If you do only three things to improve the look and feel of your skin, make them these three, agree several of our experts:
如果只要做三件事就能改善皮膚質量,令其無論是看上去還是摸起來都更棒,那么就做以下這三件事吧,它們可是經過專家認證的。
1. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. This helps flush toxins through your kidneys. Take these steps for a healthy complexion.
每天喝至少8盎司的水以保持肌膚的水分,這樣也有助于排出腎里面的毒素,讓你擁有健康的膚色。
2. Follow a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fish. When researchers from Monash University in Australia studied the diets of 453 people ages 70 and older from Australia, Greece, and Sweden to see if there was any correlation between what they ate and the number of wrinkles in their skin, they found those who ate the most fruits, vegetables, and fish had the fewest wrinkles. Conversely, the researchers found, foods high in saturated fat, including meat, butter, and full-fat dairy, as well as soft drinks, cakes, pastries, and potatoes, increased the likelihood of skin wrinkling.
安排健康的飲食,多吃水果,蔬菜和魚。澳大利亞莫那什大學的研究者為了證明日常飲食與皺紋多少之間的聯系,研究了453名來自澳大利亞、希臘和瑞典的70歲以上的老人的食譜。研究發現,日常飲食中,以水果、蔬菜、魚類為主的人的皺紋最少。相反,經常食用含有高脂的食物,如肉類、黃油、全脂牛奶、軟飲、蛋糕、甜點、土豆等會加速皮膚皺紋的生長。
3. Protect your skin from the sun all year round with a sunblock with an SPF of 30 or greater. Just because there's snow on the ground doesn't mean your skin can't be damaged by the sun, says Andrea Lynn Cambio, M.D., a New York City dermatologist. Time outdoors is time well spent, but be sure to keep your skin either well covered or well protected with sunblock. In particular, the sun is at its most damaging between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
常年使用SPF30或防曬系數更高的防曬霜來保護皮膚。來自紐約的皮膚病專家安德里亞·林恩·卡姆比奧,M.D表示,并不是說下雪天你的皮膚就不會受到陽光的刺激。戶外時光的確很美好,但應確保你的皮膚遠離陽光或者得到防曬產品的保護。特別需要注意,上午11點到下午3點之間的陽光對皮膚的刺激是最大的。
