Annee de Mamiel, Founder of Chinese principle skincare brand de Mamiel
Seasonal skincare is so important… too many of us use the same products month after month, but it's starting to change as people realise the benefits of adapting their regime throughout the year. Now's the time to rest and replenish… people feel like they've lost their spark in the winter but if you embrace the good things it can bring, it will put you in a much better place – a positive attitude always helps.

Interview with columnist Kate Shapland and Annee de Mamiel. "The thing that has had the most impact on my life is meditation. I've been doing it for 13 years, after learning it when I was ill with cancer. I was overwhelmed by the illness and prognosis, but meditation seemed to be invaluable for dealing with the despair.....it helps me deal with life's stresses with more patience, acceptance and understanding."

4 Jan, 2012 - The Times
Skincare goes seasonal. Pah! It's not enough to be eating seasonally, now it appears that our skincare products should be seasonal, too. Annee de Mamiel may just have a point. Ingredients to brighten up dry, lacklustre skin include rice bran (to increase microcirculation), marshmallow root (an antimicrobial), grapefruit (which decongests and cleanses) calendula (which optimises skin regeneration), and geranium (great for healing broken capillaries and veins). These are blended into her Spring Facial Oil, £58, from demamiel.com.

THE PRO Should I switch to a different skincare routine for winter? ... Just as we update our wardrobes with cosy knits, so should we invest in skincare to protect against the elements.

Seasonal eating makes a lot of sense to me...what could be more simple than going back to nature and connecting with what our ancestors had to work with and feeding ourselves in this way? Annee de Mamiel has taken this concept and transferred it to skincare with her sublime facial oils.

I'd love to use a facial oil, but I have oily skin. Would using an oil be suitable for me? Facial oils are designed to have a balancing effect on skin, so are ideal for problem, oily or combination skin. Rest assured that facial oils don't, as you might think, add more oil, making the problem worse. 'If the appropriate oils are blended correctly, then they really can help to rebalance sebum production,' says the skincare specialist Annee de Mamiel. She advises choosing products containing oils with antisceptic and anti-inflammatory properties, such as lavender, which are excellent for oily skins prone to outbreaks...

Jun, 2011 - Pomp Magazine: Our pick of London's finest face plumping treatments - Annee de Mamiel.
You've heard of using seasonal ingredients in cooking; well, Annee de Mamiel believes the skin has different needs depending on the time of year too; needs that run deeper than just requiring a richer moisturiser when it's cold. Her Seasonal Attunement sessions use acupuncture and other ancient Chinese philosophies and techniques to unblock, stimulate and re-energise the mind, body and epidermis, with teas and oils prescribed to use at home. Now based predominantly in New York, her rare visits to London are only announced to a select handful of clients, but thankfully she has also made sure that certain therapists at Home House are well-versed in the de Mamiel method. Seasonal Attunement £190 for 90 minutes; demamiel.com or homehouse.co.uk

Each bottle is blessed by the Reiki gods before it's sealed - and she only makes 100 of each oil every season.

Sensitive skin is big news ... look at swapping microdermabrasion for a course of facial acupuncture to get to the root of your sensitivity - and reduce your stress levels. 'In traditional Chinese medicine, we believe stress causes energy blockages in the body, leading to physical symptoms such as inflammation,' says acupuncturist, Annee de Mamiel (www.demamiel.com). 'By treating specific acupuncture pionts on the face and body, we can flood the inflamed area with the blood and oxygen it needs to repair itself and stimulate collagen renewal.'

Any Colour As Long As It's Green
If there is one grey area in beauty it's being green. Words such as organic, biodegradable, sustainable sourcing and fair-trade undoubtedly resonate with the beauty consumer....."I try and be as green as I can," says Annee de Mamiel, founder of de Mamiel skincare. "..I use bottles from Switzerland because they are the best in the world and to me that makes my product sustainable as the oils don't go off so the product lasts longer. And I buy lavender oil from a small farmer in New Zealand who can't afford to get the stamp of organic so I don't call my brand organic...not being accredited doesn't mean you are not aware and responsible."

"What to do? Well, short of getting pregnant (all those extra hormones have awonderful way of plumping up the skin) or setting the alarm clock for 4am so you can apply an extra layer of moisturiser, one thing that does work is a good serum.... Try Annee de Mamiel's beautiful Spring Facial Oil (£55 from demamiel.com). You can either do the massage by hand or try an odd little gadget that I came across the other day called the jade roller (from £25 at yuroll.com)."

1  Aid lymphatic drainage by raising your head higher than your body when you sleep and have the window open to boost oxygen intake.
2  Get your circulation moving when you wake up. Take ten deep breaths then jump around the room for several minutes. Drink a glass of warm water with lemon to eliminate toxins.
3  If you suffer from puffy eyes (indicating a lymphatic system that isn't working well), make green tea ice cubes. Use them as compresses for ten minutes.
4  Rid the body of excess water by drinking fresh orange juice. It contains potassium, which helps to release fluid and firm body tissue. The vitamin C will help improve your complexion.

My mind had calmed down and I felt ready to have a long snooze. My face had a relaxed look to it - not sure I was 10 years younger but it did look softer in appearance. I walked out of the Spa without makeup, no foundation but lots of colour in my cheeks as well as firmer looking completion.
Best bit - Annee is very enthusiastic about what she does and her warmth and sincerity comes across - she is also extremely knowledgeable. And you are not at the end of the treatment rushed out. Care is taken to ensure you get the best experience.

3 April, 2010 - The Times Magazine & Times Online
"De Mamiel is a smiley 39-year old Australian who specialises in facial acupuncture, in my view the only credible alternative to Botox when it comes to treating wrinkles and tissue tone without the need for Valium....De Mamiel, by contrast, charges £125 for around an hour and a half of her time - and it's well worth it. Not only is she an exceptionally gifted practitioner, she is a genuine pleasure to be with...Crucially, she is good at what she does. Very good indeed. She came to acupuncture as part of her battle against cancer...And the treatment? Highly personalised, highly effective, not just in terms of improving the outward appearance of my skin, but also (and without going into too much detail), some of the more tiresome inner workings of my physique. In particular, I noticed a marked firming and strengthening of my jawline (I am cursed with jowliness) which, whilst sadly nothing permanent, nevertheless lasted for a couple of days after each treatment...Go.  You won't regret it."

Spring Skin. Your skin will shine with Annee de Mamiel’s new Spring Facial Oil (£55, demamiel.com)

23 March, 2010 - The Lady Magazine
"..Home House is one of those private members' clubs where the staff make you feel about an inch tall. It's full of size 6 women in six inch heels and men talking into two phones at once. But then I met Annee and the surroundings didn't matter. She radiated warmth like, well, a radiator. She took my pulses, looked at my tongue and sighed. 'Oh you poor blossom', she said. I nearly burst into tears. It felt like she was the first person to notice me, really truly notice me - in years. She lay me down on her couch and bundled me up in a cashmere blanket.  The next 90 minutes passed in a delicious haze. Yes, there were needles but they didn't hurt. There was also massage and other bits and bobs. She reckons facial acupuncture is a real alternative to Botox and, you know what, I believe her. My skin (yes, my skin) looked and felt fabulous.  Back on Exmoor they peered and joked at me. 'You had needles in your face?' I braced myself for the inevitable jeering. But no. 'Come on then, give us her number." www.demamiel.com (just in case you're interested!)"

20 March, 2010 - you magazine

I’m a big fan of acupuncture, so when my colleague Victoria raved about a practitioner called Annee de Mamiel, I was keen to find out more. Australian-born Annee, 39, now based in London, specialises in facial treatments. I imagined this meant popping needles in my face (not as painful as it sounds) and indeed this is part of it, but there is much, much more.

‘Beauty is about being balanced on the inside, in every way – physically and psychologically,’ says Annee. ‘If you feel good about yourself, it reflects in the way you look.  Dry, wrinkled, saggy skin mirrors what is happening in your body, so I look at the roots of the problems and treat those too.’ For instance, the common problem of vertical lines between your eyebrows can relate to liver energy not flowing properly (not just frowning too much!), so as well as needling the lines themselves, Annee treats the liver. She also makes up specially blended oils for each client plus a herbal tea to take home. She incorporates stimulating Tui Na Chinese massage (to invigorate the skin) and LIA Therapy (lymph drainage, incandescent massage and acupressure) to relax you from top to toe. 

Formerly a successful banker, Annee studied acupuncture after recovering from cancer, which was diagnosed in 1998. She credits her health today to the integrated approach that her doctors fully supported.

The arrival of spring after the dull winter months is always a reason to celebrate- de Mamiel Spring Facial Oil focuses on this very season and the sense of renewal and positive energy that comes with it.  Its creator Annee de Mamiel turned to Chinese Medicine in pursuit of an effective but natural remedy for her own health issues; she then became a qualified Facial Acupuncturist after studying in London, China, New York and L.A, and has set up her own practice in London's Portman Square. De Mamiel incorporates facial oil into her treatments to help revitalise the skin and restore a sense of calm, which led to the creation of her signature range, with a different oil for each season.

12 March, 2010 - never knowingly overwhelmed...

What’s really worth it?

• Floatation:  serious stressbuster but not for everyone. Check how large the tank is (larger is better).
• MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) – check it’s Vodder technique (the gold standard)
• Real aromatherapy (ie by a qualified aromatherapist)
• A seriously good basic massage.  Qualified sports therapists are often fabulous.  Thai massage and Tui Na are usually good.
• Facial acupuncture: a serious Botox alternative in the right hands.  try Annee de Mamiel
