CET6阅读：冬季护肤心得体会分享

If you live in a place where the mercury has dropped enough for snow to start falling, chances are you’re also starting to deal with “winter skin” right about now: cheeks are getting rough and dry, lips are chapping… and depending on the severity of the weather outside, skin can even flake, crack, or erupt into hives or eczema. This just isn’t a season that’s kind to skin at all. Fortunately, there are ways to combat the damage caused by freezing winds, snow, and hail, and a few of these handy techniques are listed below.
如果你生活的地方寒冷到会下雪，好好处理冬日肌肤问题的时刻来到了：面颊变得粗糙干燥，嘴唇开裂...而外面的严寒甚至会让皮肤成片脱落开裂，甚至引发荨麻疹和湿疹，冬季对皮肤可是个考验不少。好在我们有方法去对付由寒风、雪以及冰雹对皮肤造成的伤害，下面是几个简单的方法。

1. Change Your Moisturizer
1. 换保湿霜
The lightweight moisturizer you use in summertime isn’t going to cut it during the winter. To fend off cold damage to your skin in winter, opt for creams that have a heavier oil content, as the oils will create a protective layer on the skin’s surface. If you’re prone to breakouts, talk to an aesthetician or dermatologist who can recommend a cream that’s right for your skin type.
夏季使用的保湿霜比较轻薄，不足以对抗冬天的寒冷。天对皮肤的袭击，需要选择含油量多的乳液，这样油会在皮肤表面形成一个保护层。如果你是偏油性皮肤，那就咨询一下美容顾问或者皮肤科医生，他们会根据你的肤质，推荐合适的乳液。

Don’t forget that the skin on your entire body needs time of year: though you’ll see and feel the damage cold weather can cause to hands and feet (roughness, cracking around knuckles and cuticles, etc.) you might not notice dry patches on your legs or arms until they start to itch or flake. This is where the cocoa and shea butters come in: a good body lotion will replenish the moisture in your limbs as well as your cheeks, leaving you soft and supple all over.
可别忘了你全身的皮肤都需要在冬天进行特别护理哦！虽然你能看到寒冬对手脚带来的伤害（皮肤变粗糙了，指甲底部开裂等），但直到腿和胳膊发痒或有皮屑，你有可能才会注意到它们其实也干燥了。现在恒星油和乳木果油该上场了，好的身体乳液能像面颊保湿那样给身体四肢保持水分，让你全身都柔软细腻。

2. Sunscreen
2. 防晒霜
If you spend a lot of time outside, don’t forget to wear sunscreen! Your skin can be subjected to just as much UV damage in wintertime as in summer, so don’t hesitate to put on a layer of SPF 15 before putting on your makeup.
如果要花大量时间在户外活动，别忘了涂点防晒霜！皮肤在冬天受到的紫外线所以化妆之前别忘了抹上SPF15的防晒霜。

3. Exfoliate
3. 去角质
Gentle exfoliation once a week will help to remove dry, dead skin from your cheeks and forehead, but don’t go overboard with it! Your skin takes a lot of damage from the weather outside, and scouring it too much will actually increase wear and tear, and will do more harm than good.
每周做一次温和的去角质，能有效将面颊和额头的干燥死皮去除，了！外界的天气已经给你的皮肤带来了足够多的伤害，再要死命揉搓的话，损伤可就会更大了，只会是弊大于利。

For the rest of your body, a homemade exfoliant such as a salt or sugar scrub slough off dead skin cells and leave you soft and smooth all over.
至于身体的其他部分，用盐或糖自制的去角质霜对去除死皮有着神奇功效，让全身皮肤变得柔滑。

4. Wear Lip Balm
4. 涂上润唇膏
The skin on your lips is the thinnest and most sensitive on your entire body, so be sure to take proper care of them by protecting them from cold damage—that means you too, guys. It’s not a lot of fun to kiss someone whose lips are flaking apart like a dry old phone book. Aim for unflavoured lip balms with a carnauba or beeswax base and apply it regularly.
嘴唇是全身最脆弱和敏感的皮肤，所以要保证在寒冬给予他们足够的防护，男生们也需要哦。如果嘴唇干裂的像一本旧电话本，亲吻起来可不是什么美好的感受。使用不含香料的唇膏，其基本原料是巴西棕榈蜡或蜜蜡，可以经常使用。

It’s best to avoid using petroleum jelly as a lip balm, though; you really don’t want an oil industry by-product on your face, do you? Besides, petroleum jelly isn’t absorbed by the skin: it just sits on top of it, and can clog up pores rather thoroughly. Skin can’t absorb any moisture if it’s congested with oil slurry gel.
千万不要把凡士林当唇膏使用，你也不愿意把石油产业的副产品抹在脸上吧？另外，皮肤无法吸收凡士林，所以它只会呆在皮肤表面，完全堵塞毛孔。一旦毛孔被油腻腻的东西堵塞住，那么再也无法吸收其他的保湿品了。

5. Shorten Your Bath Time
5. 缩短洗澡时间
Have you ever gotten out of a hot bath after soaking for a while and realised that you were desperately thirsty? It’s likely because immersing yourself in hot water for long periods of time can actually deplete your body of moisture. Soaking in a hot bath can be absolutely blissful in this weather, but either try to keep your wallowing time to a minimum, or don’t make the water too hot. Scalding showers can also suck a fair bit of moisture out of you, so try to keep them short as well.
你有没有过洗完澡之后觉得自己超级渴的感受？这是因为长时间泡在热水中会带走身体里的水分。这个季节泡个热水澡的确十分惬意，但记住要么不要泡太久，要么水温不要太热。过烫的热水也会带走身上的水分，所以尽量缩短洗澡时间吧。

6. Stay Hydrated
6. 多喝水
Even though drinking water doesn’t moisturize your skin directly, it keeps your cells in top working order, which reflects in every area of your life—skin cells included. Flushing toxins out of your body with plenty of fluids will often keep you from breaking out as well.
尽管饮水不会直接保湿皮肤，但可以让你的细胞保持正常的工作状态，这就体现在你生活的方方面面，皮肤细胞也不例外啦。大量的液体可排出体内毒素，还可以让你时刻保持充沛的体力。

Taking just a couple of these precautions should make a significant difference in the health of your skin in winter. Eating properly and getting regular sleep will improve your overall well-being—which will be reflected in the state of your skin—and wearing proper outerwear such as gloves and scarves when traipsing about in the snow will help protect your skin from nose to toes.
只需要做到简简单单的这几步，你的皮肤在冬季继续保持健康。健康饮食，规律作息可以全面改善你的健康度，这当然也会反映在皮肤上。雪中漫步时，记得配好诸如手套和口罩这样的装备，将你的皮肤从头保护到脚。
