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.
在护理皮肤方面，你可不想一大早就出错，对吧？当然是。但有些事可能正在损坏肌肤而你甚至都没察觉，这个事实是你需要知道的。
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.
错误一：过度清洁（对于敏感肌肤来说）。如果早晨洗完脸后，你的皮肤开始泛红出现斑点，那你就不要再抹天然保护油了。“当清洗过度时，我们的皮肤就好像被搓破了一样，但也有可能是皮肤受到了刺激、开始脱皮、发炎。”皮肤专家热尔维斯•格斯特纳博士说道。解决方法是什么呢？跳过用洗面奶洗去一夜之间积累的尘土、死皮和细菌这一步骤，直接用清水或爽肤水洗脸即可。
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.
错误二：总是使用同一条毛巾。凯莉•A•雷诺兹博士说道毛巾是洗脸过程中不可或缺的一部分，每天都需要清洗。她是亚利桑那大学环境健康科学部的一名教授。“使用过程中，毛巾会变得湿透，并黏附上很多脏东西，”她说道。用毛巾擦洗肌肤时，化妆品污渍或死皮细胞会慢慢积累在毛巾上。这时的毛巾并非只有一点点潮湿，而是湿漉漉的，因而需要更长的时间才会变干。
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.
错误三：护肤步骤不对。据纽约市皮肤专家珍妮弗•麦格雷戈博士所述，护肤产品的使用顺序是有正确步骤的，即：洗完脸后，先用精华素（这样就能充分吸收），然后使用防晒霜、保湿霜，最后再涂眼霜。
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.
错误四：使用太多产品。护肤品有很多滋润肌肤的成分，但是如果一次性涂抹太多反而会毁了自己。“在脸上涂太多的活性滋润产品往往会导致泛红、发炎和脱皮，”圣莫妮卡，哈里发和皮肤专家索尼娅•巴特拉博士说道。虽然抗氧化剂混合使用时效果最好这是事实（维他命C和维他命E混合使用简直无敌了），但混合使用视网醇、祛痘产品和果酸只会带来灾难。索尼娅给出了减少发炎的建议：一次使用一种新产品，涂完之后再涂其它产品时稍等一分钟，这样能减缓产品之间的相互作用，并且最好使用无香味的产品。
