明星护肤也是蛮拼的

Rather than just relying on expensive make-up and good lighting, A-list celebrities are trying out extreme procedures in their search for unblemished, wrinkle-free skin.

为了追求白皙光滑的肌肤，一线明星不再只是依靠于昂贵的化妆品和照明设备，他们还尝试了许多极端的方法。

In order to maintain his youthful glow, One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles reportedly goes books in for £325 sheep placenta facials at Dr Harold Lancer’s Beverly Hills clinic in LA.

据报道，One Direction组合中的万人迷哈里•斯泰尔斯（Harry Styles）为了保持年轻红润的肌肤，经常造访位于洛杉矶比弗利山庄的哈罗德•兰瑟（Harold Lancer）医生的诊所，用羊胎素保养面部。每次花费325英镑。

Hollywood dermatologist and 'aesthetician’ Louise Deschamps told Grazia the 21-year-old pop star comes to see her for the 90-minute treatment every six weeks.

在好莱坞工作的皮肤科医生兼理疗师路易丝•德尚（Louise Deschamps）在接受《红秀》（Grazia）杂志采访时表示，这位21岁的流行歌手每隔6个礼拜就会来这里做一次90分钟的面部护理。

She told the magazine: ‘He gets all clogged up - putting on make-up all the time and travelling a lot plays havoc with his skin.

她在《红秀》的采访中说道：“他的毛孔全都堵塞了。全天候带妆加上频繁出行对他的皮肤造成了很大的伤害。”

'He takes care of himself and loves the facials, he likes to look good and have good skin.’

“他很注重保养，喜欢做面部护理。他喜欢自己看起来气色很好，肤质很棒。”

The unusual treatment involves taking the placenta from prime New Zealand livestock - the stem cells, which are full of rich nutrients that fight free-radical skin damage, are extracted and then flash frozen.

除此之外还有一些不太常见的护肤方法，如注射一些源于新西兰的上等牲畜胎盘素。人们从牲畜的胎盘素中提取出干细胞，并迅速将这些干细胞冷藏起来。这些干细胞含有丰富的营养物质，能抵抗自由基（free-radical）对皮肤的伤害。

They are then mixed into a gel containing gold flecks which are slathered over the face after it has been exfoliated, exposed to steam and had pores opened by LED light from a handheld device.

接下来，人们会把这些干细胞掺入含有黄金微粒的凝胶中。在手持LED灯的照射下，凝胶开始脱落，然后涂抹在经过蒸汽熏蒸、毛孔张开的面部上。

While it may sound like an intense treatment, the curly-haired star isn't the first to try out an experimental facial.

虽然这听起来像是一种过激的护肤方法，但是一头卷发的哈里并不是第一个尝试这种实验性方法的人。

The remaining fluid is then splattered into the face using tiny acupuncture-style needles.

Another facial which isn't as frightful but is as equally as gruesome is the bird poo mask.

还有一种面部护理方法，看起来没有用血敷脸那么惊悚，但也挺可怕的，即鸟粪面膜。

这种面部护理方法将日本九州岛的夜莺粪便和麦麸、水混合起来，作为面膜使用。
