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。
