6. Using wrinkle-fighters in the wrong product

  6.使用正确的去皱产品

  It’s OK to use products with anti-aging agents, such as retinol, peptides and antioxidants, to improve the skin’s appearance, but not in a cleanser. It’s a money-waster.

  使用含有抗衰老物质(如视黄醇、肽和抗氧化剂)的化妆品来提高皮肤质量无可厚非,但不要浪费钱去使用清洁品。

  “Many cleansers have anti-aging ingredients, but they’re typically not in high enough concentrations or in contact with your skin long enough to provide significant results,” says Dee Ann Glaser, M.D, professor of dermatology at St. Louis University.

  医学博士、圣路易斯大学皮肤学迪·安·格拉瑟教授说:“许多清洁品都有抗衰老的配方,但它们往往含量不够高,与肌肤接触时间也不够长,根本达不到去皱目的。”

  Skin solution: Use a plain, gentle cleanser, like Neutrogena Night Calming Nourishing Cream Cleanser. It’ll probably cost less than one with wrinkle-smoothing ingredients. Then slather on an anti-aging lotion, serum or cream, which stays on skin long enough to penetrate and yield results.

  皮肤保养大法:使用最普通的温和清洁品,如露得清晚间营养滋润洁面乳,它比包含去皱成分的同类产品更便宜。洗完脸之后涂上抗衰老的乳液,保持一段时间使得其能深入皮肤起作用。

  7. Stressing out 24/7

  7.适当减压放松

  If you’re chronically worried (or sleep deprived), your body is pumping out stress hormones non-stop.

  如果一直胡思乱想、担心这担心那的话,你的身体会不停地分泌压力荷尔蒙。

  “Cortisol, the major stress hormone, breaks down collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles and causes inflammation,” says Amy Wechsler, M.D., a New York City-based dermatologist and psychiatrist.

  医学博士、定居纽约的皮肤科和精神病科医生艾米·韦克斯勒说:“皮质醇是最主要的压力荷尔蒙,它会破坏胶原蛋白,造成皮肤松弛和炎症。”

  Also, when your body is in a fight-or-flight state, most nutrients and oxygen go to the major organs, not skin. And chronic stress and anxiety can lead to frown lines and a furrowed brow.

  而且,当你的身体处于紧张状态时,大多数营养和氧气将会进入主要器官而不是皮肤。长期压力和焦虑可能导致深皱纹,特别是眉头皱纹。

  Skin solution: Figure out what helps you relax – a chick flick, coffee with a friend, yoga class – and do it regularly.

  皮肤保养大法:找出一种能帮你放松的方法——看言情电影、与老友喝一杯咖啡、上瑜伽课——而且要经常定期这么做。

  Exercise is another great stress-reliever: It boosts blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin and giving your complexion a rosy glow.

  做运动也是一个很好的减压方式:运动能加速血液流动,将氧气和养分输送到皮肤,让你的面容看起来光彩照人。

  If all else fails, deep breathing and quiet time can help.

  如果以上方式都在你身上行不通的话,静静地深呼吸也可以起作用。
