如何簡(jiǎn)化你的美容程序
Yes, there are more important things to worry about than your roots showing, ragged manicures, hair stubble, split ends, or perfectly groomed eyebrows. But in times of great crises and stressful situations, it's 100% normal and okay and necessary to practice self-care — in whatever form that works for you.
是的,有比你的發(fā)根暴露、不整齊的指甲、留茬、分叉或精心修飾的眉毛更重要的事情需要擔(dān)心。但在重大危機(jī)和緊張的情況下,練習(xí)自我照顧是100%正常的、好的和必要的——以任何適合你的形式。

Some may find gardening soothing, while others find solace in forest-bathing or simply resting in a city park (six feet away from anyone else, we hope). But if your self-care routine consists of pampering your skin, hair, nails, and body, by all means, pamper it up.
有些人可能會(huì)覺得園藝是一種安慰,而另一些人則會(huì)在森林里沐浴或在城市公園里休息(我們希望離其他人6英尺遠(yuǎn))。但是如果你的自我護(hù)理包括縱容你的皮膚、頭發(fā)、指甲和身體,那就一定要縱容它。
If you're able to receive deliveries from a CSA, take advantage of all the wonderful spring produce coming in. Supporting your local farmers and small businesses, while also treating yourself to an organic, fresh-from-the-fridge face mask, is a win-win for everyone.
如果你能收到來自CSA的發(fā)貨,利用所有美妙的春季產(chǎn)品。支持你當(dāng)?shù)氐霓r(nóng)民和小企業(yè),同時(shí)也給自己一個(gè)從冰箱里剛拿出來的有機(jī)口罩,這對(duì)每個(gè)人都是雙贏的。

Hair
頭發(fā)
Out of shampoo? If you don't have any shampoo bars stashed away, try making your own with baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Or, if you're lucky enough to be working from home, so why not go with the greasy hair for a month and see what happens?
洗發(fā)水用完了?如果你沒有多余的洗發(fā)水,試著用小蘇打和蘋果醋自己制作?;蛘?,如果你很幸運(yùn)是在家工作,為什么不留著油膩的頭發(fā)一個(gè)月看看會(huì)發(fā)生什么呢?
Dry shampoo
干燥的洗發(fā)水
Dry shampoos have become especially popular, and are great when you're trying to cut back on shampooing and styling every day. However, drugstore brands can contain toxic ingredients like talc, propane, limonene, geraniol, and hormone-disrupting parabens. They also come in the environmental disaster that is aerosol cans. Make your own with cornstarch and a couple drops of your favorite essential oil (I like lavender and lemon). If you're worried about the white powder showing up, try adding cinnamon, clove, or cocoa powder to better blend in.
干香波變得特別流行,當(dāng)你試圖減少每天洗頭和做造型的時(shí)候,干香波是很好的選擇。然而,藥店的牌子可能含有有毒成分,如滑石粉、丙烷、檸檬烯、香葉醇和干擾激素的苯甲酸酯。它們還帶來了環(huán)境災(zāi)難,那就是氣溶膠罐。用玉米淀粉和幾滴你最喜歡的精油(我喜歡薰衣草和檸檬)自己做。如果你擔(dān)心會(huì)出現(xiàn)白色粉末,可以嘗試加入肉桂、丁香或可可粉來更好地混合。
Lips
嘴唇
Lip scrubs are a great way to slough off dead skin and keep your lips feeling moistened and fresh. Simply grab whatever sugar you have on hand, combine it with coconut or olive oil, and gently massage on your lips. If you accidentally ingest some, no worries, but try not to lick it off, as that can aggravate dried skin. Try this recipe for brown sugar vanilla lip scrub.
唇部磨砂膏是去除死皮的好方法,讓你的嘴唇感覺滋潤(rùn)和新鮮。用你手邊的任何糖,和椰子油或橄欖油混合,輕輕按摩在嘴唇上。如果你不小心吞下了一些,不用擔(dān)心,但是盡量不要舔掉,那樣會(huì)加劇皮膚干燥。試試紅糖香草唇部磨砂膏的配方。
Face
面部
Time to open up the fridge. Got yogurt, avocado, organic mayonnaise, or banana? You can make wonderfully moisturizing face masks with ingredients that are on their last leg. Add brown sugar, finely ground oatmeal, baking soda, or almond meal to any of your facial cleansers for an all-natural, gently abrasive scrub.
是時(shí)候打開冰箱了。有酸奶、鱷梨、有機(jī)蛋黃醬或香蕉嗎?你可以用快用完的成分制作保濕面膜。在任何一種洗面奶中加入紅糖、磨碎的燕麥片、小蘇打或杏仁粉,形成純天然的溫和磨砂。
Body
身體
While you're letting your hair mask and face mask soak in, go ahead and put your whole body in an epsom salt bath. Made up of magnesium and sulfate, epsom salts are wonderful for treating body aches, removing splinters, and volumizing your hair naturally. There is also no end to sugar or salt body scrub recipes, too. Try this banana sugar body scrub.
當(dāng)你讓你的發(fā)膜和面膜浸泡的時(shí)候,把你的整個(gè)身體放在瀉鹽浴中。瀉鹽由鎂和硫酸鹽組成,對(duì)治療身體疼痛、去除刺屑和自然蓬松頭發(fā)有很好的效果。用糖或鹽擦洗身體的方法也沒完沒了。試試這款香蕉糖身體磨砂膏。
Nails
指甲
I'm ashamed to admit I was a chronic nail-biter during most of my childhood and teens (and maybe my 20s, too). The only way I could stop myself was occasionally indulging in a professional manicure. But, I didn't like the process, with all the chemicals being breathed in by customers and workers alike, and the monthly costs add up quickly. Plus, if you're not used to it, manicures can really hurt. Now, I try to keep it very low-key: metal clippers and a file, a bit of beeswax balm on my cuticles, and if I really want to, a pop of color with these vegan, cruelty-free, PETA-certified, and made-in-the-USA nail polishes.
我很慚愧地承認(rèn),在我的童年和青少年時(shí)期(也許20多歲的時(shí)候也是),我經(jīng)常咬指甲。我能阻止自己的唯一方法是偶爾做一次專業(yè)美甲。但是,我不喜歡這個(gè)過程,顧客和工人都吸入了所有的化學(xué)物質(zhì),每月的成本迅速增加。另外,如果你不習(xí)慣,美甲真的會(huì)很疼?,F(xiàn)在,我試著保持低調(diào):用金屬剪刀和銼刀,在我的表皮上涂一點(diǎn)蜂蠟膏,如果我真的想的話,用這些素食主義者,不殘忍的,petta認(rèn)證的,美國制造的指甲油來點(diǎn)顏色。
Makeup
化妝
This is where most of the chemicals are hiding, and it can be difficult to go cold turkey on lipstick, foundation, or mascara. If you can't bear tossing them out, find new ways to use up what you've got, rather than buying more. Got some lipsticks that are almost used up? Mash them up with a little coconut oil in a small container. Instant lip balm! If you're feeling extra-crafty, Katherine recommends making your own lip balm with beet juice, bronzer out of cocoa powder, or homemade mascara from kohl powder bought in bulk.
這是大部分化學(xué)物質(zhì)隱藏的地方,要一下子戒掉口紅、粉底或睫毛膏是很困難的。如果你不能忍受扔掉它們,尋找新的方法來使用你已經(jīng)擁有的,而不是買更多。你的唇膏快用完了嗎?在一個(gè)小容器里用一點(diǎn)椰子油把它們搗碎。即時(shí)唇膏!如果你覺得自己特別聰明,凱瑟琳建議用甜菜汁制作自己的唇膏,用可可粉制作古銅色化妝品,或者用批量購買的眼影粉制作自己的睫毛膏。
Makeup removal
卸妝
You don't need to buy special wipes that are tossed in the trash after one use. Buy some soft cloths (flannel, fleece, or muslin) that you can throw in the laundry with the rest of your clothes. Oil (coconut, olive, or sweet almond) does a great job cleaning the skin, and is especially gentle on the sensitive eye area.
你不需要買特殊的濕巾,用完一次就扔進(jìn)垃圾桶。買一些柔軟的布料(法蘭絨、羊毛或細(xì)布),你可以把它們和其他衣服一起扔進(jìn)洗衣房。油(椰子油、橄欖油或甜杏仁油)清潔皮膚效果很好,對(duì)眼睛敏感區(qū)域尤其溫和。
