Chinese Vocabulary: Skin Types and Skin Care

Mandarin Morning

拼音

English

If you really want to up your Chinese skills and be able to ask for some advice about makeup it’ll be useful to know about what different skin types are in Chinese:

Skin – 皮肤 (pífū) or 肌肤 (jīfū)
Dry – 干性 (gān xìng)
Oily – 油性 (yóu xìng)
Sensitive – 敏感性 (mǐn gǎn xìng)
Combination – 混合性 (hùn hé xìng)

Lastly, we have some vocabulary for skin care because it’s really important to look after your skin as well as your health and know what products you’re actually using.
Cream – 霜 (shuāng), it is added to a number of words for skin care products:
Face cream – 面霜 (miàn shuāng)
Eye cream – 眼霜 (yǎn shuāng)
Hand cream – 护手霜 (hù shǒu shuāng)
Sun cream – 防晒霜 (fáng shàishuāng)
Face mask – 面膜 (miàn mó), 膜 means “film” or “thin coating”, so it literally translates to “face film”.
Lotion – 乳液 (rǔ yè) 乳 is used to describe any milk like liquid.
Moisturizer – 润肤露 (rùn fū lù), this is another pretty much literal translation, 润 means “moisten”, 肤 means “skin” and 露 means “lotion”.
