这里我翻译了一篇我很受用的关于抗氧化的理论和用品的文章

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antioxidants in skincare are substances that help to reduce the damaging effects that things like sun exposure, pollution and other environmental aggressors have on our skin. This damage is what starts to make us look older – it shows up as wrinkles and sun spots and patches of discoloration, or it starts to make the skin sag and look thinner and lifeless. In a nutshell: all of this damage isn’t good. The good news is that our cells contain antioxidants naturally and these help to neutralize this damage and keep it all in check, but the bad news is that quite often, the onslaught from things like smoking cigarettes and sitting outside in the midday sun can be too much for our natural defenses. That’s when the real damage happens and that’s why a bit of an antioxidant boost (through food, though skincare) could help to limit the ongoing damage.

外界的日照和污染会引起皱纹 晒斑 肤色不均匀 失去光泽 没有生机 抗氧化就是指抵抗这些影响 虽然我们的细胞自带这种能力 但也禁不住入不敷出 所以我们要再加把劲 吃的抹的都行

There are loads of different types of antioxidant – you’ll have heard of many of them, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E, but there are long lists of them that might take you by surprise. Especially when you look at some of the foods that they are found in. Onions, anyone? Nuts? Not the kind of foods that I’d have immediately associated with antioxidants; personally I always used to think of blueberries and green tea and red wine! At any rate, it goes without saying that the more varied and fresh your diet is, the more antioxidants you’ll consume.

能吃的抗氧化剂很多 维C维E都行 我最喜欢蓝莓 绿茶 红酒 吃的越多样 获得的抗氧化物就越多 

But what about skincare? Again, you’ll no doubt have seen Vitamin C and Vitamin E being touted about on skincare packaging, but they are by no means the only topical antioxidants. Scientists are constantly coming up with new ways of using ingredients and combining them, of keeping them stable and making them more easily tolerated by the skin.

护肤品也一样 但虽然哪哪的瓶子上都写着维C维E 他们绝不是唯一的 科学家们研究出了好多更稳定更耐受的新东西

A good antioxidant serum or treatment is fast becoming a staple of my morning skincare routine. The general idea that I have cultivated over the past few years is that I “protect” with my serum in the daytime (followed by moisturizer and/or SPF) and then I “treat” with my serum and moisturizer at night. In terms of the antioxidant serum for day, I have about a million vitamin C ones that I’ve been testing an there are suggestions below, but my latest has been the very affordable one from Una Brennan Superfacialist. It’s called the Vitamin C Glow Boost Serum, £15.99 from Boots.

早上我必用抗氧化精华 我的护肤观念是 早上的精华是用来保护的 后续加面霜和防晒 晚上的精华是用来休养的 后续加面霜 下面开始点名 最平价的就是 Una Brenna Superfacialist的Vitamin C Glow Boost Serum 15.99块

Then at night, I apply my glycolic treatment or a hydrating serum or a nourishing oil, depending on what my skin is up to. I like a bit of glycolic action a few times a week to keep my skin buffed and fresh, otherwise it’s usually a serum like Advanced Night Repair followed by a moisturizer. A couple of times a week it will be an oil – either Argan or, most recently, the Sunday Riley Artemis.

晚上我会用酸类或者补水精华或者面油 大部分时间都是ANR小棕瓶加面霜 时不时用酸类来平滑皮肤 时不时用阿甘油或者Sunday Riley的Artemis面油 一周几次的样子吧

The antioxidant step is not one of those steps that will always show an enormous amount of difference in the short-term, I think of it as more of an “investment” step. Saying that, you may very well see differences quite quickly; the repairing effects could have an impact on radiance, dark spots and even the plumpness and elasticity of the skin. Philosophy’s Miracle Worker Dark Spot Corrector fixed my dark acne scars over the course of about four months, and SkinCeuticals’ new Reveratrol B E (more on that later in the week) promises to improve firmness, radiance, elasticity and density, showing amazing clinical trial results at just twelve weeks. Both packed full of antioxidants. The results when using a good antioxidant might not be as instant as something like a glycolic peel or a brightening treatment, but the longer-term effects can’t be argued with. I’m religious about applying an antioxidant when I’m going on holiday – see as far back as my Decleor Serum use in 2011– and I’ll always try to make sure that my little routine includes one sort or another, even if I’m trying out new things.

不像酸类的即时效果 抗氧化不会让你短期内感受到翻天覆地的变化 更像是种长期投资 慢慢你会感觉到皮肤开始发亮 斑点不见了 弹性也回来了 Philosophy的Miracle Worker Dark Spot Corrector四个月去掉了我深深的痘印 SkinCeutical新出的Reveratrol BE是12周起效 他俩都是满满一瓶抗氧化剂 追溯到2011年我就开始用Decleor的精华了 到现在为止 不管什么时候 我的护肤程序里都必须有抗氧化的步骤

It’s not difficult to work an antioxidant into your routine – you’re probably using something containing antioxidants already. I find it easiest to use a day serum, as mentioned above – SkinCeuticals’ C E Ferulic is quite pricey but one of the best, if you’re serious about your skincare, I also love the aforementioned Miracle Worker, which shouldn’t just be limited to skin with dark spots to correct. It’s great as a general skin boost. See also Caudalie’s new and really quite excellent Polyphenol [C15} serum, which is £28– a wonderful price for a top-quality serum, I think, and the Moisture Defense Antioxidant Hydrating Gel from MD Formulations. This is a moisturizer for oily skin that is so lightweight but gives a nice bit of hydration – I use it beneath my sunscreen. It’s £27 .

其实不用故意加一步 最简单的办法就是用抗氧化精华 比如说SkinCeuticals的C E Ferulic 虽然很贵 但绝对是最好的 如果你想好好对自己的话就是它了 稍微便宜一点的有我刚说的Philosophy的Miracle Worker Dark Spot Corrector 虽然写的是dark spot 但是其实没有斑点也可以用 当正常精华用就行 还有Caudalie新出的超级棒的Polyphenol C15精华 28块 性价比超高 还有一个是MD Formulation的Moisture Defense Antioxidant Hydrating Gel 是个特别适合油皮的面霜 保湿但不油腻 我一般防晒前用 27块

If you prefer a moisturizer then I can highly recommend Clinique’s Super Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer, which is a night cream that I’ve bought again and again over the years. If you wanted an oil, then take a look at Neal’s Yard Remedies and their Argan Oil(£17.50) and also Pai Skincare’s Rosehip (£20). Both of these are very affordable, I think, considering the quality.

如果你想要抗氧化面霜的话 我非常推荐Clinique的Super Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer 是我很多年还在无限回购的晚霜 如果你想要抗氧化面油的话 去看看Neal’s Yard Remedies和阿甘油 或者是Pai Skincare的Rosehip 都是物美价廉的东西

The others shown in the pics are Phloretin CF Gel from SkinCeuticals– supposedly better for those who can’t tolerate the CE Ferulic, which can be a bit hardcore, and Perricone MD’s Vitamin C Ester 15, which I haven’t given an extensive test – yet – but seems to get good reviews. A nice alternative to look out for, if you were after Vitamin C, is the C-Recover from Filorga. That’s £54.

另外 刚才说的SkinCeuticals的C E Ferulic是猛药 敏感皮可以试试Phloretin CF Gel 听说Perricone MD的Vitamin C Ester 15也是猛药效果很好我还没去试 如果你特别喜欢维C的话 可以试试Filorga的C-Recover作为代替品 54块
