[簡約Nail Art] 小清新的氣息

對於美甲,大多數人只想到指甲長就似巫婆、喜慶節日常用的大紅色大紫色、誇張而俗氣的閃石款式,完全不會聯想到「美麗」這兩字,也會叫你別弄那麼多無謂的事情。不過扔開以上浮誇元素的話,那就不同講法了,簡約的美甲款式絕對能夠加分。

簡約如留白款式主要能透明色為底色,有時候亦會用上淺粉紅和裸色做底色,在指甲面畫上波點、星形、線條等不同的圖案,適當地留白,讓指甲看起來低調但亦帶輕微的的花俏感;喜愛手繪亦可畫上花瓣、貼上乾花等植物圖案,塑造小清新的氣質。

Fungal Nails love Humid Weather

The spring-summer season of Hong kong is notoriously hot and humid.  If you got sweaty feet and usually wear tight shoes, fungus may easily find its way to your toes.  Nail fungus can be quite contagious. If you are not being careful enough, the fungus can spread to the other toes and even the finger nails.

Fungal nails should be taken care of in a serious manner.  A topical medicine can do the job.  The Callusan – Unguisan from Germany can effectively treat fungus and provide protection against them. It’s natural ingredients include urea, Iceland moss extract and blackcurrant    It does not contain The medicinal ingredient – Clotrimazol.  It is dermatologically tested suitable for diabetic users.  To get a better result, you can use it in conjunction with the US brand – Heidi’s Germ Wise.

Germ Wise can be sprayed directly on the skin to form a protective membrane against bacteria and viruses.  It’s antibacterial ingredients can decrease the risk of infection caused by airborne diseases.  Germ Wise can break down odors produced by fungus while keeping the feet fresh and free of bacteria.

How to use:

1.      first, spray Germ Wise on the fungal nail for cleaning and disinfection.

2.      apply one to two drops of Unguisan on the bottom of the nail.  Let dry.  Repeat the process for two weeks and the nail will obviously become clearer.

  Continue to use until the fungal nails has completely been improved.

⚠️Warning:

-keep dropper tip clear of the fungal nail to avoid contamination which may lead to cross infection or re-infection .

-this is a highly concentrated product. Do not use more then twice in a day.

-If there is no improvement after three weeks of use, you need to go consult the doctor.

灰甲總是喜歡潮濕天!!



踏入春夏季,香港的天氣經常都又焗又潮濕,雙腳容易出汗加上穿著太窄、不透氣的鞋子,很容易滋生真菌引致灰甲架!而且灰甲是一種傳染性的細菌,如果處理不好,很容易令到其他腳指甲,以及到手指甲受感染。

有灰甲的人士,請不要掉以輕心,其實一般使用外用藥物已經可以治療得到,這枝來自德國的足博士(Callusan) – Unguisan針對對抗真菌並提供全面保護,因採用純天然成份包括尿素,冰島海苔,黑加侖子萃取物,不含藥用的克霉唑(Clotrimazol),經皮膚科測試適合糖尿病患者使用。

如同一時間與美國品牌Heidi’s Germ Wise一併使用,痊癒效果會更加理想。
Germ Wise是可以直接噴上皮膚表面上形成一層保護膜,對於細菌、病毒和病菌能夠發揮殺菌作用,又能減少空氣中感染的風險。而Germ Wise能有效分解真菌所引起的異味,又可消毒又能保持清爽。

使用方法:

  1. 開始時使用Germ Wise噴於灰甲上作清潔及消毒
  2. 滴一至兩滴Unguisan於灰甲底部,待乾,重覆使用兩星期甲面會明顯變得清晰,直至灰甲有改善才停用。
    ⚠️注意事項:

-滴管位置千萬千萬不要接觸到患處,因為灰甲是具傳染性,免得會交叉感染

-此產品屬於高濃度濃縮液,建議每天使用不多於兩次。 -如使用三星期未見好轉,建議去睇醫生進行其他療程。

脫皮是甚麼一回事(下) – 對手甩皮點算?

上回我們提到春冬交界之間很容易手會脫皮 (甩皮),今次我們會談一下處理方法。

手脫皮用什麼方法處理?

  1. 洗手用溫水,保持肌膚乾淨,儘量少洗手,另外,洗手時要避免使用鹼性肥皂。
  2. 洗手後抹乾淨先再塗一些保濕潤膚露解決脫皮、乾裂問題,然後按摩2-3分鐘; 方法是:雙手交替按摩,用大拇指和食指拉住另一隻手的手指從內往外拉,再從指甲下緣揉到指甲縫隙,以上動作重複。這樣做的好處,既能加快手部的血液循環,還能更好的吸收,助於恢復。

吃甚麼對手脫皮有幫助? 多吃5種蔬果

  1. 胡蘿蔔素能夠幫助保持皮膚細胞組織的正常機理、撫平皮膚皺紋,維持皮膚滋潤細緻,防止手腳脫皮等作用。
  2. 西蘭花,含維他命A、維他命C和胡蘿蔔素,可以強化肌膚的抗損傷能力、幫助維持皮膚彈性。
  3. 士多啤梨的維他命C含量高,對人體的皮膚生長發育具有良好的促進作用。
  4. 黑芝麻中的維他命E可維護皮膚有滋潤皮膚的作用。
  5. 紅棗所含的維他命A有助於改進皮膚的水屏障特性。

手脫皮可以預防嘛?

  1. 適當補充維他命,吃含豐富維他命的食品。如紅蘿蔔、哈密瓜、蛋等含豐富維他命A的食物;
  2. 注意調節自己的飲食習慣,食物要清淡溫和,不要過於燥熱和冰凍、麻辣等等
  3. 多喝水,多吃一些水果蔬菜,生活儘量避免外界刺激物和局部刺激。

手脫皮的人平時應注意甚麼?

  1. 儘量減少接觸鹼性物質,如洗衣粉等,鹼性物質會造成脱皮或使脫皮加重。
  2. 避免冷熱刺激。手太熱時,不要馬上觸摸涼的東西,手太涼時不要拿太熱的物品。
  3. 儘量減少與水的接觸,不要長時間泡在水裡,會使脫皮更嚴重。
  4. 緊記護理雙手:

抗疫期間大家切記保持雙手清潔!

脫皮是甚麼一回事(上) – 點解對手會甩皮?

每年到春冬交替的時候手部就會出現脫皮,主要就是手掌、手指頭脫皮 (甩皮),不痛不癢,剛開始是出現白點,手指與物體摩擦也會越來越嚴重。有沒有好的建議?

手指頭脫皮是怎麼回事?

手部脫皮一般是由於春季氣候乾燥又潮濕再加上出汗少,經常摩擦,皮膚失潤乾燥引起的。 但有中醫認為是由於血虛血燥或者是皮膚失養所引起的。除此之外還有化學損傷以及先天遺傳等因素。

手指脫皮是缺維他命?

手脫皮一般也與缺乏維他命A有一定的關係。另外,生活習慣和其他皮膚病也會誘發:

  1. 氣溫乾燥導致脫皮;
  2. 汗皰疹也是引起手脫皮的原因之一,有汗皰疹的朋友,雙手一般會長紅色水皰,同時有劇烈瘙癢的感覺;
  3. 手癬,先是一隻手出現脫皮,進而擴散到雙手,雙腳,這種情況出現的脫皮是手癬導致的。手癬有很強的傳染性,建議及時治療防止感染給親人;

千萬不要把翹起來將要脫掉的皮撕掉,對治療脫皮沒有任何的幫助!這是因為在撕掉老皮的同時,必然使老皮末端尚未病變的皮膚也遭受輕微的破壞,進而擴大脫皮的區域,而且不利於生長出新的皮膚。

下次我們再談一下脫皮的處理方法。

Can Cuticle Peeling be caused by lack of Vitamins?

Many people get peeling cuticles.  Some said it was caused by lack of vitamin B6 or C.  Could that be true?

According to dermatologist, the peeling and cracking of the cuticles has nothing to do with lacking of vitamins or minerals.  It actually is a sign off under hydration of the body.  This is especially true for those with eczema.  On the other hand, frequent handwashing, using detergent on bare hand and gel nail are major external accomplices. Since the process of making gel nail requires the removal of the surrounding cuticle, the protective seal has been broken.  This increase the chance of peeling cuticles, as well as infection by fungus and bacteria.

What to do with peeling cuticles

Many people simply tear it off. This worsen the problem since they end up with a bigger peeling area.  Sometimes it may even draw blood which increases the chance of infection and leave a scar behind.  In fact, even if you leave it alone, The skin will metabolize and the peeling will heal anyways.  If the peeling is really too unsightful, you can slightly clip it off with a nail clipper.  Be careful not to go overboard though.

Can cuticle peeling be prevented?

Skin lotions can do a good job to prevent the cuticle from drying out.   For better hydration, after apply a layer of moisturizing factor(humectant), cover over with a layer of occlusive such as vaseline.    This can retain moisture and keep the skin better hydrated.  As for the question why peeling usually appears on the site of the fingers, some doctors pointed out that people usually only moisturize their palms. Area around the finger nails are neglected.  That is why the two sides of the fingers are especially dry. Therefore, never miss The area around the nails when you apply handcream.

Hope you would say goodbye to cuticle peeling.
