每天早晨你都在犯的四個護膚錯誤

You don't want to start off your day on the wrong foot in the skin care department, right? Right. So the fact that there are things that might be sabotaging your complexion—without you even realizing it—is a need-to-know situation.

在護理皮膚方面，你可不想一大早就出錯，對吧？當然是。但有些事可能正在損壞肌膚而你甚至都沒察覺，這個事實是你需要知道的。

Mistake #1: Over-cleansing (for sensitive types). If your skin gets red and blotchy after washing your face in the morning, you could be stripping away your natural protective oils. "When we overwash, it looks like our skin is broken out, but it could really just be irritated, peeling, and inflamed," dermatologist Gervaise Gerstner, M.D. told us. The solution? Skip the face wash and rinse away any dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria you accumulated overnight with plain water or a micellar water.

錯誤一：過度清潔（對於敏感肌膚來說）。如果早晨洗完臉後，你的皮膚開始泛紅出現斑點，那你就不要再抹天然保護油了。“當清洗過度時，我們的皮膚就好像被搓破了一樣，但也有可能是皮膚受到了刺激、開始脫皮、發炎。”皮膚專家熱爾維斯•格斯特納博士說道。解決方法是什麼呢？跳過用洗面奶洗去一夜之間積累的塵土、死皮和細菌這一步驟，直接用清水或爽膚水洗臉即可。

Mistake #2: Using the same old washclothIf. A washcloth is part of your routine, Kelly A. Reynolds, Ph.D., an environmental health science professor at the University of Arizona, says you need to toss it in the laundry daily. "Washcloths typically become soaked and heavily soiled during use," she says. When used to scrub skin, soils from makeup or dead skin cells can rapidly accumulate. Being wet and not just damp means there is a longer dry time.

錯誤二：總是使用同一條毛巾。凱莉•A•雷諾茲博士說道毛巾是洗臉過程中不可或缺的一部分，每天都需要清洗。她是亞利桑那大學環境健康科學部的一名教授。“使用過程中，毛巾會變得溼透，並黏附上很多髒東西，”她說道。用毛巾擦洗肌膚時，化妝品污漬或死皮細胞會慢慢積累在毛巾上。這時的毛巾並非只有一點點潮溼，而是溼漉漉的，因而需要更長的時間纔會變幹。

Mistake #3: Going in the wrong order. According to New York City dermatologist Jennifer MacGregor, M.D., there's a correct order for your skin care products, and here it is: After cleansing, put on serum (so it can fully absorb), then sunscreen, then moisturizer, and finally, eye cream.

錯誤三：護膚步驟不對。據紐約市皮膚專家珍妮弗•麥格雷戈博士所述，護膚產品的使用順序是有正確步驟的，即：洗完臉後，先用精華素（這樣就能充分吸收），然後使用防曬霜、保溼霜，最後再塗眼霜。

Mistake #4: Cocktailing too many products. There are plenty of skin-nourishing ingredients out there, but trying to go for them all at once could be messing up your face. "Piling on multiple active ingredients can often lead to redness, inflammation, and peeling," says Santa Monica, Calif., dermatologist Sonia Batra, M.D. And while it's true that antioxidants work best when combined (vitamins C and E are an especially powerful duo), retinols paired with acne treatments and alpha hydroxy acids are a recipe for disaster. Her rules for minimizing irritation: Introduce one new product at a time, wait a full minute between layering products to buffer interactions, and go for formulas that are fragrance-free.

錯誤四：使用太多產品。護膚品有很多滋潤肌膚的成分，但是如果一次性塗抹太多反而會毀了自己。“在臉上塗太多的活性滋潤產品往往會導致泛紅、發炎和脫皮，”聖莫妮卡，哈里發和皮膚專家索尼婭•巴特拉博士說道。雖然抗氧化劑混合使用時效果最好這是事實（維他命C和維他命E混合使用簡直無敵了），但混合使用視網醇、祛痘產品和果酸只會帶來災難。索尼婭給出了減少發炎的建議：一次使用一種新產品，塗完之後再塗其它產品時稍等一分鐘，這樣能減緩產品之間的相互作用，並且最好使用無香味的產品。
