Arkopharma Phytobronz Intense Sensitive Capsules

In the world of tanning where achieving a gorgeous golden tan is the goal, hopefully we've gone beyond tin-foil and olive oil. Do you remember those days? Of teasing out the last rays of the sun, to win that golden look? We've moved on right? Including staying out of blistering sunshine, unless of course we're a mad dog or Englishman.

Fortunately, there are products out there that can help provide that highly sought after golden brown tan especially if our skin is sensitive. Phytobronz is one such product. Phytobronz is an underestimated supplement that deserves to be up there with sunscreen lotions and gels as summer essentials.

So what's good about Phytobronz? Well, Phytobronz helps increase the intensity of the sun and give an enviable tanned appearance. It's job is to provide three fundamental benefits:

- Promote natural tanning
- Revitalise the skin
- Provide a moisturising effect


This product has been on the market a long time which is a useful fact to know. Tried and tested and still in demand, like a good builder or plumber. But while it's been around, it's not well known. There aren't many products on the market which "prepare, nourish and protect" the skin from sunshine, so it's in a class of its own. And unless you're jetting off to blazing sunshine, it's only in demand possibly a few months in the year. Not being an all-year round product, it comes and goes according to season, and therefore off most of our radars.

But it's definitely worth knowing about!

Most of us are aware of damage the sun can do to our skin but tend to reach mainly for sun protection creams and lotions; and, as well as covering up and avoiding mid-day heat, that shouldn't change.

However, the power of Phytobronz, when used in conjunction with sun screen products is to "activate your natural tan and to preserve and protect the skin cells from aging." 'Anti-aging' is not a description I'm fond of because the word conjures up associations which are contrary to basically, life! In this case however the powerful ingredients in Phytobronz protect and moisten the skin so it actually stops the skin from turning into a wrinkled old prune.

However, to get the best results it must be used "before, during and after sun exposure."

The ingredients in Phytobronz are carefully chosen: They include:

- Starflower oil which leaves the skin soft and glowing.
- IHA (Intense Helio Active) Arkopharma's unique compound of natural extracts of red palm oil, capsicum annum and tomato.
- In addition, grape seed extract (rich in OPC's), the strongest anti-oxidant known, being 20 times stronger than vitamin C and 50 times stronger than vitamin E. OPC's help the body to neutralize the invasion of free-radicals, which helps prevent damage to the skin.
- Moreover, Phytobronz combines the main natural carotenoids (lycopene, carotene, lutein), vitamin E, selenium, and marine collagen.

And how do you take it? One capsule per day with a full glass of water at mealtime, at least 15 days before, during and after the exposure to sunlight or artificial UV.

There are two versions of this product:

- For fair, skin complexion..
- For olive skin complexion..

It's sensible of course to avoid sun exposure at peak hours. Use a barrier cream for your skin type during sun exposure; and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Try Phytobronz and notice the difference.

Dr. Hauschka's Translucent Bronze Concentrate - Tinted Moisturiser

Dr. Hauschka's Translucent Bronze Concentrate can be applied either on top of your usual moisturiser or mixed in, to help even out skin tones, soften blemishes and give a sun-kissed look. It can also be mixed with Quince Body Moisturiser and applied to the body to give a more bronzed hue.

Skin Conditions: Normal, Dry, Oily, Mature

Main Features
- Blends and softens the appearance of the skin.
- Smoothes the skin, giving a more even colouring.
- Transparent enough to keep the skin's individual character recognisable.
- Can be used in place of a foundation.

Instructions for use
- Shake the bottle before use, as this product contains substances which sink to the bottom. Just shake to put them back into suspension.
- Use in the morning after using Cleansing Cream and Facial Toner (or Clarifying Toner).
- Create your own shade of colour by putting your moisturiser (Rose Day Cream, Moisturising Day Cream or Normalising Day Oil) into the palm of your hand, and adding a few drops of Translucent Bronze Concentrate.
- Apply to your face, then put on your usual make-up and dust with Translucent Face Powder.
Only mix up the products for immediate use.

Ingredients:
Water/Aqua, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Alcohol, Anthyllis Vulneraria Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Lysolecithin, Beeswax/Cera Flava, Fragrance/Parfum*, Citral, Linalool, Farnesol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol, Benzyl Salicylate, Coumarin, Eugenol, Benzyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Algin, Arachis Hypogaea (Peanut) Oil, Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex/CI 75810, Iron Oxide/CI 77491, Iron Oxide/CI 77492, Iron Oxide/CI 77499 *purely from essential oils and plant extracts - does not contain synthetic fragrance.

Note: The quantities of alcohol in the Dr.Hauschka preparations are not sufficient to dry out the skin and are derived from natural sources such as essential oils, coconut and palm oil. Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea) Oil is extracted by expression from Ground nuts also known as Peanuts. It has an intensive smell and is purified by filtration and steam treatment. The protein part (allergen) is removed, thus making this safe for peanut allergy sufferers.

Some Lovely Hints and tips...
- Translucent Bronze Concentrate looks frighteningly dark in the bottle, but do not worry, it suits everyone and can be diluted by the moisturiser (and it will last longer).
- Translucent Bronze Concentrate mixed with Normalising Day Oil is very good for oily or acne skin as it is not too rich. It gives a light and natural look while helping to balance over-active skin.
- Translucent Bronze Concentrate is perfect for men - it is a very light-textured product, gives a healthy outdoor glow and protects the skin.
- Translucent Bronze Concentrate can be used neat (sparingly) on the face after applying the moisturiser, and try using it neat on your body (or mixed with Quince Body Moisturiser to make it go further) for an instant light tan and healthy shining skin.
