With the sun shining and more time on our hands than expected, don’t forget to get your SPF on! It’s easy to think we don’t need SPF when going for short walks, getting the mail or driving. However, small daily sun exposure can cause considerable damage over a lifetime, including wrinkles, dark spots and tougher skin. Multitasking daily moisturizers slip sun protection into your skin-care routine seamlessly, because there’s SPF already in the formula. An ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Here to help with any of your skin care goals including finding the best SPF for your lifestyle all year long.

Q: My glasses keep fogging up because of the face mask I’m using. Is there any way to make this better?

A: There’s no magic fix to this. You can try obtaining anti-fog lens treatments or try coating your lenses with a bit of soapy water and letting them dry before you put on the mask. Some masks allow for a tight fit on the bridge to prevent breath from going upwards, or perhaps your mask can be vented downwards. You may need to get your frame adjusted to allow proper ventilation.

When you’re stuffed up, have a cough/sore throat, and are just feeling fatigued in general, you can look to a natural remedy to help ease your symptoms – essential oils! Not only are essential oils a great way to treat your symptoms, but they can also sometimes shorten the duration of your cold. Eucalyptus oil can be used to help ease breathing by clearing congestion, and camphor oil can help treat any aches and pains. Tea tree oil is a great disinfectant for surfaces and the air, and lavender and chamomile oils can help you get some sleep!

By now, many of us have become really great at physical distancing, in our own space, trying to limit our contact with others. Some have appreciated the opportunities to disconnect, while others may have struggled with a lack of support. As we await physical proximity, many people may experience some feelings of anxiousness. This can be a very normal response, as our systems are overwhelmed with uncertainty, even though we want to see friends, family and loved ones. Allow yourself to acknowledge this has been hard. Try to be kind to yourself, and your take time. But most importantly make contact.

What should you do if your mental health is suffering during self-isolation? Here are some tips: 1. Maintain routine. It helps to manage anxiety and will help you to adapt more quickly to this current reality. 2. Engage with Nature. Make the most of any private outdoor space you have. Getting sunshine is imperative for a healthy mind. 3. Try something new. Now is a great time to learn how to sew or tackle a DIY project. 4. Limit your news intake. A near-constant stream of news reports about an outbreak can cause anyone to feel distressed. 5. Stay connected. Download a video chat app and have fun chatting with friends and family.

Spring is often associated with re-birth, renewal and rejuvenation. As the earth rotates to increase daylight to the relevant hemisphere, our brains and bodies also need similar adjustment. Taking time to clean up our mental clutter is important to our sense of balance. Advanced technologies such as Direct Neurofeedback can help support this overall renewal of your mind and body by re-balancing the communication between the left and right parts of our brain. Optimizing our brainwave patterns, can lead to increased energy, elevated mood, improved sleep, and result in overall better productivity as we spring forward into optimal selves.

Essential oils can be great travelling companions. Be sure to keep a bottle of Eucalyptus essential oil in your carry-on. Eucalyptus is known as an immune booster and decongestant; if change of altitudes leads to sinus discomfort, inhale this before the plane takes off and while it lands. If you suffer from motion sickness, carry Ginger essential oil with you as it can prevent and reduce symptoms of nausea. Peppermint essential oil may help to prevent headaches caused by motion sickness or stress. If you know what ailments you are prone to, prepare for the journey beforehand by adding a few drops of the correct essential oil to aromatherapy jewelry, or a personal inhaler.

While it’s true that some health conditions are more common with age, there are some symptoms that should be discussed with your doctor. 1. Memory loss – this can sometimes be the result of medications, vitamin deficiencies, and some disorders. 2.

Depression – certain health conditions and medications can make depression symptoms worse, but this problem can be treated professionally. 5. Weakness – a good exercise program can help prevent loss of muscle mass.
