年轻十岁：需要做的和不能做的？ don't skip sunscreen. experts sound like a broken record on this issue for a reason: rain or shine, you need sunscreen to prevent skin damage and, potentially, cancer. (p.s.: it's never too late to start.) do drink 64 oz. of water a day. h20 is the best skin-care product out there, and probably the cheapest. guzzling plenty of the stuff keeps your skin radiant and energy levels up. don't sleep in your makeup. it will clog your pores, promote blackheads, and dehydrate your skin, all of which enhance the signs of aging. cleansing and moisturizing every night before bed is a must. do use waterproof or long-lasting eyeliner and mascara, which won't run into creases around the eyes. don't use any cosmetics that have glitter in them―the specks cling to wrinkles―and, worse, it'll look like you're trying to go back to high school. instead, look for words on the packaging like "luminous" and "shimmer," which have a subtle and flattering sheen. do eat organic foods whenever possible. when you put lots of unhealthy chemicals and preservatives in your body, it shows. (and be sure to take a multivitamin to guarantee you're getting your daily dose of nutrients.) don't wear makeup that is too matte, especially foundation and lipstick. the flat finish tends to sink into wrinkles and highlight them. do wear jewel-tone clothing. rich, saturated colors (think deep purples, greens, reds, and blues) instantly brighten up the skintone, which tends to get sallow with age. note: many women of a certain age tend to wear pastel, which actually washes them out. don't hang on to the same old pair of jeans, no matter how much you love them. staying on top of denim trends―the current cut, wash, finish, etc.―keeps you looking modern. (one word of warning: avoid falling for teenybopper fads ―whiskering, rips, low rises, etc.―no matter how popular they get.) do pay attention to where you bare skin. if you have a lot of freckling or age spots in certain areas―say, the décolletage―then pick another body part to show off. and remember: shoulders age well on almost anyone! do be realistic about whether you should wear sleeveless tops. if your arms are ultratoned, then by all means, go for it. but if there's any jiggle or loose skin, a ¾-length sleeve is universally flattering. don't shop the juniors department. when you're wearing an item of clothing that was intended for someone several decades younger than you, it shows. do burn your twin-sets. they are dated, and they scream school marm. a long, lean cardigan is a contemporary upgrade. don't be too matchy-matchy. it's not fresh or youthful to match exactly (pink earrings with a pink sweater and pink and black flats); instead, find pieces in colors and patterns that complement each other. do splurge on fashion-forward handbags. (a soft, slouchy style for daytime and a clutch for evening are a great start.) why, you ask? because the phrase "old-lady purse" exists for a reason. do update your capri pants. as with jeans, the ruling shapes and styles of these change seasonally―so if you bought yours during the last presidential administration, it's definitely time to hit the stores. don't fall into the trap of wearing ugly footwear just because it's comfortable. the excuse of "i just don't want my feet to hurt" simply doesn't fly anymore, when there are so many wonderful and cushy flats to choose from. do wear structured pieces on your upper half, such as fitted jackets and shirts with seaming details. they will help keep less-than-six-pack abs locked and loaded. do highlight your waist whenever possible; as some women get older, their bust and tummy seem to merge into one. a wide belt, nipped-in blazer or a cardigan that ties at the waist are the perfect antidote. 不能：忽略防晒霜。专家们在这个问题上反复强调，是破了纪录的。原因在于无论阴雨绵绵还是艳阳高照，你都需要防晒，防止皮肤损伤，防止癌症。 （ p.s.：开始防晒永远不会太迟。 ） 需要：每天饮水64盎司（1.8kg）。水是最好的护肤产品，也可能是最便宜的。充分饮水，让你的皮肤充满光泽和有能量。 不能：带妆睡觉。这将阻塞你的毛孔，促成黑头和皮肤脱水，所有这些都加重了皮肤老化的迹象。清洗和保湿是每晚临睡前必须的功课。 需要：确保使用防水或长效的眼线和睫毛膏，它不会变成堆积在眼睛周围的油脂。 不能：使用任何含有闪光成分的化妆品，闪光的斑点会附着在皮肤的褶皱里，更坏的是，它会让你看起来像是想回到高中时代。因此，注意发现化妆品包装上类似“闪光的”、“光彩的”的字眼，这意味着化妆品中含有细微的颗粒状闪光成分。 需要：尽可能吃有机食品。当你的身体积累了很多化学品和防腐剂的时候，它们会显现出来。（确保膳食中包含多种维生素，以保证你每天得到充足的营养。） 不能：化妆不需要使自己看起来非常光滑，特别要注意粉底和口红。实现这一目的的化妆品，往往会有陷入皮肤的褶皱颗粒并且凸显出皱纹来。 需要：穿着珠光色的衣服。饱满、丰富的颜色立即提升了皮肤的亮度（考虑一些深紫、紫色、绿色、红色和蓝色）。随着年龄的增长，皮肤的光泽会逐渐变得黯淡。注意：许多特定年龄的妇女，会采用彩妆的形式，但这实际上会让她们更显“溃败”。 不能：只穿同样一件旧牛仔，无论你多么喜欢他们。抓住粗斜纹布的流行时尚：应景的剪裁，水洗和定型等等，它会使得你看起来时尚。(警惕：避免十几岁年轻人的流行时尚：流苏、开缝、低腰等等，无论它们多么风行一时。) 需要：注意身体裸露的部分。如果你的身体在露背服装的镂空部分有些雀斑或老年斑，另选择一件衣服。记住：每个人的肩背都会说出它的年龄。 需要：对自己是否选择无袖上衣要现实一些。如果你的上臂完美无暇，好，穿一件无袖上装，没问题。但是如果你的上臂皮肤有一点松弛、晃荡的迹象，3/4上衣会更加得体。 不能：去青少年用品店购物。穿上为比你小十几岁的人设计的衣服，衣服自己就会呐喊你的实际年龄。 需要：烧掉的你的两件套羊毛衫，它们过时了，它们是学校里刻板严厉的中年妇女装。一件斜纹长羊毛衫才是当前的时令。 不能：一味追求时尚。完完全全的符合时尚的节拍，并不会产生让人觉得你清新或者充满活力（例如，粉红耳坠与粉红毛线衫与黑红相间平底鞋），所以要选择颜色和图案协调的衣服和鞋子。 需要：毫不犹豫的炫耀你时尚的手袋。（白天选择柔软、懒散的风格，而晚上选择无带型的包包，是一个好的开始。）你可能会问为什么？因为“老妇人的钱袋”这句俗语是有理由的。 需要：更新你的capri裤子。对牛仔服而言，“最高权威”的样式和风格周期性的转换，所以如果你的存货是“上届政府”的，那就是到商店“换届”的时候了。 不能：掉入舒适而难看的鞋子陷阱。以“我穿着它，是因为我的脚觉得很舒服”作为借口是不行的，有很多好看而舒适的平底鞋等着你选择呢。 需要：穿着剪裁得当的上衣，比如合身的夹克衫，衣辙处理精细衬衫。（求教：they will help keep less-than-six-pack abs locked and loaded. 如何翻译？） 需要：在任何时候强调你的腰部线条；随着年龄的增长，有些女性的胸部和腹部好像连在了一起，没有腰线了。一条有亮点的宽腰带和束腰的羊毛衫是很好的解毒剂。 转摘自海词快乐英语，供朋友们分享查看更多
