用英语聊聊各种夏日皮肤烦恼

 　苏菲和黛茜是同班同学，周一碰面时，黛茜发现苏菲脸红红的，而且严重脱皮，于是问她怎怎么回事。 

　　D: Sophie, what happened to your face? 

　　S: Got sunburned(晒伤). Last weekend I went with my boyfriend to the beach, and I forgot to take my sunscreen lotion¹(防晒露) with me. 

　　D: No wonder your face is all red and starts peeling(开始脱皮). Sun block cream(防晒霜) is a must(不可缺少的东西) in such hot summer days. Now all there’s left to do is to apply fruit facial mask(水果面膜) to your face. Next time don’t forget to wear your sunscreen lotion, and remember to wear a broad brim² hat(宽檐帽). 

　　S: I wonder which kind of facial mask could cure my acnes(痘痘). They have never stopped growing on my face since summer. How could I get rid of them? 

　　D: I suggest you select a good facial scrub(磨砂洗面乳), and drink more water. Applying hydrating facial mask(补水面膜) from time to time is even better. 

　　S: Thanks for your advice, I will try them. How come you don’t have a problem with your skin at summertime? You are so lucky! 

　　D: I wish I could be so lucky, but I also have big troubles with my skin in summer. You know, I’m a big mosquito magnet(招蚊子的人). I always get mosquito bites. I guess it has something to do with my blood type(血型). 

　　S: Well, in that case, I think you had better keep away from perfumes⁴ and heavily scented⁵ hair sprays(味道浓烈的发胶), which could attract mosquitoes. You could use insect repellent(驱虫水) when needed, but do wash thoroughly(彻底清洗干净) afterwards. 

　　D: I guess I must temporarily say goodbye to my dear perfume³ then. 

　　S: Oh, and avoid wearing black and dark-colored clothing. They attract mosquitoes too. 

　　D: What? Black is my favorite color! I hate summer!
