                     长斑不用愁，我有妙招

                                             http://www.pcpp.cn2011-06-21　来源：product

干性皮肤的我，皮肤超容易干燥的，不过我护肤有方，现在我的皮肤可好了，水水嫩嫩的，看不出一点瑕疵。天生肤质不是特别好的我就特别注重护理，美美的皮肤可真是精心护理出 来的呢！
像以前，每到秋天这种特别干燥的天气的时候，我都在想补水、补水、还是补水~！！！可是一年前，我的小干脸就出现了斑斑。刚开始只是眼圈那附近有点小 斑，到后来竟然扩展到半个 脸颊。而且任我怎么洗，怎么敷面膜，狂补水还是于事无补。每天出门前都要扑粉化妆才敢出去，卸妆不干净又会引起其他的皮肤问题，真是烦死我了~！

唉，满脸斑斑，怎么见人呢~！

急着祛斑的我，刚开始试的是一些祛斑DIY法子。去超市败回来西红柿、蜂蜜、面粉，自己做起了西红柿祛斑面膜 。它的做法也很简单，将1个西红柿捣烂取汁，加入5毫升蜂蜜与10克 面粉，调匀。将这个调匀的混合物敷上脸，等十几二十分钟就可以冲洗干净。洗完脸，感觉脸好像滋润了好多，看起来幼滑了一点呢。不过我很不喜欢敷脸的时候， 那些汁液很容易往下滴， 即使躺在床了，还是一直往下掉……为了祛斑变美，我还是坚持一周敷一两次。敷了接近两个月，美白效果有那么一点，可是祛斑，真没看出来，总结了一句：祛斑 还是得用专 业的产品。

就是用这个新鲜西红柿为原材料来做西红柿面膜滴~~

　　后来在逛百货的时候看到兰蔻有促销，赶紧买了一款兰蔻智能愉悦臻白柔肤水(均衡型)回来。 之前就想买这个水的，可是一直都觉得贵…… 这款水水有着淡淡的香味儿,拍在脸上感觉水水的、软软的，用完感觉皮肤弹性很好~！用了半瓶左右，皮肤光滑了，毛孔也细致了好多~！滋润补水还真没的说， 可是淡斑的效果不怎么明显！ 这应该也是治标不治本的表现吧，不行，我得找到一种有科学依据的祛斑产品！

兰蔻智能愉悦臻白柔肤水(均衡型)，大牌子，效果也是一般般o(╯□╰)o

　　哎呀，后来还试过一些国货精品，或者小有名气的几个产品，但是都是白了一点，肤色均匀了 点~~就这样我一有空闲就泡网看一些祛斑美白的产品！希望 能找到彻底祛斑的DD~~后来看到一个护肤达人贴图介绍了她祛斑的全过程，我感觉还挺详细的。根据她提到的，皮肤长斑是因为黑色素细胞代谢失去平衡，产生 了大量麦拉宁黑色素。
我还点进去她用的那个产品的网站，顺便做了一个15种肌肤精细细 分测试。那系统推荐给我的是，瓷肌麦拉宁 祛斑套装。我仔细看过它的介绍，感觉这个鲜药妆的产品成分比 较天然，性质比较温和，我也挺放心的。还看到他家产品只在官网独售，我就下单败了 一套回来。

Obat Pikun Cukup Minum Kopi Atau Teh Pahit Setiap Pagi

Penyakit demensia atau pikun, perlahan namun pasti, akan dialami sejalan dengan pertambahan usia. Dan menurut studi, dengan minum kopi atau teh pahit setiap pagi, mampu untuk memperlambat dan melawan kepikunan.

Kopi dan teh sudah menjadi minuman favorit bagi kebanyakan orang di dunia. Tapi efek menguntungkan dari kafein pada kopi sebagai obat psikoaktif, yang dapat memelihara fungsi otak, mulai belakangan ini dihargai.

Penelitian terbaru oleh pakar internasional dari University of Lisbon dan University of Coimbra, Portugal menemukan, bahwa kafein dalam kopi dan teh dapat melindungi terhadap penurunan kognitif yang terlihat pada demensia (kepikunan) dan penyakit Alzheimer.

"Studi epidemiologis pertama menunjukkan, hubungan terbalik antara konsumsi kafein dengan kejadian penyakit Parkinson. Kemudian beberapa studi epidemiologi lanjutan menunjukkan, bahwa konsumsi jumlah moderat kafein juga berbanding terbalik dengan penurunan kognitif yang terkait dengan penuaan serta kejadian penyakit Alzheimer," jelas Alexandre de Mendonca, dari Institute of Molecular Medicine and Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal, seperti dilansir dari Seniorjournal.

Selain kopi pahit, teh pahit juga dapat melawan kepikunan. Uji laboratorium menemukan, bahwa minum secangkir teh hitam dan hijau secara teratur dapat menghambat aktivitas enzim tertentu di otak, yang membawa pada Alzheimer, yaitu suatu bentuk demensia generatif yang mempengaruhi 10 juta orang di seluruh dunia.

Berdasarkan jurnal Phytotherapy Research, Alzheimer ditandai dengan penurunan asetilkolin. Kopi dan teh pahit dapat menghambat aktivitas enzim acetylcholinesterase (AChE), yang memecah bahan kimia atau neurotransmiter dan asetilkolin.

Selain itu kopi, teh hitam, dan teh hijau juga menghambat aktivitas enzim butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), yang ditemukan dalam deposit protein pada otak penderita Alzheimer.

"Meskipun tidak ada obat untuk Alzheimer, kopi dan teh berpotensi menjadi senjata lain yang digunakan untuk mengobati penyakit ini dan memperlambat perkembangannya," ungkap Dr. Ed Okello, peneliti dari Medicinal Plant Research Centre di Newcastle University, Inggris.

Tapi ingat, harus kopi atau teh pahit, cukup setiap paginya.

Karena minum kopi secara berlebihan, dapat meningkatkan serangan stroke akibat kerusakan pada dinding pembuluh darah. Pada wanita hamil dapat meningkatkan denyut jantung, menyerang plasenta, masuk ke dalam sirkulasi darah, dan yang lebih parah bisa menyebabkan kematian.

Tapi minum kopi dalam jumlah yang sedang tidak membahayakan, malah bisa memberikan manfaat. Coffee time!
