In the cool winter months, it can be near impossible to keep skin hydrated.
在寒冷的冬天，维持肌肤水分几乎是不可能的。
Fortunately, there is an all|natural method that will help moisturize dry skin – and it requires no expensive beauty products.
幸运的是，有一种纯天然的办法可以帮助滋润干燥的皮肤，而且也无需买昂贵的美容商品。
According to a recent study into the benefits of houseplants commissioned by The Royal Horticultural Society in collaboration with Reading University and PHD student Curtis Gubb, there are certain potted plants that are good for your skin.
英国皇家园艺掌握、雷丁大学和博士生柯蒂斯·格布合作拓展的一项关于室内植物益处的研究显示，某些盆栽植物对皮肤非常有好处。
The study found that certain flowers and shrubs can counteract the drying caused by heating units through a process called transpiration.
研究发现，某些花和灌木可以通过一种蒸腾用途来抵消因加热器引起的干燥。
During transpiration, plants lose water through their leaves. When the process occurs with houseplants, the result is an increase in moisture in the air indoors.
在蒸腾过程中，植物通过叶片失去水分。假如室内植物发生该用途，结果就会增加室内空气中的水分。
To choose the best plants for your skin, the researchers recommend those with high transpiration rates, as well as plants with large canopies that can expel more water.
要选出对皮肤最好的植物，研究职员推荐那些有高蒸腾率、与可以排出更多水分的大树冠的植物。
The most effective plants for the purpose are peace lilies, which can evaporate the equivalent of a “small teacup” of water a day, and ivy, according to the study – but Dr Blanusa said there are likely many other plants that would be beneficial in fighting the battle against dehydrated skin.
依据这项研究，效果最好的植物是天天蒸发“一小杯水的和平百合和常春藤，但Blanusa博士说，可能还有不少植物能够帮助对对抗脱水皮肤。
