Aussie Home Loans heiress Deborah Symond O'Neil has revealed how she is staying healthy during the coronavirus lockdown by going on long walks, doing spinning classes at home and taking a $30 supplement to boost her hair and energy levels.
The 32-year-old daughter of Australian financier John Symond and founder of e-commerce fashion platform Mode Sportif has been isolating at home in Sydney with her baby son and husband, the property developer Ned O'Neil.
Deborah is running her business from home, but also trying to look after her mind and body. She shared the five-minute makeup regime that means she is always ready to tackle any day.

SKINCARE AND MAKEUP
Many have used the coronavirus lockdown as an opportunity to give their skin a bit of a break from daily heavy makeup, instead focusing on using plenty of skincare to keep their complexion looking its best naturally.
Deborah is no exception, and told Harper's Bazaar that she hasn't been wearing much makeup, instead favouring a 'quick and easy' regime that helps to 'brighten' her face and 'hide the hours of sleep' she has been missing on account of her newborn.
'After my morning skin ritual, and having applied my Rationale Superfluid tint, I brush up my brows, and apply the Hourglass clear brow gel,' Deborah told the publication.
She gets rid of her 'unwanted' eye brags with the Bare Minerals Bare Skin concealer, applies a rose-coloured cheek tint and finally a pink-tinged matte lipstick by Estée Lauder to finish off her look (the 'Seduce' colour).
'No mascara for me, I am letting my lashes take a break, and I have really noticed a difference. It takes me under five minutes, but it makes me feel motivated and ready to tackle the day,' Deborah said.

When it comes to skincare, Deborah said she is strict in both the morning and at night.
After cleansing, she will use a hydrating serum and moisturiser from Estée Lauder's Re-Nutriv's Ultra Diamond collection.
She also uses SPF 50 by Rationale in the tinted Superfluid, as it offers both a little coverage as well as high sun protection.

EXERCISE AND SELF-CARE
Exercise has been something Deborah said she was keen to continue during the lockdown.
And while she isn't able to get to her typical Cycology Club spin studio and BodyLOVE Pilates in Woollahra, she has rented both a reformer machine and a spin bike - which mean she can practice at home.
'Every week, I am spinning to my favourite tunes and working on strength and tone using my reformer bed,' she said.
'Being among nature and getting fresh air is my self-care cure,' Deborah (pictured) said
Deborah has been coupling this with long walks around Centennial Park - which is close to her home in Sydney.
'Being among nature and getting fresh air is my self-care cure,' she added.
She also enjoys burning candles, sipping Spritzes and baking Donna Hay recipes while she has the downtime.

HAIR
Finally, the 32-year-old outlined how her hair has been 'loving' having a break from all of the heat styling, while she hangs out at home.
Instead of regular blow dries and straightening treatments, Deborah said she has been using Olaplex to help her hair and an O&M protein masque to 'nourish my hair and combat my post-partum hair loss'.
Deborah has also recently started trying the nutritionist Jessica Sepel's JS Health Vitamins for Hair and Energy, which cost $29.99 and claim to help to boost both.
She also loves Vida Glow's marine collagen ($59.95), which has a string of high-profile fans including Rachael Finch and celebrity facialist Melanie Grant.
Deborah said it is helping hugely with her hydration levels while she's breastfeeding.
Deborah and her partner Ned had their baby son, Beau in February at Sydney's leading private hospital, Mater (the family pictured)
Deborah and her partner Ned had their baby son, Beau in February.
Beau is the first child for the couple, who met over a decade ago through family friends before realising their father's were old associates - Ned's being super-yacht broker and owner of Rose Bay Marina, Denis O'Neil.
'Beau Symond O'Neil. Our darling boy, we dreamed of you and now you're here, our hearts have never been so full,' Deborah wrote on Instagram at the time.
The owner of high-end leisurewear label Mode Sportif thanked her 'birth team' for their help before leaving Mater Hospital in North Sydney on February 17, with her bundle of joy wrapped up in French luxury brand Tartine et Chocolat.
