we were talking to annie z. yesterday... and she was telling us all about how to care for your skin. well, i had a lot of questions so i asked her about skin care.... and she was saying that women will start appearing much older after age 35 if we don't start caring for our health/skin after 25.... this is quite scary. i'm really doing nothing to care for my skin (didn't see a need)... i suppose um... praise God, i haven't passed 25 much yet (oiy! what happened to my englilish today...). anyways... so i suppose i should start doing some skin care work. oiy.

which are?
ohhh.... ok, annie said the two most important thing is : 1) 保濕 2) 防曬. she said to do the first one depends on your skin type. you'd either just apply toner after you wash your face everyday and add moisturizer afterwards. or if your skin doesn't absorb moisturizer well, you might want to try cream. and if your face is generally dry, you might want to use 面膜 once a week to get your skin back to healthy again. as for the second one, she recommends putting on sun block not more than 35 SPF everyday (take it off at night) because the sun in California is very damaging to our skin, the UV will penetrate even through the buildings. so she's gonna give us a sample cream that she uses on wednesday...
yeah, i never put on sun block unless i'm out in the sun for half a day..... that's pretty bad. all those saturday morning runs... oiy. annie's the guru, just call her if you have questions bah.
hahaha thanks ann. your skin is very nice though.
uv penetrates through buildings??
if you go shop for moisturizers or 面膜's , let me know. 'cus i don't know which ones or which brands to purchase...
防曬嘛, 我倒是很讚同的. 因為加州的陽光的確不一般. 至於保濕, 我就有所保留了. 不知道為什麼, 我總有個感覺, 神造我們的皮膚是非常efficient的. 有各種的調節功能. 就算水分有一定的流失, 皮膚下面就是豐富的毛細血管和淋巴組織, 應該會很快補上的. 若是我們經常人為加上許多東西給皮膚, 反而會影響皮膚的調節功能以及本身內環境的平衡點. 因為皮膚會漸漸習慣並且倚賴外來的補充, 使自我的調節效率降低. 我自己雖然不是女生, 可是也被迫用過保濕產品, 因為從前公司要我們先試用. 覺得當時的確效果不錯, 可過後還一樣. 而且不同皮膚也要用不同的配方. 我會覺得是marketing的一個策略而已. 現在很多什麼建康產品也是同一個道理, 就算沒有, 只要正常均衡地吃飯, 睡眠充足, 多喝水, 應該不需要花什麼保濕的錢. 而且, 皮膚好壞絕大部分取決於遺傳. if you carry the gene, no matter what your skin is good. 以你的情形看, 我就覺得你根本不需要擔心.
u and et always sound so smart when u guys talk "scientific". i always think u guys should be bio teachers .. so, does uv penetrates buildings??
hahahahaha...finally...
我想我也說點吧....其實我早就提醒過 Ann 及 Molly 要注意保養一點皮膚，雖然他們的皮膚都不錯。(但是他們都不理我！哈)可惜莫媽媽和楊媽媽也沒太加壓力給他們。:)
看來下次我們也教點這個吧。（一邊不要太沒常識而不注意，一邊也別太緊張而落入化妝品叢林而不能自拔。）
