As autumn and winter arrive, the skin is prone to undergo many changes with the temperature, especially exposed skin, which is prone to various problems after being stimulated by external stimulation. How to deal with skin problems in autumn and winter? We invited Wang Yi, the head of the Skin Beauty Group of the Medical Beauty Department of Chengdu Third People's Hospital, to talk to everyone.
What problems are prone to skin in autumn and winter?
Fall and winter easily cause dryness and tightness in the skin, facial sensitive skin, and body itching; patients with basic skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis , eczema , psoriasis and other skin diseases are prone to recurrence; while stimulation of external factors such as wind and sand, cosmetics, hand sanitizer, disinfectants, etc. are more likely to cause skin allergies.
Why is the skin more susceptible to sensitive and dryness in autumn and winter?
In autumn, the air humidity decreases, and the moisture content of the stratum corneum also drops sharply. As the temperature decreases, the skin's sebaceous glands secrete less and less oil, and the skin's ability to lock water is also reduced. When the cool autumn wind blows, it takes away more moisture from the skin, and the skin barrier becomes more fragile.
What principles should be followed in skin care in autumn and winter?
1. Avoid excessive cleansing of the skin, avoid overheating of the water temperature, and avoid using alkaline soap and bath solution when taking a bath to reduce irritation to the skin.
2. After bathing, make skin hydrating: Choose safe, non-toxic and non-irritating emollients, especially in dry areas, such as limbs, heels, palms, etc.
3. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins B and C, eat a light diet, eat less spicy, irritating, high-oil and high-sugar foods to avoid getting angry.
4. Avoid staying up late: Ensure adequate sleep, speed up skin metabolism, and maintain good skin.
5. Do a good job of sun protection: Although the sunlight in autumn has weakened, the ultraviolet intensity is enough to cause damage to the skin. Therefore, sun protection in autumn cannot be ignored.
6. People with allergic constitutions should wear masks and glasses when they go out to enjoy flowers or go out for a walk to reduce direct skin exposure to avoid causing various allergic symptoms; use cosmetics with caution.
7. If you change cosmetics, you must first try it on a small scale to observe whether there is any allergic problem to the product.
How should I deal with itchy and squashing in autumn and winter?
1. Choose mild and non-irritating skin moisturizing products, such as lotions containing ceramide components; or use topical ointments with urea , glycerol and other ingredients, which can effectively relieve skin dryness, and you can also choose a combination of various ingredients. It is recommended to apply it once before going out in the morning and once before going to bed after taking a shower at night.
2. If there is mild itching, antihistamines can be used on the basis of moisturizing. Avoid scratching: The scratching process can easily lead to skin damage, intensified moisture loss, and form a vicious cycle.
3. If there is allergies, avoid contact with the allergenic agent again and visit the hospital's dermatology department.
4. If atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, etc. occur, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in the dermatology department in a timely manner.
