美化皮膚的五種方法
睡眠 睡眠太少會(huì)使你的皮膚看上去疲勞且無光澤, 所以, 除非萬不得已, 別熬夜;這樣可讓你的皮膚有機(jī)會(huì)得到松弛和恢復(fù)。
喝水 中央供暖、空調(diào)和飲水不足都會(huì)使你的皮膚看上去干燥--所以確保你每天按建議喝至少8杯水, 這樣從內(nèi)部給你的皮膚供水并起潔凈作用。
呼吸新鮮空氣 晴天, 輕快地散個(gè)步。這不僅會(huì)使你煥發(fā)活力, 而且能喚醒你的皮膚。別操心化妝了, 這樣可以讓你的皮膚透透氣--但得確保先抹上滋潤霜。
飲食 飲食應(yīng)含有適當(dāng)?shù)母黝惥S生素、礦物質(zhì)以及營養(yǎng)物--這些東西不僅有益健康, 而且也會(huì)使皮膚靚麗。每天都至少吃5份水果和蔬菜。
按摩 每周2次, 每次5分鐘。動(dòng)作要穩(wěn)準(zhǔn)但要輕柔, 由下往上、由里向外地全面進(jìn)行, 這有益于增強(qiáng)血液循環(huán), 減少浮腫, 使皮膚健康有光澤。
