眼霜没用？甜食致痘？怎么护肤才能不被皮肤讨厌？
护肤现在已经成了一项全民事业。
先不说有小学生已经上课敷面膜了，
连嫌犯在被捕的时候都可能敷着面膜。
在这个看脸的时代，
饭可以少吃、衣服可以少买，
但这张老脸不能罢工。
然鹅，
对于一个这么重要的事业，
我们中的绝大部分人还知之甚少、
到处交智商税、
花了一大笔钱也没弄出个什么效果。
更不要说有些男性友人还停留在
“白天抹点雪花膏、晚上用点洗面奶”
的粗放型社会状态。
这样不行！
我们找来了中外达人
总结出的37条护肤基础，
赶紧来扫盲吧：

01
黄瓜不能消眼部水肿，它们只能帮你暂时补水，你用浸了水的布冷敷也能有同样效果。
Cucumbers don't help reduce puffiness around the eyes. They just hydrate skin temporarily. The same results can be obtained from a cold compress.
02
眼霜不能祛眼袋，再贵的也不行。
Eye cream can't remove your eye bags, no matter how expensive it is.

03
只要不过敏，面部产品都可以用在眼部，不需要单独买眼霜。
As long as you don't get allergic, anything you use on your face can be used around your eyes. You don't really need to buy eye cream.
04
高SPF防护值的防晒霜并不会增加皮肤的负担。
Higher SPF does not put your skin under greater stress.

05
叠加使用多个防晒产品不会增强效果，效果只取决于SPF最高的那一个。
Layering several products with SPF ratings does not increase protection. You are only protected to the extent of the higher rating of one product.
06
冬天也有紫外线，也需要防晒。
There are UVA and UVB even during the winter, so you still need sunscreen.
07
绝大多数防晒产品，通过正常洁面就能洗掉，不需要卸妆。
Most sunscreen can be removed through normal face-cleaning. There's no need for makeup remover.
08
矿物油并不会伤害你的皮肤，它们能有效地去除你皮肤上的多余油脂。
Mineral oil is not bad for your skin. It is a very effective ingredient in helping remove excess oil from the skin.

09
护肤品里的防腐剂并不是坏东西，它们能抑制细菌、真菌和其他有机物的生长。
Preservatives in skin care products are not bad. They help prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other organisms.

10
护肤品的选择与年龄、性别无关，只与你的诉求和钱包有关。
Your choice of skin care products has nothing to do with your age or gender. You only need to base them on your needs and financial condition.
11
糖份、巧克力和油腻食物会刺激你长痘，而辛辣食物不会。
Sugar, chocolate, and greasy foods cause acne. Spicy food does not.

12
红色痘印源于炎症未消退，一般可以自然消退。
Red acne marks are due to inflammation. They usually disappear naturally.
13
棕色痘印源于色素沉着，用美白类的护肤产品可以解决。
Brown acne marks are due to pigmentation. You can use skin care products with whitening ability to get rid of them.
14
天然和有机的产品并不一定更好。人造化合物实际上可以和天然成分一样、甚至比天然成分更有效。
Natural and organic products are not always better. Synthetic compounds can actually be identical to those found in nature and be more effective.

15
任何形式的晒黑都与疤痕无异，并没有所谓的健康、安全的晒黑。最安全的美黑方式只有美黑产品。
Any tan is a scar, and there is no such thing as a healthy, safe tan. Self-tanners are the safest way to obtain tanned skin.
16
抗老护肤品只是延后皱纹出现的时间，不能让老脸变年轻。
Anti-aging products only postpone the appearance of the lines. They don't make old faces grow younger.
17
抗氧化成分对于防止皮肤受损是很重要的，但它们并不能消除皱纹。
Antioxidants are essential in helping prevent skin damage, but they cannot make wrinkles go away.

18
护肤产品含酒精并不一定是坏事。有些含酒精的混合物能起到润肤的作用、减缓皮肤水分的流失。
Alcohol in skin care products is not always bad. Some compounds that contain alcohol can act as emollients, which can decrease the skin’s water loss.
19
护肤品不能祛痘坑和疤痕，多贵的都不行。
Skin care products cannot remove pox pits or scars, no matter how expensive.
20
护肤品也不能祛妊娠纹(或生长纹），多贵的都不行。
Skin care products cannot remove stretch marks, no matter how expensive.

21
大部分护肤品会在12个月内丧失大部分功效，所以最好在1年内把一个产品用完。
Most skin care products lose a great deal of their potency within 12 months. It is best to use the entire contents within one year.
22
睡好觉。睡眠不足会给皮肤造成负担、让皮肤水肿、延缓胶原蛋白的自然合成。
Sleep well. Inadequate sleep can cause stress, and skin puffiness and can slow the natural development of collagen.
23
口服美白产品、抗氧化产品、胶原蛋白都没用。好好吃饭。
There's no point in eating whitening products, antioxidants, or collagen. Have good meals.

24
皮肤不需要“排毒”。
Your skin does not need detoxing.
25
面膜只有两个功能：补水和清洁。
Masks can only do 2 things: moisturizing and cleansing.
26
面膜一周只需1-2次。
You only need masks once or twice a week.

27
搓得太用力或者用太多祛角质产品会去除皮肤的防护油、加速衰老、让皮肤变得更敏感。
Too much scrubbing or too many abrasive products can remove protective oils and contribute to aging, irritated skin.
28
VC可以白天使用，可以提升防晒霜的防晒效果。
You can use vitamin C during the day. It can enhance the blocking capacity of your sunscreen.

29
维生素A可能是世上最重要的护肤成分，没有之一。它是极少数——甚至唯一的——被超过50年的客观、科学的研究所支持的有效成分。
Vitamin A is arguably the most important skincare ingredient, bar none. It is one of the few—if not the only—ingredient backed by more than 50 years of objective, scientific research supporting its efficacy.
30
VA类产品应该在晚上使用，不过不用关灯。
Ingredients from the vitamin A family should be used during the night. But you can leave your lights on.
31
多种抗氧化成分混合效果更好。买抗氧化成分种类较多的产品。
A cocktail of antioxidants provides better results than just one. Seek products containing a plethora of antioxidants.

32
脸部运动并不能通过锻炼面部肌肉来让你更年轻。
Facial exercises do not tone facial muscles and make a person appear younger.
33
使用防晒霜并不能防止你晒黑。防晒有助于预防皮肤癌的发生。如果你在白天不补涂防晒霜，其提供的SPF保护会越来越低。
Using sun protection will not stop you from getting a tan. Sun protection helps to prevent the appearance of skin cancer. If you don’t reapply sunscreen during the day, the SPF protection your sunscreen initially offered will get lower and lower.

34
润肤霜是油性皮肤最好的朋友，不使用它可能弊大于利。
Moisturizer is your oily skin’s best friend, and skipping it could be doing more harm than good.
35
吸烟和过量饮酒会损害皮肤，加速衰老过程。
Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can damage your skin and accelerate the aging process.
36
去除死皮细胞、淡化痤疮疤痕和瑕疵的最简单方法之一就是在你的护肤品中加入去角质成分（如水杨酸）。
One of the easiest ways to get rid of those dead skin cells, and fade out acne scars and blemishes is to incorporate an exfoliant into your skincare, salicylic acid for example.

37
保证充足的睡眠:每晚保证7-9小时的高质量睡眠，可以让你的皮肤再生和自我修复。
Get enough sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin to regenerate and repair.
