s.

Chris: Alright ladies, hurry up, I want to leave soon so we miss the evening traffic.

Sarah: Hold your horses we haven’t finished packing!

Chris: My god, you don’t need anything. Sandals and something to wear on the beach and you’re fine. It’s going to be hot all weekend!

Lucy: Oh dear, boys just don’t understand a girl’s beach requirements.

Chris: Look I packed a beach ball, and set of beach tennis bats as well as a barbeque set. What else is there?

Sarah: Come up here and take a look. You can help us decide what bikinis to take.

Chris: Coming!

Chris bounds upstairs eager to ⑥ give his opinion on the bikini front. Sarah steps out in front of him in a colourful traditional bikini.

Sarah: So this is what I was thinking of wearing. It’s nice and bright and pretty secure. Nothings going to fall out!

Chris: Very nice colour, yes you fill it very well. I didn’t know you had a bellybutton ring.

Lucy then steps out from the bathroom in her slightly smaller bikini.

Lucy: I will wear this if it is a kind of kiddy beach, I don’t want to frighten any children with anything too extreme. How do you like my thong?

Chris: Wow! I didn’t realize you had such a nice butt Lucy!

Lucy: Thank you Chris.

莎拉、露西和克里斯正在为去海滩度周末做准备。女孩们在楼上收拾行李，克里斯在楼下收拾。

克里斯:好了，女士们。快一点吧，我们要赶紧走了，避开交通高峰期。

莎拉: 等一等，我们还没收拾完呢！

克里斯:我的天啊，你们不需要任何东西。凉鞋和一些在海滩上穿的衣服就够了。这个周末会非常热的！

露西: 天啊，男孩子又怎么能懂女孩们在海滩上需要的东西呢。

克里斯:看看，我带了一个沙滩球，一套沙滩网球拍和一套烤肉野餐用具。

莎拉: 上楼来看看吧。你能帮帮我们决定穿什么样的比基尼。

克里斯:我来了！

克里斯跳上楼去，很热心地给出自己关于比基尼的意见。莎拉走出来，身穿一件彩色的传统式比基尼站到他面前。

莎拉: 这就是我正在考虑是否穿着去度假的比基尼。这一套很好看，颜色鲜艳也相当安全。没什么地方会走光的啦！

克里斯:颜色确实漂亮，是的，很适合你。我以前可不知道你还有个脐环啊。

露西随后身着她略小一些的比基尼从浴室走出来。

露西: 如果我们去的是儿童海滩我就穿这一套。我可不会穿得过于暴露而吓着孩子们。你们喜欢我的热辣比基尼吗？

克里斯:哇，我之前还真不知道你的臀部这么有线条啊，露西！

露西: 谢谢，克里斯。

Sarah reappears from the bathroom in an even smaller style.

Sarah: Well, you two stop flirting. Now this is what I will wear if I think I can ⑦get away with it!

Chris: OK, lovely. That’s pretty small. Are you sure you can stay in it? Is it secure for swimming?

Sarah: This isn’t an action bikini this is ⑧for display only!

Finally Lucy comes out for the last time wearing only a stitch.

Lucy: Quite right we won’t be playing beach volleyball in these ones.

Chris: That’s tiny Lucy. You’re almost naked. It can’t be legal…

Lucy: Well, I will only wear it if I judge the beach we are on to be appropriate.

Sarah: In other words if there are other people wearing as little.

Chris: Well, the only beach I can imagine that to be the case would be a nudist beach.

Sarah: Well, don’t worry everyone if that is the case I have brought along some extra strong sun-block to cover up those sensitive white bits!

莎拉再次从浴室走出来，穿着一件更小的比基尼。

莎拉: 你们两个别眉来眼去的了。我现在身着的是去度假的比基尼，只是我不知道能不能穿出去。

克里斯:好看极了。只是这确实太小了。你确定穿得舒适吗？这样游泳会安全吗？

莎拉: 这是穿上后不能运动的比基尼，只能作为展示！

露西: 很好，我穿成这样是不能打沙滩排球的了。

克里斯:露西，这也太小了。你几乎全裸了，这会违法的……

露西: 没事，我只有在确认我们所在的海滩适于穿着这种比基尼的情况下才会穿这个。

莎拉: 也就是说有别人穿得同样少的情况下。

克里斯:我能想到的适于穿这种比基尼的海滩只有裸泳者海滩了。

莎拉: 都放心啦，就算是那样，我也会带上了充足的强力防晒霜来遮住我们那敏感易晒伤的白嫩皮肤。

基础皮肤护理

Cleanse

Cleansings removes makeup, dirt, and grease from the surface of the skin and is necessary for all skin types. A cleanser can be anything from mild soap, a gentle exfoliate, rich cleansing cream or foaming cleanser. Whichever type you choose, apply it to the skin with the pads of the fingers, using small circular motions; gently spread the cleanser over the surface of the skin. You can also use a facial brush, cloth, or sponge to apply cleansers.

Tone

After cleansing the skin, apply a toner. A toner is a product designed to remove leftover makeup or oil residues and prepare the skin for a moisturizer. Select a toner that corresponds to your skin type and avoid toners that contain alcohol; these can cause skin to become too dry and irritated.

Moisturize

Moisturizing the skin is the final basic step. Use a product containing moisturizing oils, distillates, anti-oxidants, nutrients and essential oils to prevent moisture loss. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type and one that has as many, if not all, natural ingredients as possible. Remember your skin absorbs everything put on it even if it’s not natural.

Apply a light moisturizer in the mornings with perhaps a sunscreen to protect your skin for the day. At night, use a light or rich cream depending on your skin type. Your nightime moisturizer should be capable of repairing and nourishing your skin while you sleep. Be careful not to apply an excessive amount of moisturizer at night; the skin needs to breath during sleep. If your skin looks and feel greasy when you wake up, you probably applied too much.

Exfoliate

Once a week or more often for oily skin types, use an exfoliating cream or scrub to slough off dead skin cells and unclog your pores. This is often the most over looked part of a skin care regimen but it is one of the most important. You must get rid of the dead skin on your face and keep your pores clean only then will your beautiful new skin reveal and heal itself.

清洁

清洁对任何类型的皮肤都是必需的，它能清除附着在皮肤表面的化 妆品、污垢以及油脂。洁面产品的种类包括较温和的肥皂、柔性磨砂产品、卸妆乳和泡沫洗面奶。不管你选择哪一款产品，用手指轻轻地在脸部以画圆的方式按摩。 或者你可以选择一款面刷、毛巾或者海绵来配合你的洁面产品。

调理

清洁完皮肤后，接下来使用调理产品。调理产品是用来去除残留的化妆品以及油脂，从而为下一个步骤作准备。选择一款适合你肌肤的产品，并且避免使用含有酒精的产品。含有酒精的产品会使皮肤变得干燥和粗糙。

滋润

滋润皮肤是基础护肤的最后一个步骤。推荐使用含有滋润油、精华素、抗氧化剂、肌肤所需营养以及防止水分流失成分的产品。同样要选择一款适合自己肌肤的产品，并尽量使用含有天然元素的。记住你的皮肤会吸收任何涂抹上的东西，包括那些非天然的元素。

早上最好使用一款较稀释的滋润产品并抹上防晒霜。晚上则可以根据你的肌肤来选择滋润产品的稀释度。晚霜的作用是在睡眠时修复肌肤并给其提供足够的营养。 在晚上，也不要涂抹过多的乳液，这样会给肌肤造成额外的负担而使其无法呼吸。如果早上起来皮肤看起来油油的，那么也许就是睡觉前使用了过量的晚霜。

去角质、死皮

每周一次使用磨砂产品来去除死皮以及彻底清洁毛孔，对于油性肌肤来说可能需要更频繁地做此项护理。这个步骤经常被忽略，而其实它是很重要的。你必须摆脱那些死皮，保持毛孔通畅，这样才能使肌肤自我修复并焕发光彩。

虽然6月的阳光让人有些庸懒，可是对皮肤的护理可不能放松哦！立即按照以下步骤给娇嫩的肌肤来个全套护理吧。

Facial Steam

Two to three times a month, after you cleanse and/or exfoliate, treat your skin to a steam bath to deep cleanse the pores and stimulate circulation. People with oily skin can steam more regularly than people with dry or sensitive skin. This should become an important part of your routine if you want beautiful, clear, healthy looking skin.

Mask

A few times a month, treat yourself to a face and neck mask to balance and invigorate the skin and stimulate circulation. Before using a mask, pull back your hair from your face and apply a smooth layer of the mask to your freshly cleaned and damp face and neck, avoiding the mouth and eye areas. Rest for 10-15 minutes while the mask is drying, try not to talk during this time. Rinse well with warm water, and pat dry, follow with a good toner and moisturizer for your skin type.

Hydration

Hydration of the skin from the inside out is critical, so be sure to drink lots of fresh water daily. In addition, periodic misting of the skin throughout the day is helpful to replenish moisture and is particularly useful if you work in an office environment where the air is usually stale. To apply, hold the mister about 6 inches from your face; spray once or twice. You can use a spray mist even if you are wearing make-up.

面部蒸汽

每月做2到3次，在清洁皮肤或者去除死皮、角质后给你的皮肤也来个蒸汽浴吧。它会清洁你的毛孔并且促进血液循环。油性肌肤比起干性肌肤及敏感性肌肤来，可更多地使用面部蒸汽。如果你想拥有美丽、清洁而健康的肌肤，那么这一步骤在护肤过程中是必不可少的。

面膜

每月几次可以通过脸部和颈部的面膜来平衡肌肤营养以及改善血液循环。在使用面膜前，将头发置于脑后，然后在刚刚清洁后的面部和颈部涂抹上一层面膜，注意 避开嘴巴和眼睛。休息10到15分钟，尽量避免说话，直至面膜干透。用温水清洗后轻轻拍干，调理和滋润步骤也不能少哦。

补水

从体内补水是必需的，因此每天必须喝大量的水。同时，定时使用保湿喷雾可以帮助你在干燥的工作环境中保持皮肤的水分。使用时，将喷雾置于面前6英寸的地方，喷1到2次。化好妆后，也可使用喷雾。
