What is beauty culture 什么是美容
A beauty salon or beauty parlor (International spelling: beauty parlor) (or sometimes beauty shop) is an establishment dealing with cosmetic treatments for men and women. Other variations of this type of business include hair salons and spas.
There is a distinction between a beauty salon and a hair salon and although many small businesses do offer both sets of treatments; beauty salons provide more generalized services related to skin health, facial aesthetic, foot care, aromatherapy, even meditation, oxygen therapy, mud baths, and innumerable other services.
The beauty treatments:
Massage for the body is a popular beauty treatment, with various techniques offering benefits to the skin (including the application of beauty products) and for increasing mental well-being and relaxation.
Facials refer to a treatment for the face.
Manicure refers to a treatment for the hands, incorporating the fingernails and cuticles and often involving the application of nail polish.
Pedicure refers to a treatment for the feet, incorporating the toenails and the softening or removal of calluses.
Manicures and pedicures take place at nail salons.
Beauty salons offer treatments such as waxing and threading for hair removal.
Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial makeup, towelettes, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays and gels, deodorants, hand sanitizer, baby products, bath oils, bubble baths, bath salts, butters and many other types of products. A subset of cosmetics is called "make-up", which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter the user's appearance. Many manufacturers distinguish between decorative cosmetics and care cosmetics.
美容(beauty culture)一詞可以從兩個角度來理解。首選是"容"這個字,其次是"美"。"容"包括臉、儀態(tài)(bearing)和修飾(beautify)三層意思。 "美"則具有形容詞和動詞的兩層含義。形容詞表明的是美容的結(jié)果和目的是美麗的好看的;動詞則表明的是美容的過程,即美化(prettify)和改變的意思。因此,簡單地講美容是一種改變原有的有良行為和疾病(面部),使之成為文明的(civilized)、高素質(zhì)的(well educated)、具有可以被人接受的外觀形象(image),有活動和過程或?yàn)檫_(dá)到此目的而使用的產(chǎn)品和方法。
