护肤产品介绍：化妆水 Skincare products Recommendation：Toner

有些朋友反映，她们想更好保养肌肤，但是不知道那些产品好。接下来我会介绍几种我常用，不错用，价格合理，而且在新加坡可以买到的产品。我的肌肤是属于敏感肌，所以太油，刺激性太强的护肤品都会让我的皮肤生痘痘，因此我慎用产品，多会检查产品的成分才决定是否要买。当然各人皮肤肤质不同，因此效果各异。先介绍我最爱的一款化妆水，肌研的化妆水。


我们都知道化妆水的作用是保湿，当然用完后肌肤必须水份饱满，不要感觉粘粘地，要够清爽。用了那么多牌子的化妆水，还是肌研的化妆水让我爱不释手。

因为主要成分是玻尿酸，所以倒了大概两毛钱币份量的化妆水，轻轻拍打在脸上后，可以感觉肌肤变得水润，过后敷上的其他护肤品也能很好地锁住，让皮肤更水润。但是切记，不要买抗老或美白系列的，因为那些化妆水不是太粘稠，就是用了后感觉太干。原来系列的化妆水质感最好，没有粘粘的感觉。真如广告宣传的，“一滴锁住一个海洋”！


Some of my friends wanted to start taking care of their skin seriously, but do not know what are the good products to buy. I will introduce a few products that I like to use. These products are reasonably priced, quite effective and can be easily found in Singapore. I have sensitive skin and any product that is too oily or contains certain ingredients that are too strong will not sit well with my skin and result in breakout. Therefore I am always very cautious when buying new products and will double check on the ingredients to ensure that non of the ingredients will irritate my skin. The effectiveness of the products depends on individual's skin type and so you can try out the product and see if your skin can absorb it well.  My favourite all time toner is Hada Labo's hyaluronic acid lotion.

After trying out many brands, Hada Labo is still the most hydrating and really act like it says.  We know that a good toner should be hydrating enough and yet not sticky, so that it can ensure moisture is locked in together with the skincare products that is layered on top after. Due to the hyaluronic acid , the skin feels moist and hydrated after patting in the skin a twenty cent amount of lotion. However, do not buy the whitening or anti ageing series toner because it comes out either too dry on the skin or too thick and sticky. The original is still the best both in texture and effect and it really does lock up an Ocean with a drop!

轻熟肌肤基本护肤 Anti-aging skincare Regime

照顾好皮肤应该从青春期就开始，但是如果没有，那现在亡羊补牢还来得及。不同年龄层的保养方式不同。这里我要谈的是28岁到45岁左右的肌肤保养方法。年轻的皮肤看来平滑、紧致、有弹性、有光泽，没有任何明显斑点。如果要看来年轻，皮肤就必须至少要达到无明显斑点，没有明显皱纹，水分饱满、有光泽的状态。因此，每天的护肤4步骤一定要做到。

1）每天两次的洁肤，如果有化妆就必须用专属部位的卸妆品来卸妆，再用洁面乳清洗一遍。

2）清洗完了必须用化妆水补充和锁住水分

3）过后用针对本身肌肤问题的精华液

4）最后如果是白天就用润肤液，晚上用晚霜。晚霜比较浓，在晚上用能确保护肤品中的养分能深入肌肤。白天用晚霜将因太油腻而使粉底更容易糊掉，甚至阻塞毛孔。

5）白天如果出门，一定要涂上防晒液，这样才不容易生斑，也避免皮肤更快老化。

每个星期一次到两次进行深层护肤。

1）用磨砂膏去除死皮

2）用膏状面膜敷脸，能帮助收缩毛孔，紧致肌肤，深层清除毛孔中的污垢

3）清洗面膜后，敷上眼膜，再敷纸状美白保湿面膜

4）半小时后，可取下面膜，根据面膜指示，轻拍脸上遗留的精华液或从完成以上护肤步骤2- 4.

如果可以，润肤液和精华液每三个月换一次，以避免皮肤习惯了同样的护肤品，效果停滞。就讲到这里，下一次我会介绍一些不错用的产品哦！

It is important to take care of our skin from teenage years, however if you have not started, it's never too late to start now! Different age group should have a slight difference in skincare regime because of the difference in typical skin problems faced. I will be touching on the skincare regime of age group from 28-45 years old. A youthful face has relatively clear, smooth and radiant complexion. For a mature person to look younger, his/her skin should not have obvious wrinkles, dull skin with dark patches. Our goal is to achieve hydrated, tight and clear skin. Therefore it is important to follow the daily skincare regime to maintain good skin.

1）Cleansing the face two times a day is vital and if you put on makeup, ensure that you use the remover specific for that part of your face so that it will not dry your skin especially your eye area.

2）After cleansing, use a toner to hydrate and lock up the moisture so that the products used afterwards will adhere to your skin and work on it better.

3）After that use essence that is for your skin concern.

4）Lastly, use a moisturising lotion in the day and night cream at night. Night cream is richer and can provide nutrients to your skin when you sleep. If you put on cream in the day, the richness of the cream will make your makeup run and also clog up your pores.

5）During the day time, putting on sunblock is very important to prevent spots and premature ageing of skin.

Every week, deep cleansing should be done.

1）Exfoliate the skin to remove dull skin

2）Use clay mask to tighten skin and pores and remove impurities from pores.

3）After washing off the clay mask, put on eye mask and after that hydrating paper mask.

4）After half an hour, the paper mask can be removed and follow the instructions indicated by the manufacturer by patting in the excess essence left on the face or follow with skincare step 2- 4.

If possible, change your essence and moisturiser every three month to ensure your skin did not get used to the product and not absorb as well as before. I will be introducing some products that I have used and did positive things to my skin the next time round. Stay tune!
