毛孔粗大成因解析｜點樣由根源改善

毛孔粗大係天生?定係後天造成? 照鏡見到毛孔粗大,好多人第一時間諗到係「天生皮膚差」,但其實毛孔外觀受多個因素影響,先天體質只係其中一個部分。搞清楚成因,先可以揀啱改善方向,而唔係盲目試晒市面上所有話「收毛孔」嘅產品。刊登喺 British Journal of Dermatology 嘅 Roh 等人（2006年）研究發現，面部毛孔大小同皮脂分泌量之間有明顯正相關，皮脂輸出量愈高，毛孔外觀就愈明顯，呢個亦解釋咗點解毛孔粗大多數出現喺鼻翼同兩頰中間呢啲皮脂分泌較旺盛嘅位置。 When you notice enlarged pores in the mirror, it's easy to assume it's simply "bad genetics." But pore appearance is actually...

暗瘡印點淡化｜色素沉澱同凹凸洞分別處理

暗瘡印同暗瘡洞,其實唔係同一回事 好多人一見到暗瘡走咗之後留低嘅印,就統稱做「疤痕」,但其實色素沉澱(暗瘡印)同凹凸疤痕(暗瘡洞)係兩種完全唔同嘅狀況,處理方向亦都唔一樣。搞錯方向去護理,結果往往就係花咗時間都見唔到明顯改善。根據刊登喺 Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology（2024年）嘅全球流行病學研究，暗瘡嘅全球盛行率高達20.5%，青少年及年輕成年人（16-24歲）更高達28.3%，反映幾乎每5人就有1人受暗瘡困擾，亦令暗瘡印、凹凸洞成為好多人共同面對嘅護膚課題。 Many people lump every post-acne mark together as a "scar," but pigmentation (post-acne marks) and textured scarring (indented marks) are actually...

去角質頻率點揀先啱｜過度去角質嘅警號

去角質幾耐一次先啱?次數太多定太少都唔理想 去角質嘅重要性大家都聽過,但「應該幾耐做一次」呢個問題,反而好少人真正搞清楚。去得太密,皮膚可能會出現不適;去得太疏,又未必達到預期效果。搵到啱自己嘅頻率,先係去角質嘅重點。美國皮膚科學會（American Academy of Dermatology）指出，過度去角質（尤其係累積性嘅化學去角質）係皮膚屏障受損嘅其中一個最容易被低估嘅成因，亦係求診皮膚科醫生嘅常見反應性肌膚問題之一。 Everyone knows exfoliation matters, but "how often should I do it" is a question few people actually pin down. Do it too frequently and skin...

健身後護膚點做｜運動流汗後護理貼士

健身完汗流浹背,護膚步驟你有冇跳過? 好多人健身完最緊要係沖涼換衫,護膚步驟就隨便帶過甚至完全跳過。但汗水、油脂同健身室環境嘅接觸,其實對皮膚嘅刺激唔少於一整日戶外活動,護理做得唔夠,毛孔堵塞、暗瘡爆發都可能隨之而來。皮膚科研究指出，「acne mechanica」（運動性暗瘡）主要由汗水、皮脂同運動裝備／頭盔嘅摩擦、悶焗共同造成——汗水本身唔會直接致暗瘡，但長時間同油脂、死皮細胞混合並困喺毛孔入面，會令暗瘡菌容易滋生，呢個亦係點解運動後盡快清潔咁重要。 After a workout, most people prioritize showering and changing clothes, often rushing through — or skipping entirely — their skincare steps. But sweat, oil, and contact with...

冷氣房乾燥急救｜辦公室保濕小物推介

成日坐喺冷氣房,皮膚點解越嚟越乾? 返工成日坐喺冷氣房,好多人下午就開始覺得皮膚繃緊、甚至起皮脫屑,明明有做早晚護膚,點解皮膚仍然咁乾?其實冷氣環境本身就會加速皮膚水分流失,單靠早晚護膚未必足夠應付一整日嘅乾燥挑戰。 Sitting in an air-conditioned office all day, many people start feeling tightness or even flaking by the afternoon — even with a proper morning and evening routine, skin...

男士護膚入門｜簡單3步驟開始護膚

想開始護膚,但唔知由邊度入手? 越嚟越多男士都意識到護膚嘅重要性,但一諗到要買一大堆產品、記住複雜步驟,好多人就打退堂鼓。其實男士護膚入門唔需要複雜,掌握簡單3步驟,已經足夠建立一套穩定嘅基礎護理習慣。根據 Int. J. Women's Dermatology 一項跨57項研究嘅文獻回顧，男性喺青春期後皮脂分泌量約為女性嘅兩倍，加上雄激素令皮膚厚度增加約25%，呢啲生理差異解釋咗點解男士皮膚容易出油、毛孔亦相對明顯。 More and more men are realizing skincare matters, but the thought of buying a shelf full of products and memorizing complicated steps is...
