You would have noticed a trial over the last month or so with some new pricing with our buy 2 get 1 free or buy 3 get 2 free offers.
Well, after much deliberation we have decided they are staying, they have been very popular and the feedback we have been getting has been fantastic.
Because of the big discounts we now offer, we are also changing our postage. Australia Post has put up their post bills again and we can no longer wear it with the huge discounts we are giving so we have to start charging postage. It is not all bad news though, Express Post will now cost $5.00 which is less than it actually costs us, we will wear some of the charges.
Orders over $100.00 will be shipped express post free of charge.
Thanks for all your support

We Finally Found It!!!
What's that you ask?
A shampoo, conditioner and body wash we are happy with.
We have spent the last 6 months testing different shampoos, conditioners and body washes to find one that we are happy with and we finally have. Completely natural and organic!
It will be added to the site over the next few days so keep an eye out for it.
I will be sending an email early next week to keep you all in the loop.
Have a good weekend.

Psoriasis
Psoriasis seems to effect just as many people as eczema does.
We have put together a great resource page on psoriasis and psoriasis treatment
So have a look and learn more about psoriasis and how to treat it.

There Is No Such Thing!
I got an email this week from someone looking to use XMA Skin Therapy, their question?
So tell me, why is your cream going to cure my eczema?
Well, to put it simply, it's not. If you are looking for a miracle eczema treatment, or "cure" then forget about it.
Quite simply there...
IS NO SUCH THING!
Managing your eczema is not about finding that one miracle cure, because you will never find it so stop wasting your time and money.
Eczema can be caused by a range of things, mainly
1. Environment
2. Genetics
3. Diet
4. Lifestyle
So it not about finding the next great thing from overseas to manage your eczema, it is about developing a management plan that works for you, using a combination of methods and treatments.
Over the next few posts I will explore these causes in more option and most importantly what you can do about them.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to email me at rick@xma.com.au

Interesting Eczema Research
I have just been surfing around the internet and have come across an interesting study. The article is from www.news.com.au and I thought you might find it interesting. I also found a link to the study on the Eczema Association Website Here
Defective skin barrier 'key to eczema'

A DEFECTIVE skin barrier is the primary cause of eczema not environmental irritants, according to new research.
The research, to be presented today by the Eczema Association of Australasia to mark the start of Eczema Awareness Week, shows that instead of problems with allergies, tiny cracks in the skin barrier predispose some people to the atopic dermatitis.
Dr John Su from the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne says the findings will revolutionise scientists' understanding of the skin disease, previously thought to have been caused by an immune reaction to allergies.
"Until now, we believed most people with eczema were having an immune reaction to some external influence," Dr Su said.
"However, this new report showed that up to 66 per cent of children with mild to moderate eczema did not actually have raised allergic antibodies.
"Rather, a key factor in developing eczema is the structure of the skin barrier and the integrity of the cells' lipids and binders.
"So we now believe that tiny cracks in the skin barrier predispose some people to eczema."
The report, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, finds that defective genes can affect normal functions of the skin, such as the shedding of dead skin and new skin replacement.
People with those defective genes shed the skin cells much faster than they should resulting in thinner skin barriers.
"People prone to eczema have a much thinner skin barrier than people with normal skin and this can be seen under a microscope, even if they do not have obvious eczema lesions," Dr Su said.
He said while thin skin barriers make people more susceptible to developing eczema, flares or lesions often first occur following the use of irritants such as soap.
The report found genetic predisposition to skin barrier breakdown combined with environmental irritants significantly increases the chance of eczema flares.
The new findings also confirm the importance of treating eczema much earlier in the cycle rather than waiting for a flare to occur, he said.
As always, the information presented from these other websites is not our opinion and we are not endorsing them in any way shape or form.
