1 . Taking care of our skin is highly important, and healthy skin is key to protection from harmful elements. There are a lot of skincare advice and it may be confusing to choose which one is good for us.     1    .

Clean your skin properly

Clean twice, not once, according to Marie Claire. The first cleaning will simply remove all the surface make-up and dirt.     2    . Proper cleaning produces new skin cells, and that will improve your complexion.

    3    

Aside from applying moisturizers (润肤膏), our skin can become moist thanks to enough water intake. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day to ensure your metabolism (新陈代谢) works well, and good metabolism contributes to hydrated, supple and clearer skin.

Get enough sleep

“Sleep is nature’s most powerful beauty treatment,” wrote Fitness Magazine. When we are asleep, our bodies produce a human growth hormone that contributes to collagen production. Hair, face and body products also recover better when we are at rest. Get enough sleep.     4    .

Have a proper diet

Dear Li Hua,

Lately, I’ve been having some problems with high school. I have been in high school for more than two months, but I still haven’t gotten used to it. I have a ton of subjects to deal with every day— math, literature (文学), physics, chemistry, biology, you name it. It’s hard for me to find a good balance between all of them and some of them are too difficult for me, such as math. On top of that, I end up staying up late(熬夜) to finish my homework every day, which makes me feel tired and sleepy during classes the next day. These problems are really troubling me right now.

Have you ever had similar problems? What do you think I should do? I’m really looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Jim
