9 Tips to Keep Your Skin Looking Young(part 2)
Updated August 5, 2019
Limit midday sun
限制正午晒太阳时间
Limit time spent outdoors when the sun is at its peak, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
限制太阳紫外线最强烈时的户外时间,通常从上午10点到下午4点之间。
Wear protective clothing
穿防晒服
Consider tightly woven fabrics, wide-brimmed hats, and wrap-around sunglasses with UV protection. A wet T-shirt at the beach offers practically no UV protection.
考虑紧密编织的织物,宽边帽子和防紫外线的太阳镜。在海滩上穿的湿T恤几乎不能防紫外线。
Don't tan on purpose
不要故意晒黑
There's no such thing as a healthy "base" tan. All tanning, whether from the sun or a tanning bed, is a sign of skin damage. Not only does it increase your risk for skin cancer, it also can eventually make skin wrinkly and leathery.
根本没有所谓益于健康的晒黑。所有的晒黑,无论是来自太阳还是日光浴床,都是皮肤损伤的标志。它不仅会增加患皮肤癌的风险,而且最终会使皮肤起皱、粗糙。
Kick the habit
戒掉抽烟习惯
Another important step in keeping your skin healthy and young looking is not smoking. Cigarette smoking can cause skin discoloration and premature wrinkling.
保持皮肤健康和年轻的另一个重要步骤是不要吸烟。吸烟会导致皮肤变色和过早起皱。
Stay hydrated
保持水分
Keep your skin moist to diminish fine wrinkles and prevent skin from cracking or flaking. Limit showers to no more than five to 10 minutes, and use warm instead of hot water. Hot water removes natural oils from the skin more quickly.
保持皮肤湿润,减少细纹,防止皮肤开裂或剥落。淋浴时间限制在5到10分钟以内,用温水代替热水。热水能更快地去除皮肤上的天然油脂。
Seal in moisture
锁住水分
While in the shower, choose a mild, fragrance-free soap that moisturizes. After you're done, pat skin dry with a towel. Then, within three minutes, apply a moisturizer to seal in moisture. Moisturizers work best when the skin is still damp.
淋浴时,选择温和、无香味、保湿的肥皂。洗完后,用毛巾拍干皮肤。然后,在三分钟内,涂上保湿霜以锁住水分。保湿霜在皮肤仍然潮湿的时候效果最好。
Eat a healthy diet and drink water
健康饮食,喝水
Eat healthy and stay hydrated. Drinking adequate amounts of fluids and getting proper nutrition (rich in antioxidants) also help keep skin hydrated and healthy.
健康饮食,保持水分。喝足量的液体和获得适当的营养(富含抗氧化剂)也有助于保持皮肤水分和健康。
