The cold winter is coming, and various skin problems are coming with it. The most common ones are unbearable itching, dryness and bleeding all over the body. This situation occurs because the air in winter is relatively dry, the temperature is low, the blood supply to the skin is reduced, the secretion of sebaceous glands is weakened, and the skin lacks nourishment!
So how to prevent it?
1. When washing your hands, feet, and face, you should try to use as little soap or medicated soap and other alkaline toiletries as possible. You should also appropriately reduce the number of baths, not too frequently, preferably once a week. After bathing, you can apply crack-healing cream, glycerin and other non-irritating oils. It is best to wear pure cotton underwear.
2. You should do more outdoor activities, rub your hands and face regularly, and move your hand and foot joints to promote blood circulation and enhance the skin's cold resistance.
3. Pay attention to dietary nutrition and eat more foods containing unsaturated fatty acids and protein. Unsaturated fatty acids are abundant in sesame seeds and walnuts. Eating more of these foods can promote oil secretion. Soybeans and soy products contain more protein. Eating more of these foods can promote metabolism and play a role in repairing the skin.
4. Aging cuticles require exfoliation, but skin metabolism slows down in winter. Excessive exfoliation will cause the skin to become very thin, prone to sensitivity and redness, especially rough exfoliation, which is more likely to damage the skin, so the frequency of exfoliation should be reduced.
5. Supplement vitamin C. Enough vitamin C can enhance the body's resistance, restore skin elasticity, and help prevent dermatitis , peeling and other phenomena caused by dry skin. Therefore, you should eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C in winter.
