潔淨及爽膚：打造健康肌膚的第一步

潔淨

產品功效：最理想的男士潔面啫喱應具有溫和性質，同時能徹底清除面部污垢、彩妝和多餘油脂，令肌膚清爽乾淨，加倍吸收隨後的護理及保濕產品。

使用貼士：建議使用溫水潔淨肌膚，應在洗手盆洗面，並避免在沐浴時洗面，可獲得更理想的效果。洗面前先洗淨雙手，以乾淨的指尖向上打圈塗上潔面啫喱。除非有必要，否則不需要使用洗面巾或洗面刷（只應使用由極為溫和物料製造的工具）

爽膚水

產品功效：爽膚水能滋養任何肌膚！優質配方的爽膚水配方可降低皮膚發炎的狀況，輕柔的保濕因子能鎖緊肌膚水份，更可以從肌膚表面清除彩妝的殘留痕跡。爽膚水也具備抗氧化和抗刺激的保護作用。

使用貼士：清潔面部後，使用全棉化妝棉塗上爽膚水輕輕抹於潔淨的面上。Kiehl's爽膚水是高度濃縮的精華，因此不需要將化妝棉浸濕，只需取適量爽膚水即可用於全面。

保濕測試

我的肌膚有充足水份嗎？

缺水肌膚是指肌膚流失水份，這與乾燥肌膚不同，乾燥肌膚代表肌膚製造的油脂不足。您可以在家中進行這個簡單的測試，便能知道您的肌膚是否缺水。

• 站在鏡子前張大嘴巴微笑，您有發現從鼻子到雙頰摺起許多幼紋嗎？
• 現在放鬆您的面部肌肉，將食指水平放在雙頰指向鼻子，用食指將肌膚輕輕向上拉。您在拉起的肌膚上有發現許多如皺紋一樣的幼紋嗎？

如果以上兩個簡單測試的答案是「對」的話，那麼您的肌膚很可能處於缺水狀態。脫皮和膚色暗啞是其他缺水肌膚的徵狀。

Dr. Geyer問與答

面部皺紋的成因是甚麼？

肌膚衰老可分為先天（大多數和遺傳以及生理有關）和後天（由紫外線、污染及壓力形成，可預防而且可修復）。由於缺乏彈力蛋白和骨膠原，因此肌膚失去彈性，容易出現色斑，肌膚亦會變得暗啞缺水，最後形成幼紋及皺紋。法令紋和額頭的皺紋會令眼周的皺紋會越來越明顯。

有甚麼方法可以有效減淡眼周肌膚的幼紋和皺紋？

眼周肌膚比其他部位更幼嫩敏感，為避免刺激肌膚，建議使用專為眼周幼嫩肌膚而設的產品。不過，眼周部位通常最先出現衰老痕跡，因此您需要選擇高效但溫和的產品。

我建議在早上使用維他命C抗衰老精華，然後再塗上日間保濕乳液。另外，如果您的最大問題是眼部浮腫，那麼建議可以視乎需要使用男士全效眼霜（含有青瓜及咖啡因成分）或牛油果眼霜（含有牛油果油及乳木果油成分）。

我應該在幾歲開始做防曬保護？

越早做好防曬保護越好。我建議所有病人在20-30歲（無論是否有色斑）時開始使用具抗氧化功效的精華素、晚霜和防曬霜，以預防色班及其他初老現象的出現。防曬保護固然重要，但其他環境因素也逐漸成為肌膚衰老的元凶，例如壓力、煙草、污染等等，因此我們需要抗老產品，以防止肌膚內自由基對DNA的侵害。具有抗氧化功效的豐潤保濕乳和潔面啫喱是個不錯的選擇，例如Kiehl's海源進化系列，這個系列糅合了抗氧化物和Abyssine，這種存活分子能保護肌膚不受環境侵害。Kiehl's醫學強效配方系列的回齡高效去斑護理有助減淡曬斑，持續使用更可消除曬斑。

防曬保護

防曬是抗衰老護理中最重要的一步，正確的防曬護理能有效抵禦高達90% of skin aging, including lines and wrinkles, uneven texture and tone, and breakdown of collagen and elastin. It is also your primary defense against developing unwanted brown spots.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

Sunscreens should offer both UVB and UVA protection in order to be truly effective, so look for "broad–spectrum" protection. Also look for oil–free, non–comedogenic formulas to avoid clogging facial pores.

APPLICATION TIPS:

First and most importantly, you should apply sunscreen every day as part of your anti–wrinkle, anti–aging skin care regimen. After you cleanse, tone and moisturize, apply a broad–spectrum sunscreen liberally to dry skin 15–30 minutes before sun exposure. Don't skimp — use a tablespoon of sunscreen to cover the face and neck, and use about one ounce (a full shot glass) to cover the entire body. Be sure to cover the hairline. Additional serums and/or makeup can be applied on top of your sunscreen.

Reapply your sunscreen if you're outside more than three to four hours, or after swimming or sweating. In addition to the daily use of an appropriate sunscreen, efforts should be made to wear sun protective clothing when outdoors and limit extended sun exposure during peak mid–day hours when UV rays are most intense.

REMEMBER:

Everyone is at risk of sun damage. Just because your skin does not burn does not mean that you do not need sunscreen. Any alteration in the color of the skin, including a suntan, indicates that damage has already occurred. Do not be fooled by cloudy skies. Although sun exposure is reduced on a cloudy day (especially if it is a rainy day), clouds block only as much as 20%的紫外線。

健康肌膚基礎護理

After cleansing the skin, apply Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate over the entire face twice daily (avoiding the eye area). It can be used alone or layered under your usual moisturizer.

Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+ is a lightweight, daily facial fluid that provides skin with UVA and UVB broad-spectrum protection. This oil and fragrance-free formula glides on smoothly and evenly for a weightless, matte finish. Key formula benefits include:

• Provides powerful, long-lasting sun protection against UVA and UVB rays
• Helps prevent pigmentation irregularities (dark spots and freckles), wrinkles, and the breakdown of skin's collagen and elastin
• Protects sensitive skin from the stretching of small blood vessels, which reddens skin due to overexposure of the sun
• Oil-free, water-resistant, ultra-light fluid texture is non-comedogenic (won't clog pores), with an invisible, matte finish

Super Fluid UV Defense 50+ should be layered on top of any other treatment or moisturizer as the last step before any makeup application. Apply liberally and cover all exposed areas, including the face, neck and decollete.

Leading dermatologists have long recommended the daily use of sun protection as the most important method of protecting the skin against the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays, thereby "slowing down" the visible signs of skin aging. In fact, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 90%的肌膚衰老現象。
