Strawberries
草莓
Yes, these berries are delicious, in all the forms. But you can also use them as a food beauty hack1. Well, you use them on your teeth! I know, this doesn't sound legit, especially on account of the fact that strawberries stain almost everything with their juice. But not your teeth! Even Hollywood stars like Halle Berry have been using this hack for years.
是的,草莓不管怎么吃都很美味。但草莓也可以用于食疗美容--美白牙齿!我知道,这听起来没什么道理,因为草莓会掉色,但草莓绝不会在牙齿上落色。即便是哈莉·贝瑞等好莱坞明星也一直用草莓美白牙齿。

Egg Whites
蛋清
Have you ever gotten egg white on the floor or table and then tried to wipe it up? Not only does it stick to everything, it also spreads better than it absorbs and as such, is very difficult to wipe up. But when it dries? Well, forget trying to clean it up! It becomes hard, caked on, and almost impossible to clean up, without getting it wet first anyhow. So that means it's also great at sticking to other things, and this is where the food beauty hack comes in.
你们家地板或桌子上有没有滴过蛋清,你是不是一看到就去擦了?蛋清不仅会粘在地上,而且其分散的速度也比擦拭的速度更快,所以很难擦干净。但蛋清干了又会如何?额,怎么擦都擦不干净!它会变得坚硬、结块,几乎很难清理,也很难再弄湿。所以,蛋清的粘性很好,这也是其美容原理所在。
You can use egg whites on your face, and you should really try it. Take egg whites only and scramble2 them for the most even and consistent consistency3. You can use paper towel strips, dip them into the egg whites, and use them across the bridge of your nose as pore strips. Lay the strip on your nose and let it dry. Completely peel it off and with it will come the blackheads. You can use it as a spot treatment, too, anywhere on your face you like.
你可以在脸上敷鸡蛋清,真的值得一试!只选取蛋清,而后搅拌至均匀状态。可以将洗脸巾浸入到蛋清中,然后将其静敷于鼻头上直至变干,以清除毛孔。揭开变干的洗脸巾,黑头就跟着一起祛除啦!蛋清还可以祛斑,可敷于脸上的任意部位。
Lemon Juice
柠檬汁
If you're a little hairy and you don't like to shave, then this is a waxing trick you must try. Use lemon juice and add sugar and water to it. Bring it to a boil in a saucepan on the stove, mixing constantly so the mixture becomes incorporated. Make sure to test the temperature so you don't burn yourself, but also know that the mixture is much easier to spread and use the warmer it is. Spread the "wax" in small sections and let dry. Once the wax is dry and cooled, pull it off, quickly.
如果你毛发茂盛且不喜刮毛,这一脱毛法尤为值得一试。在柠檬汁内加入糖和水,然后倒入平底锅煮沸。煮水的过程中需不停搅拌,使其充分融合。使用前试下温度,以免烫伤。但切记,温热情况下使用更易涂抹。少量涂抹该"脱毛剂",变干冷却后,快速揭开。
