The Launch of a High-Tech Sunscreen!

Do you include sunscreen in your skincare routine? If you have not, better start the soonest 😒 Do not wait for premature pigmentation to appear before you start to do something, it may be well too late…

This happens to someone close to me. He is born with fair, flawless, porcelain skin that women will envy. Yet he found himself too fair. When he was in his 30s, he tanned himself often under the hot blazing sun and even applied some unknown tanning brand lotion. Now he is full of regrets – pigmentation fills up his previous flawless, porcelain face. Pigmentation is something that even with current technology, it cannot be effectively removed. The best reach is only to lighten.

Up to 90% of skin aging and damage is caused by harmful UV rays. UV rays damages the DNA in skin cells, accelerates premature aging, form premature wrinkles, dark spots, and can also lead to skin cancer. Sunscreen application is not a choice, but a necessity for healthy skin.

E.Excel currently has two sunscreen:
Sunny Time SPF 50 PA+++ (30g) lotion-based
Oxyginberry Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++ (30g) cream based

Current new launch SunCacti is gel-based. Depending on which you prefer!

One worthy mention – SunCacti is 60g. Double the grams than the predecessors, yet at a lower price 😃 (S$69.76). Kudos to E.Excel that always try to keep price low but not at the expense of quality!

丞燕 SunCacti

你有把防晒当作日常护肤的一部分吗?如果还没有,可以尽快开始了😒!
别等到色斑爬上脸才后悔莫及——到时候,可能就太晚了…

我身边就有一个活生生的例子。
他天生拥有白皙、无瑕、如瓷娃娃般的肌肤,让许多女生都羡慕的肌肤。但因为他觉得自己“太白了”,在30多岁时常常在烈日下曝晒,还用了一些来路不明的美黑产品。
如今他非常懊悔——曾经的无暇美肌布满了色斑。
色斑,一旦出现,再先进的科技也无法彻底清除。最多只能做到“淡化”。

紫外线会破坏皮肤细胞的DNA,导致:

  • 提前老化
  • 细纹与皱纹

  • 更严重的,还可能引发皮肤癌

所以,防晒不是选择题,而是维护肌肤健康的必需品!

What an irony…

AI business industry is selling the work that still need to be done by humans, to people that are building models that would replace them.

In this real world of “human eats human” to survive, I am glad I have chosen a more humane business model where we work as a team to help one another gain success and live an ideal life!

The Gut Health (Gut Microbiome)

The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates once said, “All disease begins in the gut.”

This proclamation was made over 2000 years ago, yet it is now gaining significant attention. Emerging research is shedding light on the profound connection between gut health and a wide range of diseases, from digestive disorders to autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, and more.

But where is our Gut? The entire digestive tract, from mouth to anus. This includes many organs such as the stomach, small and large intestines, gallbladder, and pancreas. A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut.

An imbalance in the gut microbiome (a diverse community of bacteria in our body) can:

  • compromise immune function, making the body more susceptible to infections and autoimmune diseases
  • promote inflammation, contributing to the development and progression of chronic low-level inflammation such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer
  • can lead to food allergies, eating disorders, obesity
  • may contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative disorders
  • can lead to skin dermatitis such as acne and eczema

When there is an imbalance in the gut, it is known as dysbiosis. This can happen if there

  • are too many “bad” species
  • not enough “good” species
  • not enough diversity of species

Once the communication between the gut microbiota and immune cells is disrupted, it can lead to many diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases, celiac diseases, obesity, and metabolic disorders.

Gut-brain Connection

Gut-brain connection or gut-brain axis is complex and bidirectional. Signals pass both ways between your digestive system and central nervous system (CNS), health or disease in one can affect the other.

The brain communicates with the body through nerves. Your brain and gut are like besties. The gut is practically like our second brain. More information passes between them than any other body system. There are more nerve cells in the gut than anywhere else in the body outside the brain. Their communication includes hunger and satiety, digestion, mood, stress levels, immunity, behavior, etc. An unhealthy gut may contribute to anxiety, depression, and even neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

The Gut-skin connection

Gut-skin connection is another intriguing area of research. Conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis may be influenced by gut health.

Signs of a healthy gut

  • You feel well after eating
  • You do not experience acid reflux, bloating, or digestive pain
  • Your bowel movements are fully formed, solid, smooth, brown, with no straining.
  • You do not notice undigested food, mucus, or blood in your stool

Foods for Gut Health

Dietary Fiber

Dietary Fiber produces high levels of SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) that help to maintain a healthy intestinal mucosal barrier. Butyrate, a type of SCFA with anti-inflammatory regulates the immune system.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid
Omega-3 PUFAs can decrease the growth of Enterobacteria, increase the growth of bifidobacteria, and produce anti-inflammatory chemicals called short-chain fatty acids SCFAs.

Importance
Avoid antibiotic overuse. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome.
Chronic stress can also affect gut health.

Should we be taking Probiotics Supplements?

The body requires a diverse population of friendly gut bacteria. They can help us to improve our digestion and relieve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.

However probiotics found in supplements and some drinks/foods contain only a few different strains of bacteria. Dietary Fiber on the other hand, has a direct impact on constipation and digestion. It can help stools move along more quickly and dietary fiber feeds our friendly gut bacteria to increase in number and kind.

We can obtain fiber from vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes.

The table below gives a good illustration of Probiotics vs Dietary Fiber.
