Nougat's Favorite Little Things

夏天到了，常常在版上看到有mm发贴子问怎么卸shiseido SPF 55 这类防水的防晒霜.

通常大家都会推荐用卸妆油. (不过卸妆油某些肤质用了有致痘的风险,并非人人适用)

这里来推荐一款很平价, 很经典, 很简单 但很有效的开架卸妆膏

*****************************************************

产品名称: Albolene Cleanser (哈哈, 是albolene, 不是abalone 哦....)

产品网址: http://www.albolenecleanser.com/index.php?src=gendocs&ref=Albolene_Home

简介:

这是一款oil-base 的卸妆膏. 可以轻易地卸除所有防水的防晒霜/底妆/彩妆.

取适量于脸上按摩溶解即可.

同样的原因, 它需要用纸巾或湿的热毛巾才能从脸上擦去 (因为用水冲不掉嘛)

使用完脸上会保留一层有保护作用的film

但是如果是容易发痘痘的皮肤则建议后续再多一道清洗步骤将这层膜洗掉.

这是官网所推荐的使用步骤:

1. Push your hair back from your face.
2. Start by removing more stubborn eye makeup with a dollop of Albolene Moisturizing Cleanser. Apply Albolene to the eye area, massage in and tissue off.
3. Smooth Albolene onto the rest of your face and tissue off. No need for soap or rinsing (如果是易发痘痘的皮, 这个步骤还是不能省滴...).

Albolene is a one-step makeup remover

有图有真相:

12oz 的大罐装. 我的手很小,几乎要抓不住了.

价格在$12 左右, 所以大约 $1/ oz 但是它是很浓厚的膏状, 所以用量其实很省.

成分在这里.相当的简单, 绝对没有多余的添加

打开来看看, 里面是白色半透明的膏体, 不要被它厚重的外表给迷惑了哦。

************************ 卸妆力小测 *******************************

因为防水防晒霜的卸妆效果比较不好拍, 所以我选择测试防水的眼线笔/眼线胶

以下是需要的用量, 用Q-tips 挖一点出来就够了.

使用的眼线产品:

上左: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner

上右: Rimmel Underground Stay In Line Liquid Eyeliner ( 不好意思，这个是不防水的，用水就冲掉了)

中左: Prestige Waterproof Eyeliner

中右: Urban Decay 24-7 Gilded On Eye Pencil

下左: MAC Power Point Eye Pencil

以上是我平日会用到的眼线产品。

过程如图

左上: 眼线产品画在手背上，晾干

右上: 眼线产品冲水擦干后 (此时上右方那条不防水的眼线已经被水冲掉了), 剩余的用Albolene Cleanser 来卸

备注: 这里只是为了比较眼线防水度所以才用冲水的步骤. 我们平时用的时候不要沾水.

左下: 基本上卸妆膏一碰到手背就很快变成液状的了。用手指or Q-tips 轻轻按摩十几秒

右下: 用纸巾把已经溶解的眼线连同卸妆膏一起抹掉. 非常干净. 连眼线里的亮粉也不留一星半点。

************************* 下一步??? ******************************

虽然在手背上感觉不出那层film , 但是在脸上就能感觉得到。因为脸会摸上去软软的...

所以为了放心不长痘, 我现在会用发泡型的洗面奶再洗一次, 把这层膜洗掉.

然后脸就干净得吱吱叫了

PS. 我也用它来卸眼妆, 睫毛膏和眼线还有眼影都可以卸得很彻底, 一样是用纸巾或沾湿的棉片把它擦掉。

就是要注意不要让它跑的眼睛里去，虽然不会刺激，但是会雾雾的。

戴隐形眼镜的mm 最好先把镜片取出来再用比较好, 不然就又要清洗镜片了。

补充一下卸眼妆的时候最好一次卸一边, 睁一只眼闭一只眼, 这样就知道棉片水龙头什么的位置, 就不会messy 啦

PS. 卸身体防晒小tips

1. 先take off 要卸的位置的衣物或首饰 (免得沾染到衣服上 or 首饰上, 又要清洗一番)

2. 取适量Albolene, 像涂body butter 一样在目标位置抹开, 稍加按摩(大概30秒到一分钟吧)

3. 取足够的纸巾, 把溶解的防晒连同Albolene 一起擦掉。纸巾可以扔掉了。如果环保一点的话，也可以找一块柔软的小毛巾,不过后面你就要洗毛巾了.

4. 按照平时的习惯淋浴即可.

7月5日 更新一下：

在尝试过各种方式之后，发现最好的还是用拧干的热毛巾来擦掉这个膏。

比用纸巾的效果好多了。

毛巾用热水冲洗后再拧干，可以反复使用。顺便还可以热敷一下，毛孔非常的干净！

P.S  关于矿物油:

mineral oil 不会clog pore 的。可以参考一下以下解释哦。
我也有点不了解用卸妆油致痘时究竟是什么机理...

因为其实mineral oil 本身是non-comedogenic, 在众多油里反而是对皮肤安全的一种 (就算留在皮肤上作moisturizer 也没问题)。所以我想可能是原料之外的问题吧.

像我之前用Pond's 的卸妆霜, 或EL 的卸妆乳, 或Lancome ....很多牌子的, 专柜开架都有，里面有不少都是以mineral oil 为主要的成分的。

Clear, odorless oil derived from petroleum that is widely used in cosmetics because it rarely causes allergic reactions and it cannot become a solid and clog pores. Despite mineral oil's association with petroleum and the hype that it is bad for skin, keep in mind that petroleum is a natural ingredient derived from the earth and that once it becomes mineral oil USP (cosmetics- and pharmaceutical-grade mineral oil), it has no resemblance to the original petroleum. Cosmetics-grade mineral oil and petrolatum are considered the safest, most nonirritating moisturizing ingredients ever found (Sources: Cosmetics & Toiletries, January 2001, page 79; and Cosmetic Dermatology, September 2000, pages 44-46). Yes, they can keep air off the skin to some extent, but that's what a good antioxidant is supposed to do; they don't suffocate skin! Moreover, mineral oil and petrolatum are known to be efficacious in wound healing, and are also among the most effective moisturizing ingredients available (Source: Cosmetics & Toiletries, February 1998, pages 33-40).

以上是Paula Begoun 她在网站的成分词典里对mineral oil 的批注. 安全的啦 :P

所以...... 归根结底, 不放心的话就二次清洁, 后续再用洗面奶洗一把脸啦.

我个人用了大半罐几乎都没有发过痘痘，前提当然是使用方法要正确咯。

P.S 其实这个Albolene Cleanser 并不仅仅是Cleanser...
"Two-Faced" Beauty Tips

It's always fun to find beauty products that do "double duty." Here are some extra beauty uses for Albolene? Moisturizing Cleanser:

* Smooth Rough Skin: If you've applied too much Albolene to your face when removing makeup at night, don't let it go to waste. Use the extra on cuticles, elbows, knees or heels to smooth rough patches.

* Luscious Lips: Dab Albolene on the lips. After a few minutes, use a clean, damp, small, soft toothbrush to brush off any flaky bits of dry skin. Finish off by lining lips with a neutral lip liner and pat on some more Albolene for a dewy pout.

* Eye Shadow Rescue: Is your favorite eye shadow broken into tiny bits? Don't fret. Take the remainder and put it into a small plastic bag or sealable container. Mix in a dollop of Albolene to create a creamy shadow of your favorite color instead.

* Gleaming Gams: Don't you just love the way that celebrities' legs look at events, even when they aren't wearing stockings? For gleaming gams, rub Albolene along your legs and dust with some highlighting powder to make them look sleek and sophisticated. Women with darker-toned skin can combine some sheer bronzer with Albolene for a warm, sexy look.

* Modified Facial: Men often look younger than women because they shave their faces everyday, exfoliating the top layers of skin on a regular basis and keeping skin refreshed. To get the same benefits without the blade, apply a thin layer of Albolene to your entire face and neck. Let the product set for about 5 minutes. For extra benefits, apply during the last five minutes of your bath - the steam will allow product to really penetrate into your open pores. Then, take a thin piece of clean cardboard (like a business card) and mimic the motion of shaving the product off of the face. Continue until your face is clear of product. Don't be alarmed by the residue on the card. You are actually removing the top dry layer of skin, revealing younger refreshed skin in its place. Do this once a week to keep skin smooth and even.

* Intensify Cleavage: Rub Albolene along the tops of your breasts and collarbones. Dust with highlighter for a twinkling effect when wearing a strapless top or dress.

* Solid Perfume Scent: For a long-lasting refreshing scent, try one drop of jasmine essential oil, one drop of gardenia essential oil, one drop of lime essential oil and one drop of lavender essential oil with one teaspoon of Albolene in a small plastic container. Blend well and rub into pulse points. Use Albolene to experiment with other essential oils to develop your own inexpensive "personalized" fragrance.
