Skin
Care护肤 The eyes are described as
the windows of the soul, the mouth as the courier of thought, and the nose as
the servant of olfaction. The skin is just the frame to the picture.
Unfortunately, many judge themselves according to this frame. They could either
have feelings of content or censure of their own physical features. Good health
and self-esteem go hand-in-hand during the process of exercising and
establishing good health habits. The skin's clarity of ache, wrinkles, and
sunburns is merely assistance to their stature of confidence. Having healthy
skin is a step to confidence. Becoming worry-free of appearances is practicing
good sleeping, eating, and drinking habits that lead to the success of a healthy
looking person. Adolescents need about 8-10 hours of sleep a night, and adults
need less than that. However, the body needs to rest and save energy for ongoing
activities. Eating properly from the four basic food groups maintains the
balance of proteins and nutrients. Fluid consumption of water is more
recommended by doctors than the choice of soft drinks that are out on the
market. Water provides plenty of water that is the key to have that fresh
natural look. When actress, Rebecca Gayheart, (the commercial model of
Noxema)was interviewed by Shape magazine in the 1998 November issue, she said,
"My beauty routine is basically plenty of sleep and lots of water. " Exercising
regularly will circulate blood and keep skin firm and toned. Getting involved in
an activity that a person enjoys, and they are most likely to be happy and look
more healthy. Having to be the largest organ of the human body, the skin's main
function is to protect the body from microbes. Because of the large coverage of
the skin over the body, it would be encouraged to take care of its texture and
form. Many desire healthy looking skin that is smooth and firm. The attraction
for this desire makes the market place booming with industry in order to fulfil
the consumers' desire. Viewers at home can be guaranteed to see some type of
commercial advertisement on TV that focuses on the integument and appendages of
hair, make-up, lotions, or nail products. Keeping the face clear promotes good
self-esteem and confidence to one's appearance. Good skin can save time from
make-up. When a girl wants to step out for a night of the town, the pimples and
blemishes on her face will be the last thing that she will be conscious of.
Little things can be erupted from something so miniscule. The first thing to
combat would be the pores. Pores are what allows the skin to breathe. If pores
were to be blocked by dirt, oil, or make-up, unwanted ache would take place.
Avoid wearing make-up to sleep and touching the face when hands are dirty. Pores
can be kept clean if washed daily, by using a soft facial cleanser versus the
usage of deodorant soaps. Whenever heading for the pool or a day out in the sun,
never forget to protect your skin from hazardous Ultraviolet (UV)rays. By
overexposure to Ultraviolet rays, you're more likely to develop cancer. Through
the appliance of sunscreen upon the exposed skin, and underneath make-up we can
decrease the odds are more likely to be in your favor. Do not go out and tan,
because that ruins the outer membranes. The high percentage of risk upon skin
cancer is a large fear.

单选题Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" is a funny, bittersweet movie that uses cultural dislocation as a metaphor for people who have gotten lost in their own lives. The movie contains priceless slap-stick from Bill Murray, finely tuned performances by Murray and the beautiful Scarlett Johansson and a visual and aural design that cultivates a romantic through melancholy mood. In only her second feature, Coppola has made a poised, intelligent film that nicely balances laughs with a poignancy rarely seen in American movies. If Focus Features markets "Lost in Translation" carefully, this most original comedy could win audiences well beyond art houses. Bob Harris (Murray) is a grumpy movie star in town to shoot a whiskey commercial. He is not only plagued by jet lag and gloom over a deteriorating marriage of many years, he is also in the midst of a midlife crisis that dampens his spirits but not his wit. Charlotte (Johansson) , the neglected wife of a photographer, experiences a similar air-condl-tioned nightmare. Married two years, she already feels lost in the relationship, unable to partici-pate in her husband's career or pinpoint what she wants out of life. When she ventures into the city, she is confronted by a distorted version of Western modernity. These two people discover each other late at night at the bar. Neither one can sleep. A friend-ship evolves in their mutual isolation. Coppola sees in Tokyo's crowded, neon-lit urban landscape a society estranged from its own culture. The night is filled with pleasure-seekers obsessed by games, toys and American pop culture. Only when Charlotte takes a train to Kyoto is she able to experience the old Japan of ancient temples and gardens, tea houses and kimono-clad figures. This role fits Murray like his own skin. A middle-aged burnout who sees no challenges on his horizon gradually changes into a man revitalized by another alienated soul. His comic touch enriches the character with a self-deprecating wit and in a few sequences, a rubbery physicality that earns sustained laughs. Johansson makes Charlotte's loneliness and disillusionment palpable as the woman is cut off from life in ways she never imagined. Using high-speed film stock, cinematographer Lance Aeord gives the glaring neon and num-bingly sleek interiors a kind of romantic sheen. The score produced by Brian Reitzell created out of Japanese musical themes and "Tokyo dream-pop" adds to the sense of an Eastern city that has succumbed in large measure to Western culture.
