“We act, behave and feel according to what we consider our SELF-IMAGE to be and we do not deviate from this pattern.

The image you hold of yourself is a premise, a base or foundation upon which your entire personality is build. Your self image not only controls your behaviour, it controls your circumstances as well.” Dr Maxwell Maltz

In Wentzel & Cynthia’s new book, Your Face, Your Choice, everything is laid out in a simple and understandable way on how to improve your appearance and how to avoid the traps and pit falls that prevents you from enjoying a beautiful and happy life.

The information in this book will guide you through different aspects of life and how it gets reflected in your appearance, confidence and self-image. It will do it by exploring your current habits, thoughts, lifestyle and environment and show you how it can affect your beauty, health and happiness and how to change it around to a life filled with inner happiness and joy.

"Let your beauty shine inside and out in every way for everyone to  enjoy."

Find out what your face is saying about you and how it shows where you are in the ageing process.

This is a really good time to invest in your own personal well-being. When you feel good and calm, you will be able to handle things better, and the people around you will also feel better. Why not take the time to improve your mental health by trying relaxation techniques like walking, meditation, qigong, or tai chi?

The effects of menopause can make skin problems worse, especially those related to sun exposure. The body produces less oestrogen at this stage in life. The skin's ability to replace and repair collagen slows down and thereby giving the skin a saggy appearance. The change in hormone levels also affects the production of oil in the skin, leading to dryness, dehydration, and roughness in skin texture. Adding a good antioxidant serum such as vitamin C into your beauty routine may be all that is needed to improve your skin. Professional skincare products containing active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's - fruit acids, an exfoliant that removes dead skin build up) and antioxidant serums (vitamins A, C, and E that prevent free radical damage and reverse signs of aging) will do wonders for the skin.

Enzyme therapy, however, provides a much deeper and beneficial action that actually works on a cellular level in the skin through the means of a direct delivery system, normalising and correcting the skin's function. Enzymes improve circulation, blood flow, and oxygen to the skin and remove toxins and waste material through the lymphatic system. They help the skin to repair itself and function normally. Enzyme therapy is especially beneficial during menopause, to minimise the effects of premature aging.

There is a gentle loving energy that fills every cell within us. This is the energy that the Chinese call qi. We rarely acknowledge this part of our being, this higher self. This is the part that some people call spirit, soul, life force, or shen. It is this part that vibrates on a much higher level and connects us with our Creator and with each other. Qi is in us, surrounds us, and connects us with our environment and our environment with us. While we might not consciously embrace this energy, it is still there, affecting our every moment, every thought, every action, every interaction, every reaction, and every result.

We can choose to become aware of this energy, realising that it is available to us from within and without. We can actually work with this energy to create a balance of emotional and mental peace and exuberant physical health, realising that this energy just is and that we are the ones that make it what it is. How we use, neglect, or abuse this energy determines the results we get in life, both our internal and external results, in areas ranging from physical to mental health, inner and outer beauty, fulfilled or unfulfilled relationships, and financial success or ruin.

Once we realise that we can use this energy to make life happen or let life happen to us, we then can choose to live spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically on a much higher plane of fulfilment. When we have moved from a competitive mindset to a creative mindset, it is possible to be in tune with this natural and ever-present vibration of rejuvenating beauty and well-being.
