Skin Care

皮肤保养

常言道,好的皮肤靠保养。我们可以用冷热水交替洗脸,先用温水湿敷,后用冷水擦脸,这有助于减轻面部皮肤对低温的敏感性。洗脸时要少用香皂,尽可能用洗面奶。善用护肤手段。洗过脸后,搽用一些含油脂多的护肤化妆品,并按摩数分钟,以恢复由于冷空气刺激而变弱的皮肤弹性。做水果面膜是冬季润肤的好方法。饮食保养皮肤。多喝水是保持皮肤润滑柔软的首要前提,喝水量以每天8杯左右为宜。

Realize How to Take Care of the Skin

认识如何护理皮肤

1保养皮肤的方法

A healthy skin is a source of pleasure, not only to its owner but also to the one who looks at it。 You can become beautiful by following the right step。 What you need is the right source of information for cleaning and beauty tips that will help you highlight your natural beauty。

Since we always want to put our “best face forward” show to others, here are several suggestion that we compiled on how to properly take care your skin。

Cleaning is often the core of beautiful face。 Dirt, pollution, residual makeup, etc。 can cause havoc to the skin leading to skin ailments and even hastening of the aging process。 Use facial pore cleansers & scrubs when it comes to caring for your face。 Some skin care face cleansers can be considered harsh when it comes to your skin care。

Persevere in daily skin care。 The skin of the face needs even more attention than the rest of the body because the face has more oil glands, especially the central forehead, eye areas, nose and chin。 First decide the skin type you have and then find out what is the best way to look after your skin, and what products suit to you。 You don’t need to have a medicine cabinet full of creams, sample several and simply pick the best for you。

It is necessary to wear sunscreen products, even in the dead of winter you should never leave the house without some kind of sun protection。 And exfoliating is also very important, our skin regenerates cells about every three weeks, leading to an accumulation of dead cells。 Facials help get rid of them and making your skin look brighter and feel smoother。

Start today for a more refreshed and beautiful you。
