Cotton T-shirts and gauzy skirts aren't the only things that feel flimsy when the temperature drops--a lightweight face lotion seems equally insubstantial.
當天氣轉冷時,不僅棉T恤和紗裙會顯得太薄,臉上只擦一薄層潤膚露也是不夠的。
"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 instructor 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美容院的美容師索耶·達克建議:"天氣變冷的時候應該換用偏油性的洗面奶和保濕水。" 堪薩斯大學藥學院皮膚學臨床副講師奧黛麗·G·庫尼認為:"如果你等皮膚皸裂或者出現過敏反應再保護的話,就很難再改善皮膚的狀況了。"
Exfoliating regularly also helps parched skin by both getting rid of flakes and allowing your moisturizer to penetrate more effectively.
定期做去死皮處理能夠幫助改善干燥的皮膚,這不僅可以防止皮膚起皮,還可以使保濕水更充分地沁入皮膚深層。
1. Exfoliate
去死皮
In the morning, just splash with lukewarm (never hot) water. At night, massage a nickel-size blob of a milky cleanser over the face, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Twice a week, exfoliate with a scrub containing soft, synthetic beads. If rubbing irritates skin, try a gentle fruit-enzyme mask to dissolve flakes instead.
早上用溫水(不要用熱水)輕拍臉部。晚上,在臉上涂抹適量洗面奶,面積有五分硬幣大小即可,然后用溫水沖干凈。每周做兩次去死皮處理,用含有磨砂粒子的磨砂膏揉搓臉部。如果這樣揉搓會刺激皮膚,就換用柔和的果酸面膜將死皮溶解。
2. Moisturize
保濕
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.
用柔軟的毛巾拍臉。臉未干時在臉和頸部涂抹四分之一勺含有透明質酸或甘油的保濕水,要特別注意嘴角和鼻翼的部分。睡前要采取更充分的保護:使用含有脂質和鯊烯或者泛醇類成分的保濕水,在你睡著的時候將水分鎖住。
3. Fortify
加強防護
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,然后輕輕拍勻。再從上眼皮一直到眉骨的位置重復這一步驟。選擇含有天然油脂(不含水楊酸)的潤唇膏涂抹最容易干裂的嘴唇邊緣和嘴角部位。
