1.Get an Early Start
早行动早漂亮
Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off—allowing toxins1 and dirt to stay on there all night.Another consequence? You miss the best time to treat your skin. At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere2 with absorption.
睡觉前几个小时洗脸。如果等到困了再洗脸,那你很可能搞砸美容大计——毒素和灰尘会在脸上滞留整夜。另一个后果就是你错过了皮肤护理的最佳时段。夜间脸部皮肤中的血流量会增多,而且不会有其他什么影响护理产品的吸收。
2.Sleep On Your Back
躺着睡觉
Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds—a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists3 say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.
趴着睡觉是美容觉的大忌。头部平均重量是7-8磅——趴着的话对脸部可是不小的压力。不少皮肤科医生都说,他们能根据皱纹的数量判断这个人睡觉时脸朝向哪边。
3.Get a Lift
高枕无忧
Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2- to 4-inch pieces of wood. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.
枕两个枕头,或者把床的枕头区域垫高2-4寸。重力能促进淋巴和血液循环,如此体液就不会淤积一处。
4.Avoid Carb Face
避免水肿脸
To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner. Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. When our diet's high in glycemic carbohydrates4, our features take on a soft, doughy5 appearance.
如果想一觉起来,脸上不会水肿得像包子,晚饭就多吃高蛋白、低糖分的食物、不要吃米饭、面条和土豆。当饮食中有过多的生糖碳水化合物时,面部容易变得绵软而浮肿。
5.To minimize A.M. frizz
避免晨间头发蓬乱
sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf. Those fabrics6 are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction7.
睡在缎面枕头上,或者用丝巾把头发包起来。这些面料比棉柔软多了,可以减少摩擦。
6.Find Your Inner Ballerina
模仿芭蕾舞女演员
Pile hair into a twist on the top of your head. In the morning you'll have major volume and beautiful waves.
把头发在头顶扎成髻。早上起来就能看到蓬松而蜷曲的大波浪了。
