1.早些洗脸
1.Get an Early Start
养成睡觉前几小时就洗脸的好习惯。如果等到困了再洗,很可能将会搞砸了美容大计,会让“毒素和污垢将会残留一整晚”,纽约皮肤科专家劳瑞·波里斯提醒道。此外,你也错过了保养的最佳时间。夜晚的时候,皮肤表层供血充足,是皮肤吸收养分的大好时机。
Make a habit of washing your face a few hours before bed. If you wait until you're tired, you're more likely to blow it off — allowing "toxins and dirt to stay on there all night," says dermatologist Laurie Polis of N.Y.C. Another consequence? You miss the best time to treat your skin. At night there's more blood flow to the skin's surface, and there's nothing else on your face to interfere with absorption.
2. 平躺入睡
2. Sleep on Your Back
给赫本迷的小贴士: 趴着睡觉可是不会变漂亮的哦。人的头部一般重达7-8磅。趴着睡的话,将对脸部造成巨大的压力。事实上,很多皮肤科专家指出可以从一个人脸上的皱纹量看出其睡觉时脸部的朝向。
Note to Audrey Hepburn fans: Lying on your stomach is bad for "beauty sleep." The average head weighs 7 to 8 pounds — a lot of pressure to be putting on your face every night. In fact, many dermatologists say they can tell what side of the face people sleep on by the number of wrinkles there.
3. 枕高来睡
3. Get a Lift
睡觉的时候,用两个枕头或是2-4寸的木头将头靠处垫高。一定的重力可以促进淋巴及血液流动,不致阻塞。
Sleep with your head elevated on two pillows, or put the headrest area of your bed on 2- to 4-inch pieces of wood. Gravity helps lymph and blood flow so fluid won't accumulate.
4. 省得了钱却少不了皱纹
4. Save Money, Not Wrinkles
晚上的时候就不用担心眼霜把妆弄花了。所以尽可以把最昂贵的眼霜往眼周上抹。波里斯强烈推荐凡士林:“它可以有效滋润睫毛,为眼部肌肤补水。”
At night you don't need to worry about eye treatments smearing your makeup, so slather on the richest formula you can. Polis swears by Aquaphor: "It conditions lashes and hydrates the delicate eye skin really well."
5. 睡觉也可以拥有古铜肌
5. Sneak a Glow
在晚霜中加入一滴仿晒乳或者使用含有仿晒DHA 的乳液。
Mix a drop of self-tanner into your night cream or use a cream that contains a bit of tan-producing DHA.
6. 不要包子脸
6. Avoid Carb Face
想要醒来的时候脸是瘦瘦的?那么晚餐时就要多吃高蛋白,低糖的食物(如鲑鱼和芦笋,芦笋是天然的利尿剂),少吃米饭,面食和土豆。“当饮食中的碳水化合物含量过高,我们就容易变成包子脸。”康涅狄格州皮肤科医生尼古拉斯·派瑞科恩说。
To wake with defined cheekbones, eat a high-protein, low-sugar dinner (try salmon and asparagus, a natural diuretic). Skip the rice, pasta and potatoes. "When our diet's high in glycemic carbohydrates, our features take on a soft, doughy appearance," says Connecticut dermatologist Nicholas Perricone.
7. 把头发包起来
7. Wrap It Up
早晨起来头发乱糟糟?不希望如此的话,睡觉的时候最好选用锻制的枕套,或是将头发用丝巾包起来。这些材料都要比棉质的来的更软,因此造成的摩擦比较小。
To minimize A.M. frizz, sleep on a satin pillowcase or put your hair in a silk scarf. Those fabrics are much softer than cotton, so there's less friction.
8. 做芭蕾舞睡美人
8. Find Your Inner Ballerina
睡觉时把头发盘至头顶(使用头花避免卷边)到了早上,你就可以拥有漂亮的大卷了。
Pile hair into a twist on the top of your head (use a scrunchie to avoid crimping). In the morning you'll have major volume and beautiful waves.
9. 护发素很需要
9. Turn on the Hair Conditioning
把头发弄湿,上好护发素后再上床睡觉。推荐使用Philip B 的中东修复发膜,但是其他滋润的护发素也是可以的。起床后记得洗干净。
Sleep with a moisturizing treatment in damp hair overnight. We like Philip B. Katira Hair Masque, but any rich conditioner will do. Rinse in the morning.
