Work from Home Business Opportunity not just a dream.
Arbonne Consultant, Debbie Loughnane, Regional Vice President of Arbonne Australia, only started her business in July 2007. She has become one of two women who started her home based business success just one year ago.
MELBOURNE – September 17, 2008: Mercedes-Benz Australia have delivered the first car to Arbonne Australia as part of the new Mercedes-Benz Corporate Programme. Debbie Loughnane, Regional Vice President and Independent Consultant, took delivery of the Calcite White C-Class last week at Poyser Motors, Bendigo. The vehicle was presented to Debbie Loughnane by Brad Kelly, National Manager Corporate Sales, and Rob Sayer, VIP Customer Liaison, Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Arbonne has existed for many years in the United States, with Independent Consultants being rewarded with a white Mercedes-Benz vehicle for attaining the level of Regional Vice President and National Vice President. This is the first Mercedes-Benz to be delivered in Australia to an Arbonne Independent Consultant.
“We see this as the beginning of a highly successful relationship between Mercedes-Benz Australia and Arbonne Australia,” commented Brad Kelly. “We are delighted to offer them the exclusive opportunity to become part of the new Mercedes-Benz Corporate Programme and look forward to the delivery of many more white Mercedes-Benz in the future.”
These sentiments were echoed by Debbie Loughnane, Regional Vice President and Independent Consultant of Arbonne Australia. She commented, “I anticipate great success with Arbonne and Mercedes Benz Australia, and envisage that we will have many white Mercedes driving around.”
Well done Debbie

Sunless tanning has recently become a viable option.
How so and why is it important?
All humans have the basic desire to look good. Having a sun tan gives the feeling of health and vitality but it has associated risks. Sun baking and solarium tanning is still practiced all over the world with the resulting growth in the number of people suffering serious and permanent skin damage. Some skin damage results in death.
A sun tan is the skin’s first indication of sun damage.
Less than 20% of Americans wear sunscreen year-round.
Skin cancers occur three times more commonly than breast and lung cancers combined.
Over 1,000,000 new cases of skin cancer occur in the United States each year.
Herald Sun reporter Norrie Ross reports 30th August 2008..
THE mother of skin cancer victim Clare Oliver has welcomed the tanning industry’s admission that solariums are dangerous.In a major backflip, the tanning industry in Victoria admitted yesterday that solariums not only damaged the skin but were linked to an increase in skin cancer.
The Herald Sun further reports ….
The Australian Tanning Association, its former president Scott Meneilly, solarium chain Body Bronze International and franchise Tropical Sun Industries agreed not to make false and misleading claims about tanning and to inform customers of the risks of using a sunbed.
Now new sunless tanning products are available that give excellent results. What are some of the benefits?
Smooth all over tan
No sun damage risk
Applied with at home convenience
SPF 15, botanically-based self tanner
These sunless tanning products have been truly awesome for me. My family just went to the Bahamas, so I had to be extremely careful. I used BefoRE Sun Made in the Shade, Self Tanner, SPF 15 and came back and used the BefoRE No Sun Intended, Bronzing Powder and everyone thought it was a Bahamas’ tan. Thank you

Found this article posted on Skin Care which was written by a doctor.
He raises points like…
A healthy diet helps “make a man?”
Does a workout scheduled to make a man?
How elegant clothes for the management of projecting the image of a man?
Can the colors you wear make you a man?
Does your behaviour make you a man?
Men who have their hair as often to show the takeoff of a head with hair ornaments. Does the ability to show-off hair to provide a great man with more reason to give their gender as “masculine”?
Skin care could not help a person’s “maleness”, or could it?
Recently, a soldier in Iraq took the time to file an online commentary on humans products for skin care that he had chosen to use. He emphasized the extent to which their elected moisturizer helped him cope with extreme temperatures in Iraq. He emphasized the extent to which the dust of that region created dry skin.
A real man, doing the kinds of things that have historically been carried out by a “real man” should practice good skin care. It helps men to face the challenges of climate in which he must do his duty to his country. Soldiers might be using products that stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein similar to the fiber. When the skin produces collagen, then it is firm to touch. Soldiers also could use products that stimulate the production of elastin. When the skin contains elastin, then you can return to their original position, after having been withdrawn or stretched. No man is going to stay young forever.
However, using the products for male skin care that can help keep your skin collagen and elastin. That way, he can hold-off the appearance of wrinkles. The ageing of skin are usually fails to produce sufficient quantities of collagen and elastin. The ageing of skin tends to wrinkle and sag. However, these characteristics do not make unwanted an early entry into the life of a man who has practiced a good attention. Because he has used the attention, your skin can make or slow the clock, the clock that measures the amount of time until a face shows signs of aging.

the benefits of his face transplant surgery outweigh the risks it poses
The article reports
THREE partial face transplants have been performed worldwide and they have all been successful. Overnight three people were given back a life where they could interact with friends and family as well as strangers without feeling ostracised for their facial disfigurement.
Those who perform this face saving work are to be applauded.

WSOCTV.com postd an article dates August 22, 2008 entitled Weddings in the U.S.
The article reads in part …
For many women, their wedding day is one of the most memorable events of their lives. According to the Bridal Association of America, nearly 2.3 million weddings took place last year, with an average cost of $28,850. The National Association of Wedding Ministers reports June is still the most popular month for weddings. August, September and May are close behind. First-time brides are about 25 and grooms about 27.
The article reports that …
the average wedding party is 12
the average number of guests is 175
99 percent of newly married couples take a honeymoon
On the day the bride is the center of attention. Naturally the bride wants to look her best.
brides need to consider how they want to achieve that “perfect” look. Some women want superficial treatments, like facials, while others opt for more intensive therapies, like chemical peels, BOTOX injections or laser resurfacing. It can take time for some skin treatments to reach their peak effects, or for the side effects of some therapies to diminish. So brides need to start thinking about their skin care needs several months before the wedding. She recommends seeing a dermatologist or skin care specialist right after the engagement. That also gives the bride time to start a good skin care routine that will help maintain her good looks long after the wedding.
Brides can avaoid the stress levels before the all important day by seeking to find the best and most natural skin care available.
Wedding planning is not just for brides. Bridesmaids and mothers of the brides, groomsmen and all attending the wedding can also benefit from planning and starting a good skin care routine before the big day.

French Chemists are combating the growth of network marketing groups who have for years been delivering quality skin care products.
What’s been driving the “growth” of skin care issues. Many of the products still sold by chemists in still contain Mineral Oil. To learn why that is important read this article entitled “Mineral Oil Deivatives in Skin Care Products Questionable”.
The article goes on to say
Whatever the cause of sensitive skin — be it the frenetic pace of modern living or pollution — the fact that conditions such as eczema, rosacea and adult acne are on the rise at the same time as the boom in pharmacy skincare may say something for its efficacy.
Could it be that the rise and phenominal success of companies like Arbonne International are as a direct result of their concentration on products that are pure, safe and beneficial including products that are …
Botanically-based: A proprietary blending of science and nature based on herbal and botanical principles.
pH correct: Skin care pH of 5.5 insures maximum benefit.
Hypoallergenic: Voluntary human testing meets Hypoallergenic substantiation claim criteria.
Dermatologist tested: Voluntary human tests done under the watchful eye of an independent Dermatologist.
Never tested on animals: Voluntary substantiation and safety testing is performed at independent laboratories on human panels.
Formulated without animal products or by-products: Plants and herbs together with science and technology offer superior benefits.
Formulated without mineral oil: Occlusive oil that can interfere with skin functions as well as advanced delivery systems.
Formulated without dyes or chemical fragrances: Dyes and Fragrances are known irritants and can cause allergic reactions.*
My guess is Pharmacists in France will soon have competition from Arbonne.

Mineral oil, a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil (or, basically a refined motor oil), is the main ingredient in many baby care items. Baby Oil, Vaseline® (petroleum jelly) and baby lotions all contain mineral oil as a key ingredient.
The problems
1. The skin is the body’s largest organ and plays a vital role in overall health. Mineral oil acts as a thin plastic, impenetrable layer on the skin. It is difficult to absorb and clogs the pores, which slows the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins – which can promote acne and other disorders. This process slows down skin function and normal cell development causing the skin to prematurely age.
John Hopkins University claims that mineral oil in moisturizers is the number two leading cause of aging (#1 cause is the sun). According to Australia’s National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC), “Prolonged contact with mineral oil has the associated risk of developing skin conditions such as oil folliculitis, eczematous dermatitis, melanosis of the face and plantar warts.”
A recent article in Positive Health Magazine, outlines the dangers of the mineral oils found so ubiquitously in the majority of cosmetic products, including baby oil, lipstick, face creams, body lotions and sunscreens. “Mineral oil (classed as a petrochemical pollutant and xenohormone) can have negative effects on hormones and the skin’s ability to breathe, attract moisture and detoxify. It can also slow down cell renewal and be the second (after the sun) most likely cause of premature ageing. In fact sunscreens produced from mineral oil may promote skin cancer as well as colon and breast cancer.”
Some mineral oils are carcinogenic. Studies have shown that poorly refined mineral oil can induce skin and scrotal cancers after prolonged, repeated, and heavy direct contact with the skin. Australia’s NSHOC reports: “A number of studies have linked cancers of the skin and scrotum to mineral oil exposure.” (Brit J Industr Med, 41, 437-444, 1984.)
2. Once the oil is absorbed, it is broken down by the liver, thus distracting the liver from other detoxifying chores. The liver helps your baby fend off sickness and toxicity.
3. Just having mineral oil around is a liability. If mineral oil is ingested, it will absorb (and essentially rob) vitamins from the intestinal tract – especially oil-soluble vitamins A, D and E. as well as beta-carotene, calcium, phosphorus and potassium and the blood coagulant Vitamin K. This could lead to nutritional deficiencies and other complications.
4. Ingested mineral oil also can impair lung function, a condition known as lipoid pneumonia (New England Journal of Medicine 1998; 339:1947-1948). Dr. Debra L. Bowen from the Food and Drug Administration says the agency “requires manufacturers to label orally administered mineral-oil products as not for use in infants, and to warn against their use in young children or bedridden persons.” Oddly enough, mineral oil is still widely prescribed by some pediatricians as a “safe” laxative for children.

Reproduction of an article by Kit Anderson listed in environmental, originally published in issue 84 – January 2003
Consumers Unaware of What’s in Beauty Products
While it has become a habit for most consumers to scan food labels for percentages of fat, sodium, and carbohydrates, most consumers have no idea what they put on their skin.
However, smart the consumer, one might be surprised to learn that many manufacturers, most notably cosmetic manufacturers, do not even bother to affix ingredient labels on their products (a 2 oz size of a product does not have to list all the ingredients.) Of those that do, mineral oil is usually at the top of the list, even in those products that boast ‘oil free’ on their labels.
Relatively inexpensive and produced in large quantities, mineral oils are the primary oils used in cosmetics, from baby oil to face creams, lipstick and body lotions, to sunscreen and sun tan oils. Mineral oil is a mixture of aliphatic, naphthalenic and aromatic liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum. The composition of these oils varies depending on the crude oil source, the refining process and the additives present.
Adverse Effects of Petroleum Products
Products produced from petroleum, such as mineral oils, are classified as petrochemical pollutants. Petrochemical pollutants also known as xenohormones (xeno meaning foreign) can have a variety of negative hormonal effects in humans by blocking or opposing the action of oestrogen, resulting in …
functional loss of ovarian follicles in females and
decreased progesterone production.
The ultimate consequence of decreased progesterone production, is
oestrogen dominance,
PMS,
endometriosis,
miscarriages
and many types of ovarian dysfunction.
In addition, studies have shown widespread damage to the immune system. Infants of women who have been chronically exposed to xenohormones are particularly susceptible.[1]
Mineral oil coats the skin like plastic wrap, disrupting the skin’s natural immune barrier and inhibiting its ability to breathe and absorb the ‘natural moisture factor’ (moisture and nutrition). Your skin is a vital organ that needs to work with your kidneys and liver to rid the body of toxins. Anything that interferes with this transfer system blocks the elimination of toxins. The skin needs to attract moisture to stave off infection and bacteria. Mineral oil pulls moisture away from the basal cells where cells are newly formed. This in turn slows down the cell renewal rate that breaks down the collagen and elastin and then begins to destroy the connective tissue. It also slows down skin function and normal cell development, resulting in premature ageing of the skin and many other health and skin disorders.
The sun is the number one cause of premature ageing and skin damage. Bad cosmetics and skin care products containing mineral oil and other harmful chemicals run a close second. Because mineral oil based skin care products leave a waxy film barrier, it is very common for cosmetic companies to use SD40 alcohols (isopropyl) in their toners to remove this film. Ever notice the strong smell of alcohol when you open a bottle of toner? These alcohols are also a petroleum derivative. Just one ounce of isopropyl alcohol ingested can be fatal.[2]
More information is constantly being uncovered about the dangers of sunscreen. Most sunblocks that claim to be ‘waterproof’ are currently under scrutiny as suspected carcinogens. Although the medical establishment still strongly supports the use of sunscreens, there is a growing consensus among progressive researchers that the use of sunscreens does not prevent skin cancer and, as a matter of fact, may promote skin cancers as well as colon and breast cancer.[3]
Lip balms, gloss, and lipsticks also contain a significant amount of mineral oil. These products actually produce the opposite effect of what they were intended to do. Acting as a moisture barrier, the mineral oils dehydrate the lips causing the consumer to have to constantly re-apply, which achieves the desired effect, but only temporarily.
Hazardous Ingredients and Legislation
It is a well-documented fact that cosmetics and toiletries contain numerous hazardous ingredients. According to the 1997 Environmental Contaminants Encyclopedia, in humans, mineral oil can cause a variety of untoward effects which can be life threatening. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University are finding that toxins such as xenohormones can damage DNA and lead to breast cancer.[1]
Yet not a single cosmetic company warns consumers of the presence of harmful ingredients in its products – despite the fact that a number of common cosmetic ingredients are carcinogenic or carcinogenic precursors. “These ingredients pose risks of cancer, genetic damage and reproductive toxicity (including infertility) to unsuspecting consumers, and their infants and children”, said University of Illinois, School of Public Health Emeritus, Professor Samuel Epstein MD.[4]
Senator Edward Kennedy also expressed strong concerns on these risks, at hearings on the 1997 FDA cosmetics reform bill. “Our message is that cosmetics can be dangerous to your health…The American people have a right to full and fair information about the actual and potential dangers of the products they use every day.” Today, a coalition of public health and environmental organizations are requesting Senator Kennedy to consider legislation mandating labels for cosmetics and toiletries containing ingredients that pose serious, irreversible health risks.[5]
Despite these considerations, the FDA denies consumers their right-to-know by refusing to require label warnings on the risks of cosmetic ingredients. This failure violates the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act which mandates that “each ingredient used in a cosmetic product…shall be adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing”, and which authorizes the FDA to recall and seize unsafe products. Nevertheless, the Agency merely requires a listing of the complex chemical names or their abbreviations.[6]
Last year the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) revealed that from 1997 to 1999, an estimated 6,400 children under five years of age visited an emergency room after ingesting household chemical products containing hydrocarbons. In addition, data from the American Association of Poison Control Centers for 1993 to 1999 revealed 11,115 potential aspiration exposures to cosmetic and household products containing hydrocarbons.
The most recent fatality of which the CPSC is aware occurred in May of this year after 16-month-old Jaiden Bryson of Bakersfield, Calif. aspirated a baby oil product.[7]
On October 16, 2001 the CPSC voted unanimously to require child-resistant packaging for some common household products and cosmetics containing hydrocarbons that can poison children. Examples of household products and cosmetics covered by the new packaging regulation include some baby oils, sunscreens, nail enamel dryers, hair oils, bath, body, and massage oils, makeup removers and other chemicals, and oil based solvents.
At the 2001 Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association annual meeting, board members, which included representatives from Nu Skin, Herbalife, Shaklee and various other well known brand names and private label cosmetic companies, distributors, manufacturers and suppliers, met to review various studies on topical chemicals suspected of being carcinogens. The members revealed that they were aware of the fact that some of the chemicals used in their products are harmful and carcinogenic, yet the only recommendation from the board was to require ‘warning’ labels on select products.[3]
Hazardous Ingredients to Avoid
There are many harmful ingredients that consumers should avoid: Mineral oil, petroleum, petrolatum - petrochemical xenohormones that are now threatening not only our health but also the normal development of humankind;
SD40 alcohol (isopropyl) – petroleum-derived substance, it is also used in antifreeze and as a solvent in shellac and diluted essential oils. Fatal when ingested;
Talc – poses a serious risk of ovarian cancer. Estimates are that up to 17% of American women regularly use talc in the genital area. Women have been compelled through advertisements of the cosmetic industry, to dust themselves to mask odours. Talcum powder has historically been a symbol of freshness, cleanliness and purity. Talc is even more commonly used on infants;
DEA, MEA, TEA, (diethanolamine, monoethanolamine and triethanolmine), cocamide DEA, lauramide DEA - these are almost always in products that foam, bubble bath, bodywash, shampoo, soap, facial cleanser. On the TV show ‘CBS This Morning’, Roberta Baskin said: “It (DEA) is in hundreds of cosmetic products but it does something more than make soap bubbles. A Federal government study says that DEA and DEA-based detergents have been shown to greatly increase the risk of cancer, especially liver and kidney cancer“;[7]
Fragrance - many of the compounds in fragrances are carcinogenic or otherwise toxic. Fragrance on a label can indicate the presence of up to 4,000 separate ingredients. Most, or all of them are synthetic. Symptoms reported to the FDA have included headaches, dizziness, rashes, skin discolouration, violent coughing and vomiting, and allergic skin irritation;
FD and C colour pigments – according to A Consumer’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Ingredients: “Many (pigments) cause skin sensitivity and irritation and absorption (of certain colours) can cause depletion of oxygen in the body, and death”.[8] In Home Safe Home, author Debra Lynn Dadd said: “Colours that can be used in foods, drugs and cosmetics are made from coal tar. There is a great deal of controversy about their use because animal studies have shown almost all of them to be carcinogenic”;[9]
Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) – not only are these potentially carcinogenic, but they contribute to stripping the skin’s natural moisture factor, leaving the immune system vulnerable;
Triclosan – the EPA gives triclosan high scores both as a human health risk and as an environmental risk.
Most people that buy and sell products containing these ingredients don’t even know they are harmful. The FDA has a GRAS list (Generally Regarded As Safe), and almost everything is listed there. Marketers selling these products mainly focus on the marketing hype and what the product is supposed to do for skin (clean it, make it feel soft, etc.). Sadly, of the 7000 ingredients used on the skin, only 5-6 have been tested for long-term safety, and none have been tested together. Currently, 125 ingredients are strongly suspected carcinogens, 20 cause adverse nervous system reactions and 25 are connected to birth defects.[6]
In 2001, consumers purchased just under $21.0 billion-worth of healthcare and personal products, such as cosmetics and other toiletries, without proof that they even do what they claim. So what are consumers really buying? Just a quick look at a few of the popular brands may change your buying habits forever.[10]
Child safety packaging and product warning labels are not enough. Not even close. Petrochemicals are all around us. They’re pervasive in the air, soil, water, food, and products we use on a daily basis. Therefore, your strategy has to be first education and awareness and then to take all the personal steps that you can to minimize your exposure.
Consumers must get into the habit of looking for all natural, botanically formulated products (plant derived). Don’t be fooled by those that claim to be botanical but are actually mineral oil based with added herbs and nutrients. Although these companies are far and few between, they are out there. Unfortunately you will not be likely to find these products on the shelves of your favourite drug or department store. While mineral oil based products have a 15-year shelf life, true botanicals usually expire after a couple of years. Ingredients such as herbal and botanical extracts, apricot, camellia and chamomile oils, and natural fragrances such as jasmine, lavender and orange blossom are indicative of true botanicals.
As health conscious consumers we seem to be on our own with this matter. It doesn’t appear that government legislation or the private sector will prohibit the use of harmful chemicals any time soon. There is a lot of helpful information available for anyone that wants to take the time to educate themselves. And, there are safe alternatives available. You just have to know where to look for them.

Barbara Kantrowitz andPat Wingert wrote an excellent article about … Fake Bake Debate
They say:
Despite objections from the indoor tanning industry, dermatologists present more evidence that there’s no such thing as a healthy tan.
Further they repport:
More worrisome is the increased risk of skin cancer associated with UV rays. Sunburns have long been associated with skin cancer, and Dr. Scott Fosko, chairman of dermatology at St. Louis University School of Medicine, says people can get burned in tanning salons as well as from the sun. “The tanning industry says tanning beds are a safe way to get a tan, but I see a lot of people who use tanning beds who get burned,” he says. “They are not foolproof.” Those with the lightest skin need to be the most careful.
I thoroughly recommend reading their article.

New York Times reporter, NICHOLAS BAKALAR (August 18, 2008) wrote an interesting article about how in the past sales people promised to smooth wrinkled skin with the style of a snake-oil salesmen.
He reports that “now there is strong evidence that certain kinds of treatment are effective. Over the past decade, researchers have been learning which treatments work, and why.”
The article comments on a recent review in The Archives of Dermatology. The article reviews three forms of treatments.
In that article David J. Leffell, a professor of dermatology and surgery at Yale who was not involved in the review said, that this study is “good science.”
He says:
Skin deteriorates as it ages, but its exposure to sunlight inhibits the ability of fibroblasts to produce collagen. The hands, face, neck and upper chest all suffer more than unexposed skin, and light-pigmented people wrinkle more readily than others. This damage, the authors write, is essentially an accelerated version of chronological aging. Ultraviolet radiation induces production of the same enzymes that degrade collagen with age.
Collagen fibers last as long as 30 years. But with age and ultraviolet exposure, they deteriorate and fragment, and fragmented collagen impairs the collagen-producing function of the fibroblasts that created it. As the fragmented collagen accumulates, new collagen production declines, the connections between the fibroblasts and the collagen weaken, and the skin, now lacking support, begins to wrinkle.
Do the benefits of these treatments outweigh the risks?
“It’s a matter of the kind of problem a person perceives and how he wants to deal with it,” Dr. Fisher said. “For these treatments, which have sound research behind them, and for people who want to improve their appearance, the benefits far outweigh any problems.”
The article makes the comment that the authors have no ties to companies that make skin care products, but the University of Michigan, where they teach, has patents on the use of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors in the treatment and prevention of aging skin.
