夏天頭髮狂出油？解救油膩髮絲，先戒掉這5個NG習慣

Original Content from THREAD TW Photo by Garon Piceli from Pexels 漫漫長夏，秋天怎麼還不來？悶熱的天氣，除了每日大汗臨頭，頭皮還瘋狂出油，真叫人懊惱不已！ 夏日高溫會使頭皮毛囊分泌過多皮脂，使頭髮看起來油膩、扁塌，而且毫無生氣。帶著一頭沒有蓬鬆感的髮絲跟男友約會，真是超尷尬！ 在這熱氣逼人的季節，要控制頭皮出油，讓頭髮保持蓬鬆柔順感，不妨先從改善生活習慣下手。只要避開以下5個NG習慣，即使豔陽高照，你還是可以維持女神形象，長髮飄飄走在大街上！ 每天洗頭 https://media.giphy.com/media/26FfkdM6UtnTnOn1C/giphy.gif 洗頭這件事，不少人都存有一個迷思：天天洗頭是好習慣。其實頭髮不需要每日洗，那會洗掉保護頭皮的油脂，使頭皮分泌更多皮脂滋潤頭皮，讓妳的頭髮越洗越油。 如太頻密洗臉會導致臉部狂出油的道理一樣，皮膚需保留一定的油脂，否則皮脂分泌會更旺盛。因此減少洗髮次數，改為2–3天洗一次即可。 過度護髮 https://media.giphy.com/media/l0IyjDGdSzYr9tBf2/giphy.gif 洗頭後進行護髮程序，可為頭髮注入營養，使頭髮不易斷裂、分岔和掉落。但過度使用護髮乳會給頭皮帶來負擔，有可能造成頭皮毛囊阻塞，導致頭皮大出油。 建議取適量的護髮素抹在髮尾處，然後徹底沖洗乾淨。 時時梳頭 保持頭髮整齊是基本禮儀，梳頭可刺激頭皮，讓髮絲更強韌光滑。不過頭皮若容易出油，反應減少梳髮次數，否則會刺激頭皮分泌更多油脂。 此外，梳完頭髮一定要記得清理梳子。梳子太髒或糾纏著一堆頭髮，在下次梳頭時會把污垢和油脂附在乾淨的頭髮上，這樣永遠都擺脫不了油頭宿命。 造型產品 https://media.giphy.com/media/G1R83Z6XL7b20/giphy.gif 含大量化學成分的髮膠、定型液等造型產品，容易造成毛囊阻塞，導致頭皮出油，減少使用美髮產品可減少頭皮負擔。 如果無法避免使用，記得在事後徹底清洗頭髮以及定期為頭皮去角質，保持頭皮健康。 刺激飲食 credit: Pexels 頭皮容易出油，有可能是不健康的飲食習慣所致。 建議儘量少吃一些油膩、辛辣的重口味食物，這些將刺激內分泌和皮脂腺，導致皮膚容易出油，包括頭皮部分。 https://media.giphy.com/media/l0HlAVIUS9raf1jwc/giphy.gif 你有其他改善頭皮出油的妙招嗎？留言告訴我們吧！ READ MORE: Continue reading 夏天頭髮狂出油？解救油膩髮絲，先戒掉這5個NG習慣

美容快遞：肌膚暗淡無光？恢復煥彩美肌的秘訣就在這裡！

Original Content from Thread SG 誰不想要健康、容光煥發的肌膚？ 然而，保持肌膚有光澤並不是件容易的事。 無論是長久以來積累所得或是一直存在，不少人都被黯淡膚色的問題困擾。 事實是，有各種因素都會導致皮膚暗沉。 好消息是，這個問題可以糾正。 所以，如果你想讓自己肌膚散發光彩，就看以下的tips吧！ 常飲水 雖然是老生常談，但依然值得強調。 如果你的H2O攝入量不足夠，皮膚會誠實告訴你。 不僅僅是當你發現皮膚失去自然光澤時才做，反而應每天堅持喝推薦的8至12杯水。 充足睡眠 睡眠不足是導致皮膚暗沉的另一個主要原因。 當身體疲勞時，皮膚得到較少適當的血液流量和/或所需氧氣。 這會導致發炎、黑眼圈和就像你一樣疲憊的肌膚。 花時間去角質 這是絕對不應跳過的一步。 去角質通過去除死皮細胞，令皮膚更有活力，從而擁有清新和健康的肌膚。 考慮氣候因素 暗沉肌膚的最大元兇就是環境侵害，如空氣污染、紫外線和雾霾等。我們所能做的就是保護好皮膚。 這些污染物會促進氧化並分解膠原蛋白，導致皮膚失去光澤。 因此，持續的護膚習慣至關重要。 最重要的是，每天都要用防曬霜，並在飲食中加入維他命C，令皮膚吸飽營養。 保持心境平和 壓力除了對我們內裡產生負面影響之外，也會浮出水面顯露在外。 時刻在緊張狀態會阻礙血液流動，令氧氣未能輸送到皮膚。 為了緩解緊張，可以嘗試在臉上冷敷，或者給自己一個快速而有效的按摩，特別注意你的太陽穴、下顎和眼眶。 常塗保濕霜 除了每天喝8到12杯水補充水分外，你的皮膚還需要一些額外的水分。 因此，請記住每天至少塗一次保濕霜，若想肌膚煥發光彩，塗兩次就最好不過了。 READ MORE: Continue reading 美容快遞：肌膚暗淡無光？恢復煥彩美肌的秘訣就在這裡！
