In an age when our phones are also our wallet, watch and GPS, I expect intelligent, multi-tasking efficiency from everyday skincare as well, especially SPF(sun-protection factor).
About Sunscreens
■Wear SPF daily. It helps protect against not only sunburn but also almost 80 percent of the skin and ageing problems. Meanwhile, remember to prevent skin from drying after the use of sunscreen since skin needs moisture (水分).
■Choose an SPF number based on length of time in the sun and the intensity of the sunlight. SPF30 lets about three percent of UVB ray s through;SPF50 about two percent.
■Understand the difference between chemical (or “organic”) and mineral (or “inorganic” physical) sunscreens. Chemical sunscreens tend to be more lightweight and less oily, which absorb UV light (紫外线). Their composition causes a reaction where light is changed into heat and then gone. Mineral sunscreens, meanwhile, act like a barrier. Active ingredients protect from UV rays, and sit on the surface of the skin, reflecting the sun’s rays. These are generally thicker in property and can leave a white cast.
Application tips
■Apply enough:about a shot glass for the whole body and about a quarter teaspoon (1.25ml) each for face and neck. No less for high SPF.
■Apply at least 20 minutes earlier before heading outside and reapply every two hours (more if you are swimming or sweating).
■Don’t miss the hairline, ears, front and back of neck.
■Make-up with SPF is not enough for sun protection. Layer it on top of sunscreen.

【推荐1】Ten years ago, I used to be very fit.
There’s a lot of stress in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another.
Two months ago, I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. “I’m too young.” I said. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. I was in hospital a few days and they did a lot of tests.
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think?

【推荐2】A story has been doing the rounds on the Internet about a supposed method used by the US military to help people fall asleep.
The information comes from a 1981 book called Relax and Win: Championship Performance,with the story being picked up by writer Sharon Ackman in July. In the book, readers are told how to relax, and also how to fall asleep within two minutes, something apparently employed by the US military.
"The US Navy Pre-Flight School developed a scientific method to fall asleep day or night, in any conditions, in under two minutes," wrote Ackman. "After six weeks of practice, 96 percent of pilots could fall asleep in two minutes or less. Even after drinking coffee, with machine gunfire being played in the background. "
So how do you do it? Well, the first step is to blank your mind. To do this, it's recommended that you relax all of the muscles in your face. Then, drop you shoulders and relax your arms. Breathe out and relax your chest, and then also relax your legs, all in that sequence.
For the next 10 seconds, you'll then want to clear your mind of everything. Either imagine you're lying in a pitch-black room on a comfy couch or, if you're struggling, saying the words "don' t think"over and over again can supposedly help.
And if you do all that, well, you should be asleep. Ackman said this was an especially useful technique for people in the military who were in dangerous situations, or those dealing with the horrors of war.
According to a recent study, getting between six and nine'hours sleep a night can help offset heart conditions, while other studies have shown the rather disastrous(灾难的) effects lack of sleep can have on the body. While we don't understand it completely, sleep is super useful.
