明明就卸得很乾淨啊！ credit: Pexels 原文轉載自 sunnyday for THREAD TW 懂得保養的人都知道，臉部清潔非常重要！化妝後忘了卸妝，這對肌膚來說絕對是一場災難，事後用再高級的保養品、每天瘋狂敷面膜也於事無補。 戶外污濁的空氣，臉上的油脂、汗水和細菌，加上殘留在臉上的化妝品，這些都是導致毛孔阻塞的罪魁禍首，不但會滋生粉刺、黑頭和痘痘，嚴重的話還會造成皮膚病。 卸妝清潔是光滑肌膚的關鍵，一旦偷懶後果可是不堪設想。不想讓辛辛苦苦保養的肌膚因忘了卸妝變成「花面貓」，記得要避免以下5個卸妝習慣！ https://media.giphy.com/media/T9gaRtx86s6zK/giphy.gif 1. 用力地卸妝 怕卸妝不乾淨用力地搓臉？拿起卸妝用品隨便搓幾下？ 2. 同一張卸妝棉 很多人都習慣性用同一張化妝棉卸完整張臉，但其實這是不對的。 不管你從臉部還是眼部開始卸妝，都會把最初卸掉的化妝品轉移到下一個，這不但無法有效地把臉上的彩妝全卸掉，還可能造成毛孔阻塞或皮膚發炎。建議用兩張或以上的化妝棉，直到沒有化妝品殘留在臉上為止。 3. 出門就要卸妝 擦防曬是出門前的指定動作，從戶外回家後，該不該卸妝呢？ 如果只是擦一般的防曬用品、沒有帶妝的情況下，用洗臉乳或洗臉霜把臉洗乾淨就好。有時候不適當的卸妝會造成過度清潔，反而會導致皮膚乾燥。 4. 錯誤的卸妝產品 挑錯卸妝產品也會導致皮膚問題，像油性皮膚使用卸妝油後可能會有閉鎖性粉刺或痘痘問題。 如果不了解自己的膚質，請教專業的皮膚科醫師吧！唯有買對適合自己膚質的卸妝品才不會造成日後的不適。 5. 卸完妝就算了 下班後累到癱瘓，回到家只想躺著不動。 但是，再累也要卸妝啊！而且卸完妝後一定要用臉部清潔用品，確保臉上的髒污全都掰掰後，再進行後續日常保養程序。 想要完美無瑕的肌膚，先從卸妝清潔開始吧！ 注：圖片取自網絡 READ MORE: Continue reading 乖乖卸妝，臉上還是長了一堆粉刺！破解卸妝5大迷思
