Are you trying to delay the ageing process?

Aging occurs in almost nine million species on earth, and scientists haven’t figured out a way to stop it, so we can’t really help you with that. But we do have just what you need to reverse and stall the aging process considerably!

REVERSE AND STALL THE SIGNS OF AGING

Generally speaking, men have thicker, oilier and warmer skin than women. So while many of the women’s anti-aging products in the market work really well, they won’t be as effective for men.

Thankfully, Institut Arnaud, a professional skincare brand that has been dominating French salons since 1945, has created OLIGOJI35, an anti-aging product line for men aged 35 and older.

OLIGOJI35 combines the unrivalled antioxidant properties of Goji berries with the strength of several trace elements containing unique energizing power. The result is refined skin texture, with signs of fatigue erased, and wrinkles and fine lines significantly blurred.

OLIGOJI35 SCRUB CLEAN FACE

A facial cleansing cream with exfoliating action, OLIGOJI35 Scrub Clean Face removes dead skin cells for smoother skin and bright, consistent complexion, while also preventing the growth of ingrown facial hair. Say goodbye to blemishes and bumpy skin! The smoother your facial skin is, the younger you look!

OLIGOJI-HydratantApaisantApresRasage-TubeEtui-BD-RVB[1]

OLIGOJI35 SOOTHING FLUID AFTER-SHAVE

Razor burns damage the skin and can leave it blotched and swollen. OLIGOJI Soothing Fluid After-Shave is designed to calm skin irritation. Its alcohol component cauterizes skin after shaving, while its hyaluronic acid and glycerin hydrate your skin and fills in any existing wrinkles. Your skin feels soft, refreshed and matified.

OLIGOJI35 EYE CONTOUR CARE

The skin around the eye is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on other parts of the face. That’s why it requires special care. Anti-wrinkle, anti-dark circle and anti-puffiness, OLIGOJI35 Eye Contour Care reduces wrinkle length by 31% and gets rid of 26% of your total wrinkle surface area in just 28 days!

OLIGOJI35 ANTI-AGING CONCENTRATE

Designed to combat existing wrinkles and fine lines and prevent new ones from developing, OLIGOJI35 Anti-aging Concentrate effectively firms the skin and repairs surface damage, leaving you with skin that’s soft, smooth and elastic. Look young and feel young again.

PRODUCTS FOR MEN ON THE MOVE

Institut Arnaud understands that while you’re very conscious about hygiene, your busy lifestyle doesn’t always allow you to use many products at once. That’s why we’ve created OLOGOJI35 Shower Shampoo Hair and Body. With its practical 2-in-1 formula, this product saves you shower time while still making you feel clean, fragrant and refreshed!

To combat sweating and body odor, we offer you OLIGOJI35 Roll-on Deodorant, which guarantees 24-hour-long effectiveness. Attend as many meetings as you want to, and take as many connecting flights as needed without worrying about staying fresh.

Finally, we understand that shaving on the go is difficult for men with sensitive, irritable skin. OLIGOJI35 Soothing Fluid After-Shave has calming and moisturizing activators for a healing and regenerating effect. It moisturises your skin daily, soothes razor burn and provides a long-lasting fresh feel. Apply a hazelnut-sized amount to your face and neck, each morning after shaving. Travelling is made much simpler and more convenient with OLIGOJI35!

Another New Year definitely means you’re getting older. But it doesn’t have to show! Equipped with the antioxidant, restorative and anti-aging benefits of Goji berry plus the power of several naturally occurring elements, OLIGOJI35 will help you reverse and stall the signs of aging. Cheers to more happiness and youthfulness in 2016!

Celebrate the beautiful culture of Oman with Atana Hotels

Leave a comment

Atana Shereen Shabnam

For ultimate relaxation, Oman is the best place to head out to in the Middle East – from here in Dubai, it usually takes me a minimum of 6 hours to get Muscat so going to Musandam or Khasab is even faster. I love Khasab and Musandam as it reminds me of the tranquility back in Fiji and now I have more reasons to enjoy peace weekends with the new Atana Hotels in the area.

Travellers will be delighted to know that Atana Hotels will operate in Oman, focusing on traditional Omani hospitality at an international standard, in the Governorate of Musandam, Khasab, Oman. With two diverse hotels, Atana offers a gateway to the delights of the Musandam peninsula for families and adventure-seekers and a window into the diverse culture and traditions of the community.

Guests at Atana Hotels will find that the culture of Oman, interwoven with contemporary elements is celebrated from the design and layout of the buildings, clustered around a courtyard and ‘oasis’, to the Omani flavours in the restaurant, enhanced by the cultural activities on offer in the hotels.

Enjoying colourful landscapes, spanning green mountains to azure seas; its welcoming people and their communities, Atana Hotels supports local initiatives and the community in a variety of ways.

Newly introduced for 2016 are weekly cultural nights at Atana Musandam, featuring Omani artists and musicians showcasing their work with an Oud player and local ladies demonstrating the preparation of traditional Omani desserts, with the opportunity for guests to sample the unique flavours as well as learn how to prepare the recipes handed down through generations.

Toiletries provided in the rooms and suites are sourced and produced in Oman by Al Husn Toiletries, and the laundry bags are hand-crafted by local women from the Khasab Women’s Association, supporting the colourful textile cottage industry which is still very much part of the local community.

For added ambience, Omani’s in traditional dress light torches around the courtyard at sunset, guests can relax over coffee and dates whilst listening to the performance of an oud player, indulge in henna painting and breathe in the scented aromas of the bakhour (perfumed incense) spread around the courtyard to greet the starry nights of the region.
