Anti-Ageing, Health and Wellbeing

While you sleep, your skin regenerates and repairs itself. The ability of your skin to regenerate and repair damaged cells declines with age, hence triggers various signs of ageing to appear. The best way to enhance skin cell regeneration is by using Night Repair Skin Cell Renewal Booster.

Turmeric (curcuma longa) is rich in curcumin, the orange substance with excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, healing and regenerating properties. Clinical studies showed that turmeric-infused skincare products can visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, UV-induced skin ageing and hyperpigmentation.

Studies showed that chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are major causes of all types of hair loss including androgenic alopecia. Apart from finasteride and minoxidil; caffeine, essential oils and vitamins, notably vitamin B3, vitamin E and pro-vitamin B5 can be used effectively to prevent and reduce hair loss.

Antioxidant is a substance capable of neutralising free radicals. Studies showed that resveratrol is the most powerful antioxidant while coenzyme Q10 has both antioxidant and regenerative effects. Vitamin E, coriander and bakuchiol seed oil are also among the best antioxidants to help skin resist future damage.

Androgenetic alopecia is a hair loss condition caused by androgen hormones, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT causes hair follicles to shrink gradually in both men and women's body. Over the times, hair becomes weaker, shorter and thinner. Left untreated, this hair loss condition can cause permanent baldness.

Around 90% of hairs on the scalp are at anagen stage and 10% are at catagen and telogen stages. It is normal to shed up to 100 hairs per day. More often, hair loss is caused by the high number of dormant hair follicles rather than hair fall. There are two effective ways to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

With age, the skin tissues and muscles around the eyes weaken. As a result, the supporting fats moved from the upper eye lids to the lower eye lids, causing the appearance of eye bags and puffy eyes. Apart from ageing and heredity, there are some other factors that can trigger puffiness around the eyes.

The key to a successful hair loss treatment is making sure that hair follicles get all the required nutrients to prevent them from shrinking. In most hair loss cases, hair density can actually be restored, however it will not happen in a few months. It may take years to reactivate all the dormant hair follicles.

Both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide reduce acne inflammation. Studies showed that benzoyl peroxide is more effective for treating inflammatory acne lesions. However, salicylic acid is less drying and less irritating, so it is best for treating blemishes and mild acne including blackheads and whiteheads.

A comparison study between the hair-growth-boosting properties of Rosemary Oil and Minoxidil showed that rosemary is equally as effective as Minoxidil in promoting hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia. Rosemary contains phytochemicals that help prevent the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.

A study published in Toxicology Research Journal suggested that peppermint oil is more effective than minoxidil in promoting hair growth. Peppermint oil has been shown to increase the number and the depth of hair follicles. After 4 weeks, Peppermint Oil improved the hair growth by 92% compared with 55% of Minoxidil.

The skin around the eyes is lacking in oil glands, collagen and elastin. Studies showed that niacinamide increases the production of fatty acids, ceramides and skin's proteins including collagen and elastin by up to 100%. Niacinamide tones and firms up the skin while also soothes and protects it from all ageing factors.
