Here at Body Works Med Spa & Wellness, we’re rather picky about the products we offer for sale. We only bring in products that are clinically proven or supported by some other form of quality research. Furthermore, we only bring in products that our team has tested and loved. After doing our own research and testing, we’re thrilled to now offer Bend Beauty products. This article identifies some of the benefits of these products and shows you just how easy it is to introduce Bend Beauty into daily life.
Bend Beauty Products And Their Benefits
Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Bend Beauty creates premium beauty supplements. You can’t get any more local than that! It’s easy to introduce these supplements into daily life to support long-term skin health and a more youthful appearance. Some of the most popular Bend Beauty products include Renew + Protect, Marine Collagen + Co-Factors, and the Beauty Bar. Below we summarize some of the key benefits of each product.
Renew + Protect
Renew + Protect is a great for reducing skin sensitivity to UV-induced sunburn. This is particularly helpful during those summer months when we’re trying to avoid getting brown spots from too much sun exposure. Renew + Protect is also great for improving skin hydration. If you’ve ever done an Exilis Ultra treatment, you’ll know that maintaining good hydration improves treatment outcomes. Well, this product can help! It also helps to improve roughness and redness from skin inflammation.
Marine Collagen + Co-Factors
Marine Collagen + Co-Factors is another impressive Bend Beauty product. It helps in collagen formation; the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails; and aids the body’s healing process. This is another product that will improve outcomes from Exilis Ultra treatments at Body Works Med Spa & Wellness, especially the Exilis Ultra Facelift and Exilis Ultra skin tightening on the body. Exilis Ultra uses radiofrequency and ultrasound energies to trigger an inflammatory response in the skin, which causes new collagen and elastin production over time. Marine Collagen + Co-Factors will support the production and maintenance of collagen during and after treatments.
The Beauty Bar
The Beauty Bar is quickly becoming a favourite among Bend Beauty fans. It’s the world’s first completely sugar-free, organic, dark chocolate bar infused with collagen peptides and soluble fibre. For the foodies and chocolate snobs out there (no judgement, we’re one and the same!), you might be wondering, “but does it taste good?” The answer is yes. As with dark chocolate generally, it’s not a melt-in-your-mouth experience, but it has a creamy consistency and you can tell that it’s good quality chocolate.
Breakfast Ideas To Introduce Bend Beauty Into Daily Life
Some of the Bend Beauty products are a little easier to introduce into daily life than others. For example, Renew + Protect comes in liquid form and soft gels. It’s easy enough to take a shot of the liquid or pop the soft gels every morning. On the other hand, we may need to be a little more creative with Marine Collagen + Co-Factors. This product comes in strawberry, coconut, and unflavoured powder. You can always mix 1 serving of powder into a glass of water, but that might get boring after a while. So below are three healthy breakfast ideas to introduce Marine Collagen + Co-Factors into daily life.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
Blend the following ingredients and serve in a glass:
- 3 ice cubs
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 heaping spoonful of natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons of cacao nibs (for a chocolate flavour)
- About ¼ cup of almond milk, coconut milk, or coconut kefir
- Optional: protein powder and/or ground flaxseed (you may need to add more liquid if you add one of these)
- 1 serving of Marine Collagen + Co-Factors (both coconut or unflavoured would work well)
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Assemble the following ingredients and serve in a bowl:
- ½ cup of cooked oatmeal (rolled oats cooked in almond milk are nice… you can make a batch one morning and refrigerate left overs for subsequent mornings)
- Sliced apple (you can always replace this with other fresh or dried fruit… the fruit you include should compliment whichever flavour of collagen powder you have)
- Handful of nuts or seeds
- Dash of cinnamon
- Optional: teaspoon of maple syrup or honey
- Optional: protein powder or ground flaxseed/chia seeds
- 1 serving of Marine Collagen + Co-Factors
Collagen Kombucha
This is a great option if you’re not a breakfast person. Mix together in a glass:
- 8 ounces of kombucha (there are lots of flavours available at grocery and health food stores… select a flavour that would go well with your flavour of collage powder)
- 1 serving of Marine Collagen + Co-Factors (use whichever flavour you have)
Of course, forgetting to take your collagen powder in the morning is the perfect excuse to enjoy a Beauty Bar! One chocolate bar represents a full serving of collagen.
