Cotton T-shirts and gauzy skirts aren't the only things that feel flimsy when the temperature drops--a lightweight face lotion1 seems equally insubstantial.
当天气转冷时,不仅棉T恤和纱裙会显得太薄,脸上只擦一薄层润肤露也是不够的。
"Switch to a creamier face cleanser and moisturizer as soon as it starts getting cold," says Beverly Hills facialist Sonya Dakar. According to Audrey G. Kunin, an associate clinical instructor2 of dermatology at the University of Kansas School of Medicine "If you wait until your skin is cracked or irritated, it will be much harder to reverse the condition."
Beberly Hills美容院的美容师索耶·达克建议:“天气变冷的时候应该换用偏油性的洗面奶和保湿水。” 堪萨斯大学药学院皮肤学临床副讲师奥黛丽·G·库尼认为:“如果你等皮肤皲裂或者出现过敏反应再保护的话,就很难再改善皮肤的状况了。”
Exfoliating regularly also helps parched3 skin by both getting rid of flakes4 and allowing your moisturizer to penetrate5 more effectively.
定期做去死皮处理能够帮助改善干燥的皮肤,这不仅可以防止皮肤起皮,还可以使保湿水更充分地沁入皮肤深层。
1. Exfoliate 去死皮
In the morning, just splash with lukewarm (never hot) water. At night, massage6 a nickel-size blob of a milky7 cleanser over the face, and rinse8 thoroughly9 with warm water. Twice a week, exfoliate with a scrub containing soft, synthetic10 beads11. If rubbing irritates skin, try a gentle fruit-enzyme mask to dissolve flakes instead.
早上用温水(不要用热水)轻拍脸部。晚上,在脸上涂抹适量洗面奶,面积有五分硬币大小即可,然后用温水冲干净。每周做两次去死皮处理,用含有磨砂粒子的磨砂膏揉搓脸部。如果这样揉搓会刺激皮肤,就换用柔和的果酸面膜将死皮溶解。
2. Moisturize 保湿
Pat your face with a soft towel. While the skin is still damp, smooth a quarter-size scoop of moisturizer with hyaluronic acid or glycerin over the face and neck, paying special attention to the corners of the mouth and nose. At bedtime, apply an even richer formula: look for one with a blend of lipids such as squalene or ingredients like panthenol to seal moisture into the skin while you sleep.
用柔软的毛巾拍脸。脸未干时在脸和颈部涂抹四分之一勺含有透明质酸或甘油的保湿水,要特别注意嘴角和鼻翼的部分。睡前要采取更充分的保护:使用含有脂质和鲨烯或者泛醇类成分的保湿水,在你睡着的时候将水分锁住。
3. Fortify 加强防护
Eye and lip skin contain few oil glands, making it especially prone to dryness. Morning and night: Smooth on an eye cream beneath the lower lashes, tapping it lightly to blend. Repeat along the upper eyelids to the brow bone. Choose a lip balm with natural oils (but without any salicylic acid), and spread it all the way to the corners and rim, where cracking occurs.
眼睛和嘴唇部位油腺少,因此尤其容易干燥。每天早晚要在下睫毛下方涂抹眼霜,然后轻轻拍匀。再从上眼皮一直到眉骨的位置重复这一步骤。选择含有天然油脂(不含水杨酸)的润唇膏涂抹最容易干裂的嘴唇边缘和嘴角部位。
