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! Noelien Kock, Brakpan Skin Detox stops eczema Before 96.6kg 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. I also had low blood pressure and after using the Lifestyle Shake, Green Rooibos Tea and OptiToniQ+ my health is now good! Mimi Matlali, Lesotho 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! Jenny, Secunda ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL 2
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! Martholi Thatho, Lesotho 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! Mirisca Ambrose, Vanderbijlpark 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. Antoinette Beukes, Meerensee 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! Grace Farrell, Pretoria 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. Hendrien van der Schyff, Brackenfell After 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! Marietjie Dempers, Pretoria 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. Melissa van der Walt, Potchefstroom 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! Lana Hoffman, Limpopo 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. Mandie Kruger, Potchefstroom 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. Daleen Janse van Rensburg, Hammanskraal ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL 4
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. Christel Stowman, Potchefstroom 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! Theresa Meyer, L Agulhas 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. Minnie Mostert, Mossel Bay 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. Valerie Cooper, Parys ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL 5
JUST SO YOU KNOW products reduce scars and ease Paul s injured legs 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 ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL 6 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 ANNIQUE PRODUCT TRAINING MANUAL 7
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.
