The year 2020 was unpredictable and chaotic. Collectively, we learned that nothing in life is certain and we don’t really have as much control as we think we do. Despite this, we can shift our focus to things we actually do have control over. This mindset shift can make the beginning of a new year, 2021, much better than the previous. One thing we have control over is how we take care of our appearance.
An ideal weight-loss solution for 2021
The holiday season is synonymous with an abundance of junk food, alcohol, and other unhealthy habits. It’s easy for even the most disciplined person to fall victim to patterns that are destructive to one’s health and physical appearance. A New Year’s resolution that many people make on 1 January is to lose the holiday weight, but this can be quite challenging when there is a myriad of weight-loss diets to try that may not even be effective. To save you time and money, Skin Renewal has a proven weight-loss solution, the Renewal Institute Diet (RID), which is described as an innovative fat loss program that uses the latest medical technology.
RID helps the body get rid of abnormal fat stores that have piled up in the body over time. It includes a low GL food plan with tons of meals to choose from, supplements, and hCG injections. Low GL refers to the glycaemic load of a meal. The lower the GL of a food, the healthier it is as low GL food reduces blood sugar levels, making you feel fuller for longer periods of time, thus aiding with weight loss. HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone that is produced by the human female body during pregnancy. It is injected into the body to speed up the metabolism and aid with weight loss.
Perhaps you overindulged in junk food and other unhealthy habits during the holiday season, causing you to expand your waistline. A holistic treatment such as RID administered by medical doctors and registered nurses can help you get on track and conquer your 2021 weight-loss goals.
Treating sun-damaged skin
Another holiday pastime that can prove detrimental to one’s health is sunbathing. Actively sitting in the sun for hours can damage the skin, causing rapid ageing, hyperpigmentation, discolouration, and sometimes even disease like skin cancer. This can also be the case if one is constantly exposed to UV rays, even if for brief periods of time, without adequate sun protection. Signs of sun-damaged skin can be seen from as early as 20, although skin changes caused by exposure to UV rays are usually more visible during the ages of 35 to 49.
UV rays thicken the epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, disrupting the skin natural lipid barrier, resulting in water loss and dehydration. This leads to a lack of moisture, making the skin cells look abnormal. If there is an accumulation of these cells, they have the potential to become pre-cancerous or cancerous. UV rays also impair the skin’s production of collagen, a protein that helps the skin maintain its elasticity and youthfulness. Although darker-skinned people tend to have less severe signs of skin-damage than fair-skinned people, people of all shades can benefit from a sun-damaged treatment if they’ve been overly exposed to UV rays.
Skin Renewal has a range of treatments for sun-damaged skin including topical home therapies and in-office therapies. The topical home therapies consist of award-winning product brands made with skin exfoliants, growth factors, peptides, and more. In-office therapies include the 3D peel, TCA (trichloroacetic acid) skin peel, Cosmelan & Dermamelan by Mesoestetic, Pearl™ laser, and Limelight™.
Even though you may have made unhealthy decisions in the festive season, there are effective solutions to dealing with the consequences. Visit Skin Renewal for more information on weight-loss and sun-damaged skin treatments.
