BABOR organizes auctions to support clean water

BABOR gave 6000 Euro to the humanitarian organization Solidarités International based in Paris, France. As BABOR is re-launching its cleansing product series the company had organized two auctions in which it sold various pieces of art that deal with the theme water to its international customers. The auctions took place during the company’s international conferences in Vienna, Austria, and Belek, Turkey, which brought together more than 300 of BABOR’s most important clients. The auction proceeds are going to support Solidarités International, an organization that is dedicated to bringing people clean drinking water all around the world. “Water is source for all life. In Europe we often take for granted that it is clean and just always there”, explains Jutta Kleine-Tebbe, BABOR chairwoman of the board of administration. On January 17^th, she personally handed over the cheque to Camille Niel of Solidarités International during her visit to BABOR’s headquarter in Aachen.

The re-launch of BABOR’s cleansing product line also gives a BABOR classic a facelift. The HY-OIL, an unique 2-phase cleansing product, was developed in 1956 by Dr. Michael BABOR, laying the foundation of the company. Back then it was revolutionary, today legendary, cleansing the skin in a sensitive yet thorough way, enabling the skin to take best use of active ingredients.

BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush The art of cleansing reaches perfection

The art of cleansing reaches perfection

At BABOR, facial cleansing has always been the first step to beauty. That may not come as a surprise considering the first product developed more than 50 years ago by the company’s founder, Dr. Michael Babor, was a cleansing product, namely the legendary HY-ÖL^®.

The tradition of cleansing has now been tuned to a new vibe, or to be more precise, to 10,000 fine vibrations. 

The BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush creates good vibration with extra-fine, soft bristles, ending off the cleansing ritual with BABOR’s classic product HY-ÖL^®.
In the first phase, the precious oils in HY-ÖL^® cleanse the skin. In the next phase, a Phytoactive herbal complex that is specially tailored to the individual skin type is added to the HY-ÖL^® and moistened with water. This creates a gentle cleansing emulsion which, when combined with the Sonic vibrations and the soft, extra-fine bristles of the BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush, has an even deeper cleansing action. Finally, rinse off the emulsion with plenty of water and enjoy the good vibrations!

The deep-pore cleansing principle: the 120,000 oscillating bristles on the BABOR Sonic Cleansing Brush can even reach uneven pores with ease to remove dirt particles deep down in the skin– in just one minute. 

BABOR Cleansing – Limited Art Edition Now Available

BABOR is presenting a Limited Art Edition of its legendary HY-ÖL^®. Four double packs, each containing one bottle of HY-ÖL^® and one of the Phytoactive herbal complexes for individual skin types, are presented in an elegant box. The designs on the boxes are show artworks auctioned by BABOR to raise money for clean drinking water projects led by French humanitarian organization, Solidarités International.

HY-ÖL^® contains quillaja extract, which ensures even more effective cleansing and acts like a dirt magnet. Pure hydrophilic oils such as soybean oil, sesame oil and peanut oil blend completely with cool water to remove oil-soluble particles from the skin. 

HY-ÖL^® is free of preservatives and is particularly gentle on the skin. The Phytoactive herbal extracts are tailored to individual skin types and contain an active, detoxifying ingredient obtained from Agrimonia eupatoria, which stimulates the metabolism.

BABOR Spoils

BABOR spoils for my big day & honeymoon

Step back into time with me as I prepared for my big day. The weeks before the wedding saw me BABOR-Beauty-Prepping my skin to ensure it looked radiant for when I said my I-do’s.  As most brides-to-be my stress levels were high as the last minute rush kicked in and the final arrangements were made. During such a time, skin can show signs of stress but I was lucky to be treated to an indulgent BABOR facial to ensure it looked anything but. It was important to make certain my skin was glowing, especially for such a special occasion and that’s exactly how it looked and felt after a BABOR SKINOVAGE^PX Facial.  BABOR ampoules were applied for extra moisture and nourishment giving my skin an additional glow.

Not only did my skin look radiant but thanks to TOUCH SPA @ SEASONS http://www.seasonssportandspa.co.za/ my hands and feet too looked beautiful after my bridesmaids and I spent a day at the spa being treated to indulgent mani’s and pedi’s.

I felt fantastic on my wedding day thanks to BABOR and their beautiful products and my skin continued to feel great as I spent my honeymoon in the Maldives with my BABOR products close at hand. Thank goodness for my Hy-ÖL, Phytoactive Combination and SKINOVAGE^PX moisturisers -honeymoon-must-haves!

Thank you to BABOR for the wonderful flowers you treated me too as well as the gorgeous Women’s EDP, you made my day so very special and I am privileged to represent such a fabulous brand.

What is Pranic Healing®?

Prana is a Sanskrit word that means life-force. Pranic Healing® is a highly evolved and tested system of energy medicine developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui that utilises prana (life-force) to balance, harmonise and transform the body's energy processes. It is a simple yet powerful system of no-touch energy healing that addresses physical and emotional imbalances, based on the fundamental principle that the body is a self-repairing, living entity that possesses the ability to heal itself and that the healing process is accelerated by increasing this life-force that is readily available from the sun, air and the earth. This invisible vital energy or prana keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. In acupuncture, the Chinese refer to this subtle energy as Chi. It is also called Ruach or the Breath of Life in Hebrew. Master Choa Kok Sui says: ‘Life energy or prana is all around us. It is pervasive; we are actually in an ocean of life energy. Based on this principle, a healer can draw in pranic energy or life energy from the surroundings.’

 

 

Pranic Healing® requires no drugs, gadgets, not even physical contact with the subject. Physical contact is not required because the practitioner is working on the bioplasmic or energy body and not directly on the physical body. This energy body, or aura, is the mould or blueprint that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. It is the energy body that absorbs life energy and distributes it throughout the physical body, to the muscles, organs, glands, etc. The reason Pranic Healing® works on the energy body is that physical ailments first appear as energetic disruptions in the aura before manifesting as problems in the physical body. This pervasive energy that surrounds, interpenetrates and sustains the physical body, also affects our emotions, our ability to handle stress, relationships and even finances. Try this powerful and effective, profoundly healing therapy for yourself at Lotus.
