五大消暑美白水果
夏天陽氣旺盛,養生之道在於消暑,不少人更着重防曬,進行戶外活動除了穿著防曬衣物、塗抹防曬霜,亦可靠食物進行內在美白療程,多進食含豐富維他命C的食物,例如奇異果、士多啤梨、番石榴、車厘子及木瓜等,有助預防黑斑形成及淡化黑色素。水果宜新鮮即切即食,因切後水果的維他命C與空氣接觸後會氧化而失去功效。
奇異果 — 性寒,有清熱生津、健脾、利尿作用,有助紓緩無胃口、消化不良、欲吐、痔瘡等症狀。注意女士脾胃虛寒容易腹瀉、有寒性痛經不宜多服。
士多啤梨 — 性寒,具消暑解熱、生津止渴、利咽潤肺及健脾胃功效。士多啤梨同時含有大量果膠及纖維,亦有暢便功效。但注意脾胃虛寒者勿吃。
番石榴 — 又名芭樂,性熱,具止瀉止痢功效,尤其適合容易反覆腹瀉、風寒濕痛者、高血壓及胃酸過多者食用;有收斂止瀉功效,便秘者不宜進食。由於性熱,多吃容易上火。
車厘子 — 又名櫻桃,性熱,具益氣健脾、祛風濕的功效,適合氣血虛弱、消化不良人士食用,但由於屬性溫熱,食用份量不宜過多,糖尿病患者不宜。
木瓜 — 性平,能健脾胃、幫助消化、消暑解渴,適合脾胃虛弱、容易胃脹不適人士服用,有助紓緩食慾下降、消化不良、胃部不適、產婦乳汁不多等症狀。注意孕婦不宜食用。

Five fruits to clear summer-heat and brighten complexion
During summer, the yang energy is exceptionally strong, and many people tend to focus on clearing the summer-heat and sun protection measures during this season.
Besides wearing sun protective clothing and putting on sunscreen, we can also eat ingredients that can help restore the radiance of our complexion. Consume foods that are high in vitamin C such as kiwi, strawberry, guava, cherry, and papaya to prevent dark spots from forming and reduce melanin.
Once we have the fresh fruits sliced, it is best to consume them as soon as possible, as the vitamin C oxidizes when exposed to air, losing its health benefits.
Kiwis - cold in nature and can clear heat and promote fluid production, strengthen the spleen, and promote diuresis. It alleviates lack of appetite, indigestion, nausea, and hemorrhoids. Note that it is not suitable for ladies with asthenic spleen and stomach, prone to diarrhea and has cold type menstrual pain.
Strawberry - cold in nature, can relieve summer heat, promote diuresis and relieve thirst, relieve sore throat and moisten the lungs, as well as strengthen the spleen and stomach. Strawberries are also high in fibre and pectin and can help to relieve constipation. Note that those with asthenic cold spleen and stomach should avoid strawberries.
Guava - hot in nature, can help to relieve diarrhea, so it is suitable for those with chronic diarrhea, chronic pain due to cold wind and dampness, high blood pressure, and gastric hyperacidity. It is not suitable for those with constipation. Due to its hot nature, over-consumption can lead to excessive heat in the body.
Cherry - hot in nature, and can strengthen qi and stomach, dispel wind dampness. They are suitable for those with asthenic qi and blood, and those with indigestion. As they are warm in nature, avoid having too much and it is not suitable for those with diabetes.

【暗瘡教室】切忌擠石頭瘡以免進一步發炎
⭐女生月經前後特別易爆石頭瘡
⭐因為氣血虛弱陰陽不調
#星期一踢走BlueMonday
解決頑固石頭瘡
暗瘡為不少人帶來煩惱,除了影響外表,遇上頑固的石頭瘡更會紅熱腫痛,石頭瘡屬於聚合性痤瘡,比一般暗瘡體積為大,按下去較硬身而且有可能出現紅腫疼痛,因為閉口無法擠出膿頭,消退時間比較長。
中醫理論認為石頭瘡與氣血虛弱有關,氣血循環欠佳令體內產生瘀血,別以為生暗瘡因為熱氣引起於是飲涼茶解決,寒涼之物會令陽氣內伏,反而令問題惡化,需要做的是活血化瘀再調補氣血使膿頭托出,繼而清熱解毒。
想預防石頭瘡形成,還是要養成健康生活習慣,作息定時,避免熬夜;早晚洗面,記得徹底卸掉化妝及防曬霜;避免進食生冷食物以免寒氣及濕氣在體內形成;進行適量運動,改善身體氣血運行,運動排汗亦有助推出皮膚的深層污垢。
紓緩石頭瘡茶療
功效:涼血消腫,紓緩石頭瘡症狀。
材料:赤芍9克、生地12克、黃芪9克
做法:材料洗淨,鍋內加入約800毫升水,加入所有材料,武火煮滾轉文火煮40分鐘。建議一星期飲用2-3天,連續兩星期為一個療程。

Dealing with the stubborn cystic acne
People view acne as a nuisance because acne affects a person’s appearance. Those with the more stubborn cystic acne might even experience pain and swelling. Cystic acne is a type of acne conglobate and is larger as compared to regular ones.
When a person presses on a cystic acne, he or she can feel its hardness. The acne might also swell and cause pain. Since there are no openings on the acne, the person cannot squeeze the pus out. This also means it will take longer for the acne to go away.
The Chinese Medicine theories believe cystic acne is related to the weakness in the blood and qi, as the lack of circulation in the qi and blood would cause blood stasis. It is crucial to understand that heat accumulated in the body is not the cause of cystic acne. Hence, drinking herbal tea would not relieve the condition. In fact, it might further aggravate the skin problem as foods and drinks that are cool and cold in nature can disturb the yang energy. It is important to invigorate the blood and clear the stasis first before replenishing the qi and the blood. By doing so can encourage the formation of the opening and subsequently the removal of the pus.
To prevent cystic acne from forming, we still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Keep your biological clock on track and avoid sleeping late. Cleanse our face every morning and evening, and remember to remove makeup and sunscreen thoroughly. Avoid eating raw and cold foods to prevent cold and damp air from accumulating in the body. Exercise regularly to improve the circulation of the qi and blood. Sweating can also flush out the dirt accumulated on the skin.

【盛夏出遊】我要同陽光玩遊戲
⭐防曬功夫不能懶
⭐即使想曬黑也要預防曬傷
#星期一踢走BlueMonday
夏日防曬解密
太陽在夏天特別熱情奔放,受猛烈的陽光照射除了皮膚曬黑問題,紫外線更會加速皮膚老化,所以夏天護膚首重防曬!防曬方法有兩大類:一、塗沫防曬霜;二、穿著防曬衣物,兩類產品都有不少「密碼」,你都看得懂嗎?
關於防曬霜的「密碼」:
☀️UVA及UVB
陽光中的兩種紫外線,UVA會讓肌膚老化及曬黑,造成皺紋;UVB容易造成肌膚曬紅、曬傷。
☀️SPF
Sun Protection Factor的簡稱,是產品對抗UVB紫外線的防護指數,將曬傷時間延後,一般人在太陽下曝曬10分鐘便會曬傷,如使用SPF15防曬霜,可將曬傷時間延後15倍(SPF15 X 10分鐘 = 150分鐘)。室內活動宜用SPF15,逛街時宜用SPF30,戶外活動時宜用SPF50。
☀️PA
產品對抗UVA紫外線的能力,防止肌膚曬黑、曬老,分為PA+至PA++++四個等級,PA+有效防曬2至4小時,PA++有效防曬4至8小時,PA+++有效防曬8小時以上,PA++++有效防曬16小時以上。
防曬系數越高的產品質感越濃稠黏膩,容易阻塞毛孔,所以不要貪心,宜按場合選擇使用合適的防曬系數產品,出門前30分鐘塗抹一次,然後每2小時補擦一次就最好,濕水、出汗後宜額外補擦。
近年亦流行穿有防曬功效的衣物,你又知道衣物的防曬密碼怎解讀嗎?
☀️UPF
Ultraviolet Protection Factor的簡稱,與SPF概念一樣將曬傷時間延後,一般人在太陽下曝曬10分鐘便會曬傷,如穿著UPF15衣物,可將曬傷時間延後15倍(UPF15 X 10分鐘 = 150分鐘)。不過要注意,衣物的顏色、編織密度及衣物有否沾濕對防曬功能都有影響。
除了外在防曬,中醫理論認為「白色入肺」,適量進食白色食物有助美白肌膚,例如百合、雪耳、淮山、薏米、白朮、白芍、茯苓等,有助從內在潤肺美白。

Understanding sun protection during summer
The sun during summer is exceptionally harsh. When exposed, we do not only become darker, but the ultraviolet (UV) rays that come with it will expedite aging of our skin. This is why sun protective measures are important during summer!
There are two primary methods to protect ourselves from the sun: 1. Apply sunscreen, 2. Wear sun protective clothing. Yet, how well do we understand the science behind them?
Unveiling the science behind sunscreen:
☀️UVA and UVB
There are two different types of UV rays in the sun: UVA, which contributes to premature skin aging and causes wrinkles to develop; UVB, which is responsible for causing sunburn and suntan.
☀️SPF
The abbreviation for Sun Protection Factor; an index that measures the effectiveness of a product in blocking the UVB rays and delaying the process of getting a sunburn. An individual can get sunburnt if he or she stays under the sun for 10 minutes, but if the person uses a product with SPF 15, he or she can avoid getting sunburn for the next 150 minutes (SPF15 X 10 minutes). One should use SPF15 product for indoor activities, SPF30 for shopping trips, and SPF50 for outdoor activities in open spaces.
☀️PA
A protection score that measures a product’s ability to protect the skin from UVA, preventing sunburn and delaying the aging process of the skin. There are four ratings in this system, ranging from PA+ to PA++++. A product with the PA+ rating can last between 2 to 4 hours, PA++ 4 to 8 hours, PA+++ 8 hours and above, and PA++++ 16 hours and above.
Products that are thicker and gooier can clog the pores of our skin easily, so we have to choose the most suitable products according to our environment. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before leaving the house, and reapply another layer once every 2 hours, especially when we break out in a sweat.
Sun protective clothing has also popular recently. How well do you understand it?
☀️UPF
An abbreviation for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. The concept is more or less the same as SPF as it works by delaying the time it takes to get sunburnt. An individual can get sunburnt if he or she stays under the sun for 10 minutes, but if the person put on the sun protective clothing with UPF15, he or she could avoid getting sunburn for the next 150 minutes (UPF15 X 10 minutes). Do note that the moisture that the garment absorbs as well as its color and density would affect its sun protection properties.
Besides adopting sun protection measures, it is important to consume ingredients that are white in color to brighten the skin. This is because Chinese Medicine believes ingredients that are white in color are good for the lungs. These ingredients include lily bulb, snow fungus, Chinese yam, coix seed, atractylodes rhizome, white peony root, and poria. In addition to moistening the lungs, these ingredients can also give us a healthier complexion.
