你可能沒在使用這些你應該使用的面膜
We’re no strangers to masking trends. From sheet masks to bubble masks to magnetic masks, we’ve tried — and love — them all. But there's one formulation that's been around for some time now and hasn't gotten the hype we think it deserves: the powder mask. Sure, it's not as Instagram-worthy or as easy to slap on as the sheet, but at the end of the day, it's about making your skin look its best — and powder delivers results.
我們對面膜並不陌生。從貼片式面膜到泡沫面膜再到磁石面膜，我們都試過——並且都愛。但到現在爲止已經有段時間了，有一種面膜配方卻沒有得到我們認爲它應該得到的吹捧：那就是膜粉型面膜。當然這種面膜並不像貼片式面膜一樣簡單易敷、也不值得在Instagram上髮狀態，但在一天結束時，我們想要的只是讓皮膚看起來最好——而膜粉型面膜的效果很棒。We asked Erica Parker, celebrity esthetician and educational director of Michael Todd Beauty, and dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, for some pro knowledge on why these mask mixes are worth making a mess for. Here's what we learned.
艾麗卡•帕卡既是一位名人美學家，又是Michael Todd Beauty的教育總監；Joshua Zeichner是位醫學博士同時也是皮膚學家。我們向這兩位專家請教了一些專業知識：爲什麼這些面膜混合物值得我們大費周章呢。下面就是我們學到的知識。Basically, when you reach for a liquid facial product, the ingredients inside are already activated. But the ingredients in a powder formula get activated when we choose to activate them — by turning on the faucet and adding water into the mix.
基本上來說，當你想找一份液體的面部保養品時，這些產品內的成分其實已經被激活了。但是粉狀的成分只有在我們選擇激活它時纔會被激活——通過打開水龍頭，在混合面膜裏面加入水就可以了。
"Someone with oily or acne-prone skin has the option to take that clay and mix it with another thing, like raw apple cider vinegar, instead of water," says Parker. But there is one downside, and that's the messiness factor. This isn't your in-and-out, pre-workday mask — but it is perfect for a weekend DIY day.
“油性皮膚或容易長痘痘的皮膚可以選擇這種泥面膜，並將其混入到生蘋果醋（而不是水）中，”帕克說道。但也有不利的一面，也就是混亂的因素。這並不是上班前臨時敷的面膜，但當週末時間充裕時，自己動手做面膜是再好不過的。While powder masks don't benefit one skin type over another by default, Dr. Zeichner says that if you have oily skin and are in the market for a fix in the form of a mask, powders may be your best option. This clay-based one balances your skin's oil production without drying it out — it's perfect for use as a spot treatment, too.
Zeichner醫生說，雖然膜粉型面膜本身只對一種膚質有效，但如果你是油性皮膚，並且正在尋找混合型面膜，那麼膜粉型麪粉是最佳選擇。泥面膜會平衡皮膚產出的油，同時也不會使皮膚變幹——而且還能用於皮膚的局部處理。
"Generally, powders stay stable longer than liquid emulsions, so less preservative is needed,” says Parker. Less preservatives equals longer shelf life. Save money with this double-duty mask — it soothes and exfoliates with good-for-you botanical ingredients.
“通常來說，粉末要比液體乳液更加穩定持久，所以防腐劑也就更少，”帕克說道。更少的防腐劑意味着更長的貨架壽命。省錢買這種兩用的面膜吧——它含有對人體有益的植物成分，還能夠去除角質。Want baby-soft skin and ingredients that won't cause a flare-up? This blue powder uses indigo to soothe inflammation and ever-so-gently exfoliate to reveal a brighter tone.
想要嬰兒般柔軟的肌膚，還想要不是曇花一現的營養產品？這種藍粉使用槐藍屬植物來舒緩炎症，同時還能去除角質，使你的皮膚更加透亮。
