爱华网这次去海口观澜湖，因为大雨三天都只能呆在酒店里，不过还是很有收获。跟来自纽约的大厨Robert拍摄了一个做菜的视频，这是第一次用英语拍节目，希望以亲身示范给大家带来英语口语的内容。其实也是第一次做视频，跟小队长在摸索中，希望能尽快做出来发给大家看哦

最近收到一只传说中的StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate ForExsiting StretchMarks（意外抗皱霜），150ML好大一只。这东西说起来也红了快十年了，最初是为消除妊娠纹而研制的，放在高级百货公司里卖。后来据说有人收到试用装，以为是面霜用来擦脸了，意外地发现对改善皱纹有惊人的效果。消息传开此牌大红大紫，常年占据SEPHORA等美妆店抗皱面霜TOPSELLER的宝座，甚至打出了“Better ThanBotox？（比肉毒杆菌更好？）”的口号。在美国不少娱乐界颁奖典礼送给明星们的GoodieBag里，就放着这只意外抗皱霜，是在规劝他们不要打太多针吗？
用妊娠纹霜来擦脸，倒也不是什么新鲜事，至少听起来比用痔疮膏擦眼袋靠谱点吧！为何它会有意外抗皱的功效？其核心成分是一种复合体Striadrilcomplex，其中包括能促进胶原蛋白和弹力纤维增生、提高肌肤含水量的亲脂性寡胜肽。但它真的比注射肉毒杆菌更能有效除皱吗？这句口号也一直让StriVectin-SD饱受争议，因为事实上不可能有任何外擦的护肤品，能比侵入式的注射美容更立竿见影起到抗皱回春的功效，不然好莱坞明星们为何前仆后继热衷此道？如果相信有什么霜抹一抹就能回春的人，不如也顺便相信有什么减肥霜擦完躺着就能瘦好了，不过这样的人似乎也并不在少数。
我做功课时搜出一段解释为何要号称better thanbotox的话，想学英语的不妨仔细读读：
Better than Retinol and Vitamin C, But IsStriVectin-SD Better than Botox*?™
Dr. NathalieChevreau, Director of Women’s Health at Salt Lake City based BasicResearch, exclusive distributor for Klein-Becker, explains, “Manyresearchers believe less invasive cosmetic alternatives are betterthan Botox [sometimes referred to as Botox Cosmetic]. That’sbecause topical creams and gels offer gradual, continual results,while the effects of injections, facial peels, and dermabrasionswear off… in fact, you’ll never look better than you do shortlyafter the inflammation and redness subside. Not one bitbetter.”
"Furthermore," Dr. Chevreau continues, "Botox has been approved bythe FDA for an extremely limited usethe tiny little space of deepfurrows between the eyebrows (called glabellar lines) and can causeside effects such as 'headache, temporary eyelid droop, andnausea.' While StriVectin was not designed to eliminate the deepglabellar lines targeted by Botox, the proprietary StriVectincomplex has been shown to significantly reduce the appearance offine lines and facial wrinkles (including crows' feet) that can add10-15 years to your appearance... the type of fine lines andwrinkles Botox treatments leave behind." In other words, StriVectinhelps give you a youthful, healthy, glowing complexion faster thanretinol, far superior to vitamin C, and without irritation,needles, or surgery.
大意是说比起肉毒杆菌注射这些侵入式的美容手术，这类外用抗皱霜的效果需要逐渐见效，但是效果比较持久。而且肉毒杆菌注射会有头疼、眩晕等副作用。抗皱霜虽然不像肉毒杆菌那样有效地消除眉心皱纹，但是对其他干纹、皱纹（包括鱼尾纹）都能起到比维A醇和VC更好的修复效果。
当然不管理论如何，关键是有没有实际功效。网上关于这款产品的中文评论比较少，我就上skinstore和AMAZON的读了一堆review，再次头昏脑胀---评价相当两极，可谓是爱的人爱死，恨的人恨死。有人说的确有效，用了好几年感觉皮肤年轻饱满很多。有人则说完全无用，不如多凑点钱去打BOTOX。我目前没有皱纹，但是有减肥留下的妊娠纹（肥胖纹），所以最关心的是这方面的评价，所幸找到几个都是正面的：
I recievedthis product as a gift for Christmas. I have two kids and I am 25years old. I recently lost all of my baby weight (30 lbs) and I waslamenting over my stretch marks on my stomach and sides. The worstmarks are on the front of my stomach. I began using the cream thischristmas eve and have used it three times daily since. I havenoticed a difference in the area where the marks were the worst.The not so bad marks have not faded much but the depth and color ofthe deepest stretch marks have almost evened out with the the restof them. My husband and mother also noticed the difference. I alsonoticed the peppermint smell but it doesn't bother me at all. Iwill continue to use it and see what happens.
I would neverexpect it to completely get rid of my stretch marks, however. Thatwould just be ridiculous.

I have noexplanation for the mixed reviews on this product, but I do knowthat it works for me. I bought it to use on my lingering stretchmarks. It worked pretty well--I was satisfied. They aren't gonecompletely, but pretty close to being gone. I don't notice themanymore. Then I started puting the StriVEctin on my face because itsaid that it helped with Acne scars. I had really bad skin as ateenager and so I had some scars left on my cheeks and temples.After rubbing the cream on for about a month, I noticed the scarswere disappearing. I've been using it for about 5 months now and myacne scars are completely gone! HOORAY! I love having smooth skinnow. I feel much more attractive and don't wear nearly as muchmakeup!

I purchasedStriVectin-SD in a kit that contained the cream, the eye cream andthe serum. It was recommended by the skin care specialist at mylocal Sephora, when I asked for something to tighten my skin. Ireally like the serum; I can actually see a difference. I'm nottalking "Oh my stars I look 20 years younger" different, but itreally does diminish the look of lines around my eyes.
But whatreally amazed me....and this is true so help me....is that I'vereceived a few compliments in the past couple of weeks about myskin! I had dinner with some friends last week and one of them (aman) said "Don't you ever age? You look like you did 20 years ago."Then last night I attended a party, and an acquaintance who isabout 25 years younger than I am said "What do you do for yourskin? You look incredible." I attribute some of this to good makeup (I use Bare Minerals), but I've used that for a couple of yearsand never got compliments like that before.

I have neverseen such dramatic results from any skin cream. I have been usingStrivectin-SD for a little over 3 weeks now. It is a pain to put iton 3 times a day, but the results are worth it. It works, but youhave to use it as directed. 2x a day for wrinkles or 3x a day forstretch marks. I have been using it on large surgical scars andstretch marks. My skin had been purple/pink/red with indented andlumpy spots. The scars and stretch marks are so faded that they arehardly noticable anymore. The lumpy spots are smoother, the coloris normalized, and the thin skin inside the stretch marks lookshealthier. I had an area of darker skin around my waistline frombeing overweight. At 2 weeks that yucky skin was gone!!! Even theskin that was most devastated from my pregnancies looks rathernormal now. My husband is impressed. The cream smells likeessential oil of peppermint. It feels very pleasant on my skin. Itis very concentrated so a little goes a long way. I am using it 3xa day on my face, chest, belly, hips, and thighs and I still haveabout 2oz of my 6oz tube left.
By thank you
I am 53 andstarted with using the Sculpting Strivectin. After 3 weeks andseeing no visible difference, I returned it to Costco and purchasedthe Strivectin-SD. As Im going into my 3rd week of use, I notice myskin is smoother and has more of the youthful fullness I lost 20years ago. I also use ROC as a moisturizer, which I apply firstafter cleansing skin, then I apply the Strivectin SD. I dont alwaysuse it twice a day as recommended due to laziness, but I have tosay there is a noticeable improvement in skin texture andappearance. A friend of mine called me up after seeing me at afunction and asked me "What do you use on your face? You're skin isabsolutely beautiful." She gets laser light treatments and is 52. Icouldn't help but chuckle, as I've read about that happening inother reviews. I haven't found the Strivectin any cheaper thanCostco. If you're not a member, what you save buy purchasing theStrivectin at Costco pays for your membership...no exaggeration.Costco carries 3 types of the Strivectin, which come in 2 packs,often with a BONUS Eye or Hand Cream. Worst case scenario, you canreturn for full refund if you don't like it, and even get a refundon your membership, which you'd be CRAAAAAZY to do. There is noplace I tout higher that Costco!

（再次恳请整天嚷着要学英语的同学们仔细读一读，我经常收到诸如“如何学英语？如何积累词汇？”这类问题。其实我自己没有专门背过单词，因为背了很快就忘，背来的单词也不会应用。最好的方法是多上英语网站和论坛，找个自己感兴趣的东西来看。比如喜欢美容，就多看点国外网站的评测。这样既能得到更多公正客观的评价，又能在无形中积累词汇，习惯地道的英语表达方式。看多了这些东西，你自己讲话和写作的时候句型会自动冒出来，就是所谓的“语感”了。这可是千金难买，只能意会不能言传的宝贝东西。这样你平时上网收集资料的时候，既学习了美容知识，又不知不觉提高了英语水平，可谓内外兼修哇！
其实在国外大学读书到了高年级，教授很多时候就给一长串课外阅读清单，要你自己去读，让后根据自己的理解来写essay。我想今天写博文这样长篇大论，做起功课来如此鸡血横飞，应该就是那时候练出来的。其实这样自学再总结的技能，不管是在学习还是生活中都很重要的呢~）
妊娠纹也是很多同学关心的问题，这方面绝对是预防大于治疗，因为很难治疗。其实准确地说，因为生小孩形成的叫妊娠纹，肥婆肥仔瘦下来的叫肥胖纹，虽然原理都是一样的。这都是因为骨骼、肌肉或脂肪的体积增长过快，真皮的弹力纤维被拉断，而形成了纹路。在胖的时候看不出来，瘦下来就能清晰地看到这种生长纹，开始是红色的，后来慢慢变淡成白色。妊娠纹一般出现在肚子上，肥胖纹则可能出现在肩膀、颈部、手臂、腹部、大腿甚至小腿上。
最可怕的是，肥胖纹一旦出现几乎不可能彻底消除。目前比较给力的方法仍是医学美容，比如激光手术或高浓度果酸焕肤。不过这些也都存在一定风险，也不保证绝对有效。所以再次敬告各位减肥中人：切勿采用太激进的办法企图短时间瘦下来，瘦得越快就会松得越厉害，真不是我唬你！而且在减肥的过程中，最好配合瑜伽普拉提等拉伸的轻度运动，再坚持擦滋润的抗妊娠纹霜，肥肉越多越松的部位多抹点！并且减肥期间不可完全不进食碳水化合物和蛋白质，每天一定要适当补充。
至于已经形成的怎么办呢？我算是瘦得比较温和健康的，但也无可避免地留下了几条肥胖纹，幸好在平时看不到的PP上。虽然自己也不常能见到，但偶尔还是会很沮丧，穿比基尼时有点self-conscious。不过试过几种去妊娠纹霜和几瓶精油无效，又没有紧急到要搞医学美容的地步，就彻底放任自流了。其实不一定是那些霜和油不作为，而是我自己懒字作怪。不管买回来的时候多少兴奋多少期待，从最开始天天抹两次到一次到一周一次，到某天从床底扫出这瓶沾满灰尘的东西，最多用过1/3。
所以现在对着这个抗皱霜诸多感慨，既然专门说明是为已形成的妊娠纹设计，就说明也许还有一线希望！决心虔诚地按说明每天涂肥胖纹两次，再给它最后一次机会！希望能够坚持下去，大家有空常在微博给我留言：“今天你涂PP了吗？”恩，人多力量大，每天总有人会提醒到我的~~~
它的质地如图还是满润的，呈淡淡的土黄色，有种说不出来的微妙味道。网上很多人觉得难闻，我倒还能忍受，只是不认为是他们说的薄荷味，虽然里面的确含有薄荷精油。因为最近长痘痘不敢太放肆，它的成分又看起来蛮猛的，只试过两次用来擦脸。在脸上推开感觉比较厚重，喷了点玫瑰花水才完全推匀到吸收，按摩的过程有点凉凉的。说明书上不建议涂在眼周，因为薄荷精油可能会刺激眼睛。我的眼睛一般是很容易敏感流泪的，还是大胆地涂了，幸好没被刺激到。因为只用了一次，除了第二天起来皮肤比较润没有太深的感觉。而且看评测上觉得当面霜有用的一般都在40岁以上，已经有比较严重皱纹的人，所以我应该难以测试。如果去肥胖纹有效，我马上买几只给妈妈，擦脸擦身体一起来。
擦完脸我又顺手抹在脖子上当颈霜，因为颈纹也是只能尽量预防难以事后消除的，但也是不少人容易忽略的。包括我自己也不太记得擦颈霜，一般就刚买来的时候兴奋两天，过后就忘了这件事。现在正好乘着涂PP，每天记得顺便把脖子也涂了。。。欧不对，应该先涂脖子，拜托大家改为问我：“今天你涂脖子了吗？”
