Obtain that radiant complexion you’ve always wanted.
Trends come and go, but if there’s one thing we’re all in pursuit of when it comes to beauty, it’s a flawless mien. Great skin is an indicator of youth, strength and vitality. Plus, it is one of the largest organs in your body, and works hard to protect you from harmful elements.
Aside from a suitable beauty routine, what you put into your body really matters. Eating nutrient-rich foods will help slow down the ageing process. Taking health supplements can enhance your looks, too. Here are several that we’d recommend. These products also make great gifts for your loved ones, so keep them in mind for upcoming gatherings this Chinese New Year, and beyond.
THE FRESHEST OF ABALONES
Abalone is known to have abundant nutrients. These include omega-3 fatty acids, which help fight inflammation in the body, and iodine, which is vital for brain health and regulating the central nervous system. Abalone is also believed to promote healthy eyes, alleviate colds, reduce water retention and improve blood circulation.
There’s no better brand than New Moon, the No. 1 selling abalone brand in Singapore. Only premium-grade, great-tasting abalones are used in New Moon abalone products (from $39.80 per can; gift sets are also available at http://www.newmoon.com.sg), which are low in fat and trans fat-free.
Several variants, sourced from different countries, including New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Mexico, are available. New Moon Mexico Abalone is the most prized. Cultivated in pristine, clear waters with the right salinity and temperature, the flesh is supple and delicious. This delicacy is suitable for any festive occasion, especially Chinese New Year, when eating it is said to guarantee surplus and success for the year ahead.
THE NATURAL WELLNESS DRINK
Bird’s nest has long been known for its health benefits. It is rich in amino acids, which are said to support the creation of connective tissue, the skin’s metabolism, and cell renewal. It also has epidermal growth factor (EGF), a polypeptide hormone that promotes skin wellness.
With regular consumption, you can expect your complexion to look more youthful. Bird’s nest is also said to boost the immunity and respiratory system, and improve metabolic functions.
Prepared according to traditional simmering processes under strictly controlled methods, New Moon Superior Bird’s Nest with Rock Sugar is made of superior-grade 100 per cent genuine cave bird’s nest built by swiftlets in natural stone or limestone caves, and is known for its delicious taste.
The bird’s nest used by New Moon is also better for you as it’s chock-full of soluble proteins, and essential vitamins and minerals. Drink it directly from the bottle, chilled or warmed.
New Moon Superior Bird’s Nest with Rock Sugar is now $44.90 for one box (seven bottles x 75g) with two free sets of WMF cutlery (four pieces each) worth $49.90 per set; UP $46.90 per box.
THE ULTIMATE BEAUTY DRINK
Collagen – a type of protein – is what gives our skin strength, structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less and less collagen, and this is where oral supplements can help.
New Moon Inner Radiance Collagen Drink, an award-winning drink, contains an impressive 13,000mg of skin-firming collagen as well as gluthathione, which has whitening properties, and antioxidant-rich macqui berry extract to keep skin looking youthful. For best results, drink a bottle of this fruit-flavoured drink daily before you go to sleep.

Added probiotics promote the growth of good bacteria, which help to treat and prevent blemishes and breakouts, while ceramides and hyaluronic acid have anti-ageing and hydrating properties. Consume the powder on its own or mixed into water.
