Sunscreen & Moisturizer · 选购防晒和保湿
basicHi, I need a good sunscreen. There are so many options — can you help me choose?
你好,我需要一款好的防晒霜。选择太多了——能帮我选一下吗?
Of course! What's your skin type — oily, dry, or combination? And will you be using it for daily wear or outdoor activities?
当然!您的肤质是什么样的——油性、干性还是混合性?是日常使用还是户外活动?
I have combination skin. It's mostly for daily use.
我是混合性皮肤。主要是日常用。
For daily use with combination skin, I'd recommend this lightweight SPF 50. It's oil-free and won't feel greasy. It also works well under makeup.
混合性皮肤日常用的话,我推荐这款轻薄的SPF 50。不含油,不会觉得油腻。可以当妆前用。
Does it leave a white cast? I've had that problem with other sunscreens.
会不会泛白?我用其他防晒霜遇到过这个问题。
No, this one is a chemical sunscreen so it goes on completely clear. The mineral ones tend to leave a white cast.
不会,这是化学防晒霜,涂上去完全透明。物理防晒的容易泛白。
Perfect. I also need a moisturizer for nighttime. Something hydrating but not too heavy.
太好了。我还需要一款晚间保湿霜。保湿但不要太厚重的。
This gel cream with hyaluronic acid is great. It hydrates without clogging pores. It's also fragrance-free, which is better for sensitive skin.
这款含透明质酸的凝胶霜很好。保湿又不堵塞毛孔。而且无香精,对敏感皮肤更好。
I'll take both. Do you have any samples I could try first?
两个都要。有试用装吗?
We don't have samples for these, but both have a money-back guarantee if they don't work for your skin. Just return within 30 days.
这些没有试用装,但两款都有退款保证,如果不适合您的皮肤的话。30天内退就行。
Understanding Skincare Ingredients · 了解护肤成分
intermediateI keep hearing about retinol and vitamin C serums. What do they actually do?
我经常听到视黄醇和维C精华。它们到底有什么用?
Retinol helps with anti-aging — it boosts collagen and reduces fine lines. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that brightens skin and fades dark spots.
视黄醇有抗衰老的作用——促进胶原蛋白生成,减少细纹。维C是抗氧化剂,能提亮肤色、淡化色斑。
Can I use both at the same time?
两个可以同时用吗?
It's better to use them at different times. Vitamin C in the morning with sunscreen, and retinol at night. Using them together can irritate your skin.
最好分开用。维C白天配防晒用,视黄醇晚上用。一起用可能会刺激皮肤。
I'm a beginner with retinol. Should I start with a high concentration?
我是视黄醇新手。应该从高浓度开始吗?
Definitely not. Start with a low concentration, like 0.25%, and use it every other night. Your skin needs time to build tolerance.
千万不要。从低浓度开始,比如0.25%,隔一晚用一次。皮肤需要时间建立耐受。
Good to know. What about niacinamide? I see it in a lot of products.
了解了。烟酰胺呢?我在很多产品里都看到它。
Niacinamide is very versatile — it helps with pores, oil control, and brightening. It pairs well with most ingredients and is gentle enough for daily use.
烟酰胺很全能——缩毛孔、控油、提亮都有帮助。和大多数成分都能搭配,温和到可以每天用。
I think I'll start with vitamin C and niacinamide. Can you recommend specific products?
我想先从维C和烟酰胺开始。能推荐具体的产品吗?
This vitamin C serum is our bestseller — it's 15% concentration with vitamin E. And this niacinamide serum is great value at $12. Together they make a solid morning routine.
这款维C精华是我们的畅销品——15%浓度含维E。这款烟酰胺精华性价比很高,才12美元。两个一起是很好的早间护肤组合。
