——摘自美剧《豪斯医生》

Traditional Chinese medicine

问曰：病有血分水分，何也？师曰：经水前断，后病水，名曰血分，此病难治；先病水，后经水断，名曰水分，此病易治。何以故？去水，其经自下。

Question: "Diseases are either related to the blood aspect or the water aspect. What does this mean?”The Master says:“When a patient suffers first from interrupted menstrual flow and then from water disease, this is called blood aspect. Such conditions are difficult to treat. When the patient first suffers from water disease, and then from interrupted menstrual flow, this is called water aspect. Such conditions are easily treated. Why is this so? When you get rid of water, the menses will spontaneously descend."

7 Tips for Making Your Sensitive Skin Stronger

Updated July 30, 2019

4. Keep Your Cool

保持凉爽

As we mentioned, heat can irritate sensitive skin, so look for ways to keep your body cool. Though a hot shower or bath feels good, a cooler one will keep your skin from getting dry and irritated. You can also use cooling mists or serums throughout the day to soothe your skin. A drop of peppermint oil on the back of your neck is a quick way to cool your body when you’re overheated. Even a simple spritz from a water bottle will do the trick!

正如我们提到的，高温会刺激敏感的皮肤，因此，要想办法保持身体凉爽。尽管热水浴令人感觉很棒，但冷水沐浴能防止皮肤干燥，避免刺激。你也可以在一天中使用清凉喷雾或精华液来舒缓皮肤。当你过热时，在后颈上滴一滴薄荷油可以快速降温，甚至一滴水也可达到这种效果。

5. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize

保湿

Your living skin cells are held together by lipids, also known as fats. Giving your skin more fat, in the form of moisturizers and oils, will create a tighter bond between your cells and make it less vulnerable to irritants. If your skin isn’t too oily, try using a face oil instead of a moisturizer at night. Coconut oil is a light, all-purpose oil that works well all over your body. For oily skin, use silicon-based moisturizers. They’re usually labeled as non-oily or light moisturizers. One more tip for dry skin is to lightly pat yourself dry after bathing and immediately apply oil or moisturizer while your skin is slightly damp.

皮肤的活性细胞是通过脂类，就是我们所熟知的脂肪聚集在一起的。通过保湿霜或油脂给皮肤更多的脂肪可以使细胞间的联系更为紧密，不易受到刺激。如果你的皮肤不是太油腻，晚上可以选择油而不是保湿霜。椰子油是比较清爽的，适合全身皮肤的万能油。油性皮肤可以使用含硅的保湿霜。这类面霜常常被贴上非油性或轻度保湿的标签。给干燥皮肤的另一建议是：沐浴后轻轻拍干皮肤，并在皮肤微湿的状态下立即涂油或保湿霜。

6. Strengthen Your Insides

内部调理

Your diet plays a big role in how healthy your skin is and you can repair your skin from the inside out. It’s important to eat fruits and vegetables, at least 5 servings a day, to give your skin the antioxidants it needs to be tough. The minerals and vitamins in healthy foods can also boost collagen production to keep your skin firm and youthful. Sensitive skin is often irritated by inflammation, so an anti-inflammatory diet can help strengthen your skin’s barrier. Eating oats, drinking green tea and limiting sugar are just a few ways to reduce inflammation.

饮食对皮肤的健康起着很大的作用，你可以从内到外修复你的皮肤。吃水果和蔬菜是很重要的，一天至少吃5份，这样才能给皮肤提供所需的抗氧化剂。健康食品中的矿物质和维生素也能促进胶原蛋白的产生，使皮肤保持紧致和年轻。敏感的皮肤经常受到炎症的刺激，所以消炎饮食可以强化皮肤的保护屏障。吃燕麦、喝绿茶、限制糖的摄入都是减少炎症的几种方法。

7. Manage Stress

管理压力

Most sensitive skin tips are focused on what you put in and on your body, but we can’t forget how important your immune system is to keeping your skin healthy and strong. Your skin is your largest organ and stress can slow down the healing process, leaving your biggest barrier in a weakened state. Whether it’s meditation or watching your favorite comedy on TV, try adding stress-relief to your sensitive skin care regimen and see what kind of results you get over time. Chances are you’ll feel better inside and out.

最敏感的皮肤小贴士都集中在你的涂抹物和身体上，但我们不能忘记你的免疫系统对保持皮肤健康有多重要。你的皮肤是你最大的器官，压力会减缓愈合过程，使你最大的屏障处于虚弱状态。无论是冥想还是看你最喜欢的喜剧，试着在你敏感的皮肤护理方案中加入减压成分，看看随着时间的推移会收到什么样的效果。你可能会感觉里里外外都好多了。
