 　　My Beauty Regimen

　　我的养颜之道
　　Every morning: In my bathroom cabinet you will find facial cleanser to cleanse 1 my skin every morning and night together with a facial toner. In the mornings, I wash my face using the cleanser and rinse 2 it off with a flannel 3 or face cloth. I then wipe my face with the toner using a cotton pad. I use a day moisturiser with SPF30. Sometimes, if I am not too lazy, I will use an eye cream and apply small dots around the eye area and gently rub the cream in. Any help to smooth out those wrinkles are always welcome!! My face is now ready to have make up applied 4 to it.
　　每天早晨：我的卫生间柜子里有每天早晚洗脸用的洗面奶，和爽肤水。早上，我先用洗面奶洗脸，再用绒布毛巾或方巾洗净。之后取一块化妆棉涂上爽肤水。每天我都会涂上防晒指数SPF30的保湿面霜。没偷懒的时候我会使用眼霜，用手将眼霜轻点在眼周，轻轻摩擦帮助面霜吸收。任何对抚平皱纹有帮助的程序总是受欢迎的！现在，我已经准备好上妆了。
　　Every night: I use baby oil to remove my eye make up at night. I used to buy eye make-up remover but found that baby oil is just as good and cheaper. I dab 5 my cotton pad in the oil and gently wipe my eyes. I then apply my facial cleanser using my fingers,massage my face and rinse off all the day’s dirt and make-up using my flannel. After I have wiped my face with the toner, I apply my night cream which will nourish and repair my skin overnight and once again if I can be bothered, I will apply the eye cream. Then it’s bed time!
　　每天晚上：我用婴儿油卸眼妆。以前我会用专门的眼部卸妆油，但是婴儿油一样好用而且更便宜。将化妆棉蘸上油，轻轻地擦拭眼部即可。之后使用洗面奶，用手指按摩脸部，再用毛巾洗净一天的灰尘和脸上的化妆品。涂过爽肤水之后，我会使用晚霜，让皮肤在夜间得到营养并修复。当然如果我不嫌麻烦的话会使用眼霜的。之后就可以睡觉啦！
　　Every week: I try to remember to do this every week for I know that I should exfoliatemy skin once a week with a good facial scrub. Exfoliation is very good to remove dead skin and to rejuvenate 6 our complexion 7. There are different products that you can use. I personally prefer using a product with granules. As the granules rub against my skin I feel the dirt coming off!
　　每周：每周我都会用磨砂膏给皮肤去角质，因为这是必须的。去角质可以有效地去除死皮，恢复健康的肤色。有很多产品都可以去角质。我个人比较喜欢有颗粒的，当颗粒在脸上摩擦时，我觉得脏东西都被洗掉了！
　　When I have the time and there is a good radio programme on I might use a facial mask. The mask allows for deep cleansing 8 of the skin. I apply it with my fingers, leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse it off thoroughly 9. It’s very important to apply the mask on already cleansed 10 skin.
　　空余时间有好的之声节目时，我会敷面膜。面膜可以深层清洁。用手指将面膜涂在脸上，停留20分钟再完全洗净。记住，一定要在洗脸之后再敷面膜。
　　Occasionally: I would have a facial once a month at my beauty salon 11. The facial is a wonderful way of thoroughly cleansing your skin. I used to love my monthly sessions as it was a real luxury to lie for an hour and a half while someone pampered 12 you.
　　偶尔：每个月我会去美容院做一次美容。这是清洁皮肤的好方法。我一直很享受每月一次的美容过程，躺上一个半小时，还有人为你服务可真够奢侈的。
　　My Make Up
　　我的妆容
　　Now for the make-up. I don’t use a lot of make up. It is certainly a lot less than when I was younger. I remember that I used to “cake on” the make-up when I was a teenager. It was a must to experiment with every colour. When I look back at some photos now, I scare myself.
　　现在谈到化妆。我的化妆品不多。年轻的时候化得就更少了。我记得自己还是个小女生的时候，把化妆品像抹奶油一样涂在脸上，那时候必须要什么颜色都试验一下。当我回看那时的照片时，常常会被自己吓到。
　　Face: I used to wear foundation but not anymore. Now I use a bronzer to give myself that suntanned look. I use a big make-up brush to apply the bronzer all over my face, neck and decollete. Some women also use a concealer or primer to hide spots and flaws or blemishes 13 of the skin.
　　脸：之前我会抹粉底，但现在不了。现在我用美黑膏，让自己拥有小麦肤色。我用化妆刷将美黑膏刷在脸、脖子和前胸上。一些女性会使用遮瑕膏或者妆前液将脸上的斑点或瑕疵遮住。
　　Eyes: After that I apply a light eye shadow with a small brush on my eyelids 14. I use apencil eyeliner (rather than a liquid eyeliner) and apply it below my eye. Sometimes I will apply it above the eye but only if I want to create a dramatic effect (which is rare). I then use mascara.
　　眼睛：之后我会用小刷子在眼睑上刷一层淡色眼影。用眼线笔（而不是眼线液）在眼睛下面画上眼线。只有想要眼妆夸张一点的时候，我才会在眼睛上面也画上眼线。最后涂上睫毛膏。
　　There are so many types of mascara ranging from volumising, lash 15 defining, waterproof 16, lengthening 17 and curling to name but a few. I use a lengthening and curling mascara.I don’t have long eyelashes so I need all the help I can get with mascara. Some women use eyelash curlers to enhance their eyelashes. I’ve never used them.
　　睫毛膏种类繁多，有丰盈、定型、防水、加长、卷翘等等功效的。我用的是加长和卷翘效果的。我的睫毛不长，所以需要睫毛膏的帮助。有些女性会用睫毛夹让睫毛更卷翘，但我从没用过。
　　Lips: Finally I deal with the lips. I like to use a lipliner to give my lips definition. I know that the older I get the more definition my lips need! After that, I will apply lipstick 18 or lipgloss depending on what mood I am in. I like to use neutral shades of colour. I like lipgloss in the summer and lipstick in the winter. I sometimes have to use a lip balm to protect my lips from the cold as they can get chapped. A lot of lipsticks 19 have a protectivelip balm in them.
　　唇部：终于讲到唇部了。我喜欢用唇线笔将唇部轮廓勾勒出来。我知道年纪越大我就越需要使用唇线笔。至于使用口红还是唇彩则要看我的心情了。我比较喜欢中性一点的颜色。夏天喜欢用唇彩，冬天用口红。有时候我会涂润唇膏保护我的双唇，防止皲裂。很多口红都有护唇膏成分。
