10 Holiday Skincare Tips
- Omega-3 – maintains the structure and fluidity of cells and moisturises from within.
- Ubiquinol / Co Q 10 – supports the body’s energy production and protects from free radicals
- A complete multivitamin (like Phytomulti) that contains Lutein, Vitamin C and E will help restore collagen and hydration in the skin
- Anti-oxidants such as Ovelle/Heliocare and Astaxanthin to improve internal protection against sun damage and burn.
- Health Renewal’s Green Coffee Bean extract taken a half hour before meals will prevent absorption of sugar and fat and help keep ones insulin levels stable during the festive season.
- Practice deep breathing by counting to 8 whilst breathing in, hold your breath for 8 seconds and breathe out for 10 seconds. Do this a few times every day to help improve oxygenation of your unused lower lung volumes.
- Deep tissue massages or even a relaxing massage every other day will help remove the stressed up feeling you have accumulated over your busy year.
- Yoga, meditation, stretching or any exercise such as 30 minute walk will take your mind off nagging problems and also metabolize the extra calories you may be consuming.
If you have ignored all of the above and need to check in for some much needed help, after the holidays, book a consultation with your Skin Renewal or Health Renewal doctors to assess and recommend treatments to repair and prevent long-term damage!
In the meantime we hope you have a great time during the festive season and wish you all the best.

How To: Keep Healthy With A Busy Lifestyle
Hunger can zap your productivity, but healthy snacks will stifle the tummy rumbles so you can get on with your busy day. Take a bit of extra time in the morning to prep and pack snacks for the day ahead.
Too much screen time without a break is the norm for many of us. If your job leads to countless headaches, you can help stave them off by upping your magnesium levels.
It’s tempting to grab a sweet snack when you’re in need of a quick energy boost, but trust me – it’ll only leave you feeling sluggish later in the day. Plus, sugar is very addictive, and most of your meals probably contain hidden sugars that are tempting you to overeat.
Yup, you read that right. Women everywhere are obsessing over apple cider vinegar at the moment. And the reason for it is quite simple: It’s effective for pretty much anything!
Don’t take this lightly. If you haven’t already got a tub somewhere in your home, you need coconut oil in your life. Right now! This new “miracle” oil is handy for almost every aspect of your health.
