EXFOLIATION DECODED:
The Path to Radiant Skin 重視去角質 擁抱光澤肌 By Pia Norris
I
n the quest for radiant skin, few steps are as vital as exfoliation. Let’s explore the transformative power of skin exfoliation and the secrets it holds for achieving a fresh complexion.
想 追尋 容光 煥發的護膚效 果，去角質這項步驟至關重 要。一同來探索「 去角質 」的力量，及其如何維護肌膚 光澤的祕密。 了解肌膚去角質
UNDERSTANDING SKIN EXFOLIATION Skin exfoliation is more than a beauty ritual; it is a fundamental process that involves shedding dead skin cells from the epidermis, which is the skin's outermost layer. However, external factors like pollution, stress, and lifestyle choices can disrupt this natural process, leading to a buildup of dead cells and dull, lackluster skin.
去角質並非簡單的例行公事，而是最基礎的護膚步驟， 目的是 去 除表 皮 層的老廢角質細 胞。不過，由於空氣 汙染、壓力、生活環境等外在因素，經常影響皮膚細胞 自然更新的過程，使得老廢角質堆積在皮膚表面，進而 導致肌膚暗沉、失去原有的光澤。 為什麼去角質很重要？ 去角質不僅能 讓 皮 膚更緊 緻、光滑，還 能促 進 肌 膚整

WHY IS SKIN EXFOLIATION IMPORTANT? Exfoliation isn't just about revealing smoother, more radiant skin; it's a rejuvenating process that promotes overall skin health. By removing dead cells, exfoliation encourages cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and enhances the skin's ability to absorb skin care products.

Arizona’s first wellness retreat, Castle Hot Springs, was built in 1896. It’s set in the Hieroglyphic Mountains around mineral-rich thermal waters long-used medicinally by indigenous people, and it has hosted luminaries such as Theodore Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. The property went into decline after a 1976 fire, but a recent renovation restored its former glory, which is highlighted by fine dining and diversions ranging from golf to mountain climbing.
Not for the fainthearted, a typical day at The Ranch at Malibu starts with a mountain hike, followed by a low-impact workout, strength training, yoga, and a massage for your aching muscles, all complemented by a structured organic, plant-based diet. The celebrity hot spot touts an average weight loss of 3 to 6 percent of body weight, while gaining muscle. Private programs are available.

BREAKING THROUGH BOUNDARIES: An Australian’s journey to becoming a world-class dancer in Shen Yun 在逆境中飛躍 專訪神韻藝術團領舞演員黃瑞輪
By Jennifer Tseng Photography by Larry Dye

hen you envision an advocate for ancient Chinese traditions, what image comes to mind? Perhaps a martial artist rippling with muscles. Or maybe a slender and dignified scholar reciting poetry from a bamboo scroll. In either scenario, they would understand Chinese very well. That’s a given. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth for Aaron Huynh when he started his career as a classical Chinese dancer. He’s the son of a Chinese mother and a Vietnamese father who both immigrated to Australia in their youth, and English is the go-to language in the family home. “My parents are very smart. They learned English when they came to Australia. They're very fluent in English.” Growing up in the West, Huynh gave little thought to his Asian background. He didn’t have a lot of connection to his heritage and had very little understanding of what it meant to be Chinese, he said. This all changed when Huynh embarked on a mission to retrace his roots and salvage an ancient culture teetering on the brink of extinction after communist’s rule. 30│
談及中國傳統文化中的人物形象，什麼會最先出現在你 的腦 海？或 許 是 一名武 術高手，於江湖行俠仗義 的 模 樣？也許是一名溫文爾雅的書生，將一手背在身後，一 手握著竹簡吟詩作對。然而，無論是文是武，他們無不 對中文信手拈來。但這對於精通中國古典舞的舞蹈藝術 家黃瑞輪，卻不是理所應當之事。 黃瑞輪從小在澳洲出生、長大，母親是中國人，父 親為越南籍華裔，雙親在早年移民至澳洲。「 我父母都 非常聰明，他們來到澳洲後才開始學習英文。但他們都 能說一口流利的英文。」因此自他出生起，便在全英語 的環境下成長。 在父母的支持與因緣際會下，他決心學習中國古典 舞，隻身來到美國飛天藝術學院，展開專業的舞蹈訓練。 這讓一位自認西化得很澈底的男孩，重新擁抱屬於自己 的文化。

Power Ranger to Mom Entrepreneur From
Jessica Rey's swimwear line is making waves 從演員到創業 ——女星潔西卡・瑞的正向影響力 By Hazel Atkins
THIS ARTICLE ORIGINALLY APPEARED IN AMERICAN ESSENCE MAGAZINE.
“
W
here did you get that?” The first time Jessica Rey wore her self-desig ned swimsuit to the pool, other young girls wanted to know. The actress—best known for her role as Alyssa the White Power Ranger in the 2002 TV series Power Rangers Wild Force—spent a lot of time at the pool between jobs in Hollywood and owned around 100 bikinis. But this swimsuit was different: It was a simple, ruched one-piece reminiscent of the 1950s, based on the vintage styles she loved but modernized with swim-friendly fabric. She had designed it and asked a roommate to sew it for her because she could not find a one-piece in stores that made her feel good. She realized she wasn’t alone. That was the impetus for her business—Rey Swimwear, designing flattering, feminine, and functional swimwear for women who’d rather not wear a bikini. “I’m trying to give women an option to feel beautiful in their own skin, in their own swimsuit, and feel confident,” Ms. Rey said. Her foray into entrepreneurship followed a personal journey with modesty—a concept she initially disliked.
潔西卡．瑞第一次穿著自己設計的泳衣時，池畔的女孩 們 都 想 知 道——「 妳 在 哪 裡 買的？」身 為 演 員的 她 最 為人 所 熟 知 的 角色， 是2002年電 視 影 集《金 剛 戰 士： 狂野之力》（ 另譯作「 恐龍戰隊 」）裡的白衣戰士亞莉莎 （Alyssa）。當她在好萊塢時，常常泡在泳池裡，她回想 當時大約有約100件比基尼。 不過這一次她穿上的泳衣不一樣：簡潔、大方、帶 荷葉邊連身泳衣，讓人回想起 1950 年代。這是她喜歡 的復古風格，只不過換成了新式泳衣布料。她親自設計， 並請懂裁縫的室友幫忙縫製，只因為她在商店裡找不到 一件稱心如意的連身泳衣。泳池旁女孩們的反應，讓她 意識到：原來她並不孤單！ 這促使她成立自己的品牌——「Rey Swimwear」， 專門為不喜歡比基尼的女性，設計既能襯托身材、女性 化又實用的泳衣。 「 我試著為女性提供可以欣賞自己，並 感到自信的泳裝。」潔西卡說。 她的創業之路，始於一段探索何為「 端莊 」的心路 歷程——她原先並不喜歡這個概念。但當她深入探索自 己的信仰後，對此有了全新的認識，認為這是「 維護神 給我們的尊嚴。」她說： 「 我開始注意，當我穿上較為裸 露衣服時所遭受的待遇，而我不喜歡被那樣對待，於是 我決定不再那樣打扮。」

ETIQUETTE MATTERS Over a Century of Good Manners From Emily Post 一堂跨世代的禮儀課 ——淺談艾蜜莉‧普斯特其人其書 By Jeff Minick
S
ome American books are not only bestsellers, but they may also profoundly influence American culture and society. Whether they’ve read Mark Twain or not, most Americans are familiar with his novel Huckleberry Fin. When President Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, he supposedly said, “So you are the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war,” referring to the explosive effect of Stowe’s novel on Northern abolitionism. Though little-read today, books written by muckrakers like Ida Tarbell and Upton Sinclair changed national policies regarding such entities as the oil industry and meat-packing companies. 一些在美國歷史上的暢銷著作，不僅是風靡一時，許多作品 對社會和文化產生的影響深遠。 無論人們是否閱讀馬克 · 吐溫的作品，大部分的美國人
小屋》作者斯托夫人時，他說： 「 妳就是那位撰寫這本著作， 開啟戰爭序章的婦人。」指出該小說對於北方廢奴主義的深刻 影響。儘管在當今世代，人們閱讀量不似從前，但那些由專門 揭發黑幕的記者所撰寫關於——石油產業、肉品包裝公司等 著作，都因此改變了國家政策。

LEGACY In 1946, Emily Post founded the Emily Post Institute, which her descendants still operate today. They offer podcasts and online articles about etiquette, publish books, and arrange workshops and speakers to teach proper manners to business executives and the general public. Of course, these manners have changed since 1922, but the philosophy behind etiquette remains the same. In the last chapter of Etiquette, titled “Growth of Good Taste in America,” Emily Post adds this reminder: “Good taste or bad is revealed in everything we are, do, or have. Our speech, manners, dress, and household goods—and even our friends—are evidences of the propriety of our taste, and all these 64│
have been the subject of this book. Rules of etiquette are nothing more than sign-posts by which we are guided to the goal of good taste.” Like so many other writers on proper behavior, Post realized that good manners are simply those courtesies we offer to others. Some of the practices common in her day have vanished as predigital antiques that even in the 1920s were fading away, but the philosophy she embraced and advocated remains just as valid today as it did more than a century ago. “Nothing is less important than which fork you use,” she once wrote. “Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor.” Ethics and honor. That pretty much says everything we need to know about the importance of good manners.
