They say women are from Venus and men are from Mars. When it comes to skincare, our different needs can seem worlds apart. We’ve got the low-down on USANA Celavive® for men, to have you lads looking fresh and handsome with a few simple steps.

Beyond the Clean Shave

USANA Celavive Foaming Cleanser not only lifts away the dirt, oil and sweat from a hard day’s work or after the gym, but you can also try it out as a shave cream for a close, smooth shave.

Pro Tip: Replace your razor after every 3-4 shaves to eliminate irritation.

Perfecting the Aftershave Tonic

After you’ve cleansed, use Perfecting Toner to help balance and refresh your skin for an energised and refreshed appearance. Toners are designed to cleanse and purify your skin, but they also help maintain proper moisture levels, and balance the pH levels in your skin.

If you don’t have any cotton pads handy, you can simply splash it onto your face using clean hands. Make sure you apply it to your neck as well as your face.

Pro tip: The USANA Celavive Perfecting Toner also works as a great aftershave tonic.

Double Duty

The USANA Celavive Moisturising Day Lotion and Day Cream pulls double duty—not only deeply hydrating your skin to keep you looking youthful, but also helping to protect it from sun damage and ageing with SPF 15.

Pro tip: Replenishing Night Cream and Replenishing Night Gel feature our exclusive InCelligence® Complex to revitalise the look of skin overnight.

Skincare for Men

Now you’ve got the low-down on how to use skincare products, we’ve got a few more skincare tips to keep your skin in top-notch condition.

Nutrition is important at any age, especially for growing kiddies. We face new challenges in 2018, such as the vast selection of processed snacks available in stores, with added sugar and lacking in essential nutrients. Learn how you can support children’s nutritional needs and fuel them for the best future.

Four Reasons Why Good Nutrition Is Important For Kids

  1. Children never stop growing, from birth to the end of adolescence.
  2. Kilo for kilo, a five-year-old child needs more thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins A and C, and vitamins B6 and B12 than a 25-year-old man.1
  3. Fuel for play periods that include running, jumping and testing of new physical skills.
  4. Nutrients in preparation for the accelerated growth spurts of the teen years.

Today’s Childhood Nutrition

One clinical study after another shows that our children do not receive all the nutrition they need from their diets. In addition to problems caused by high intake of fat, particularly saturated fat, many children are simply not getting enough of the essential nutrients.2 A 2016-2017 New Zealand Health survey found Nearly 100,000 children aged 2–14 years (12.3%) were obese.3

Less than 25% of young people eat the recommended five servings or more of fruits and vegetables each day. And nearly one-quarter of all vegetables consumed by children and adolescents are chips.4 Adequate amounts of key nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B6, magnesium and calcium are missing from the diets of more than 50% of children from 2 to 10 years old.5,6

Childhood nutrition is not only important for a child’s developing years. Maintaining optimal health is a lifelong challenge. More and more medical research is showing that it is the poor diet and bad habits that are established in childhood that may play a role in the development of degenerative diseases of middle and old age. With this in mind, it is important to focus today on maintaining a child’s health through proper eating patterns.7,8

https://www.instagram.com/p/Be5-bG2n_vH/?tagged=usanimals

Essentials for Children

Usanimals contain an array of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, in amounts designed especially for active, growing children.

Vitamins D and C, along with selenium and zinc, support normal and healthy immune function. Vitamins E and C are two of the most powerful antioxidants needed by the human body. Vitamin E is one of the most important antioxidants because it helps to maintain strong cell membranes.9-11 In addition to its antioxidant role, vitamin C is essential to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle and blood vessels. Advanced levels of calcium, with magnesium and vitamin D, play a key role in supporting normal healthy bone and skeleton structure, and strong teeth. Iron, iodine and B group vitamins support normal healthy energy production, which is so important for active children. Iodine along with zinc supports normal growth and development. Beta carotene supports healthy eyesight.

Usanimals have fun animal shapes stamped on the round, easy-to-eat chewable tablets, with a great Wild Berry flavour. They’re free of artificial flavours and sweeteners, to keep parents happy too!

Usanimals is now vegetarian safe. Usanimals is laboratory tested and quality guaranteed. It meets British Pharmacopoeia specifications for potency and uniformity where applicable.

Vitamins should not replace a balanced diet. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL.

Have you dreamed of a skincare product promising youth-preserving results only to be let down time and time again? Now you can make that dream a reality.

Launch Time!

USANA in Australia and New Zealand is proud to launch its high-performance skincare system, USANA Celavive®, at its 20th Anniversary Celebrations on Friday, 12 January in Sydney and today in Auckland!

What Makes Celavive Unique?

This unique line is fuelled by USANA InCelligence® complex, a combination of powerful peptides, botanicals and key nutrients that talk to your skin’s cells to target your unique beauty needs.

As we age, our cellular function slows and becomes less effective, resulting in wrinkles and loss of firmness. By tapping into USANA InCelligence®, Celavive is able to signal your beauty-preserving functions to support your natural ability to retain moisture from within. It also supports other key elements that help contribute to a younger-looking complexion.

In addition to the InCelligence® Complex, Celavive products also feature USANA’s Olivol™ Botanical Blend — a combination of olive, apple, lentil, and watermelon fruit extracts that have been clinically proven to provide 24 hours of rich hydration after just one application.

What’s Missing from Celavive?

All Celavive products are free from harsh preservatives such as parabens and go through rigorous testing to ensure quality and safety.

Let’s Hear It from an Expert

“USANA’s advanced technology has taken traditional skincare to a whole new level. With botanicals and powerful peptides, Celavive goes beyond the surface to communicate with your cells and help you achieve healthier looking, more radiant skin.”
– Dr. Jennifer Lee, Dermatologist

Insider Knowledge

“This advanced beauty line responds to each individual, fighting the appearance of both chronological and lifestyle stress ageing. We’ve seen incredible improvements in the look of skin tone, texture and wrinkles. It’s truly unique.”
 – Ashley Collins, VP of Marketing and Public Relations at USANA.

“Celavive is going to revolutionise the skincare market, providing consumers the unique ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and rejuvenate your youthful appearance,”
– Geoff Watt, Regional General Manager at USANA in Australia and New Zealand

It’s time to talk to your skin, and tell it to be amazing again, with Celavive.

Vivienne says, “Being a business woman who meets a lot of people every day, I have to look my best at all times, with or without makeup. I also want to keep my skin looking youthful! Hence, I need a skincare product that not only makes my skin glow, but also has scientifically proven anti-ageing properties. In Celavive, I have found my answer! Celavive works for all skin types and all ages. I am glad to be representing such an amazing product, and I can’t wait to share it with you.”

Naomi Makahunuiu

Naomi USANA Celavive Ambassador

Naomi says, “As a busy home-school mumma-of-four, in my early thirties, I’m at the age where I think about how I can keep my skin looking young and gorgeous for as long as possible! I want to age with grace and beauty, having a couple of fine lines that show laughter and joy, not an aged face that looks like it’s suffered years of stress.”

“I’m super passionate about Celavive as it gives me a super non-complex way to treat my skin with the love it deserves. Not only that, but I get to share this beautiful product with others, helping them learn how to love and care for the skin they’re in.”

Michelle Heatherley

Michelle Parker, USANA Celavive Ambassador

Michelle has been in the beauty industry for thirteen years and has always had a passion for helping people with their skin. She says, “I have worked with A LOT of ranges over the years, some good, some bad, and all of them expensive. I didn’t start to really get results for my clients until I introduced them to USANA’s products. I love that I can offer a top of the line, holistic approach to skin health that my clients can afford. Celavive is the ultimate skincare with breakthrough scientific technology behind it, and I wouldn’t use or recommend anything else. I love it!”

Tiffany Matthews

Tiffany Matthews, USANA Celavive Ambassador

Tiffany Matthews lives in Tauranga New Zealand with her husband and two children, Frankie and Luca. She says, “As a busy mum I am often pressed for time in the mornings, so it’s important that my skin routine is simple and easy to follow. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, so I need my skin to be healthy and glowing in its natural state.”

“I also know that when we take care of our skin, we are taking care of the largest organ in our bodies. This is why I am so excited to be using Celavive because not only does it make my skin look beautiful, but it can actually aid in my overall health.”

Claire Wu

Claire Wu, USANA Celavive Ambassador

Claire and her husband were introduced to USANA three years ago. She says, “We were so amazed by Dr Wentz’s vision and high quality products, which have helped millions of people. I especially love skincare products and hosting home parties. I love being able to share such game changing products with others.”

International Convention 2017 goers came back raving none stop about USANA Celavive® after having a small taste of it. But, what makes Celavive different? It’s USANA®, so of course it’s going to be the revolutionary science behind the product!

Introducing A New Approach

Using targeted nutrient combinations, USANA Celavive awakens your skin’s natural renewal abilities to help preserve your beauty – improving the look of skin tone and texture.

Better Beauty Support

This enhanced support helps your skin combat not only the natural appearance of ageing, but also environmental stress to restore a healthy looking radiance to your complexion.

Exclusive Technology

The InCelligence® Complex found in USANA Celavive is made up of two bioactive peptides and two botanical extracts. Combined, these ingredients work to counteract visible signs of chronological and lifestyle stress ageing like fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, these key ingredients help boost your skin’s natural power to maintain a healthy skin matrix, including collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, for younger-looking skin.

OlivolTM Botanical Blend

Featuring our patented Olivol® olive fruit extract along with watermelon, apple, and lentil fruit extracts, this botanical blend helps provide lasting moisture for up to 24 hours after just one application.

Celavive Is Formulated Without:

  • Parabens
  • Phenoxyethanol
  • Heavy metals
  • Phthalates
  • BHA/BHT
  • Synthetic Dyes
  • Formaldehyde
  • Triclosan
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  • Hydroquinone
  • Coal Tar

USANA Celavive Clinical Results

A clinical study was completed over a two-week timeframe on 9 subjects . The study found the following results:

  • 180% increase in skin hydration in the first 30 minutes after the application of Celavive Perfecting Toner
  • 70% decrease in water loss in the 30 minutes after the application of Celavive Replenishing Night Cream
  • Doubled skin tension after 3 hours with the application of Celavive Vitalizing Serum

Another clinical study was conducted on 9 subjects aged 45-58 with observable shallow wrinkles. The study found the following result:

  • Diminished fine lines and wrinkles after 4 weeks use of Celavive Hydrating Eye Essence.

The USANA Celavive Experience

“I have been super impressed with the visible results of Celavive even after just one use. I have noticed less visible lines due to increased hydration and a definite new radiance and glow in my skin. Lately when I look in the mirror, I see my skin and think that it’s getting younger, not older – which makes me feel amazing!”
– Naomi, New Zealand

“The first time I tried Celavive, I applied some samples to the back of one hand. I was amazed by how much better that hand looked immediately, and then continued to look and feel for several days afterwards. As you can imagine, I couldn’t wait to buy some Celavive to use on my face and neck. Once again, I was delighted to see immediate results and to begin receiving compliments from my husband and friends about my glowing complexion and fresher, clearer, more refined skin tone. My neck is looking better too. Celavive definitely works, even in your sixties.”
– Joanne, Australia

We can’t wait for you to experience Celavive. You can find out more by visiting the USANA New Zealand shop!

Did You Know That Protein Is Essential to Life?

With the launch of USANA Whey Protein Booster in New Zealand, we thought we’d give you the down low on protein. Protein is a powerful nutrient made up of 20 amino acids that are components of every cell in your body. Protein is used to build and repair tissues and make enzymes and hormones, blood cells and many other substances essential to life. It is also an important building block for muscles, bones, cartilage and skin. Even your hair and nails are mostly made up of protein. Just like fat and carbohydrates, protein is a macronutrient (meaning that your body needs relatively large amounts). But unlike with fat and carbs, your body doesn’t store usable protein. Your amino acids stores are constantly used and must be replenished. If dietary sources don’t provide enough, your body will start to take it from your muscle mass. An adequate dietary protein intake is important across the life cycle, especially as we age. Protein deficiency can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness and hair loss and can contribute to a variety of other conditions.

Why Make Protein Part of Your Diet

Protein has long been used by body builders to help build muscle, but it is also an excellent part of a low-carb diet or weight-management program. Slow-release proteins such as casein from dairy can help stabilise blood sugar — this also helps you feel more satisfied so you are less likely to go back for seconds (or thirds), meaning you consume less calories. During exercise, your body requires a higher intake of good-quality protein to build and maintain muscle (lean mass) and promote recovery. Adjust your protein intake accordingly by consuming more if you are highly active or want to gain lean muscle.

Protein Requirements for The Average Person

Male
19-70 year olds: 64g per day
Under 70 year olds: 81g per day

Female
19-70 year olds: 46g per day
Under 70 year olds: 57g per day

Protein requirement infographic

Muscle Mass and Ageing

After the age of 35, a healthy person loses muscle mass at a rate of 1–2%. While losing lean body mass an average adult can expect to gain approximately 0.5 kg of fat mass per year between the ages of 30 and 60. These changes can be masked by unchanging body weight.

USANA Whey Protein Booster

USANA Whey Protein Booster provides you with pure whey protein to boost your daily protein intake, helping to fuel your active lifestyle. Whey protein is easily digestible and contains essential amino acids helping to support muscle repair and increase lean muscle mass. Protein helps with satiation or a feeling of fullness, supporting your weight management goals.

The source of whey protein in USANA® Foods is from cows that have not been treated with synthetic hormones (no added rbST or BGH). In addition, the whey protein has been processed using low temperature pasteurisation to minimise denaturing of the protein.

Mix 2 tablespoons of Whey Protein Booster with your USANA shake for an additional 10 grams of high-quality, complete whey protein. Alternatively, add to your favourite food or beverage such as water, almond milk, juice or soup.

“I love adding the new USANA Whey Protein to my Nutrimeal shakes. It makes for a great recovery meal after a really hard training session. It’s been working really well lately, especially because I am loading pretty heavy at the moment”, David Bishop, New Zealand Gymnast

“USANA Whey Protein Booster helps personal trainers, like myself, or elite athletes with the recovery process and nutrition, whilst our body is under intense pressure in order to achieve desired results”, Matt Yee, Personal Trainer

Dr. Dawn Ngatokorua, Paediatrician & USANA Asssociate

“Proteins contain amino acids which I refer to as the building blocks of our bodies. As a paediatrician and a mother of three, I am constantly challenged with how children are meant to get enough nutrients to help build their growing bodies in this day and age of poorly nutritious food options. Whey protein contains an incredible range of essential amino acids, which are absorbed quickly hence the reason why I now make sure my son takes his Nutrimeal shake to help him with his sports training and his fast growing needs”, Dr. Dawn Ngatokorua, Paediatrician

The 5-Day RESET Jump Start program is an intense phase to kick off the RESET program. Once you have completed the 5-Day RESET Jump Start program, we encourage you to continue on your journey to better health by transitioning into the 28-Day RESET Transformation Pack. It gives you the time you need to start on the path to a healthy lifestyle. The 28-Day Program creates a supportive environment where change can happen. Success comes from hard work. It’s even more achievable when you’ve got a group of RESETers who have got your back with support, encouragement and enthusiasm.

The 28-Day Program creates a supportive environment where change can happen. Your strong leadership will make all the difference for the people in your program—and for your business. Success comes from hard work and a focus on helping others by providing support, encouragement and enthusiasm.

What Do You Need to Do Before the Program Begins?

  1. Prepare Your Kitchen

Getting your kitchen and pantry stocked with the essentials for a healthier diet can put you in the right mindset for a 28-Day Program and prepare you for cravings between meals. Dump the unhealthy stuff, such as prepackaged foods, biscuits and sweets. Create a shopping list, and then stock up on healthy foods and snacks.

  1. Prepare Your Meals

Meal prep is a great strategy for healthy eating success. Plan a week’s worth of healthy meals on the weekend. Think basics like grilled chicken, quinoa, fresh fruits and veggies, and Greek yogurt. Shop for the items you’ll need over the weekend, and be ready for the week ahead.

  1. Plan Out Your Fitness

Productivity studies have shown that things written on an actual calendar—either a paper calendar or planner or in a phone are far more likely to be completed, no matter how busy you are. Make sure exercise is on your calendar. Find a time and schedule it, even if you wake up early, run during lunch or take a walk after dinner. Plan what you want to do (cycle, lift weights, Pilates, etc.) and commit to it.

  1. Find Ways to De-Stress

Stress goes beyond mental and physical fatigue. Unchecked, it can contribute to many health problems, even if you don’t realise it. Understand your triggers by asking yourself why you feel overwhelmed—try to be specific. Find your own way of relaxing (reading, talking on the phone, meditating, yoga, etc.) and make relaxation a priority.

  1. Get Ready for The 28-Day Program to Begin

The few days before you get started is the best time for some last-minute motivation to get everyone excited. Make sure you have your kitchen and meals set, enter your exercise plan in your calendar and consider ways to de-stress.

USANA 28-DAY RESET KIT

28-Day RESET Transformation Pack – Available Now!

Take advantage of this limited-time offer and dedicate 28 days to a healthier you, to get on the right track to a healthy body and business prosperity!

The 28-Day RESET™ Transformation Pack includes two types of nutrients, macronutrients and micronutrients, to keep the body functioning. These are crucial in order to maintain energy levels, metabolism, cellular function, and physical and mental wellbeing.

Our bodies are complicated, and they have a lot of nutritional needs in order to survive and function. The composition of our diet is essential to meeting these needs so it’s important to understand the two different types of nutrients.

What Are Micronutrients & Macronutrients?

Micronutrients

Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of every system in the body and are vital for good health.

Macronutrients

Macronutrients include carbohydrates, fats and proteins. A proper balance of these three macronutrients is key to providing your body with the energy and building blocks it needs so you can enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle.

In addition to eating one or two low-GI meals per day with fruits and vegetables, boost your macronutrient intake with a nutritionally balanced Nutrimeal™ meal replacement drink that provides a healthy ratio of carbohydrate, protein and beneficial fats.

The 28-Day RESET Transformation Pack Includes

1 x CellSentials®

1 x USANA Probiotic (1 box)

1 x Nutrimeal Drink Mix, Wild Strawberry

1 x Nutrimeal Drink Mix, French Vanilla

1 x Nutrimeal Drink Mix, Dutch Chocolate

1 x Nutrimeal Bulk Pouches (30 pack), Dutch Chocolate

CellSentials

The CellSentials are a combination of two products – Vita-Antioxidant and Core Minerals. Formulated with InCelligence® Technology, it provides a comprehensive spectrum of the necessary vitamins and minerals adults need every day for optimal health and energy levels.

USANA Probiotic

This blends two strains of probiotic bacteria that have been clinically proven to survive transit through the acidic environment of the stomach, and promote a natural balance of beneficial microflora in the gut, eliminating stomach upset caused by a change in your diet.

Nutrimeal

This is a low-GI formulated meal replacement drink and a quality source of protein, carbohydrates, dietary fibre and many micronutrients. Nutrimeal has been formulated with a low-GI of 25, to help reduce carbohydrate cravings and deliver sustained energy throughout the day.

Enjoy The Journey to Better Health.
