When researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in the US - commissioned by skincare firm Olay - guessed how old the women were, they found those who took care in the sun tended to have aged more slowly.

随后，受护肤品公司玉兰油的委托，美国麻省总医院的研究人员对这些女性的年龄进行估算，发现采取防晒措施的女性衰老速度更慢。

A lucky four had so few wrinkles and age spots, and such a glowing complexion, that they appeared to be a full two decades younger than they really were.

其中四名女性几乎没有任何皱纹和老年斑，容光焕发，以至于她们看起来比实际年龄整整年轻了二十岁。

Researcher Dr Alexa Kimball, a professor of dermatology, said the popular perception that we drink lots of water to stay healthy is a myth and the body is ‘pretty good’ at judging how much we need.

研究人员亚历克斯·金博博士是一位皮肤科教授，她称，多喝水能保持健康的流行观点是无稽之谈，我们的身体能准确判断所需的饮水量。

Previous research by the British Nutrition Foundation reached a similar conclusion.

此前，英国营养协会的研究也得出了相似结论。

Experts there said: ‘Just drinking water for the sake of drinking water really has no effect on improving the appearance of skin.’

该协会的专家称：“为了喝水而喝水，真的不会起到改善皮肤的作用。”
