　　你陷入美容護膚誤區了嗎?下面快來看看美容護膚的知識吧~

　　1.Soap is Bad for Your Skin

　　1.香皂對面板有害

　　Traditionally, soap was a mix of animal fats and fruit or vegetable oils.This combination has a high PH and is drying to skin, particularly to aging skin.These days, however, soaps are formulated with synthetic elements that are milder than traditional soap, and therefore suitable to cleanse skin.Most soaps have emollients ***moisturisers*** added, so they are beneficial for the skin.If you prefer the cleansing feeling which soap provides, don’t let those purveyors of fine skincare bully you—there’s nothing wrong with using soap.

　　從傳統上來說，香皂是動物脂肪和水果或植物油的混合體。這種化合物的PH值很高，會令面板，尤其是老化的面板，變得乾燥。現如今的香皂在配方中加入了較傳統香皂更為溫和的人工合成成分，因而適合清潔面板。大多數香皂都添加了潤膚劑***潤膚霜***，所以對肌膚有益。如果你更喜歡用香皂潔膚的那種感覺，那麼就別讓那些高檔護膚品的經銷商們把你給唬住了——使用香皂一點兒問題都沒有。

　　2.Dry Skin Causes Wrinkles

　　2.乾燥面板造成皺紋

　　Around eighty percent of lines and wrinkles are caused by the sun.The other twenty percent are the result of facial expressions such as smiling and frowning.If you smoke, the appearance of these wrinkles is accelerated.Also, as one ages the skin makes less natural oil and this makes the wrinkling more apparent.A moisturiser will help temporarily smooth away some early fine lines.Protect yourself from the sun, and you impede the development of fine lines.Remember, a tan is your skin’s reaction to an injury.

　　約80%的細紋和皺紋是由陽光造成的。另外的20%則源於微笑和皺眉等面部表情。如果你吸菸，皺紋就長得更快。另外，隨著一個人年齡的增長，面板分泌的天然油脂會減少，而這會令皺紋更加明顯。潤膚霜能暫時撫平一些早期的細紋。避免讓自己受到日晒，你就能抑制細紋的發展。記住：晒黑就是你面板受損的反應。

　　3.It Can Be Too Late to Start Wearing Sunscreen

　　3.想要開始塗防晒霜時可能為時已晚

　　The cumulative effect of the sun’s rays causes a multitude of damage to skin, but it’s never too late to start protecting skin from the sun.There is clinical evidence that once you start protecting the skin, it has the ability to repair itself.This repair is not going to happen overnight; it’s a gradual process that can take a couple years to yield significant results.Do your skin a favour and start the day with a layer of sunscreen.And remember to wear sunscreen during the winter.Just because you don’t feel the sun’s rays, doesn’t mean its harmful UVA and UVB rays are not penetrating your skin.If you can see shadows, you need to protect your skin.

　　日積月累的日晒會對面板造成嚴重損害，但是什麼時候開始讓面板避免日晒都不晚。臨床證明，一旦你開始保護你的面板，它就擁有了自我修復的能力。這種修復不會在一夜之間發生;它是一個循序漸進的過程，可能需要幾年的時間才會產生顯著的效果。幫幫你的面板吧，塗上一層防晒霜再開始一天的生活。此外，在冬天也要記得塗防晒霜。你感覺不到陽光，並不意味著紫外線A和紫外線B不會傷害到你的面板。只要能看到影子，就需要保護你的面板。

　　4.Everyone needs Moisturiser

　　4.人人都需要潤膚霜

　　According to dermatologists, you only need a moisturiser if your skin experiences the following: redness, scaliness or itchiness.These symptoms are more frequently seen during the colder seasons.

　　根據面板科醫生的說法，只有在你的肌膚出現以下狀況時你才需塗潤膚霜：發紅、多鱗或發癢。這些症狀在天氣寒冷時更為常見。

　　5.For Best Results You Should Stick to One Product Line

　　5.為了達到最佳效果，你應該堅持使用同一系列的產品

　　You may love how all the products work together, but using products from different lines won’t kill you.Every cosmetics line has products you should avoid because they contain irritating ingredients, inadequate amounts of sunscreen, or moisturisers that over-saturate the skin.Experiment and find the products that are right for you.

　　你可能喜歡整套產品一起使用的效果，但使用不同系列的產品也不會對你有所傷害。每個化妝品系列都有你該避免使用的產品，因為它們含有刺激性成分、含量不足的防晒成分或是過度滋潤肌膚的潤膚劑。要在試用後找出適合自己的產品。

　　6.Expensive Products are Better

　　6.產品越貴越好

　　Completely untrue.All cosmetics contain standard cosmetic ingredients.They can’t contain anything else, as drugs do, or they would be regulated differently.The quality levels of cosmetic ingredients don’t vary that much, and every company that buys cosmetic-grade ingredients all buy the same quality.

　　完全不屬實。所有化妝品都含有化妝品所需的標準成分。它們不會像藥品一樣含有其他物質，否則它們會受到不同的管制。化妝品成分的質量等級相差不是很大，每家化妝品公司所購原料的質量都是相同的。

　　7.Eating Chocolate and Fried Foods Causes Bad Skin

　　7.吃巧克力和油炸食品對面板不好

　　Studies have shown that pimples are caused from factors such as extreme stress or dead skin cells blocking pores.However, eating fresh fruits and raw vegetables does promote a healthier complexion due to their vitamins and minerals.

　　研究表明，粉刺是由過度壓力或死皮細胞阻塞毛孔等因素所致。然而，多吃富含維生素和礦物質的新鮮水果和蔬菜確實對面板有好處。

　　8.Frequent Trimmings Can Make Hair Grow Faster

　　8.經常修發會使其長得更快

　　Hair, whether it is cut or not, grows about half an inch per month.Hair does grow slightly faster in the summer, but that is due to hormones rather than the stylist’s scissors.A worrying trend among young Chinese girls is to rub a paste made of crushed contraceptive pill into their scalp and hair.This does not lead to stronger, glossier, faster growing hair.In fact, the hormones, while initially improving the condition of the hair, quickly lead to hair loss.

　　P.S.You can’t repair split ends.The only way to rid of split ends is to cut them off and prevent them in the future with good hair care.A good trim will eliminate split ends, making hair look healthier and livelier.

　　無論剪髮與否，頭髮都會以每月約半英寸的速度生長。頭髮在夏季的確會長得稍快一些，但那要歸功於荷爾蒙而非髮型師的剪刀。在中國的年輕女性中出現了一股令人擔憂的風尚，那就是將避孕藥碾成粉末弄成糊，塗到頭皮和頭髮上。這不會使頭髮更加堅韌、更有光澤、長得更快。事實上，荷爾蒙雖然在最初會改善髮質，但轉而就會導致脫髮。

　　此外，你不可能修復分叉。擺脫分叉的唯一方法就是將其剪掉並精心護理頭髮以防其日後再現。修剪得好就會清除分叉，令頭髮看上去更加健康和灑脫。

　　9.Shaving Makes Hair Grow Back Darker and Coarser

　　9.剃除毛髮會令其長得更黑更粗糙

　　As above.Cutting or shaving any hair on your body does not affect it growth.

　　如上所述，修剪或剃除身上的任何毛髮都不會影響其生長。

　　10.You Can Get Rid of Cellulite

　　10.你可以擺脫脂肪團

　　The truth is, nothing can be done to permanently eliminate cellulite—not even liposuction.The removal of cellulite remains one of the holy grails of cosmetic dermatology.It doesn’t matter whether you’re fat or thin, rich or poor, luck of the gene pool determines who will and won’t get cellulite.Take heart though, you can, however, temporarily reduce its orange peel-like appearance.Specialist firming creams containing caffeine tighten and smooth the skin, while basic moisturisers will also work to hydrate and swell the skin, making cellulite a little less obvious.

　　事實上，做什麼都無法永久去除脂肪團——甚至吸脂也不行。去除脂肪團至今仍是面板美容學上的終極目標之一。它與你的胖瘦、貧富無關，基因庫的隨機性決定了誰會擁有或沒有脂肪團。儘管如此，還是要振作起來，你可以暫時緩解面板呈橘皮狀的現象。含有咖啡因的專業緊膚霜會緊緻和平滑肌膚，而一般的潤膚霜有補水的功效，這能使脂肪團看起來不那麼明顯。
