Say good-bye to dull wrinkled skin. Embrace smooth, silky skin of your face with a natural glow for the NEW YEAR.
MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin
We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.
**Free small testers are available on request** Please contact us to find out more or to order:

AXARQUIA

Axarquia will have temperatures up to 23 degrees until the next Thursday: {Translation, summary}
– 0%. That is the probability of rain in the next few days in the Axarquia. That means that today, Christmas Eve, Christmas and the following days the “good weather” will be present in our region. Sunshine, rather spring-like temperatures and the logical humidity will be present these Christmas days. Today, Velez-Malaga has the highest temperatures in Andalusia as in previous days. 23 degrees which has incidentally caused many people to stroll along the beach and enjoy a spring-like Friday.

SPACE

When will astronomers unveil the truth about the seven planets in ‘solar system 2.0’?:
– The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) meets the 7 intriguing exoplanets orbiting star TRAPPIST-1.
– A mere 39 light-years from Earth, a close neighbor in cosmic terms, the TRAPPIST-1 star is not sun-like. The star is about a 10th of the sun’s mass and about as wide as Jupiter. However, it’s what orbits it that gets exoplanet-hunters excited. Three planets were discovered in 2016 by a Belgian telescope at La Silla Observatory in Chile called TRAPPIST – the Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope. 
– “We know the TRAPPIST-1 planets are made of stuff just like Earth,” Lewis, an exoplanet scientist at Cornell University, said. “So they might have Earth-like atmospheres.”
– Can JWST find out what’s in the atmospheres of these seven rocky exoplanets? Webb’s NIRSpec instrument makes it the only telescope capable of identifying the signatures of molecules such as methane, carbon dioxide and oxygen, possible signs of life on the surface and clues to the makeup of a planet’s atmosphere. After promising work decoding the gases present in the atmosphere of WASP-39b, last week astronomers finally got a glimpse of JWST’s first look at the TRAPPIST-1 system. Full article: https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-trappist-planets
