3.保证睡眠
Sleep is essential for your energy, concentration and complexion.
睡眠对于人的精神、专注力和脸色都是至关重要的。
“At night, skin goes into a renewal state,” says Jeannette Graf, M.D., an assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Medical Center. “Not only does it repair itself, but there’s also a difference in its pH and circulation so anti-aging products penetrate better.”
医学博士、纽约大学医学中心皮肤学助理教授珍妮特·格拉芙说:“深夜里,皮肤进入了自我更新的状态,它不仅自我修复,而且酸碱度和血液循环和白天不同,更加适宜抗衰老产品深入作用。”

Skin solution: To get enough sleep, follow these tips:
皮肤保养大法:要获得充足睡眠的话,请谨记以下几点:
Count back 7-8 hours from when you need to get up in the morning – then stick to that bedtime.
将第二天起床时间往前推算7至8小时上床睡觉,保持睡眠时间固定。
Make your bedroom dark, cool and quiet.
卧室要尽量黑一些、冷一些、安静一些。
Turn off the TV and computer at least half an hour before bed; their lights can reduce your body’s production of the sleep hormone melatonin.
在上床睡觉前至少半小时就把电视或电脑关闭,因为电子产品的灯光会降低体内睡眠荷尔蒙褪黑素的生成。
Create a mellow nighttime ritual, such as sipping a cup of tea, rubbing lavender oil on your feet or listening to relaxing tunes.
营造一个柔和的夜晚气氛,比如慢慢地喝茶、把薰衣草油抹在脚上或者听一些放松的轻音乐。
