of the work that OptiToniQ+ is facilitating at deep cellular levels. A person does not literally have to feel a difference.

OptiToniQ+ is designed to raise the frequency of all organs, making them more resistant to the lower frequencies of viruses, bacteria and parasites. The strengthening of the immune system enables the body to become more capable of fighting micro-organisms that could be harmful to the general health.

CAN I TAKE OptiToniQ+ WHEN I AM ALREADY TAKING NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS? Yes, OptiToniQ+ can be used in conjunction with nutritional supplements because its increases the bio-availability of these other substances, enabling the body to more effectively utilise them. OptiToniQ+ provides 84 minerals that increases the absorption of vitamins and minerals in micro nutrients.

OptiToniQ+ must be taken together with multivitamin supplements (like Annique OptiVite and OptiC). It is safe to use with OptiClear and all other Annique Forever Healthy and Forever Slim supplements. Please consult your medical practitioner before using OptiToniQ+ if you are pregnant or under medical care.

AM I CHEATING IF I USE OptiToniQ+ DURING SPORTS COMPETITIONS? No, OptiToniQ+ is 100% pure, natural and organic and contains no alcohol, glucose or ingredients that can be associated with any form of enhancing performance drug.

WHAT IS THE EXPIRY DATE OF OptiToniQ+?

We have a one year expiry after date of manufacture. Once opened, use the OptiToniQ+ within 90 days. Always store the OptiToniQ+ in a cool, odourless place, away from direct sunlight.

WHY CAN’T I DILUTE OptiToniQ+ IN TAP WATER? The chlorine in tap water will destroy the delicate mineral and other properties in the OptiToniQ+ solution. Use filtered, distilled, ionised, or purified water (achieved through reverse osmosis).

CAN I USE BOILED WATER TO DILUTE OptiToniQ+?

No. Boiling water will not remove the chlorine,

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 15

and will therefore destroy the health and revitalising properties of OptiToniQ+.

CAN I TAKE OptiToniQ+ UNDILUTED? Yes. It is however strongly advised to drink a glass of chlorine free water after taking OptiToniQ+ in undiluted form. You can even add OptiToniQ+ to your food as seasoning.

The best way to take OptiToniQ+ is to add it to water – add a few drops to an empty glass and top up with chlorine free water. This ensures maximum dispersion of the minerals in the water.

I CAN’T ALWAYS BUY BOTTLED WATER AND ALSO DO NOT HAVE A WATER PURIFYING SYSTEM IN MY HOME OR OFFICE. HOW CAN I TAKE OptiToniQ+?

There are different ways you can take your OptiToniQ+. The best way is with chlorine free water, but if you do not have access to chlorine free water, you can take OptiToniQ+ as follows: • In milk or Annique Lifestyle Shake (made with milk or chlorine free water) • Rooibos tea (made with chlorine free water) • Sprinkle over your food • Take drops undiluted

OptiRooibos is your natural health insurance for you and your family!

The Annique Rooibos story started in 1968, when Dr. Annique Theron discovered Rooibos’ ability to soothe and calm her baby daughter, relieving the infant of colic and insomnia. Amazed by its natural healing potential, Dr. Annique went on to investigate and document its health promoting abilities, including its antioxidant, antiallergenic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. She founded Annique Rooibos Health and Beauty in 1971 and went on to develop the first Rooibos skincare and health range in the world.

Why do we need ANTIOXIDANTS? Antioxidants destroy free radicals. Free radicals are rogue oxygen molecules, that have lost an electron. That loss makes them unstable (in chemical terms, reactive), causing them to ‘steal’ neighbouring molecules’ electrons, causing them to operate like terrorists in the body. The damage caused by free radicals is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation are bananas turning brown when left unpeeled or the rusting of iron.

ROOIBOS CAN PREVENT CANCER

Studies at the Medical Research Council (MRC)’s PROMEC unit, completed by Dr Janine Marnewick, Excess free radicals in the body contribute to the development of oxidative stress, which shows that 6 cups of Rooibos a day plays a major role in the development of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. can help to prevent cancer. It reduces cancer-associated changes in cells by Free radicals attack healthy cells, leading to dysfunction, mutation and cancer.

Free radicals are caused by:

What are ANTIOXIDANTS?

Antioxidants are molecules that help to eradicate free radicals. Some antioxidants are called polyphenols. These are most commonly found in plants and are the type of antioxidants found in Rooibos, specifically a polyphenol called Asphalathin.

An antioxidant is an organic molecule that can counteract the damaging effects of free radicals in tissues, or molecules that protect the body from free radical damage.

The presence of antioxidants in the body can “mop up” free radicals before they damage essential cells.

How are ANTIOXIDANTS measured?

ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) is a scale that measures the antioxidant capacity of foods and supplements. The antioxidants in any type of food are measured by their capacity to absorb free radicals.

It is generally accepted that an intake of 3000 to 5000 ORAC per day, is required to support the body. However, recent studies have suggested that people have a vast variety of lifestyles and that necessitates needs that require higher levels of antioxidants – up to 21 000 a day.

It is important to note that antioxidants should be acquired from a variety of foods and supplements, for optimal benefits. Other antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, etc.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 16

ROOIBOS CAN PROTECT AGAINST HEART DISEASE Dr Marnewick’s studies also shows the potential of 6 cups of Rooibos tea which, if consumed daily, help protect against oxidative stress and inflammation associated with the development of heart disease.

Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, in favour of oxidants. An excess of these oxidants can damage important cellular components such as lipids, proteins and DNA, resulting in the development of several major degenerative diseases.

Safety during pregnancy and breast feeding has not been established, so these women should consult their health practitioner before taking OptiRooibos.

Is Stress Getting to You? Stress is one of the most impactful modern day ailments that affect people. Stress leads to secondary health problems and influences our health and wellbeing, but you can counter your stress levels naturally.

Researchers at the Stellenbosch University have found that Rooibos extracts can help us deal with the negative effects of stress. Amanda Swart, senior lecturer and researcher at the Biochemistry Department says “Rooibos extract inhibits the biosynthesis of the stress hormone, cortisol”. She also says “this is good news as the stress we experience on a daily basis leads to abnormally high cortisol levels, which are associated with increased anxiety, high blood pressure, suppressed immunity and diabetes.”

Annique has known for years that Rooibos tea calms and relaxes and now this research underlines the fact that Rooibos has essential health and wellness properties.

OptiClear Aids in removing heavy toxins and heavy metals

Why use OptiClear?

• If you have problems losing weight – a good course of 2 months can result in effortless weightloss for the first time!

• Turn back the effects of free radicals and, therefore, ageing. OptiClear restores organ equilibrium which enables the body to do its own repairing work.

• Want to see allergies disappear? A toxic liver or body is the main cause of allergic responses in the body.

• Medical research has shown great relief and benefit for: ¡ porphyria ¡ migraine ¡ chemo-patients ¡ irritable bowl syndrome (IBS) ¡ spastic colon ¡ gastro-intestinal problems [heartburn and ulcers] • Cigarette craving declined in some users.

• Sugar craving declined in most users.

• PMS symptoms declined in most users.

• Energy levels improved in all users.

12

Zero Tolerance OptiClear contains AbsorbatoxTM that adsorbs heavy metals, toxins and nitrates. Heavy metal toxicity can have detrimental effects on your health. OptiClear is FDA certified, helps to restore organ equilibrium and is safe to use (it doesn’t get absorbed into the blood stream, but stays in the gastro-intestinal tract) even in severe cases. Absorbatox™ adsorbs toxins, changing its molecular structure and rendering it harmless, after which the body removes it naturally.

OptiClear acts as a sponge in the stomach and adsorbs the toxins produced in much the same way as a sponge soaks up water. In addition, it removes any foreign substances in the body. Assume, for instance, that a beer drinker has consumed 5 beers in 45 minutes. By the time possibly 2 beers would have been absorbed into the bloodstream, with the remaining 3 beers waiting in the stomach for absorbsion into the bloodstream.

Ingesting OptiClear capsules will sponge up the three beers in the stomach, effectively keeping the alcohol in the stomach until it has passed through the digestive system and out of the body.

Ailments OptiClear can help sort

• Toxic overload.

• Heavy metal toxicity.

• Cancer (especially chemo patients – take 2 hours before or after treatments).

• Migraine and headaches.

• Depression.

• Arthritis.

OptiClear – takes the “ugly” out of drinking!

Holiday indulgence relief

When is it best to use it?

OptiClear is an entirely natural product, and has been validated as absolutely safe for human consumption by many leading authorities. The product has been refined with the addition of antioxidants and multivitamins.

The ideal situation is to take OptiClear after 2 drinks, however taking it before, during or after will still have a very strong result.

You may also choose to take 3 OptiClear capsules at the end of the evening before retiring. If one has been drinking moderately but feels slightly tipsy then it is also advisable to take OptiClear.

How does it work?

OptiClear acts as an sponge in the stomach and adsorbs the toxins produced from alcohol consumption, much the same way as a sponge soaks up water. In addition it removes any foreign substances in the body that should not be there.

Assume for instance that a beer drinker has consumed 5 beers in 45 minutes. By that time possibly 2 beers would have been absorbed into the bloodstream, with the remaining 3 beers waiting in the stomach for absorption into the bloodstream.

Ingesting OptiClear capsules will have the effect of sponging up the 3 beers in the stomach, effectively keeping the alcohol in the stomach until it is passed through the digestive system, and out of the body.

It is important to understand that OptiClear is unique in its pharmacological action as opposed to other products on the market.

A heavy bout of over-indulgence may possibly deplete these vital elements, causing under-performance by the liver.

However, OptiClear remains primarily inside the gastro intestinal tract giving the liver the time to replenish these vital elements naturally, and cope with its purification role.

Is OptiClear safe?

Extensive tests have been carried out into the possible side effects of OptiClear. There are no known side effects and is completely safe to ingest. OptiClear can be taken daily as a natural health supplement, or can be consumed before, during or after drinking.

Is there medical accreditation?

Yes, there have been various studies showing OptiClear’s efficacy, its non-toxicity and safety. This makes OptiClear unique as a product!

Are there any limitations?

Again other factors such as metabolism, stress and fatigue may affect the consumer of OptiClear in slightly different ways on different occasions.

Never drink and drive!

OptiClear can be used as a hangover cure as well if you did not take it while drinking the night before. 3 capsules will quickly dispel the painful effects of over-indulgence and soon leave you feeling invigorated and ready to face the new day. Some people drink OptiClear simply as a health supplement, even though they have not had any alcohol.

PURIFY with OptiClear

by Bev Tonkin

Here are some notes on the detoxification process so you can be prepared for them when you start taking OptiClear.

You will see that the 4th, 7th or 15th day can be the worst for detox symptoms. However, I always recommend that my clients start taking one OptiClear capsule at night with a full glass of water, starting on a Friday night when the weekend ahead is fairly clear of engagements and you can rest.

If the detox symptoms are uncomfortable, then miss a night and take one capsule the following evening to slow the process down. Continue in this manner until you no longer feel any adverse symptoms. You can then up the dosage to one capsule in the morning and one in the evening. Please ensure that you take the OptiClear two hours before or after any medication. n The reactions can start occurring within hours of starting the OptiClear. It is very important to drinks lots of water to facilitate the detox process (8 glasses per day while on OptiClear). n As soon as the healing crisis occurs (4th, 7th, 15th day) you will start feeling the beneficial effects of the diminishing toxicity in your body. n In my experience, every client has shown a different detox pattern but usually after the 4th day there is a great improvement and my clients have coped very well with their working lives.

DETOXIFICATION Detoxification occurs when the variety and quantity of foods introduced into the body is restricted. This allows the body to eliminate toxins that have built up over time as a result of incorrect eating. The body will know how much and what kind of toxic matter should be eliminated.

The mode of elimination is called the healing crisis. In other words, when the food intake is reduced, the body will immediately try to get rid of excess matter. Signs that toxins are being eliminated can occur within hours or days. These could be evidenced in headaches, dizziness, weakness, and a queasy feeling in the stomach.

The healing crisis often occurs in one of five forms:

n Obviously we are dealing with the body, which is a complex organism that cannot be programmed, so the results in each person will be different.

From my own personal experience the OptiClear removed 10 heavy metals from my body and I am very impressed with this product. The testimonials that are being fed back to us from our many clients are very encouraging. n This product has been screened and approved by the Medicines Control Council.

Detox symptoms will also occur when you use the Lifestyle Shake to replace carbohydrate-rich meals; when taking Detox tea; and Body Clear capsules.

n nosebleed, n vomiting, n excessive urination, n perspiration, or n diarrhoea.

The crises may occur at any time, but usually follows a pattern of four, seven, or fifteen days, depending upon the type of substances to be eliminated.

The type of healing crisis can be known ahead of time: n Nosebleed will be preceded by dull sense of hearing, ringing in the ears, tears, nose itching, and beating of the veins in the temples. n Vomiting signs are asthma, change in rhythm of breathing, bitter taste in mouth, cardiac pain, stomach convulsions, lower pulse rate, and trembling of lower lip. n Excessive Urination signs are heaviness of the bladder, thickness and excess urine, bright colour of urine on the fourth day of detoxification and the crisis on the seventh day. n Perspiration signs are lightheadedness, itching, and alternating chills and fever. n Diarrhoea signs are intestinal pain and cramping, heaviness of body, stomach gas, backache, coloured faeces, and grumbling intestines.

The correction of the body occurs from top to bottom. Thus the first sign is usually headache, the last diarrhoea.

Detoxification is not dangerous to people who have no serious disease but those suffering from any degenerative disease or who are taking medication should do so with the agreement and support of their doctor. Pregnant or nursing women should not undergo detoxification.

Stories on

OptiClear I could halve my headache medication after only two weeks on OptiClear.  Kay-Helene Joubert My eczema simply disappeared in less than 10 days on OptiClear.  Andries I am very allergic to anything containing dairy. The last two weeks have been wonderful, I only had to take a single half dose of antihistamine in a week. Before OptiClear, I had to take at least one full dose per day!  Celeste van der Walt On August 11, I went to a B.E.S.T. Practitioner for an assessment, especially with regards to my levels of heavy metal toxicity. On November 6, I returned for a follow-up assessment after I had taken two OptiClear capsules a day since October 31, 2006. RESULT: there was a complete removal of ten heavy metals in just six days. Metals removed were mercury, molybdenum, nickel, bismuth, vanadium, calcium.  Bev Tonkin A client of mine was retaining water in his brain. It used to run down into his spine. He experienced a lot of migraines, stomach pains and severe back pains. He used to go to the doctors every Saturday to drain the water from his spine. His back was so sore that you couldn‘t even

touch him. On 5 August I put him on OptiClear and kept in touch with him to see how he was doing. On 12 August he came home and this was the result: ever since he‘s been on OptiClear the migraines have stopped, he no longer gets any stomach pains and his back feels so much better that he cancelled his doctors’ appointment that Saturday. He looks so much better and he feels much better too. His OptiClear is with him everywhere he goes, and he thanks me every day for saving his life. It makes me feel so good to know that I was able to help another person.  Pam I am not too sure if this has been mentioned in previous testimonials, but my mother-in law uses OptiClear for her menopause/hot flushes. It works like a bomb and she can’t go without it. (My father-in-law hasn’t stopped thanking me!)  Hilton Elliot Congratulations to Annique on this product. My experience with OptiClear: My husband developed a fat gland in his neck in 1999 which the doctor had to remove. It left an ugly scar and took ages to heal because he is a diabetic. He had constant infection in the neck hairs especially after a hair cut. The wounds left scarring after removing the infection.

It took a very long time to heal. Last year another gland formed in his neck. After the launch of OptiClear in October, he started taking one OptiClear capsule per day. By the beginning of December we noticed a big improvement. The gland’s size was reduced and the neck hairs were

I am currently using OptiClear; a week ago I started with my second container. Since I started using it, I could feel that something is happening, but I didn’t know exactly what. My doctor has been battling for a few months to stabilise my blood pressure, which suddenly hit the ceiling 230/130. My blood pressure has been an issue since 1985. I also have other aches and pains, arthritis, low back pain, etc. at the age of 59.

I started feeling light-headed three weeks ago; I tested my blood pressure, 190/130. The dizzy feeling became worse and I had my blood pressure tested again, 150/90. At this moment I was on four different tablets to stabilise my high blood pressure condition.

I had my blood pressure taken yesterday, a result of 130/70 – NORMAL! I use Warfarin to control the composition of my blood, as my blood has the tendency to be too thick which has serious health risks. I had to stop the Warfarin because I had a wisdom tooth removed. After the procedure the dentist told me that there was no blood during the extraction. And my tooth hasn’t bled since. Everybody knows the procedure of removing wisdom teeth entails pain, swelling and discomfort. I had no swelling and

free of all infection. Again, thank you Annique for a wonderful product.  Elsabé I would like to express my healthfelt gratitude to the Annique consultant, Pam, for recommending OptiClear to me. My 60-year old uncle was very ill recently. He suffered from fluid retention in his lungs which affected his breathing, energy levels and caused swelling between his knees and feet. He could not walk a metre without stopping to catch his breath. It was very difficult for him to sleep, due to the underperformance of his lungs. As a result, his heart worked overtime, which lead to the weakening of his heart and poor blood circulation.

It has been a month since he started using OptiClear and his health has improved tremendously. He now has more energy to walk around and interact with the family. The swelling of his legs has come down. Most importantly, he is able to sleep peacefully and rest, as he was advised by doctors.

His illness has not been properly diagnosed but OptiClear has worked wonders by helping to alleviate some of the symptoms that has caused him so much discomfort in the past few months.

It is my understanding that some products are met with scepticism and I have to admit that I was sceptical about OptiClear. After seeing what it has done for my uncle, I would gladly recommend the product to anyone.  Rebecca Chellan

experienced no pain. Eight o’clock that evening the wound healed completely which is very unusual, according to the dentist it could take up to four days for the wound to heal.

With my next visit, I took my bottle of OptiClear with and placed it in front of the dentist. I asked him to look at my wound, it was almost completely healed, there was just a small cavity, because the tissue had to heal from inside.

But I healed so well that you wouldn’t even think that I had a wisdom tooth removed, and my blood pressure was normal.

The most wonderful thing for me is that the fine lines on my face were less prominent. It looks as if I have had a facelift, even the skin on my hands are more firm and nourished.

Whatever the formula of these capsules, to me it is an absolute miracle, it really works for me. I feel healthy, I am relieved from the wooziness in my head, my body feels more streamlined and I am slowly losing weight without being on a diet.

I am recommending this product to everybody; my conditions are a real example of something that really works. I am very excited and I would like to thank you!

Testimonials to the miracles this product can deliver

Our Annique Miracle - by Piroska Seute I’m writing this letter in the hope to reach as many people as possible who live disillusioned, helpless and restricted lives due to poor health and illness.

At the age of 39 I developed excruciating pain in all my joints and muscles, especially in my spine and hip bones, debilitating migraines, constant attacks of diarrhoea and vomiting and problems with my vision. My hair fell out and my skin was covered in angry red blotches.

Although I went to innumerable doctors and tried every remedy advertised, my condition deteriorated to such an extent that I could no longer feed or bathe myself. In brief, I became totally dependent on others.

At this time I became deeply depressed and well meaning professionals prescribed antidepressants which, together with lack of exercise, changed my dress size of 32 to 38.

Towards the end of 2002, I was referred to a specialist rheumatologist who diagnosed me with a genetic and degenerative disease called spondiloarthropathy.

Pam Simeon A client of mine was suffering with water in his lungs and with swollen legs from the knee down. He could not sleep or walk without pain. He had to sleep sitting up and was coughing a lot. So with the permission of the family, I put him on OptiClear and in one week his condition improved, the swelling has gone down, he is sleeping much better, he is walking up and down the stairs and is moving around more freely and without pain. Thanks to OptiClear he is feeling much better.

On the 29/01/2007 Pam Simeon

did an experiment on her husband who is a renal patient and is currently on CAPD home dialysis. The reason for this experiment was the results of his blood test on that day which was very high. He was unable to walk without pain, unable to do anything with his family, and slept all the time because of the pain he was in. So two days after the OptiClear launch she decided to put him on the OptiClear capsules, one capsule at night and after just two days he saw results in himself, he was more mobile and not in so much pain. That evening when he got back from work, he kept going on about how good the capsules were and how much they With physiotherapy I regained some mobility but could not helped him. So she decided to put sit, drive or walk for longer than 30 minutes as my body would him to the test, that weekend she go into spasm. It was during this time that my children and took him to Gateway and we walked most of the friends I’ve known all my life decided to leave from the car park at Checkers S.A.

OptiAgeing For anti-ageing support One of the major causes of ageing is exposure to harmful free radicals from the environment, pollution and normal bodily functions. This leads to ageing and disease over time. The body also changes as we age, with most functions slowing down.

Ageing is an exceptionally complex process which is influenced and controlled by multiple factors, like lifestyle, diet, genes, disease, stress, etc.

Generally, it is defined as the gradual deterioration of our body cells. As we enter our mid to late thirties, our bodies undergo severe changes in terms of body fat, skin structure and moisture content, bone density, fertility, energy and immune system support.

A recent study by Dr Janine Marnewick, at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology shows the potential of six cups of Rooibos tea a day to protect against oxidative stress and inflammation associated with the development of heart disease.

“We have found that Rooibos is particularly effective at reducing oxidative damage to lipids (fats), thereby helping to prevent or slow down arteriosclerosis, or the hardening of arteries” she says.

DOSAGE: 1 capsule per day, or as recommended by your health care practitioner.

Turn Back the Clock

OptiAgeing contains potent antioxidants of Green Rooibos, Resveratrol and Grape Seed extract, combined with much needed amino acids. This unique formula works synergistically to help protect the body from free radical damage. The result: a more youthful appearance and healthier, better functioning organs.

Included in this formula is 200mg of Green Rooibos extract for its potent heart protecting, anti-cholesterol, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-ageing benefits.

Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant commonly found in red grape skins, peanuts, mulberries, Japanese knot weed and red wine. Resveratrol helps plants to ward off disease at stressful times.

It is considered by many scientists to be the antiageing breakthrough of the decade.

Studies have shown the amazing health promoting properties of Resveratrol, against cancer, as well as protecting the heart and brain from damage, and reducing age-related diseases such as inflammation. It is even thought to help prevent and treat diabetes, aids in weight loss and prolongs longevity.

Amino acids are the “building blocks” of proteins and are essential in many of the body’s vital functions. They are needed to form, repair and maintain muscle, tissue, bones, nails and hair.

L-Lysine, for instance helps to build and maintain collagen that is important for healthy skin and tissue in the body. L-Ornithine helps to fight the effects of ageing, L-Methionine is a protein building block, as well as an antioxidant. L-Carnitine aids in preventing and treating heart disease and diabetes, and can enhance brain function, protect the heart and liver and reduce fatigue.

OptiCalm For stress, memory and mood support 60 Softgel capsules

Contains Green Rooibos Extract for extra powerful antioxidants

Stress

is one of the biggest challenges humans are facing today. South Africans suffer from high stress levels because of our modern lifestyles, exposure to constant tension, high work ethic and stressful living conditions.

Stress can lead to anxiety, memory problems, fatigue, insomnia and agitation. In times of stress, the body prepares by heightening its state of alertness for the “fight or flight” reaction.

It also produces the ageing hormone, cortisol which creates toxins in the body and wreaks havoc on neurotransmitters and other hormones. Prolonged exposure to stress eventually depletes the body of vital vitamins and can cause burn-out and other major diseases.

OptiCalm contains essential B vitamins and phospholipids to help calm and relax the body, while it aids in improving memory, mood and your ability to cope.

Reasons to use OptiCalm:

• Reduces stress • Improves: ¡ Memory ¡ Mood ¡ Mental clarity ¡ Concentration ¡ Alertness Cont a ¡ Focus B1, B ins 2, B3 ,

Stress depletes the B vitamins in the body and this is why supplementation is crucial. Each of the B vitamins has its own specific role in the body, yet the entire group of nutrients is necessary for maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Taking a supplement, like OptiVite and OptiCalm with a complex of B vitamins is most beneficial, as they often work in synergy with one another.

Phospholipids are essential molecules that are found in cellular membranes. Two important phospholipids, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl serine are crucial for every cell in the human body to function normally. Like Omega 3 fatty acids, phospholipids are important for optimal brain health. They help brain cells communicate and influence how well receptors Dosage: function.

OptiSolve aids in preventing acne and soothing other skin conditions OptiSolve is most commonly known for assisting with improving acne, however it has a wide variety of other healing functions for anybody even if you do not suffer from acne, including detoxing the body, wound healing, reducing inflammation of muscles, as well as improving eczema and redness of the skin.

Most teenagers are affected by unsightly acne at some point during their teenage years. Some suffer from a few pimples, while other are affected severely with unsightly pimples, whiteheads and blackheads.

OptiSolve helps prevent acne in teenagers and young adults in two ways:

Teen acne occurs mostly on the face and neck, but can also affect the chest, back and arms. It is caused by hormonal changes during puberty (from 11 to 14 years of age) and can occur for most of the teen years.

• Helps to balance hormones that cause acne.

• Aids in strengthening the skin.

This simple, yet effective supplement will help the body in preventing and clearing up acne, from the inside out.

Important ingredients include: • Vitamin A – well known for its skin benefits, vitamin A is a potent antioxidant that aids in new cell growth and repair. It enables the body to fight infections more effectively and aids in controlling sebum production and therefore helps prevent pimples. Sebum is often overproduced when hormonal changes occur in the body, such as puberty.

• Vitamin C – a well-known antioxidant that aids in strengthening and healing of the skin. It aids in building collagen – the connective tissue in the skin and is helpful when inflammation and redness appears on the skin.

It also helps to protect vitamin E. • Vitamin E – aids in skin repair and wound healing and is necessary for the proper functioning of vitamin A in the body.

• Zinc – helps to boost the immune system, aids in tissue healing and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Zinc deficiency can trigger acne and many youngsters may have a zinc deficiency without even knowing about it. Extended supplementation of zinc may lower copper in the body which is why OptiSolve also contains copper to prevent this.

• Dandelion – helps to cleanse the

• Fibre from whole grains (limited), vegetables and fruit helps to clear out toxins).

• Fruit and vegetables have high water and micronutrient contents and help to maintain the optimum acid/alkaline balance in the body.

• Shellfish, seeds and nuts are zincrich foods that promote clear skin.

• Water hydrates (drink 6 to 8 glasses a day). Avoid sugar, refined carbohydrates, trans-fats (margarine), processed foods, dairy (if allergic or intolerant), iodized salt and alcohol. Limit cheese, chocolate, spicy foods and carbonated drinks.

Annique’s Face Facts range, Resque and MiracleTissue Oil is ideal for dealing with problem skin. It is also important to note that, contrary to popular belief, problem skin needs moisture and nourishment from a good moisturiser, like Moisture Shield SPF 8. A moisturiser is critically important together with calming down and nourishment of the acne skin.

WHY DRINK BIOHARMONY?

• Contains rejuvenating properties • Retards the ageing process of skin and body • Prevents loss of hair and promotes healthy hair growth • Relief of tension, stress, depression and insomnia • Rich source of energy

BioHarmony BioHarmony is a supereffective supplement and tonic addressing various illnesses like stress, allergies, sleeplessness, obesity and depression.

It helps and supports the body in functioning normally and ensures optimal absorption of nutrients, leading to a boost in energy levels and an improved immune system during stressful periods.

The main function of BioHarmony is the same as a tonic that ensures the absorption of nutrients, as well as the proper functioning thereof.

The Rooibos extract in BioHarmony

contains an enzyme (Superoxide dismutase) that is crucial to the digestive tract, helping the body to improve its normal functioning. This can lead to increased energy levels, health and vitality. Advantages of using BioHarmony include: n BioHarmony contains antioxidants and anti-ageing properties that slow the ageing process.

n BioHarmony can prevent hair loss, and can contribute to shinier hair with more body. n BioHarmony can limit the damage caused by the sun’s UV-rays, in conjunction with an adequate sun block.

How to use BioHarmony Depending on the health and age of the person, 1-5 (or more) sachets can be taken daily. Children older than two years may be given one sachet daily or half a sachet twice daily.

The granules can be consumed as is or can be

swallowed with a cold liquid like orange juice. Do not consume with hot liquids like coffee.

For children, BioHarmony can be added to cereal, rice, vegetables, fruit puree and scrambled eggs.

For adults, it can also be mixed with yoghurt.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 32

BioHarmony Description: A neatly packaged product. It is imported from Japan and is available in one packaging, namely 30 sachets.

The contents of every vacuum-packed sachet is granular and tasteless. It is easily swallowed with a bit of water or another appropriate liquid.

BioHarmony mainly consists of a high concentration of an extract of Rooibos, in combination with other extracts of mainly vegetable and fruit origin. All ingredients are natural; there are no synthetic additives.

Size: 30 sachets Instructions for use: Depending on the health and age of the customer, one to five (or more) sachets may be taken daily. Children older than two years may be given one sachet daily, or half a sachet twice daily. The sealed sachet is cut open with a pair of scissors; the opening is formed into a spout; the granules are poured onto the tongue and swallowed with some liquid.

For children BioHarmony may be added to cereal, rice, vegetables, fruit puree and scrambled eggs. Do not pour into hot soup or boiling water, since this destroys the enzymes in the product; by the same token, do not heat Rooibos in a microwave oven since radiation may destroy the essential enzyme it contains.

The function and background of BioHarmony:

Use:

BioHarmony is not a medicine and should not be regarded as such. It aids the body in improving its normal functioning in order to be more energetic and healthy.

Since BioHarmony is not a medicine, it may be safely used by all our customers – even children of only two years old. The main function of BioHarmony is the same as a tonic that ensures the absorption of nutrients as well as the proper functioning thereof.

BioHarmony is more effective when combined with Annique’s health care range. This makes sense: if no vitamins, minerals and other nutrients were available for utilisation, the body could not function properly.

BioHarmony, therefore, ensures the optimal utilisation of whatever we eat, no matter how little.

How does the Rooibos enzyme function?

Annique Theron has been propagating her discovery of the anti-allergic qualities of Rooibos since 1968. Her one-woman campaign bore fruit – not only locally, but also abroad. After she launched Rooibos in Japan, Japanese scientists did pioneer work in research on Rooibos, verifying her conclusions. Her book, “Allergies: An Amazing Discovery©” generated interest on a wide front in Japan. Her findings were also translated into Japanese.

Her visit to Japan in 1985 and a good mutual relationship resulted in her company obtaining the exclusive rights to market BioHarmony in South Africa.

Although BioHarmony serves as a nutritional supplement and tonic, it also combats our modern ailments such as stress, allergies, insomnia, obesity, depression, and various other vague maladies you’re at your wit’s end with.

Rooibos contains a certain vital enzyme essential for normal digestion and metabolism. As such, it plays a leading role in the maintenance of one’s health and appearance.

Nature provides the human body with two protective mechanisms to guard against the penetration of foreign substances. The majority of the activities occur in the leucocytes (white blood cells). When BioHarmony was researched in Japan, this was the area they concentrated on.

The environment we live in has a detrimental effect on the body's health and youthfulness. Intrusion by foreign substances from the environment may occur in various ways. These include preservatives, alcohol, smoking, medication, air pollution and solar radiation.

Air pollution is detrimental to the extent that all the pregnant women in a certain town in America began to have miscarriages.

The cause was traced to the polluted air they breathed.

When bacteria or some other detrimental particles penetrate the body - mainly through eating, breathing or because an internal contusion is being attacked by bacteria inside the body - they are immediately isolated and neutralised by the body’s protective mechanism in the leucocytes. cont...

A House filled with BioHarmony,

Lifestyle Shake and Hope

IN AUGUST 2010 my husband was in hospital for two weeks with heart failure.

After being discharged he lost his balance at home and fell with his back against the armrest of a stinkwood riempies-couch. It appeared that nothing was broken, but his physical and mental state deteriorated by the day. During a next appointment with the heart specialist, the doctor examined him, but as no ribs were broken, he did not think it necessary to have x-rays taken.

HOWEVER, MY HUSBAND’S condition deteriorated even further. Swelling started again and after two weeks he was admitted to hospital once more for acute heart failure.

The original specialist who had been treating him was on holiday and another doctor

took over, who found that my husband’s lungs were water logged. After ten days it was decided to drain the water by inserting a small pipe through his ribs. To everyone’s great surprise blood drained from his lungs.

HE WAS IMMEDIATELY transferred to the intensive care unit. By that time he had lost 10kg, so I began feeding him at every visit with a mixture of jelly for diabetes (he suffers from type 2 diabetes), 2 desert spoons Annique Lifestyle Shake, 1 BioHarmony sachet and a small jar of plain Bulgarian yoghurt. He ate this with enthusiasm and in no time his condition improved.

ON THE MONDAY after my children arrived from Australia, my son and I went to speak to the doctor in charge. He was not positive and was of the opinion that my husband ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 35

would most likely never go home again.

I CONTINUED FEEDING him the mix mentioned previously, and soon he began becoming conscious of his surroundings and he started recognising his visitors. After a week he was transferred to a general ward.

The doctors were amazed by his recovery and the nursing sisters said that the ‘muti’ I fed him, was a magic potion.

WITH THE LORD’S GRACE my husband’s condition improved to such an extent that he was discharged and able to go home after a week.

Needless to say, in my house there is always BioHarmony, Lifestyle Shake and loads of hope and trust!

One of Annique’s top consultants, Dalene Richter,

was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2008, after she discovered a lump in her left breast. She had a mastectomy of her left breast in September 2008, followed by eight chemotherapy treatments every three weeks. She also had six weeks of radiation. In November 2009 she had her right breast removed as well.

Dalene, who strongly believes in the health benefits of Rooibos tea, used the following Annique products during her treatment to boost her wellbeing and immune system.

“My hair did not fall out completely and I was able to carry on with my work – I only had to take off a few days after my treatment. I believe Rooibos tea and Annique crossed my path to help me through my cancer treatment,” she says.

“In 1987 my 87-year old mother fell and broke her hip.

She was in traction for 10 days, whereafter she was operated on to insert a plate into her hip. She came home after a month, but with pressure sores.

The superintendent of the hospital and the surgeon were not very positive about her prospects and told me she would never walk again and that I must find her a place in the frail care unit of an old age home.

I knew that this would speed up her death and made a plan. I started giving my mother three sachets of BioHarmony each day and, with the help of a physiotherapist, made her sit up regularly to ensure that she remained supple. At the end of the first week the nurse we contracted to look after my mother was surprised at the improvement in her condition as she had never seen pressure sores heal at such a rate before. After about a month, my mother visited my sister and one day she phoned me telling me my mother had just walked into the room. She took my mother to an orthopaedic surgeon who was surprised by her recovery, especially at such an advanced age.

Later on I reduced the BioHarmony to two and then one sachet per day and I believe it was due to Bioharmony that my mother lived another three years and she was mobile until her death at almost 91.”

Know the difference between hunger and cravings. The latter will only be satisfied by eating a specific food, while hunger is satisfied by eating enough of any food.

CAUSES OF CRAVINGS 1 Sugar

A sweet tooth is caused by a lack of chromium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin B3 and all of these are depleted by consuming anything sweet.

This depletion causes unstable insulin levels, which in turn will result in fluctuating blood sugar levels.

Solve this craving within 3 days by following 3 simple steps: • NO SUGAR OR STARCH • Supplement the necessary vitamins and minerals • Supplement 1000mg Omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite).

This will decrease the resistance of the cells to insulin.

REMEMBER: A PORTION OF PASTA IS EQUAL TO TWO CUPS OF SUGAR!

4 Ice

2 Starch

An abnormal need for ice is associated with an iron deficiency. Cold drinks and/or ice will prevent the absorption of iron.

• Take an iron supplement TOGETHER WITH OptiVite for one month. A liquid iron supplement is better. Then continue with OptiVite only.

• Monitor iron deficiency by noting the colour of your urine after eating beetroot.

The more intense the red colour, the lower your iron levels. If the deficiency returns or persists go to your doctor and ask for a Full Blood Count AND iron studies.

A craving for starch is associated with depression. Starch mimics tryptophan which transports serotonin to the brain.

This is why we always feel better after pasta or a sandwich.

However, the result is an insulin imbalance and you are back to square one!! To combat, implement the following: • Exclude starch from the diet or limit as far as possible.

• Replace starch with nuts, especially almonds. They are rich in tryptophan.

• Take lunch-time walks in sunlight to increase serotonin production.

• Supplement tryptophan with magnesium and vitamin B6.

• Supplement omega-3 DHA and EPA (in OptiMega and OptiVite), calcium and magnesium (OptiCalMag) as well as a multivitamin (OptiVite) and a pro-biotic (OptiFlora).

Craving salt is associated with a lack of Essential Fatty Acids, ie. Omega-3+6. Include: • Supplement 3000mg fish oil (in OptiMega and OptiVite). Take 1000mg morning, noon and night for one month. Decrease to morning and night and later to night only.

• Balance your diet by including flaxseed oil, olive oil, nuts, seeds and avocado as well as sardines in your diet. These will ensure enough omega-6. Remember to also cut down on salt intake.

• Take your last OptiMega omega-3 capsule at night with your OptiCalMag calcium/magnesium capsule.

3 Salt

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 37

This is all sorts of peculiar cravings during pregnancy and is usually associated with a lack of minerals e.g. calcium and magnesium, chromium and zinc. A balanced diet, as well as OptiVite, OptiCalMag and OptiMega, is very important.

5 Pica

6

Cheese and/ or other dairy This is due to a lack of calcium and magnesium and these are even more depleted by dairy products.

• Supplement 600mg calcium and 400mg magnesium (in OptiCalMag) with omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite) at night.

TIPS FOR

Better Health 1. DRY/NO EAR WAX

7.

• Lack of omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite)

2. BLOATING/FLATULANCE • Lack of pro-biotics/digestive enzymes (in OptiFlora)

3.

4.

DRY FLAKY SKIN • Omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite), Q10 (OptiEnergy) and water.

CLOTTING TENDENCY • Folic acid (sub-lingual), Vit B12, Omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite), Vit E (OptiDerm).

5. ANOREXIA AND/OR ACNE • 20mg Zinc (1 x OptiSolve or 2 x OptiDerm) at night for a month in addition to OptiVite.

Then 10mg OptiVite daily.

6. CONSTIPATION The reason for this is a lack of normal digestive tract bacteria. The chicory fibre in the Shake acts as a pre-biotic.

• 2 OptiFlora on an empty stomach in the morning with 650ml warm water.

FLUFFY TEETH/PLAQUE/BAD BREATH • This is caused by a poor digestion. To correct, take OptiFlora pro-biotics, digestive enzymes and B-vitamins (in OptiVite and OptiCalm). Remember, deposits on the teeth are also associated with deposits in the arteries. Control the visible symptom and you control the hidden one as well.

8.

SYMPTOMS DUE TO LACK OF CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM The combination of omega-3 (in OptiMega and OptiVite) with calcium, and magnesium (in OptiCalMag) is natures’ sleeping tablet.

The best time to take is on an empty stomach before bedtime.

• Abnormal sweating of the scalp • Craving for cheese • Splitting/peeling of nails • Difficulty in falling asleep • Thinning of hair.

• Cramping of toes and calves • Menstrual cramping (NB for teenagers) • Heart palpitations • Anxiety attacks

Breast Cancer

JUST SO YOU KNOW

I was diagnosed some time ago with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy of my left breast. My treatment entailed 15 months of chemotherapy. I was shocked. How would my body cope with so much toxicity?

A friend and colleague of mine who sold Annique products showed me Dalene Richter’s article – he decided this was the answer for me.

warm. I did not replace my meals with the Lifestyle Shake, but I used it as a supplement. My body was in need of the nutrients. It is awful to feel hungry and sick – the shake satisfied my hunger and boosted my health.

I purchased the following Annique products:

1. OptiEnergy Capsules:

I had a chemo treatment every three weeks.

During chemo, one’s white blood cell count is very important. It has to be more than 4 for one to be allowed to have a next chemo session. White blood cells protect against infection and determine your immunity against disease.

At the time of my second chemo treatment my white blood cell count reached a count of just above 4. I bought OptiEnergy Capsules. I put them to the test: my blood count was very low but as soon as I began drinking OptiEnergy my count reached the required target; throughout my chemo treatment I was always in a position to receive a next session.

4. OptiClear Capsules:

A wonderful product! Only someone who has experienced chemo will know how ill one feels. It is a sick, horrible feeling that no one can describe in words. One is tired, lifeless and emotionally drained. But I found that approximately 15 minutes after taking a sachet of BioHarmony I began to feel an improvement. I had the energy to get up and do something. At those times I could cook for my family and do the laundry. And I could dry my tears, because I felt so much better. Of course not only due to BioHarmony – also because of His Grace!

3. Lifestyle Shake:

This product got me through those dreadful times when I could not eat due to mouth sores and nausea. I don’t usually like milkshakes, but I could mix the shake in fruit juice or yoghurt and in the cold months I could make it with Café Latte, wonderfully

Do you know what it is like to have a metal taste in your mouth? This is one of the side effects of chemo – due to the treatment which affects one’s liver and kidneys. But I took OptiClear and ActiCleanse capsules which brought a measure of relief from this awful taste.

5. Annique Rooibos Tea:

2. BioHarmony:

Annique Products

I was unable to drink water because of the metal taste in my mouth. So I made lots of Annique Rooibos Tea Bladder & Kidney Tea, and mixed it with iced tea. I suffered from diarrhoea after every chemo session and this helped me not to dehydrate.

6. Miracle Tissue Oil:

Chemo dehydrates the skin severely. I looked like a snake – especially my legs and feet. But I used bottles and bottles of Annique Miracle Tissue Oil to help nourish my skin.

To sum up: I wholeheartedly recommend Annique products during chemotherapy. I thank Him that I could afford the products. I was one of several women who were treated in the same room at the same time, and I can say without hesitation that Annique helped me to weather the treatments better than most. • Johanna Malan

FOREVER HEALTHY

Winter’s Bodyguard Step 1: OptiFlora Winter makes many of us reach for Vitamin C to prevent and assist our bodies from nasty colds and flu, but there is more you can do to prevent illness during the cold winter months. You might have considered a multivitamin supplement but wondered what all the minerals and vitamins actually do.

Each plays an important role in strengthening the immune system, boosting energy levels, improving your complexion and restoring vitality. Annique’s Forever Healthy range of supplements provide an easy five step plan that will support your body in the colder season, allowing you to enjoy warm apparel, winter sports and hot drinks at the fireplace.

OptiFlora provides the necessary counterbalance to the growth of unwanted yeast and bacteria in the body and produces molecules critical to our molecular defence system – thus, boosting the immune system. These beneficial probiotic flora colonise or multiply in the digestive tract, further increasing their effectiveness, even helping to produce vitamins in the body.

Step 2: OptiVite

Supplementing with a multivitamin is crucial for sustained optimum health, energy and consistent mood. It is nearly impossible to get the necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need daily from our diet. Supplementation is easy, convenient and allows us to fill the nutritional gaps created by our modern lifestyles and diets. OptiVite contains 12 essential vitamins and 9 minerals with added salmon oil for its omega 3 benefits and Rooibos extract - the perfect daily vitamin combination to enhance your health.

Step 3: OptiC

Vitamin C is one of the safest, most effective and well known vitamins. The human body cannot produce this crucial vitamin, so if you don’t supplement it, your health is at risk. Vitamin C has amazing health properties, from supporting the cardiovascular and immune systems and producing collagen that is critical to new tissue formulation, to lowering the risk of cancer and building collagen and tissue for a more beautiful skin, yet most of us don’t get anywhere near these benefits because we don’t get enough Vitamin C.

Step 4: OptiBoost

OptiBoost provides a complex formula of nutrients to help boost the immune system.

The body’s ability to deal with invaders quickly and effectively will help you overcome illness, infection and disease. Vitamins A and C are combined with zinc, bioflavanoids and natural herbal extracts of African potato, Sutherlandia and Olive leaf extract for a more natural solution than medication to pack the punch. Timing is crucial when dealing with infections. The quicker you react, the better you can recover! Listen to your body; after all you have known it all your life!

Step 5: OptiToniQ+

Most people don’t know that many foods are acid forming.

The body has a naturally alkaline environment, but when too much acid forming food is consumed, it can interfere with the body’s pH balance, making it susceptible to illness and disease.

Win the Cold War Seven strategies to fight an infection

Supplementation aids in prevention of illness in the first place, but when infection does set in, try the following:

1 Up your OptiFlora intake from one to two

capsules per day 2 Take two to three OptiBoost capsules per day 3 Take one OptiC capsule every two hours when infection is first detected (sore throat, swollen glands, sneezing) 4 Take 16 drops of OptiToniQ+ per day 5 If your throat is sore, gargle with OptiToniQ+ two to three times a day 6 Get lots of rest 7 Avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates completely ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 40

Unique selling points of Annique foundations

At Annique, we believe foundation should be part of your every day skin care routine.

Many women underestimate the importance of applying the correct foundation during their make-up routine. The right foundation does more than simply even out skin tone and conceal blemishes, it helps skin appear stronger, healthier and protects it from harmful elements.

When it comes to choosing a foundation, you won’t go wrong if you choose Annique. Not only does Annique foundation cover flaws and even out skin tone, it provides environmental protection and creates a barrier between yourself and pollutants faced in day-to-day life. As temperatures rise and pollution increases, the threat to our skin becomes greater, causing free radical damage and premature ageing. This is exacerbated by humidity, which also increases during spring and summer months.

Those who wear make-up are more likely to be protected from these harmful elements because their bare skin is not exposed to the environment. The pigments in foundation create a physical barrier shielding you from harmful UV rays.

When it comes to choosing a foundation, it is important to pick a colour closest to your natural skin tone as possible. Never try to darken your complexion with a foundation as it will look very obvious to others.

Do consider choosing two shades of foundation: One for summer when skin is naturally darker and one for winter when skin is lighter. During the in-between months, the two foundations can be mixed together. Annique foundations all contain the very unique Green Rooibos Extract with antioxidants which protect the skin.

perfect canvas make-up

Creating the for your

When it comes to applying make-up, it is extremely important to start with the perfect canvas of Moisture Cover concealer and foundation so you achieve the best result in your final make-up. Here are a few guidelines on how to apply these two important products essential in your daily make-up routine.

One can’t overemphasise the importance of ensuring you start with the right colour foundation suitable to your skin’s needs At Annique, we believe foundation is part of our skin care routine. When applying your make-up, it is vital you give yourself enough time to apply your foundation. If you rush your foundation application, it will be applied incorrectly and none of your other make-up will look any good.

Applying concealer perfectly Concealer is designed to provide extra cover to specific areas of the face and diminish dark circles under the eye area, hiding blemishes, broken capillaries and discolouration on the face. Use a small amount of concealer (a little goes a long way) and apply a tiny dab precisely onto the blemish, using either a concealer brush or your ring finger as this finger applies the ideal amount of pressure. Blend the concealer by tapping and spreading it with your finger or brush. While concealing under-eye circles, use a light touch because the skin in this area is delicate and prone to stretching and wrinkling. For better coverage, reapply throughout the day.

Applying fabulous foundation Getting the best appearance with your Moisture Cover Foundation is used to create an even concealer and foundation all-over facial tone all over, covering imperfections and giving the illusion of a smoother skin texture. It also ensures your make-up stays on longer. For an even better healthy complexion, make sure you always apply your favourite Annique moisturiser beforehand. Foundation application is one of the most important steps to flawless make-up application. It is important not to use too much or too little and choose the correct colour. Use just enough to create a uniform appearance by applying a thin layer to the skin. To choose the best colour for your skin tone, swipe and blend in a small amount of foundation on your jawline. When the foundation disappears into the skin, it’s the correct one for you. It must almost be impossible to see any lines of application of the foundation.

For a more natural appearance, make sure foundation is well blended. Latex sponges and foundation brushes are fabulous tools for blending foundations. It’s best to blend the colour just underneath the chin and jawline and into the hairline to avoid makeup lines.

Most professional artists prefer to first apply foundation with their hands by dabbing a little bit on your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Spread it evenly with your ring finger.

Use a latex sponge or brush when applying foundation to achieve a smoother application and also a better coverage. Do not smear the foundation onto your face. Gently press the foundation on to create that smooth, even look. Dabbing the sponge on specific areas to ensure more coverage where needed. You can also reapply a small amount of foundation on areas needing more coverage.

We do not believe in applying any loose powder to your skin, due to the drying and ageing effects it will have on your skin.

Moisture Cover

is a must-have SPF 15 tinted moisturiser The moisture cover acts as a protective barrier against pollution and is a three-in-one skin care wonder, providing light moisturising sheer coverage with added broad spectrum sun protection. It is the perfect light-weight sun protector for every day wear and creates an ideal base for foundation and makeup making it last longer.

Annique Moisture Cover protects the skin in four ways:

Application: • For light, natural cover: Apply the moisture cover after your Annique skin care routine (including your moisturiser).

• For medium cover: Apply moisture cover after your Annique skin care routine (including your moisturiser) and leave to settle for a few minutes.

Then apply your foundation and the rest of your make-up.

• For optimal cover: Apply moisture cover after your Annique skin care routine (including your moisturiser) and leave to settle for a few minutes.

Then apply your foundation and make-up. Re-apply the moisture cover and foundation as often as needed during the day.

1

Light to medium pigment gives protection from sun damage by creating a physical barrier between the skin and sun.

2

The sun protection factor of 15 protects the skin from sun damage.

3

Hyaluronic acid protects the skin from dehydration of air conditioners, pollution and dry and windy conditions.

4

Rooibos Extract protects against allergies and premature ageing.

Repeat application regularly if you are spending time in the sun.

By applying this before your foundation you will definitely have better coverage, a more even colour and much longer lasting foundation. Acts as a protective barrier against pollution for your skin.

AFTER

Concealer

with anti-ageing peptide complex Annique’s liquid concealer is a fragrance free, creamy, transfer resistant, high coverage liquid concealer enriched with a peptide complex to help conceal fine lines and imperfections.

Light

Medium

It contains a peptide complex, with anti-ageing benefits and line-reduction action. Silicones improve spreadability and coverage and ensure a soft touch finish. The Green Rooibos extract contains antioxidants to protect the skin against environmental damage.

Concealers are make-up bag must haves! It not only conceals blemishes, dark circles and veins, but it can also create a wonderful base for your eyeshadow and therefore acts like a primer so you will have longer lasting colour.

Concealer hides the discolouration around the eye area to make eyes look more awake and younger. Make-up artists always apply concealer, as it is the key to achieving a professional finish.

STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN APPLYING CONCEALER 1. Moisturising your skin prior to applying your concealer is essential for the radiant, flawless look we want to accomplish, and therefore a very important part of applying your make-up.

2. Hydrate the skin by rinsing it with Rooibos tea in the morning, followed by your Annique skin care products, and your Annique moisturiser.

3. You can also apply the Moisture Cover, which will provide extra coverage.

4. Choose a concealer as close as possible to your natural skin colour. Test the concealer in natural sunlight, on your jaw line, or the area where you would want to apply it. Don’t use a colour that is more than one shade lighter than your foundation or you will end up with ‘panda’ eyes.

5. Apply your Annique foundation.

6. Dot small drops of concealer on the inside on the inner-top lid and below the eye, where shadows and dark circles occur.

7. Gently press it on to create an even appearance.

FRAGRANCE

F R E E Eliminating dark circles Do not ever set your concealer with loose powder, as this will only accentuate lines around the eye area and cause severe dryness. Annique does not believe in applying loose powder, because it only encourages the ageing process. Use a synthetic concealer brush, like in the Annique Colour Caress Brush Set, to apply the concealer and then press into the skin with the fingertips.

Freckles and pigmentation Freckles should not be covered, as they are not blemishes and if the skin is clear, they look very attractive. A heavy layer of concealer or foundation can look far worse.

For covering pigmented areas, select a colour that is one shade lighter than your foundation colour. Ensure skin is well-moisturised and apply a concealer to the areas that require coverage. Use Derma Bright to target pigmentation and brown spots.

Tackling pimples Ensure spots have healed and are dry before applying any make-up. Use a pointed brush so you can target your application of concealer to the spot. Then lightly press around the edges with fingers. Don’t use a colour that is lighter than your skin tone or it will emphasise the pimple.

GENTLE MOISTURISING MAKE-UP REMOVER This light, moisturising two-phase formulation that gently removes makeup and impurities, contains natural extract from Rooibos to soothe the skin as it cleanses, as well as Bulgarian Rosewater, makes for a superior cleanser known for its mildness, soothing and refreshing properties.

Due to the addition of Rooibos extract, the make-up remover is rich in antioxidants, renowned for its anti-ageing benefits. The make-up remover will leave your skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed. It contains non-oily emollients for use around the eyes which, with the Rooibos extract, are especially mild on the eyes and skin. This make-up remover is suitable for the removal of all makeup, even waterproof mascara, and has moisturising and skin rejuvenation benefits. Since this is a two-phase product, it makes it even more effective.

Bulgarian Rose Water

Shake gently before use to activate the two-phase formulation. A slight foam may appear. Add a few drops to damp cotton wool or a facial wipe and gently remove make-up. Do not stretch or pull skin. Cleanse skin as normal and apply other Annique skin care products.

Bulgarian Rose Water boasts gentle cleansing and toning properties for all skin types. Rose water is also known to have hydrating and antiinflammatory properties, as well as being anti-viral, antiseptic, and a disinfectant. Rose water maintains the pH balance of your skin, stimulates regeneration processes and it has a calming effect on acne and sunburn.

Make-up removal is an essential part of your skin care routine, if you want to have healthy and beautiful skin. Make-up tends to clog pores and, if you forego your regular make-up removal ritual, it can lead to skin problems.

When using a make-up remover, use it as follows:

LIPS: Start from the lip corners to the middle,

gently removing lipstick, without stretching the lip.

EYES: Apply a few drops of make-up remover

on a damp cotton ball and then lightly press one of the cotton balls to your lid and lashes. Keep it there for a minute, so it can work its way through the layers of make-up. Gently wipe the cotton ball, from the bridge of your nose, towards the outer corners, gently swipe your eye in a downward direction to ensure all the make-up is off. Open your eye and clean any residual make-up under your lashes.

Clean residual make-up under your lashes, but be careful not to stretch the skin. Remember that eye skin is very sensitive that is why it requires a gentle make-up remover, like the Colour Caress Gentle Moisturising Make-up Remover, for a delicate skin.

Tip: Do not use the same cotton ball for both eyes - if you have an infection in one eye it will quickly pass onto the other. Also, cotton rounds work much better than cotton balls because of their circular shape. You can remove the make-up from the entire area with one flat section.

FACE:

When your lip and eye make-up is removed, you can cleanse your face, from your nose towards the temples, with an Annique cleanser of your choice. Rinse with Rooibos water. Thereafter, follow your normal Annique skin care routine and do not forget to apply Eye Therapy to firm the skin around your eyes.

REMEMBER: A make-up remover is not a cleanser. After removing your make-up you still need to cleanse your skin with an Annique cleanser of choice.

GENTLE MOISTURISING MAKE-UP REMOVER How to use the

Colour Caress Gentle Makeup remover on your eyes

Step 1:

Shake the Colour Caress Gentle Make up Remover to activate the water and oil two-phase formula.

Step 2:

Always use a damp cotton ball / pad to remove your make-up from your eyes. Dab the Colour Caress Gentle Make-up Remover onto the cotton ball / pad after shaking and gently apply it to your closed eyes, moving from the inner corners of the eye to the outer corners of the eye.

Step 3:

Should there still be eye liner left on your eyes, you can use a Q-tip / Cotton Bud dipped in Colour Caress Gentle Make-up Remover to gently remove it. Once you are done, rinse your eye area with Rooibos tea or water to get rid of any remaining eye make-up remover.

Tips:  To remove waterproof mascara keep the moist cotton pad on your lashes for a few seconds longer, as this type of mascara requires more contact with the makeup remover before effective removal occurs.  Should the Colour Caress Gentle Make-up Remover get in your eyes, rinse your eyes thoroughly with Rooibos tea or warm water.  To avoid irritation don’t soak the cotton pad in makeup remover, as the excess product will run into your eyes with the make-up and burn.

Lashes to the Xtreme Applying LashXtreme mascara tips: • Ensure that the mascara covers your lashes from root to tip.

NAKED EYE

Mascara is an essential feature in your make-up bag. A swish of the mascara wand can do wonders for you – it can open up your eyes and make them appear bright and beautiful. Use mascara to thicken and darken as well as lengthen your lashes.

• Wipe off excess mascara from the wand with a tissue before application. This prevents blobs of mascara on your lashes.

• Hold the mascara wand vertically when applying to the lower lashes.

• Apply mascara after eye shadow and eyeliner.

• Use a cotton bud and wet it with luke warm water to wipe over your lashes to remove clumps and re-apply.

1 APPLICATION

• You can choose to apply mascara only on your upper lashes.

• To make lashes look longer and avoid clumps, apply mascara from the roots of the lashes to the tips, using a zig-zag movement.

• For a sophisticated finish, use mascara on the lower lashes as well, placing a piece of tissue underneath them to avoid smudging.

2 APPLICATIONS

• Avoid blinking for a couple of seconds after applying your mascara, to dry your lashes.

Under Brow Crease / Socket Lid Outer Edge Inner Edge

IDENTIFY YOUR EYE SHAPE:

Look in the mirror and consider the size of each area of your eye, as well as positioning of the eyes in relation to each other.

Corner of Nose

CHARACTERISTICS

MAKE UP TIP

DEEP SET EYES

Eyes are set deep into the socket with a small eyelid. The brow bone appears more noticeable

Apply light colour onto the mobile eyelid. Then add a darker colour on and just above the socket line. Blend up and out.

CLOSE-SET EYES

Your eyes are less than one eye-width apart

Use light colours on the inner corners and extend the outer corners using darker colours. Use liner and mascara on outer corners

WIDE SET EYES

Your eyes are more than one eye-width apart

Apply lighter base colour from lashline to brow. Apply darker shade along lashline and into crease also add accent to inner corner. Line upper lashes from corner to corner. Apply mascara.

HOODED EYES

The natural crease in your eyelid is not noticeable

Apply lighter base colour from lashline to brow adding a little more at inside corner. Apply darker shade onto lid from corner to corner extending slightly above the crease and under lower lashes. Hooded eyes really benefit from well-defined upper and lower lashlines.

Line upper lashes from corner to corner and lower lashes from outside corner to inside of iris. Apply mascara.

The Colour Caress Satin Finish Crème Blusher is available in two delicate shades, to add a kiss of blush to your cheeks. This sensational formula glides on like a cream and transforms to a natural finish. It includes soothing green Rooibos extract.

CHEEKS

Product

What is it?

Key Ingredients

Satin Finish Crème Blusher

A light mousse formula, creme blusher to add radiance to your cheeks in a luxurious, sheer, satiny smooth formulation.

Flexible silicone polymers which help prevent caking, and assist with blending.

Applied with your fingertips this very soft, silky formulation glides on effortlessly.

DO’S AND DON’TS: BLUSHER APPLICATION DO

Choose a blusher colour that will co-ordinate with your total make-up look – especially your lipstick shade.

DON’T Use a frosted blusher shade as it tends to be rather ageing.

Green Rooibos extract offers anti-irritant properties.

BENEFITS OF CRÈME BLUSHER • Anti-ageing • Non-drying • Suitable for sensitive skin

DO

Consider your face shape when applying blusher.

DON’T Apply blush to forehead, nose or chin – it makes the skin look flushed and unnatural.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 14

DO

Apply blush last, after all other makeup.

HOW TO APPLY CRÈME BLUSHER PERFECTLY? 1. Dab a few dots of blusher on the ‘apples’, or fullest part of your cheeks, directly below the centre of your eyes.

2. Blend in well with your fingertips in upward/outward motion.

3. Your face shape influences your blusher application.

FACE SHAPE

Oval Face

Square Face

Round Face

Long Face

APPLICATION TIPS This face type typically does not need any contouring at all since the natural slope of the face already provides a perfect plane to apply blusher. For a natural look, apply blush onto the apples of your cheeks for a flushed, healthy glow. If you are going out for a night on the town, add slightly more blush to the bridge of your nose for extra color.

Soften the angles of cheeks by concentrating the brighter color of the blusher on the apples of the cheeks, then sweep the color straight out towards your temples. This will give your face a natural lift. If you want to round the corners of your jawline, lightly dust some blush from your chin to just below your ears.

Start applying blush to the area just above the apples of your cheeks and slightly blend forward to thin the face. Make sure not to get blusher too close to your nose; otherwise, the extra color will highlight the rounded area of the cheeks. Next, dust the contour shade just below the cheekbone down to the jawline and blend the color so it looks natural.

To create the illusion of width on a long-shaped face, apply blusher to the apples of the cheeks and extend the color outward towards your ears. Next, sweep your blush across the middle of your forehead and along your chin line.

DON’T

Tips: • If your lipshape is asymmetrical, subtly correct the outline, just outside your normal lipline and blend in well before applying lipstick.

• The easiest way to balance the appearance of your lips, is by dividing the lip into sections when applying liner.

• If your lip liner is not exactly the same colour as your lipstick, use a lip brush or cotton bud to smudge the liner inwards towards the centre of the lip to ensure better blending.

ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL | 16

Prevent bleeding and feathering lipstick by using your finger to dot a bit of liquid foundation sparingly over your lip and blend in well prior to liner and lipstick application.

Use too much gloss as your lipstick will bleed into fine lines and not last very long

• If you have thin lips and want to create larger lips, draw the line just outside the natural lip line.

• If your lips are too full, draw the line just inside the natural lip line to slim them down a touch.

• Shimmery, frosty shades make lips look full and lush.

• Darker shades make lips look thinner and lighter shades make lips look bigger.

• Apply lip gloss to the centre of your lips to enhance attractive full lips.

• Use Liquid Lips to add shine to Moisturising Lipstick with Chronomoist+.

JUST SO YOU KNOW

What you say about Annique Lifestyle slimming programme creates a brand new Noelien I began following the Annique Lifestyle Slimming Programme to lose weight in June 2012 and lost 16.6 kgs after just five months. I used to weigh 96.6 kg and went down to 80.5 kgs (and lost 127cm) between June and November 2012. I went from a size 40 pants to a size 36. I tried thousands of rands of competitor products including pills, diets, shakes and nothing worked. I cannot believe the centimetres I lost around my waist, upper arms and other areas of my body. If it wasn’t for Annique, I would not have been able to achieve this. I love the new me After and I am planning to lose 80.5kg another 10kgs!

Itchy scalp disappears with Annique Baby Shampoo

I suffered with eczema until the age of 36. I used to dread summertime – sun and sweat.

After testing everything on the market, I discovered an instant relief for this condition – Annique Skin Detox. Out of desperation one day I grabbed Skin Detox from the cupboard at home. (One I saved as a bonus for one of my consultants - thanks Georgina, I owe you!). After applying it for three days, I was stunned as the itchiness and redness was instantly gone. I am convinced of the healing properties of Annique!

• Petro Morkel, Pretoria

My five year old daughter struggled terribly with an itchy, dry, irritated scalp after a lice crisis at school in January 2012 and especially during season changes.

I began to realise that using the ordinary chemical shampoos just irritated and damaged her scalp further. I decided to try Annique Baby Shampoo on her hair because I had used it on her hair when she was a baby. After the third wash all itching and scratching stopped, the scalp was not irritated anymore and she was a carefree child once again!

• Dorette Pienaar, Malmesbury

Annique products moisturise dry skin and balance blood pressure I had a very dry skin and used Ultimate Moisturiser for Dry Skin, Crème de Nuit and the Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil.

Annique products may prevent cancer

ZeroAche+ assists with back injury

I am an Annique consultant and I read the article on skin cancer in one of the latest newsletters.

I am convinced that Annique products can prevent skin cancer. Three weeks ago a doctor removed 10 skin cancer spots on my arms, legs and chest. He expressed his surprise, remarking that in actual fact this kind of skin cancer usually appears on facial skin, and there was no sign of it on my face. Perhaps this is because I have been using Annique on my face and neck area for 30 years.

• Hester Alberts, Pretoria

I used Resque ZeroAche+ and it is excellent! I have a bulging disk – S1, L5 and with that injury the surrounding muscles go into a spasm and pinch the nerves.

Over and above the medication that I have been using, I use this product on the affected area and I can honestly tell you it is fantastic! Actually I need to order more as I have run out - I recommend ZeroAche+ highly!

What you say about Bladder & Kidney Tea stops bladder infection and sinusitis In February 2012, my elder sister who had suffered from bladder infection for several years, decided to try Bladder & Kidney Tea to see if it would help with her infection.

When winter arrived, she expected to experience her usual symptoms of sinusitis, but nothing happened.

Thanks to this product she is now not only free from the chronic bladder infection, but also from sinusitis!

Moisturising Foundation perfect I grew up with Annique products as my grandmother was also a consultant, so it is not easy for me to single out one product I love best.

I would however, like to focus on the Feels Like Silk Moisturising Foundation. All other competitor foundations I used before looked as if they ‘melted’ on my skin and some looked as if there was no foundation on my face by the end of the day. Feels Like Silk Foundation stays on all day and appears fresh, looking good from morning until night. Every Annique product is perfect!

Amazing results with Moisture Serum I have been using Essense Moisture Serum for five days only and the results are amazing for my extremely dry skin! I began using the product in September 2012 after trying competitor products which didn’t work. I love the way it soaks into my skin and can see and feel a big difference! I have never seen a faster improvement on the appearance of my skin than I did using this product. Moisture Serum has made my skin so much better and I will never leave it out of my beauty routine again.

Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy helps heal cold sores Recently I had a large cold sore on the outer corner of my mouth and decided to use Essense Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy to see if could help heal my cold sore. After I began using it, the cold sore didn’t make a hard scab which would burst each time I opened my mouth, which had happened in the past. While using Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy the cold sore stayed moist and the skin wasn’t sore. The sore soon disappeared quickly, with no discomfort at all!

Annique teenage skin care range takes away acne

My teenage son struggled with acne so I took him to a dermatologist and after three months of using antibiotics and skin treatments recommended by the dermatologist, which burnt his skin, there was still no improvement. The dermatologist wanted to put him on stronger medication but I was hesitant. I bought the teenage range of Annique skin care including the Face Facts Smooth Over Scrub and Spotless Pimple Treatment for him, which he began using and has never looked back! He also uses the DermaLift machine once a week to improve his skin. Thank you Annique, it is wonderful to use a product that works and which I can believe in!

What you Jacqueline loses 56 kilograms drinking Lifestyle Shakes and teas

Before

Jacqueline Biddulph, a 31 year old friend of mine, began using Annique products during June 2010 and lost 56 kilograms! Losing weight was always a problem for her because she has an under-active thyroid and no competitor products worked for her.

She drank the Annique Rooibos Lifestyle Shakes for breakfast and lunch and the Metabolism, Detox and Colon Cleanse Teas throughout the day each day.

Now that Jacqueline has lost so much weight she is really motivated and encourages her friends to drink the Lifestyle Shakes. Jacqueline also recently found out she is pregnant and now uses the Lifestyle Shakes as a vitamin booster.

Herman’s Ambition increases sales In May 2012, the Ambition Eau de Toilette for men was on special and I ordered one for my husband, Herman, as a Father’s Day gift. I was too excited to wait until June to give it to him and gave it to him immediately. He was crazy about Ambition and took it to work to market it for Father’s Day. The orders came rushing in and Herman ended up selling 70 Ambition Eau de Toilettes giving us a turnover of R14 000 for May! Thank you Annique for such wonderful special offers!

Gentle Make-up Remover is super soft The Gentle Make-up Remover is a super soft make-up remover which cleans thoroughly without irritating the eyes or the skin. It never burns my eyes, which is truly miraculous on account of blue eyes being very sensitive.

It is easy to use and because you don’t have to drench the cotton wool in the product, it is also cost-effective.

Resque Mist stops coughs and Resque Crème relieves burns Whenever I start coughing, my children immediately give me Resque Mist which I spray three times onto a tissue and breathe in deeply. Within seconds my cough disappears.

My mother, Ansie, stopped using her asthma pump and only uses Resque Mist because she found that it worked quicker and better than her asthma pump. she sprays it on her pillow before she goes to bed at night or uses a handkerchief to wipe it on her neck at night. It instantly stops sneezing fits. Resque Mist also works on wet red wine stains which disappear in seconds after it is applied - amazing! Another wonderful product is Resque Crème. My friends’ daughter stepped barefoot onto burning embers and applied Resque Crème that evening. The following day her daughter had no blisters and was running around with only white marks on her feet!

Skin Detox solves skin problems I have been using Skin Detox for eight years.

Last year I made a mistake with my order which meant that I had no Skin Detox for just over a month. I used my last Skin Detox just before my menstruation began. My skin broke out in pimples. My skin did not improve. But as soon as I began using Skin Detox again, within two days, my skin began improving and after one week all the pimples were gone.

Chapped hands disappear with Revitalising Cream and Injoi Body Lotion I have to share this - Every winter my hands are chapped and bleed and no hand cream has ever helped. But this winter all that changed. Out of sheer desperation I mixed equal parts of Revitalising Cream and Injoi Body Lotion to use on my hands. Every evening I massaged this mixture into my hands bit by bit until my skin was saturated and no more cream would absorb into my skin. My hands are now soft and smooth.

say about No more red, dry skin with Moisture Serum and Bo-Serum I have dry, sensitive cheeks that turn red in the sun when I drink wine and in the dry winter climate of the Free State. I tried Moisture Serum and was amazed at the wonderful results! It was absorbed into the skin quickly leaving a soft, moist feeling. The dry feeling on my cheeks was gone! I also tested Bo-Serum and could see the difference. I asked a friend to test it for a month and take a before and after photo for clients to see. The difference in the lines around her mouth and neck are amazing! Annemarie Cronje, Bloemfontein

Resque Crème cures severe baby acne One of my clients had a baby less than a year old. He had severe eczema and she visited her doctor on a weekly basis. I gathered my courage and asked her what she was using for the condition. She replied that she was at her wits end because the doctor kept on prescribing cortisone, which didn’t help. I immediately advised her to try Resque Crème. It helped instantly and she is still my client to this day.

Hair Nutrition+ and Baby Shampoo heals Cradle Cap Toekie Muir, one of my 78 year old clients, had Cradle Cap! I recommended Baby Shampoo and Hair Nutrition+ and advised he rinse his scalp with Rooibos Tea. He was sceptical as he had consulted with numerous doctors and chemists for 50 years and still had the unsightly itchy problem. Full of confidence in Annique, I assured him his problem would be cleared in 10 days. In 10 days he was back with peaches and chocolates for me and a huge smile on his face! After struggling for 50 years his scalp is healed!

Relax Tea relieves pain and Resque Mist soothes shingles One of my clients suffered from a constant pain on the right side of her body for a long time. I told her it could be her colon and may be stress related and she confirmed she experienced stress. I gave her two cups of Relax Tea to drink (made with one teabag). After half an hour the pain was gone. Another product which worked was Resque Mist. I suffered a shingles attack and sprayed Resque Mist on the skin three times a day. The relief was instant and itchiness disappeared immediately. A rash was left which I healed with Resque Crème.

Moisture Serum, Revitalising Cream and Bo-Serum keeps me young I use Moisture Serum on only one hand. The skin of this hand is shiny and moist while the skin on the poor other hand is dry and dull. It is great for advertising – whenever I want someone to experience the difference that Annique makes, I show them my hands. I also recently began applying Revitalising Cream and Bo-Serum to my husband’s face. He loves it and already looks years younger! I of course, don’t look a day older then the day I began using Annique products.

Erina du Preez, Secunda

Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil most appreciated My ultimate favourite Annique product has to be Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil because it’s versatility is unsurpassed! This product has no age-limit and is a vital in any skincare routine enhancing the beauty of ladies using the Colour Caress range.

It raises the moisture content of the skin and contains Rooibos extract full of antioxidants. It has a remarkable effect on scarring, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, stretch marks and acne scars. I believe it is the most appreciated product in Annique’s extensive range.

products reduce scars and ease Paul’s injured legs

JUST SO YOU KNOW

Paul Louw, who was in a motor accident 13 years ago injuring his legs, has tried numerous medical treatments to reduce the scars without success. After two weeks of using Annique products he is now seeing results.

BEFORE

A phenomenal improvement was seen in the scars on Paul’s legs after just a few weeks of using Annique products

AFTER

Thirteen years ago I was injured in a motor accident where the lower part of my left leg was seriously broken and my right leg and muscles were damaged. I had an external fixator placed on my left leg which doctors found not to be working, meaning the blood flowed to my lower leg but not back up again.

I developed venus ulcers and blood clots in both legs and was treated by various doctors and specialists at various hospitals. The blockages in the veins were removed and I had three skin grafts done, but none of the treatments helped. All ended unsuccessfully due to the oozing of the wounds that caused the skin not to be able to attach properly on the wounds.

In November 2012, Marie du Plessis and Chris Pohl came to talk to me about my legs and show me what Annique products can do for my problem. I was very sceptical because nothing medical could help my legs. They had so much trust in these products that they said they will sponsor me for a month with products to see if there would be an improvement.

The products they gave me included Relax Tea, Detox Tea, Night Rest Tea, BodyXpert Correxion Repairing Body Cream, OptiC and Resque Crème. After two weeks of using the products, I could recommend them to anyone as I can feel a difference in my legs.

The wound on the left leg stayed the same length but shrunk in width and the wound on the inside of the right leg was really deep, but there was an improvement as the flesh grew back. The depth of this wound is now gone and is almost healed. It appears as if the skin is growing on the inner leg. I can’t see the wound on the right side of the right leg properly, but I believe there is an improvement.

The healing over the last few weeks has been absolutely unbelievable and at this rate I believe I will be able to walk around in shorts in the next six months. Previously I was taking 10 to 15 Grandpa powders per day for the pain and discomfort, but now I only drink one to two per day at most when necessary.

In November 2012 I also cut my right index finger and thumb with a chain saw. I put Resque Crème on both fingers and three days later my finger was healed, 10 days later my thumb was healed. I am sincerely grateful to Marie and Chris and can with the greatest ease recommend Annique products. It’s now five months since I started treatment and Paul Louw, Pretoria the improvement is remarkable.

Marie du Plessis presents Paul Louw with a hamper of Annique Products to assist his healing.

Teas and capsules assist Pinkie’s Diabetic mom

I joined Annique because I wanted to buy my mom who is diabetic, Annique products. After my mom drank Balance Tea, Green Rooibos Tea and took Super Rooibos6 Capsules, she stopped taking her chronic treatment that she used to receive from the government clinic because her sugar level was normal. It didn’t stop there, the nurse who helped check my mom’s sugar level also joined Annique and she is doing very well with her business so far. PINKY FIGLAN

Results with skin care products in just two weeks

I started using Annique because I had similar issues with my skin as a friend of mine, who suffered from pigmentation and breakouts.

After a month of using Annique products, her skin was clearer and more beautiful. Just two weeks after using the products including Derma Bright, Rooibos Miracle Tissue Oil, Crystal Clear Cleanser, Absolute Balancing Freshener and the Smooth Over Scrub, I started receiving compliments that I was glowing. I am very happy with the results of Annique and feel as if I need to spread the word to my people, the black African people and telling them about Annique products.

NOXOLO QUMANA

JUST SO YOU KNOW

A few months ago I was diagnosed with rosacea on my nose. It was extremely irritating and unattractive, and so of course I was downhearted. The dermatologist prescribed two ointments, which helped to a degree, but the irritation as well as a rough texture on my nose persisted.

On a recent visit to my home, my cousin arrived with swollen lips and he could not talk properly. The reason for the swelling was that he had had a flu injection the previous day which he had reacted to.

I sprayed his lips with Resque Mist and as soon as it was dry, I applied Resque Crème. By the time he left two hours later, the swelling was totally gone and he could speak properly - with a big smile!

Punkah Mdaka, Berea

I started applying Intense Repair Serum at night, which quickly relieved the 28 February 2013 irritation. I have also been BEFORE using Youth Boost and OptiAgeing capsules for the past month.

The irritation has completely disappeared and there is only a tiny rough spot on my nose, almost the size of a very short strand of hair, which I am sure will soon be gone.

Marietha Bester, Parow A client of mine, Narisa Coetzee, had a bacterial infection on her face which spread whenever she touched it. She had consulted a doctor who prescribed cortisone cream. But before she began using the cortisone cream she enquired from my consultant whether Annique did not have a solution for her. My consultant made contact with me instantly.

We mentioned to Narisa that we were not in a position to replace the doctor’s medication, but suggested she give Annique a try before commencing with the cortisone treatment. Narisa agreed and started the following routine on a Friday night:

1 March 2013

I came home on the 3 March and applied Revitalising Cream and Miracle Tissue Oil. After only two applications the rash and marks had completely cleared.

4 March 2013 AFTER

At night, wash with Sensi Crème and apply Resque Crème and Miracle Tissue Oil afterwards.

In the morning, rinse the face with Rooibos Tea, followed

by Resque Crème and Miracle Tissue Oil. Apply Resque Crème up to five times a day.

After only two weeks there was an excellent visible improvement – without use of the cortisone ointment!

Thanks to Annique for such outstanding products which deliver such extraordinary results.

Clarissa van Loggerenberg, Pretoria

BEFORE

AFTER

On 1 March, while in Zanzibar, I had an itchy rash from the malaria tablets I was taking. Apparently it is one of the known side-effects. I immediately applied Resque Crème and the itching subsided.

I continued with Resque Crème and OptiClear, and the swelling and itching were greatly relieved.

Celeste van der Walt gave me this tip and I have used it often; a true miracle! As always Annique is the best.

Chrizel Strauss, Pretoria

My son often gets terrible coughs when he eats anything cold, be it yoghurt or juice. One Sunday morning I had gone out and his Dad allowed him to have yoghurt directly from the fridge. When I got home I realised he had started coughing, it was around 15:30. I went to a pharmacy to get him some medication just to calm him until Monday. It was either that or we had to take him to hospital; the only medicine that helps him in that condition is the Singular Sprinkles which you can’t get without a doctor’s prescription - and he had to be nebulised as well.

But that day, while I was giving him the cough mixture, my eye fell on the OptiToniQ+ which I was using in the cupboard. I gave him two drops under the tongue and carried on doing my things around the house, while my husband was complaining that I try everything out on them. To my amazement he was the one who noticed that the coughing had stopped and that my son’s wheezing chest had stopped making that awful sound! I now can’t stop talking about our miraculous OptiToniQ+ experience. Beatrice Mbongwa, Nelspruit

Rika’s innovative Teen Pamper Parties a winner

After running out of ideas of what to do for her daughter’s birthday in May last year, Rika Stander, consultant from Port Elizabeth, came up with the innovative idea of holding Annique Teen Pamper Parties, which not only solved her problem but also added to her business income.

Coming up with unique and exciting ideas for a children’s birthday party during the winter months can be quite difficult for moms, leaving them to use the same tried and tested recipe of taking the children to movies or a restaurant with their friends.

However Rika Stander, consultant from Port Elizabeth, identified this gap in the market and used it to extend her Annique business further, by introducing the Annique Teen Pamper Party as a birthday party option for moms to treat their children.

“The thought of Annique Teen Pamper Parties only started when I battled to find fresh ideas for my then five year old daughter’s birthday party in May 2012. I was searching the Internet for party venues, when the idea of introducing skin care to young girls came to mind. I could not find anything related to Pamper Parties for teenagers in the Port Elizabeth area,” says Rika.

She decided to advertise her Annique Teen Pamper Parties on a website offering child-related products and services from newborn to 12 years olds, as a party theme option for mommies to introduce skin care to their daughters in a fun way. The results were amazing!

At the parties, Rika introduces the Face Facts range to the children and allows the girls to do their own facials. The birthday girl is the most important guest and she uses her as her model to demonstrate how to do Annique facials, allowing each of the birthday girl’s friends to apply the products step by step.

“The entire session is interactive and I begin with an activity where the children blow into a balloon all sad emotions, anger, hatred and stressed feelings. They then sit on the balloon until it bursts. This is one way to get rid of unhealthy emotions, as well as creating a lot of laughter. I also play musical chairs which gets a lot of interaction going. I then do some theory with the girls on how the skin looks under the epidermis, why skin care is important, and the reasons for acne and how to prevent it,” says Rika.

She explains to the girls why they should cleanse and the effects of the Annique products on the skin and does a quiz with them after the facials where they can win giveaways, to ensure every girl has learnt something about skin care. Every girl at the party receives an Annique gift too.

“I am serious about helping others and find myself in an organisation like Annique who is dedicated to doing just that. If we teach our young children to look after their skin and take the necessary steps to protect it from the elements, we are giving them a life-changing opportunity and we are doing this having absolutely awesome fun!” says Rika.
