韓妹嘅化妝必備品 Photo by Anna Baker/Unsplash By Nica Dobles from THREAD PH 一提起韓妝，很多人肯定會聯想起護膚。韓妹最令人印象深刻的，就是他們清透又有光澤的皮膚，而一切全靠10個（或更多）的日常護膚步驟。 對比起來，韓妝可能沒那麼流行，但同樣創新。韓妹一向奉行裸妝，所以他們少少的功夫已經非常有效果。 如果你對韓式妝容潮流一無所知，我們為你整理了4款新手必備單品，令你更容易入手！ Cushion 氣墊粉餅 BEAUTYMAKER 新一代零油光晶漾持妝氣墊粉餅SPF40 | Klairs 麻糬BB氣墊粉餅 韓國化妝品最出名之一就是bb cream，到近幾年已經進化成最新一代的cushion。基本上就是一塊海綿浸泡在粉底液裡面，再附贈一塊專用的粉撲以輕拍上面。 氣墊粉餅去旅行更是一流，不但便於攜帶，還可以隨時隨地補妝。有別於一般的粉底液或有色隔離霜，氣墊粉餅的配方令妝容更輕盈透薄。加上不少品牌都會加入補濕和防紫外線的成分，令氣墊粉餅完美集護膚與化妝於一身。 眉筆 Benefit Precisely, My Brow 立體塑形眉筆 | Jane Iredale 雙頭伸縮眉筆 眉毛亦是韓國人妝容重點，但化妝手法不像歐美女性般。相反，她們喜歡比較自然的眉形，只會輕輕幾筆填滿眉毛空隙。 為方便起見，可以選擇無需削刨的旋轉式軟眉筆，最好另一頭帶有螺旋形刷頭。跟著自己的原生眉髮淺淺描繪，再用螺旋頭輕力暈染即可。 唇液 Benefit Chachatint 果漾胭脂水 | VIDI VICI 漆彩瀅亮液體唇膏 同樣地，唇液亦是首選的唇部產品，質地非常適合打造年輕有活力的妝容。加分位：通常包裝和顏色一樣cute。 防曬霜 Celranico 水珠滿滿防曬霜 | Klairs 美肌粉藍防曬 韓國美妝中，最抗衰老的護膚品當屬防曬霜。真心，它不僅可以減少皮膚癌的機率，還可以保護你免受皺紋和色素沉澱的傷害。 韓國防曬霜成分輕盈，通常具有額外的護膚功效，如保濕和控油。 此外，這些防曬霜通常都是多功能，換句話說就是可以防止UVA（PA）和UVB（SPF）輻射。 READ MORE: Continue reading 4件一定要有嘅韓國化妝品

還有如何縮小毛孔的方法 Photo from Unsplash By Bea Punzalan from THREAD PH 不少人經常誤解他們的皮膚問題，並且在不完全知道實際情況下進行治療。 這可能會導致暗瘡爆發得更嚴重，而這明顯和我們的目標背道而馳。 充分了解自己的皮膚狀況肯定會有莫大幫助，因此請確保你第一次就能對症下藥（如果有任何疑問，最好先去看皮膚科醫生以獲得專業意見）。 今天我們就來對毛孔進行詳細拆解，包括功能（是的，實際上它們很有用）、特性以及如何縮小毛孔。 這樣你就可以準確地知道你究竟在對毛孔做什麼，並避免令皮膚問題惡化。 究竟毛孔怎麼運作？ 通常毛孔都位列「我最想從臉部剔除」的清單冠軍。 從收縮、縮小、模糊到清洗毛孔，我們的毛孔經歷了很多，一切的一切都是為了我們能縮小它們。 儘管我們很討厭現有的毛孔，但它們卻是獲得健康皮膚的「功臣」之一。 它們創造了天然保濕劑給我們的皮膚，令其保持健康、充滿光澤和水分。 你可能會問，那是如何做到的？ 毛孔是皮膚上微小毛囊的開口。 它們含有皮脂腺和發汗的汗腺，可以保護皮膚，並在你經歷油膩日子時滋潤它。 還記得每當你在炎熱天氣裡出汗時的感覺嗎？ 你可能非常討厭它，但它是你的皮膚排毒和冷卻的方式。 迷思粉碎：毛孔無法完全消除 殘忍地告訴你：毛孔不能從你的皮膚完全去除。 它們取決於你的遺傳因子和儲存的膠原蛋白等因素。 你可以模糊毛孔，或者盡量縮小它們，但它們永遠不會完全消失。 基本來講，如果你是油性皮膚，那麼你的毛孔很可能比正常大，以幫助你的皮膚產生皮脂。 而乾性肌膚的人通常會有較小的毛孔開口和較少的油脂分泌。 眾所周知，皮膚性質是不能改變的。 但是，你可以防止毛孔越變越大， 關鍵是要保持它們清爽，以免它們被堵塞，甚至更嚴重——發炎。 如何縮小毛孔 1. 雙重清潔 首先，每天要雙重清潔你的毛孔。 這個經典的清潔兩部曲可以清除白天因空氣污染產生的污垢和廢屑，並溫和地助你卸妝。毛孔堵塞是因為油和污垢形成混合物，最後會導致暗瘡或黑頭。 閱讀更多關於雙重清潔： 2. 膠原蛋白 隨著年齡增長，我們的膠原蛋白生成速度減慢，意味著我們的皮膚彈性會降低——換句話說，你的毛孔會擴大更多和看起來更大。 值得慶幸的是，你至少可以用含有膠原蛋白的護膚品部分解決問題，而這些可以促進膠原蛋白，使你的皮膚緊緻。 LUMBEBE ETANI 膠原蛋白保濕霜 | facematter Ray Lui By Facematter® C+ 膠原重塑面膜 | The Organic Pharmacy 抗氧化膠原再生面膜 3. 水楊酸 我發誓這種成分特別神奇，尤其因為我屬於超級油性皮膚， 每當我感覺瀕臨暗瘡爆發邊緣，水楊酸對我很有幫助——它有助去角質，可以消除帶走阻塞毛孔的死皮細胞，令細胞更新和更健康。 Living Nature 天然麥蘆卡茶樹袪暗瘡套裝 … Continue reading Beauty 101: 關於毛孔的那些事
