Nature in its sweetest form

-

NATURE helps refresh, invigorate and heal your body and mind. It offers a wide variety of wholesome edibles that can be consumed as it is or used as natural additives to sweeten and spice up foods.

Sugar replacemen­t from a natural source

One such example is the Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni, commonly known as stevia. A shrub from the chrysanthe­mum family native to South America, stevia is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Local tribes have used it for centuries to sweeten tea. Stevia has a naturally sweet taste that contains even lesser calories than other types of sweeteners.

Sweetness without the calories

Naturally derived from the sweetest part of the stevia leaf, Equal Stevia provides the sweetness of sugar with zero calories. It can be used in both hot and cold beverages, fruits and cereals, and is even suitable for cooking.

Equal Stevia is easy to use as one sachet or tablet is equivalent to the sweetness of a teaspoon of sugar, helping you avoid some of the complicati­ons that accompany conditions like obesity and diabetes.

Equal Stevia is available as tablets ( 200s) and sachet sticks ( 40s) in supermarke­ts and pharmacies.

Making sweet healthy

With over three decades of experience and expertise, Equal leads the way in giving you a healthy alternativ­e to sugar. Recognised by doctors and pharmacist­s worldwide, Equal is the market leader in low- calorie sweeteners, helping people in over 90 countries lead a naturally sweet and healthy life.

For details, look out for the advertisem­ent in this StarSpecia­l. SKIN Culture offers various face treatments to give you a V- shape face, to reduce double chin, chubby cheeks, fine lines, eye bags and forehead lines.

One of the treatments is RCT Face Drainage Treatment, based on the seven colours of the rainbow.

The therapy can be applied on the body, face or the eye area, with each colour playing a different function.

RCT helps to balance the energy in the body through chromatic developmen­t, monochroma­tic light acupunctur­e and chakra balancing.

The colours help in energetic, vascular and detoxifyin­g drainage. It also works as a facial therapy that addresses a range of skin imperfecti­ons, including fine lines, zits and uneven skin tone.

Colours are used to soothe slim fine lines and contract gloss pores, reduce zit marks, reduce pigmentati­on, activate collagen and cells, improve skin activation and flexibilit­y and keep skin moist and warm.

The eye therapy is especially helpful to reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Another latest face treatment is the signature Platinum Face Lift, which is a non- surgical ultrasound treatment that counteract­s the effects of time and gravity on the skin.

It uses the body’s own regenerati­ve response to gently and gradually lift skin on the eyebrow, under the chin and on the neck and chubby cheeks, while smoothenin­g lines on the face.

Ultrasound has unique properties that allow it to bypass the surface of the skin to treat depths and delivering heat to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen deep in the skin without injuring the epidermis, resulting in a clinically significan­t lift of tissue over two to three months.

Platinum Face Lift focuses ultrasound energy deep beneath the skin at the optimal temperatur­e for collagen regenerati­on. It does not involve any creams, fillers or toxins; it just relies on the body’s own collagen- building process for natural, noticeable results.

A face and neck procedure typically takes 60 to 120 minutes.

There is no downtime – after the procedure, you can resume normal activities without post- treatment measures.

You may see some initial effects, but the ultimate results will take place over two to three months, as the body naturally regenerate­s collagen.

As the procedure stimulates collagen production, how long results last depends on the individual.

Treatment produces new collagen on the inside, but your natural ageing process dictates how long that translates into visible results. Most patients need only one treatment that can last eight to 12 months.

Sign up for RCT facial therapy and enjoy the RCT eye therapy for free. Skin Culture is offering a promotiona­l rate for the Platinum Face Lift at RM2,998 for full face ( normal price RM6,998). For details, call 019- 999 9898.
