秋天是皮膚抽濕機？
雖然天氣尚未真正入秋，但是在晚上已開始感覺到絲絲涼意，而且皮膚更已經率先換季，開始覺得繃緊，甚至出現因為乾燥而引起的痕癢和乾裂。秋燥猶如一部抽濕機，試想像，你身後無時無刻都有一部抽濕機在追著你，全身的水份就會被抽乾，肌膚繃緊令人笑不開懷，這可能也是秋天易令人傷感的原因之一，人人也dry如苦瓜乾。這時候就要適當地滋陰潤肺，才能保持肌膚水嫩，由於「肺主皮毛」，而脾為肺之母，當我們吸入乾燥空氣時會先影響肺部，當肺氣不足時，皮膚就會變乾及出現痕癢；另外，皮膚潤澤乃由我們在進食後，食物經脾的運化成為身體能吸收的營養，才可上傳歸於肺，再滋養全身肌膚，所以潤燥補肺之時也要好好健脾胃。

Is fall a dehumidifier for your skin?
Even though the weather doesn’t seem fall like but its beginning to cool down at night and your skin is usually first to change seasons with feelings of tightness or even itch and crack due to dryness. Fall dryness is like a dehumidifier, if you imagine having a dehumidifier following you around, all the fluids in your body would be drained and your skin would tighten- all feeling quite unpleasant. This could be why fall at times seems depressing, since everyone is sucked quite dry. This is time to appropriately nourish yin and moisten the lungs to keep your skin moist. Since the lungs affect the skin and hair, and the spleen is considered ‘mother’ of the lungs, when we breathe in dry air, the lungs are first to be affected with lessened qi. Then the skin becomes try and may itch as well. In addition, moistness of skin is also affected by the food that we consume and how well the spleen absorbs the necessary nutrients to be delivered to the lungs and subsequently distributed to skin throughout the body. It is important to strengthen the spleen and stomach when we are trying to moisten the lungs and relieve dryness.
