How to prepare your skin 如何護(hù)理您的皮膚？
Many Western women do not wear make-up or simply use a quick application of mascara and lip gloss. Why?
很多西方女性不用化妝品或者只是快速地涂上睫毛膏和唇膏。這是為什么呢？
The answer of the majority of women is "because I don't know what to do". Very few might say that they look great without make-up.
大多數(shù)女性的回答是：“因?yàn)槲也恢涝撛趺醋觯?rdquo;幾乎沒有人敢說他們即使不化妝仍然看起來很棒。
Are you really sure? Imagine your favourite, adorable model or celebrity. Even the most gorgeous looking leading ladies always wear make-up to look great. You will never see them without make-up on the red carpet. You too can look great by wearing the right make-up.
你真的很肯定有人不化妝也能很棒嗎？想像一下您最喜歡的和最崇拜的名人或者模特，其實(shí)，即使是那些看起來極其漂亮的女士也總是化妝后才會(huì)看起來如此的棒。您永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)看到他們不化妝走在紅地毯上的模樣。通過合適的化妝，您也能讓人眼前一亮！
To achieve great results from make-up, it is vitally important to prepare your skin properly. Without preparation, you cannot expect it to look good with only "cheaty" make-up.
為了達(dá)到化妝的出色效果，適當(dāng)?shù)刈o(hù)理您的皮膚十分重要。如果沒有對(duì)皮膚作適當(dāng)?shù)淖o(hù)理，永遠(yuǎn)都不要希望僅僅通過“欺騙性的”化妝來達(dá)到良好的效果。
Skip this process and you will never achieve good results, no matter how much you struggle with expensive foundation and concealer.
如果忽略皮膚護(hù)理這一步，無論您用多昂貴的粉底或者遮瑕膏,您都永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)得到良好的化妝效果。
Spend an extra five minutes in the morning and ten minutes before bedtime.
在清晨花上5分鐘，晚上睡覺前花上10分鐘，按照以下方法進(jìn)行皮膚護(hù)理即可。
1) Wash your face 洗臉
Always wash your face with fresh, running, lukewarm water. Take off your make-up with wipes, but don't stop there.
Although you cannot see it with bare eyes, your skin pores gradually build up dirt and collect the remains of make-up. Over time, this will cause skin problems.
要用流動(dòng)的溫水洗臉，再用濕巾擦去化妝品。雖然您用肉眼看不見這些化妝品，但是您的皮膚上的毛孔里會(huì)逐漸堆積一些臟東西，積聚化妝品的殘留物。
2) Choose your face wash carefully 認(rèn)真挑選合適的洗面用品
Dry skin, oily skin or combination skin? Don't just grab anything from your mother's or flatmate's cabinet.
Test your skin by stroking it with your fingers. If it feels a bit rough and bumpy, apricot scrub could be a great solution.
您的皮膚是干性、油性，還是混合性？不要隨意抓上您母親或者室友的洗面用品就用。用手指撫摸面部對(duì)您的皮膚進(jìn)行測(cè)試，如果感覺有點(diǎn)粗糙和凹凸不平，那么，磨砂潔面膏是很好的選擇。
3) Use toner 使用柔膚水
After rinsing off your face with clean water, give a generous splash of toner. Gently tap your skin with the palms of your hands (no slapping).
Your skin needs both, fluid and moisture, no matter which season. Use toner and moisturiser to balance your skin into good condition.
用干凈的溫水洗過臉之后，要拍打上柔膚水。用手掌輕輕拍打皮膚（不能使勁?。?。
無論在哪個(gè)季節(jié)，您的皮膚都需要化妝水和保濕液。使用柔膚水和保濕液平衡皮膚，使其一直處于良好的狀態(tài)！
4) Use the right amount of moisturiser 使用適量的保濕液
Put just the right amount of moisturiser onto the palms of your hands, smear it all over by rubbing both hands against each other, then cover your face with your hands. This will allow you to spread the moisturiser evenly.
Use your finger tips around the eyes and nose. Dub delicately.
將適量的保濕液倒入手掌中，兩手相對(duì)進(jìn)行揉搓，使其覆蓋雙手，將手放到臉上，使保濕液均勻地覆蓋整個(gè)面部。
在眼和鼻的部位，用指尖輕揉涂抹。
Feel to check if your skin is absorbing the moisturiser: If your skin still feels greasy after 5 minutes, you are putting on too much. If your skin feels dry or pulls, you are not using enough moisturiser.
If you have spots or sensitive skin, don't be afraid to touch your face. Your skin needs help, not neglect. You might think the less you touch the better, but this does not mean that you cannot do anything about problem areas.
檢查一下皮膚是否完全吸收。如果5分鐘后皮膚仍然感覺油膩，說明保濕液用量過多；如果皮膚感覺發(fā)干或者有緊繃感，說明保濕液用量不足。
如果皮膚上有斑點(diǎn)或者您是過敏性皮膚，不要怕碰著您的臉。您的皮膚需要幫助，而不是忽視不管。也許您認(rèn)為越少碰您的臉越好，但是，這并不等于您對(duì)臉部的問題區(qū)域什么也不做。
If a huge, ripe spot is staring at you, my advice is to pop it. Then immediately apply disinfectant spot formula (available at your chemist's).
Make-up cannot hide something sticking out of your skin (in pictures, you will see the unpleasant shadows of spots), but you can hide flat, "used-to-be-spot" areas with concealer.
如果您的臉上有一大塊成熟斑，我建議您將之去除。然后立即涂上消毒去斑藥（藥店有售）。
化妝并不能掩蓋您臉部皮膚上突出的東西（在照片上，您能看到令人不快的這些斑點(diǎn)的陰影），但是，您能用遮瑕膏掩蓋臉部皮膚上平的已去斑的區(qū)域。
Sensitive skin needs more attention. The right balance of toning and moisturising often solves the problem. The process is the same, but be sure to use products for sensitive skin.
敏感性皮膚需要特別注意，正確地平衡使用柔膚水和保濕液常常能夠解決這個(gè)問題。其使用方法與前面介紹的一樣，只是要注意選用敏感性皮膚專用產(chǎn)品。
People with oily skin are often tempted to forget about their moisturiser, which is a big mistake. The skin is designed to produce grease to keep it moist - nature's work. The more you neglect your oily skin, the more greasy it will get, creating a breeding ground for other problems such as spots, open pores and blackheads.
Your skin always needs tender, loving care - every day and throughout the year, not just during the cold months.
油性皮膚的人常常會(huì)“忘記”使用保濕液，這是皮膚保養(yǎng)的大忌。皮膚出油的目的是為了使其自身保持濕潤(rùn)－－皮膚的本能反應(yīng)。您對(duì)自己的油性皮膚越是忽略不管，不進(jìn)行護(hù)理，臉上的油就會(huì)越多，這為長(zhǎng)斑、毛孔變粗以及出現(xiàn)黑頭等臉部皮膚問題創(chuàng)造了有利條件。
您的皮膚一直都需要精心的護(hù)理－－不僅僅在寒冷的季節(jié)才進(jìn)行護(hù)理，全年的每一天都需要護(hù)理！
