Dream to flaunt your fabulous figure whether posing for a selfie or app-free in real life? It is within your reach. Just focus on the good-old stuff: Optimising your overall health, fitness and well-being. Here are 5 tips for a swoon-worthy silhouette to start today!   FUEL UP RIGHT Slimming down starts in the morning to jump-start your fat-torching engine. To shed pounds and keep it off for life, there is no getting around the golden rule that you have to eat breakfast. Fuelling your body with nutrient-dense foods like oatmeal with berries and almonds or yogurt parfait with walnuts toppings literally wakes up your metabolism. Besides ensuring regular morning start-ups, studies have found that omega-3 fatty acids give a metabolism tune-up by balancing blood sugar and reducing inflammation. There is also evidence that omega-3s stimulate leptin, the hormone that signals your brain that you are full to prevent unhealthy cravings and snack-scavenging. Aim for at least one rich source of omega-3 (like salmon and tuna) into your diet everyday. Not Continue Reading

Nailing a flawless complexion can be surprisingly easy. The commitment to good beauty habits to maintain your youthful good looks is a lifetime commitment. If you want a firm and toned complexion (who doesn’t!) in the next decade or two, we’ve rounded up a few easy treatments you should start right now.   1. Non-invasive Skin Tightening Treatments Are you one of those who look into the mirror and secretly wished your brows were a little less droopy, cheeks a little more lifted, or jawline a little tighter? You are not alone. One of the most obvious signs of aging is sagging of the skin. Long before it becomes obvious, invest in the currency of youth – collagen. Try the Trinity Facelift, a skinsaver program designed to help aging skin defy gravity. Ultherapy, the only FDA-approved device approved for non-invasive skin lifting uses high intensity focused ultrasound energy, diving 4.5mm beneath the surface of the skin to induce a productive wound healing response, firming and lifting the skin over the Continue Reading

Why Latest Aesthetic Treatments Mean Less Primping Time Daily

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

The average woman spends 55 minutes getting ready to go out. While one woman (or man) does not speak for all women, that seems like an awful lot of time devoted to morning primping. I even know of women who spend no less than 2 hours getting ready daily. But being busy isn’t an excuse for not looking your best. Since good skincare tips are worth their weight in gold, we’ve collected the latest aesthetic treatments that will improve the complexion quickly so your morning routine doesn’t feel like such hard work.   1. Keep It Clean And Clear Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Deep cleansing helps to remove excessive buildup of impurities in our skin. Removing impurities allows not only better absorption of skincare but also allows natural skin rejuvenation processes to take place. Try ultrasonic cleansing, a spa treatment which uses ultrasonic wave motion to remove dead skin cells on the surface, and removes impurities such as blackheads and whiteheads.   2. Scrub Away Continue Reading

Still Getting Acne As An Adult? Here’s Why

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

When we were teenagers, acne could be explained away as “growing pains”. So we waited for the big day when we would no longer be kids and the acne would finally be gone. But when acne lingers on into adulthood, skin broken out becomes a haunting – affecting our lives socially (and some say, professionally).   THE UNFAIR REASONS WHY WE GET ADULT ACNE Disappointingly, the state of things now is that no one really understands the difference in the cause of teen versus adult acne. The same factors seem to cause both, such as overactivity of oil glands, acne-causing bacteria, clogged pores and hormonal fluctuations. In adulthood, fluctuating hormones can be caused by stress and inflammation. Here are top tips from aesthetic doctors on how to deal with adult acne.   KEEP IT SIMPLE Sometimes, too much of a good thing can actually be bad. Dealing with acne that never seems to completely go away is frustrating and sometimes we get over zealous with our acne products. A mild, Continue Reading
