晒伤皮肤和色素沉着

Hyper-pigmentation happens when the skin has an overproduction of melanin, which in turn causes dark spots to appear on the skin.

当皮肤产生过多的黑色素时，色素沉着就会发生，而色素沉着又会导致皮肤上出现黑斑。

melanin ['melənɪn]：n.黑色素

To make: Mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with honey, apply with fingertips, leave for five minutes, rinse gently and pat dry.

制作方法：将鲜榨柠檬汁和蜂蜜混合，用指尖涂抹，静置5分钟，轻轻冲洗干净，拍干。

This treatment can help lighten the dark spots on the skin naturally as lemon juice effectively bleaches them, while the honey acts as a skin conditioner to soften and soothe the area.

这种疗法可以帮助自然地减轻皮肤上的黑斑，因为柠檬汁可以有效地淡化斑点，而蜂蜜可以作为一种皮肤调节剂来软化和舒缓受损区域。

暗沉、疲劳的肌肤

While our skin sheds millions of dead skin cells a day, some will naturally fall off with ease, but others may not.

虽然我们的皮肤每天会脱落数以百万计的死皮细胞，但有些细胞会自然脱落，有些则不会。

To avoid dull, grey, and tired-looking skin it’s important to exfoliate regularly. This natural honey-oat mask will help remove those dead skin cells whilst hydrating the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and brighter.

为了避免皮肤暗沉、灰白和看起来疲倦，定期去角质是很重要的。这款天然蜂蜜燕麦面膜可以帮助去除死皮细胞，同时滋润肌肤，让肌肤柔软、光滑、明亮。

制作方法：将一个蛋黄和两汤匙蜂蜜，以及三汤匙磨细的燕麦混合。

Mix into a thick paste and apply in upward strokes over face, relax for 20 minutes and rinse off with warm/tepid water, before gently patting dry.

将其混合成浓稠的糊状物，由下至上涂抹于面部，放松20分钟，用温水冲洗干净，然后轻轻拍干。

自然丰满的嘴唇

As we age, our lips become thinner - this is because over time the collagen and hyaluronic acid production slows down. This usually begins to happen in our late 20’s to early 30’s.

随着年龄的增长，我们的嘴唇会变薄——这是因为随着时间的推移，胶原蛋白和透明质酸的生成会减慢。这通常发生在我们三十岁左右时。

However, the below lip plumping solution can help to give you fuller lips in minutes, using a combination of natural ingredients.

然而，下面的丰唇液使用自然成分的组合，可以帮助你在几分钟内让嘴唇更丰满。

To make: Simply mix one teaspoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of cayenne pepper with one teaspoon of clear honey.

Apply to the lips, leaving on for five minutes. You may experience a tingling sensation which is normal. Rinse off gently and enjoy fuller lips the natural way!

涂在嘴唇上，停留5分钟。可能会有一种刺痛感，这是正常的。轻轻地冲洗干净，用自然的方式享受丰盈的嘴唇。

脱水的皮肤

There are many reasons our skin can become dry and dehydrated - the weather, air conditioning, not drinking enough water, and general lifestyle factors play a huge role in this.

皮肤干燥脱水有很多原因——天气、空调、饮水不足，以及一般的生活方式因素都有可能导致这一问题。

Giving your skin an extreme dose of hydration will help keep it healthy, and glowing.

给你的皮肤充分补水将有助于保持皮肤健康，使你容光焕发。

The health benefits of papaya are endless and it works wonders on the skin as a mask. It’s also rich in healing enzymes and can help to calm irritated skin.
