溫熱藍光淨痘導入筆 Blemish Thermal Clearing Device

對於治療初期形成的痘痘非常有效。痘痘形成的初期，肌膚會出現紅腫及痛楚的症狀，那時就是使用溫熱藍光淨痘導入筆的最佳時機，能有效24小時內減退或消除痘痘。
12至24小時內大約進行2至3次療程，每次療程約2.5分鐘，能有效縮短痘痘生長週期及加速痘痘凋謝，令肌膚回復潔淨。痘痘生長的時間愈短，形成疤痕的機會愈低。
痘痘形成的初期，就應該使用溫熱藍光淨痘導入筆，普遍情況下，第一次使用後，痘痘就有明顯改善，痘痘變得細小及紅腫情況減退。如有需要，可於每次療程後4至12小時，再次進行療程。建議先於晚間進行療程，翌日早上及晚間再進行第二或第三次療程。
請勿自行擠壓痘痘，這樣對清除痘痘沒有幫助，更可能對肌膚造成創傷，形成痘疤。避免痘痘情況惡化，應在痘痘形成初期時開始使用溫熱藍光淨痘導入筆治療。
*此儀器不適用於去除黑頭及白頭粉刺。
*此儀器不適用於已結疤或囊腫痘痘。

首部經FDA批准的家用眼部雷射儀器

2011-03-21T05:54:00.000-07:00

The first FDA-cleared, at-home laser clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

In the past, comparable treatments were only available in a doctor's office. Now, you can use this same technology at home. Unlike lotions and creams, which are most effective on the skin's outer layer, the PaloVia laser also works below the surface where wrinkles form. Clinical studies have shown that, with just 3-4 minutes a day for one month, you can reduce eye wrinkles and reverse the signs of aging. Ongoing occasional treatments help you maintain your youthful appearance.

家用眼部雷射儀器
市場上的家用美容儀一般是以離子導入或LED作美肌之效。Palovia 是首部獲美國FDA批准的家用雷射眼周除皺儀。其激發的脈冲细微激光深入皮膚下層，治療衰老的皮肤結構，速進膠原蛋白，重塑平滑年輕的皮膚。
在臨床研究中，經過一個月每日使用3-4分鐘，大部份的使用者皺紋有了明顯改善。

舒緩敏感的護膚成分

2011-03-18T00:04:00.000-07:00

(節錄自我的首本個人著作-美肌之道)

我的美容著作

舒緩敏感的護膚成分

當選擇針對性敏感肌膚的護膚品時，應嚴選一些低敏感性、低刺激性和不含化學成分的護膚品。使用純天然低刺激性的產品，有效減低肌膚發炎而引起敏感機會，亦能提高肌膚的儲水量，增加對外刺激的防禦能力。另外選用具保濕效能的產品亦可改善敏感情況，減低外界刺激對肌膚的摩擦，防止發紅的現象。當選擇潔膚用品時，避免選擇含SLS ( Sodium Lauryl Sulfate ) 界面活性劑( Surfactant )的產品。界面活性劑具有融合水與有機物質的特性，同時它本身也有清潔去污的功能。界面活性劑容易令肌膚的水分流失，減低肌膚的防禦能力而變得脆弱和容易敏感。而擁有先天性發炎性肌膚則應遵照醫生的指示使用適當的藥物和產品作制，切勿亂用坊間的產品而令情況惡化。

天然舒緩成分

蘆薈 ( Aloe Vera )
有效舒緩肌膚，亦可防止發炎，修補肌膚組織。

蘊含蘆薈，洋甘菊和沒药醇等消炎降紅成份

洋甘菊 ( Chamomile )
具抗炎和止癢功效，亦可舒緩過敏現象。
甘菊藍 ( Azulene )
可鎮靜舒緩敏感性肌膚。

含甘菊藍精華,具有消炎抗敏功效,能立刻舒緩發紅敏感肌膚

小黃瓜/青瓜 ( Cucumber Extract )
含維生素C等多種活性成分，具保濕抗炎和鎮靜作用。
甘草酸 ( Glycyrrhizic Acid )
萃取自甘草根，能濕潤和舒緩肌膚。
尿囊素 ( Allantoin )
自紫草萃取，具有抗炎，舒緩和幫助肌膚組織再生。
維他命B2核黃素 ( Riboflavin )
能促進皮膚細胞生長及維持皮膚黏膜的健康，並協助蛋白質、脂肪與醣類的代謝，減低發炎機會。
透明質酸 ( Hyaluronic Acid )
非蛋白質的黏多醣類，屬高度保濕劑。
天然保濕因子( Natural Moisturizing Factor)
能強化角質功能，保持肌膚濕潤。
神經醯氨 ( Ceramide )
天然保濕因子，是角質層重要成分之一，有助強化肌膚的抵禦能力。
燕麥萃取物 (Oat Bran Extract)
發揮抗炎與修復皮膚的特性，能使敏感受損的肌膚得到的滋潤與舒緩。
維他命K (Vitamin K)
對於凝血功能很重要，可改善敏感泛紅和微血管擴張。

此乳液含有舒緩植物精華維他命K。有助於防止血管破裂和微血管擴張

除使用上述成分的護膚品作舒緩用途外，使用防曬品亦是重要的一環，因為日光中的UVA會破壞真皮層中的彈性纖維和膠原蛋白纖維。不知不覺中，使皮膚失去了彈性和張力，提早出現皺紋和鬆弛，亦會減低肌膚的抵禦及自我保護能力，容易因外界刺激而引起發炎，所以防曬品必須每天使用，防止紫外線對肌膚造成的傷害和加速水分流失。

敏感性皮膚護理方法(針對皮膚透薄和微絲血管顯現人仕)

2011-03-16T01:27:00.000-07:00

(節錄自我的首本個人著作-美肌之道)

我的皮膚屬敏感性，只要處於較溫暖的地方皮膚已容易發紅，所以平常的皮膚護理要特別小心。

(在這張圖片可以看到我的皮膚是比較薄和容易發紅)

首先，要認清楚自己是否屬於敏感肌膚，你的肌膚會否有以下特點?
敏感性肌膚的特徵

1. 皮膚表皮很薄，可以明顯地看到微血管。
2. 兩頰常泛紅、甚至有灼熱和刺痛感。
3. 對氣候和濕度變化抵禦力較弱。
4. 更換護膚品時，皮膚出現過敏和不良反應。
5. 出現脫皮和乾裂現象。

敏感性肌膚的護理

1. 避免吃辛辣食物，有效改善敏感情況。
2. 注意補濕，增強皮膚的天然保護皮脂膜。
3. 應用溫偏冷的水洗臉，避免刺激血管產生過度反應。
4. 減少暴露於太陽下或處於濕熱地方。
5. 注重防曬，使用低刺激性成分的防曬品。可選擇純物理性防曬成分為主，例如以二氧化鈦(Titanium Dioxide)和氧化鋅(Zinc Oxide)等作主要成分的防曬產品。
6. 避免過度去角質及使用清潔力太強的潔面產品令角質受損。
7. 盡量選用敏感性皮膚專用和天然成分的護膚品，不要使用太多化學成分、酒精和香料的產品。
8. 減少臉部磨擦或刺激，如使用磨砂膏、去角質面膜或過度按摩和蒸臉等。
9. 減少更換護膚品的頻率，護膚步驟宜盡量簡化。
10. 避免使用果酸和酵素產品。
11. 多吃含維他命C和E的蔬果。12. 作息定時，保持良好的生活習慣。
13. 舒緩日常壓力。

醫學美容療程 利用醫學美容治療亦可有效改善敏感肌膚問題，激光和彩光治療均可改善微絲血管擴張問題和強化肌膚功效。

脈衝染料激光(Pulsed Dye Laser)
脈衝染料光以595nm波長深入皮膚打擊患處之異常色素或血管，能有效治療血管問題如葡萄色斑和微絲血管擴張。
疼痛度: 低至中
有效度: 每2星期一次，一般2 - 3次療程見效

特別推薦
Pyratine XR(舒緩酒糟肌膚)
美國品牌Pyratine XR內含細胞分裂素(Cytokinins)能控制肌膚發炎情況。實驗証明連續使用Pyratine XR四星期能舒緩臉部紅腫，減少痕癢，平均色素和修護受損肌膚。

下一篇網誌我會介紹一下適合敏感肌使用的護膚品。

Instant Wrinkle Fillers

2011-01-18T04:50:00.000-08:00

Instant Wrinkle Fillers
去皺掩眼法

As many of you know, Restylane adds volume to help restore youthful contours and smooth away facial wrinkles by injecting versatile gel to the treated area.

Some people prefer noninvasive anti-aging skincare products as opposed to injectables fillers. There are products claim to have instant wrinkle filling result.
眾所週知注射透明質酸是最快捷填補皺紋方法, 但有很多人不太喜歡這種侵入性的方式。以下兩種保養品有模擬效果。

StriVectin Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler (7% Concentrate)

It's a proprietary combination of natural agents designed to reduce the appearance of both deep wrinkles and fine lines. Apply it directly to "problem areas" such as the deep creases between your eyebrows, at the corners of your eyes, around the lips, and along the folds between your nose and mouth. You can immediately see a visible difference because the gel-like texture fills in the wrinkles and folds. It plumps the skin so that the lines are less noticeable. It may not be too appropriate to put foundation or powder onto the face after using this product, the sticky residue may leave your makeup uneven.
When I check out the ingredient list of this filler, there is a high percentage of gum used in this product. No wonder the texture is so much like a glue and provide a binding effect on wrinkles.

這支深度去皺霜/瞬間無痕膠能讓肌膚看起來更加柔滑細緻和緊實，讓細紋不明顯。蘊含多種活膚植物精萃，令肌膚變得柔滑、細緻和有彈性。當我翻看它的成份表, 發現當中使用的膠質比例很重, 所以有封鎖/ 黏貼的效果, 令細紋立刻變得不太明顯。不適合用後化粧, 會令粧容不均勻。

Estee Lauder Perfectionist Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler

This concentrated treatment helps skin to amplify its natural production of redensifying collagen with concentrated levels of Peptides. It gives you the power to fill, smooth and help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The texture of this products is totally different from StriVectin Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler. It is a highly concentrated cream to make fine lines less noticeable. Please try not to put foundation or powder after using this wrinkle filler, this may leave your makeup uneven and flaky.
這支智慧多元平紋急救筆是非常濃縮保養品，能立即改善所有類型的深層紋路包括微笑紋、深層抬頭紋、眉頭紋以及眼周與唇周細紋。豐厚的質地能填補皺紋，使肌膚更為平滑。此外，亦具胜肽促進細胞和膠原蛋白增生。不太適合用後化粧, 會令粧容不均勻。若要粧容均勻, 除非使用份量極少以及再塗上一層乳液作遮隔。

The highly concentrated texture of both products refines texture of the skin and visibly softens fine lines temporarily by covering up the problematic areas. It actually takes time for the main ingredients such as peptides
to target on the wrinkles.
以上的兩種產品之所以達到即時去皺效果全因掩眼法, 若要有真正效果必須要持之以恆, 讓產品內的主要去皺成份慢慢發揮功效。

Cellulite Treatment

2011-01-16T01:54:00.000-08:00

Shiro's restaurant is consistently on most Los Angeles top ten lists of best resraurants. Their homemade ravioli in a light cream sauce with generous truffle shavings was just amazing. It's time to think of dieting after all these great food.
這碟松露意大利雲吞是我近期的最愛，雲吞皮很嫩滑，餡料和醬汁充滿松露香味。Shiro's 不愧為L.A.十大餐廳之一。美食容易令脂肪在身體囤積, 以下一些療程可有助舒緩這個問題。

Essentially a female phenomenon, cellulite develops in the most superficial of the subcutaneous fat layers. As the fat cells grow, the envelope containing them loses its shape and pulls on their anchoring points to give the skin the 'orange peel' appearance that we know as cellulite. Unlike other forms of fat, cellulite is not responsive to physical exercise or to slimming diets even slim women have cellulite. Fortunately, cellulite can be removed with heat and/or massage.
女性最常遇到橙皮紋問題。人體皮膚包括 3 層組織：表皮層、真皮層及皮下脂肪層。食物受分解後的多餘脂肪，大部分會被送至皮下脂肪層儲存。橙皮紋形成的原因有很多，例如體內荷爾蒙失調、脂肪細胞新陳代謝減慢，影響血液循環及淋巴循環系統，氧氣、營養等不能送到細胞內，也不能排出水分與廢物。結果令細胞變硬並以倍數脹大，結締組織收縮，以至微血管受壓，形成凹凸不平的外觀，看似橙皮狀的皮膚表面，稱為橙皮紋。肥胖或纖瘦的人亦有機會有橙皮紋, 一般改善橙皮紋療程以熱力和按摩為主。

LPG Treatment

Endermologie is the science of cell stimulation developed by LPG. The endermologist glides a hand-held module with a gentle suction and massaging action over the body. Endermologie has many therapeutic uses. This painless treatment produces a feeling of well-being and relaxation. The skin is rejuvenated. Injured or exhausted muscles recover and heal quickly. The silhouette of the body can be re-shaped. Changes in the contours are controlled so that a decrease in volume only occurs where needed.

LPG 的物理性滾軸刺激，啟動深層的細胞反應，促進脂肪分解。內置的運動模式具備修身功能，刺激脂肪細胞的新陳代謝之外，更可活化脂肪消除過程。亦具備塑身功能，能刺激皮層製做更多彈力蛋白及骨膠原，重塑女性體態，並可磨平凹凸不平的橙皮紋組織，令皮膚看起來更光滑和緊緻。這是唯一被美國FDA認證Endermologie活膚科技，確保有效改善橙皮紋。

Home Use Honeybelle Body Buffer
The HoneyBelle® bodybuffer’s patented oscillating technology uses micro and macro mechanical forces to effectively improve the feel and appearance of cellulite in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
The random high frequency oscillation improves blood flow to the treated areas, helps remove toxins and edema (swelling) in the adipose or fatty tissue, and helps stretch the fibrous arches or inner walls of the skin, allowing it to rebound to its normal smooth appearance. The results are almost immediate. Most will feel a difference in the lumpiness of their cellulite after only a few uses.

以上的療程只能有限度改善橙皮紋，若希望有明顯改善，必須配合均衡飲食，適量運動和良好生活習慣。

Soften Dry Skin in Winter

Soften Dry Skin in Winter
冬天柔軟美肌法寶

While I am enjoying my stay in this spectacular hotel, I spend some time to share my beauty tips in my personal blog.
在下塌的酒店與大家分享我的護膚法寶。

Harsh winter weather is tough on skin, and you need to take extra care to stand against the aggressiveness of cold weather. Some of the moisturizers may not be enough for keeping your skin supple and soft for a long period of time. Extra products are needed to enhance the water holding abilities of the moisturizers.

寒冷天氣令肌膚乾燥繃緊, 「保水」比「補水」更重要。

You may need to combine both occlusives and humectants to enhance the moisturizing effect.
你需要濕潤的補濕產品外, 也需要封密水份的密封劑。

What is occlusive?

Occlusive blocks water from evaporating from skin cells. These ingredients are often greasy and are most effective when applied to damp skin.
什麼是密封劑?
密封劑 (Occlusives) - 油性鎖水成分,主要作用將皮膚表面密封起來,防止水分蒸發。

What is humectant?
Humectants attract water from the dermis into epidermis, and increases the water content in the epidermis. It draws more water toward the surface of the skin from inner layers.
什麼是濕潤劑?
濕潤劑 (Humectants)- 親水性保濕成分,功能為吸水補充角質層中的水分,改善角質缺水的現象。

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream

It is an all-natural healing skin cream made from bees wax, propolis and other natural ingredients. It improves your complexion, heals scars, relieves many skin ailments, leaves your hair with a lustrous sheen, and more. As you can see from the picture, the texture is quite thick. I like to use it as an occlusive to my moisturizer.
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream是全天然的多用途護膚霜, 蘊合蜂蠟和蜂膠等天然成份。它能滋潤和更生肌膚, 而且更能舒緩輕微割傷及燙傷,消除紅腫,減退痘痘疤痕,亮澤頭髮等。質感豐厚, 我喜歡以以下方法軟化和滋潤肌膚, 為肌膚進行「保水」。

Use it when your skin is chapped or flaky. Ideal to slather it all over the face on overnight flights to keep skin hydrated.
謹記不用經常使用, 可在肌膚乾燥繃緊或乘搭長途機時使用。
1. Apply your moisturizer onto your skin. Moisturizer acts as humectants and moisturizes your skin.
先塗上潤膚乳或潤膚霜為肌膚進行「補水」。
2. Take a small amout of magic cream and rub into your palm until it takes the form of oil.
把適當(一亳硬幣)份量塗於掌心, 把雙手揉搓令護膚霜被肌膚吸收變成透明狀。

3. Press your palm onto treated area gently. The magic cream acts as occlusives to act as a barrier to keep the water holding abilities of the moisturizers.
雙手輕印在需要滋潤位置上。作用將皮膚表面密封起來,防止水分蒸發,柔軟肌膚。

Flawless natural skin with no heavy makeup

Flawless natural skin with no heavy makeup
自然裸妝塑做亮麗完美肌膚 (不用濃厚粉底)

Everyone wants to have flawless skin, however, no one is perfect. Makeup is the usual way to camouflage all imperfections.

Make up does not have to be overdone. The below system of applying makeup for a natural look is fast and easy when you get the hang of it. Here are some of my tips that you can do on a daily basis to achieve a clean, natural look.
每人都希望擁有無瑕肌膚, 所以經常靠化妝遮蓋臉上瑕玼。其實不用繁複的步驟或濃厚的妝容令肌膚完美亮麗, 只要選對適合的產品便可以簡單的方法達到最佳效果。朋友經常問我為何沒有塗粉底但皮膚卻看似不錯, 以下產品絕對功不可沒。日常我不愛塗粉底或有顏色碎粉, 卻會選用以下三種法寶:-

My three essentials:-

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (Translucent)

There are days that you don't want to put foundation onto your skin, and you still want to achieve a natural look without looking shiny after applying your daily cream. Try this Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder. I prefer to use translucent powder over the other colour to get a natural look.

減退黑眼圈和眼袋方法

Alain Ducasse is known for his incomparable French cuisine and his innovative dining concepts, and without a doubt one of the world’s most decorated chefs. This restaurant -Mix features contemporary and classic French and American dishes with global accents.
今天有幸到法國名廚Alain Ducasse其下的餐廳晚膳。

As you can see from my picture, I was fully exhausted after my long haul flight. My eyes were swollen and eye bags were so visible. Thanks to the below products to soothe the problems.
從相片得知乘搭長途機後, 我的雙眼很勞累。眼袋相對變得顯現. 幸好有以下急救方法。

Loreal Collagen Micro-Vibration Eye Care System
This two step skincare system is a vibrating anti-ageing treatment to combat dark circles and eye bags. Enriched with Peptido Complex to hepl diminish dark pigments and reduce the apperances of dark cirlces. Collagen Biospheres to smoothe the apperance of crows feet. Compatible with a vibrating roller with gentle mirco - pulsations to encourage the blood circulation.

Loreal 膠原眼霜連按摩器
蘊含胜肽和膠原微球體減淡黑眼圈和趕走幼紋。開啓開關掣後按摩器會自動震動, 加速精華滲透和血液循環。

Zensation Eye Massager (official launch -March 2011)
For refreshment and relief of tired eyes. It has an oval shaped massage head which is ideal for the use on eye contour area. This massager vibrates automatically when contacting the treated area, and ceases when essence or cream is being fully absorbed by the skin. Galvanic Ion and ultrasonic promotes the penetration of essences deep into the skin, thus helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The vibrating action increases blood circulation and diminishes water retention to soothe visible eye bags and dark circles.

Zensation 眼部離子按摩去皺儀
眼部離子按摩去皺儀是利用離子原理, 用其產生負離子電流, 把保養品的珍貴精華注入皮膚底層。配合微震動按摩去除眼部浮腫。當導入按摩探頭接觸肌膚便自動開啓運作. 待保養品被肌膚完全吸收後便停止操作。

Always slide the massager from inner side to outer side of the eyes and prevent back and forth action.

Zensation Supertripeptide Enhancer 10%
I usually avoid heavy eye creams to prevent eye puffiness. Zensation Supertripeptide Enhancer is another alternative to eye cream. It is a light weight oil free serum. It smoothes mimic wrinkles in a short period of time. The enhancer also contains Pentylene Glycol to improve the water-binding capability of the skin and increase the degree of hydration.

Zensation 極濃緊緻導入精華液
若使用油膩的眼霜會令眼部加重負擔, 造成浮腫和眼袋. 極濃緊緻導入精華液質地水凝, 另蘊含獨特抗皺元素-三胜肽，能促進膠原蛋白細胞增生，阻隔肌肉與神經傳導，舒緩臉部肌肉收縮，注入肌膚深層更生作用。蘊含高濃度10%三胜肽成份的導入精華液，可24小時持續緊緻，有效預防眼角和臉部細紋產生。

Happy New Year

2011-01-01T03:14:00.000-08:00

To everyone who celebrated New Year's Eve last night and to all who will celebrate tonight - Happy New Year! May 2011 be a year filled with magic, joy and love.

I went to Zuma (a japanese restaurant) to enjoy my New Year's Eve dinner. It is originated from London and offers sophisticated japanese cuisine in an innovative style.

大家好，新年快樂！為慶祝新一年的開始，特別去了Zuma享用了一頓美味的新派日式料理，來自倫敦的Zuma在美國飲食權力雜誌《餐廳》被選為2009年全球100間最佳餐廳。

I highly recommend to use Zensation Ultra Silky Exfoliating Cream before putting on makeup for such occassion. This exfoliating cream revives and regenerates the natural radiance of the most sensitive of the skins. Enriched in rose thorns, it eliminates impurities and softens your skin. You can use it as a mask and put it on for 5 minutes and rinse it off with warm water. The small organic seeds actively stimulate the regeneration of cells and enhances the penetration of the active ingredients by stimulating the blood circulation. Your skin is hydrated and regains its softness and elasticity, and it would be much easier to set the foundation and face powder onto your skin.

在出發前當然為自己裝扮一下。化妝前先用Zensation 玫瑰淨妍磨砂乳霜，乳霜如絲般柔滑的細緻質地，為肌膚帶來極緻溫和的呵護，適合幼嫩敏感肌膚使用。蘊含有機玫瑰籽微顆粒，能溫和軟化肌膚，輕柔帶走老化角質及污垢。玫瑰籽蘊含豐富的維他命C及脂肪酸成分，淨化污垢及溶解舊角質，促進肌膚的血液循環，讓肌膚明亮光澤。在雙重去角質及抗老化功效後，肌膚回復潔淨清新的感覺。另蘊含維他命E、大豆精華油、有機向日葵籽精華油及乳木果精華油能發揮優異的抗衰老效果，滋養肌膚。。糅含有機薰衣草花水及大馬士革玫瑰花精華油，具抗炎，安撫及舒緩效果；。

塗上厚厚一層乳霜於全臉上(避開眼睛四周)，停留約5分鐘，用溫水洗淨，再使用日常護膚品，能使粉底更貼服，皮膚呈現更光滑。

When using the correct eyebrow product and eyebrow color, anyone can have perfect eyebrows.I found the below two products extremely helpful for shaping the perfect eyebrow.

Eyebrow pencil is the most common product to use on ones eyebrows. It may look harsh if use it inappropriately.

With this RMK oval shape eyebrow pencil you will have great control for drawing fine lines and contrast.

Eyebrow powder provides the most natural look. Apply with Chanel eyebrow brush and with light strokes. This small brush is made of synthetic materials. The hair of this brush is hard. It is so easy to use and apply, and your eye brow looks so natural with the help of this perfect tool.

另外，眉型對整個化妝效果有很大影響，我習慣使用眉掃沾上眉粉為眉毛上色，再以眉筆勾畫出眉型。CHANEL的眉掃是我的至愛，它的質地比一般牌子的眉掃較硬，但勾畫出的眉型卻很自然而且容易控制。另外，RMK的眉筆較扁平而且顏色自然，勾畫出的眉毛色調很均勻。

Eyebrow makeup tips

1. Take the Chanel angled eyebrow brush and press just a bit of eye shadow to the brow. Follow the direction of the brow and extend the brushed-on shadow to the edge of the eye.
2. If your brows are really thin, you can pencil them with RMK eyebrow pencil to make it slightly thicker.
