한국인의 피부 관리법

한국 사람들은 피부 관리에 관심이 많습니다. 깨끗하고 건강한 피부를 위해 여러 가지 방법을 사용합니다.

1. 세안하기
한국 사람들은 아침과 저녁에 세안을 합니다. 아침에는 밤새 생긴 유분과 먼지를 씻어 냅니다. 저녁에는 메이크업과 하루 동안 쌓인 먼지를 깨끗이 제거합니다. 세안할 때는 거품을 충분히 내서 피부를 부드럽게 문지릅니다. 너무 세게 문지르면 피부가 손상될 수 있습니다.

2. 기초 스킨케어
세안 후에는 기초 스킨케어를 합니다. 먼저 토너(스킨)를 바릅니다. 토너는 피부를 촉촉하게 하고 다음 단계의 화장품이 잘 스며들게 도와줍니다. 그다음 에센스나 세럼을 사용합니다. 이것은 피부에 영양을 주고 탄력을 유지하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 마지막으로 로션이나 크림을 발라 피부의 수분을 지킵니다.

3. 자외선 차단
햇빛은 피부를 건조하게 만들고 주름을 생기게 합니다. 그래서 한국 사람들은 외출할 때 **선크림(자외선 차단제)**을 꼭 바릅니다. 흐린 날에도 자외선이 있으므로 매일 사용하는 것이 중요합니다.

4. 팩(mask pack) 사용하기
한국에서는 팩을 자주 사용합니다. 팩은 피부를 촉촉하게 하고 영양을 줍니다. 시트팩(sheet mask)은 얼굴에 붙이는 마스크팩입니다. 10~20분 정도 붙이고 있다가 떼어 냅니다. 수면팩(sleeping mask)은 밤에 바르고 자는 팩입니다. 아침에 일어나면 피부가 더 촉촉해집니다.

5. 건강한 생활 습관
피부 건강을 위해서는 좋은 생활 습관이 중요합니다.

물을 많이 마시기: 피부가 건조해지지 않도록 하루에 6~8컵의 물을 마십니다.
건강한 음식 먹기: 과일과 채소를 많이 먹으면 피부가 좋아집니다. 기름진 음식과 단 음식은 피부 트러블을 일으킬 수 있습니다.
충분한 수면: 잠을 잘 자면 피부가 건강해집니다. 밤에 7~8시간 자는 것이 좋습니다.
운동하기: 운동을 하면 혈액 순환이 좋아지고 피부가 맑아집니다.

한국 사람들은 깨끗하고 건강한 피부를 위해 세안, 기초 스킨케어, 자외선 차단, 팩 사용, 건강한 생활 습관을 실천합니다. 여러분도 이 방법을 따라 하면 피부가 더 좋아질 수 있습니다!

Ep.64 「Wonka🍫✨」にハマりました🥺

みなさん、こんにちは。おげんきですか。日本は3連休です。そして、台風が来ています。
大型の台風が九州に近づいているようです。九州にお住まいの方、大丈夫ですか。気をつけてください。
19日の月曜日は敬老の日で、23日の金曜日は秋分の日なので、今週は休みが多いです。九月のこの連休のことをシルバーウイークって言うんですよ。

我が家の高校2年生の息子は、今日は学校の文化祭。今朝は台風の影響で雨足が強かったのですが、朝6時半に家を出て行きました。青春ですね。「文化祭、何をするの」って聞くと、「モグラたたき」って。えー、何それって感じです。人間モグラたたきのようですよ。楽しいことを考えますね。
コロナ前は入場制限もなく自由に学校見学に行けましたが、コロナ禍ということで、インターネットで予約してからの入場のようです。面倒な時代ですね。でも、インターネットでの配信も少しあるみたいなので、わざわざ学校まで足を運ばなくても、文化祭の様子を垣間見ることができます。これは、親にはありがたいですね。

娘は明日が誕生日です。で、雨ですが、原宿まで洋服を買いに行きたいと。日本の小学生はおしゃれが大好きですよ。
なので、大雨の中、私の姉も一緒に原宿にお買い物に行ってきました。私の姉ですから、娘にとってはおばさんですね。たくさん試着して、さんざん悩んで洋服を買いました。
娘との買い物は、私自身も楽しみなんです。あー、こんなのが好きなんだとか、大きくなったなあって思いながら、楽しく買い物しましたよ。原宿は雨でも混んでいました。

みなさんはどんな週末でしたか。

10 Essential Hindi Announcement Sentences for Beginners

第五天，还是羊的事，把小王子的生活秘密向我揭开了。
On the fifth day again, as always, it was thanks to the sheep–the secret of the little prince's life was revealed to me.
好像默默地思索了很长时间以后，得出了什么结果一样，他突然没头没脑地问我：
Abruptly, without anything to lead up to it, and as if the question had been born of long and silent meditation on his problem, he demanded:
羊，要是吃小灌木，它也要吃花罗？
A sheep–if it eats little bushes, does it eat flowers, too?
“它碰到什么就吃什么”，我说。
"A sheep," I answered, "eats anything it finds in its reach."
连有刺的花也吃吗？
Even flowers that have thorns?
有刺的也吃！
Yes, even flowers that have thorns.
那么刺有什么用呢？
Then the thorns–what use are they?
我不知道该怎么回答。
I did not know.
那会儿我正忙着要从发动机上卸下一颗拧得太紧的螺丝。

At that moment, I was very busy trying to unscrew a bolt that had got stuck in my engine.
心里很着急，我发现机器故障似乎很严重，
I was very much worried, for it was becoming clear to me that the breakdown of my plane was extremely serious.
饮水也快完了，担心可能发生最坏的情况，
And I had so little drinking-water left that I had to fear for the worst.
那么刺有什么用呢？
The thorns–what use are they?
小王子一旦提出了问题，从来不会放过。
这个该死的螺丝使我很恼火，
我于是就随便回答了他一句：“刺么，什么用都没有，这纯粹是花的恶劣表现。”
And I answered with the first thing that came into my head: "The thorns are of no use at all. Flowers have thorns just for spite!"
噢！
Oh!
可是他沉默了一会儿之后，
There was a moment of complete silence.
怀着不满的心情冲我说：“我不信！”
Then the little prince flashed back at me, with a kind of resentfulness: "I don't believe you!"
花是弱小的、淳朴的，它们总是设法保护自己，
Flowers are weak creatures. They are naive. They reassure themselves as best they can.
以为有了刺就可以显出自己的厉害。
They believe that their thorns are terrible weapons.
我默不作声。
I did not answer.
我当时想的，“如果这个螺丝再和我作对，我就一锤子敲掉它。”
At that instant I was saying to myself: "If this bolt still won't turn, I am going to knock it out with the hammer."
小王子又来打搅我的思绪了。
Again the little prince disturbed my thoughts.
你却认为花…
“嗷，不，”我哭着说，“算了吧，算了吧！我什么也不认为！”
我是随便回答你的。
I answered you with the first thing that came into my head.
我可有正经事要做。
Don't you see–I am very busy with matters of consequence!
