The weather is cold and my skin itches. What should I do?

Every winter, many people's skin will itch and desquamate, especially legs and arms. Especially when you cover the quilt at night and get ready for bed, it often itches unbearable. I have to scratch my skin to stop itching. Sometimes I just want to scratch my skin to stop itching. But it tends to itch more and more. Middle-aged and elderly people and people with dry skin are more serious. Some people often scratch their skin and go to the dermatologist to see a doctor.

Why is it particularly prone to skin itching in winter? In winter,

The climate is cold, mainly blowing from the inland, even in the south, and the air is particularly dry. Cold weather makes the sweat glands and sebaceous glands of human skin contract and inactive, which greatly reduces the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands and makes the skin dry and desquamate.

After finding the cause of skin itching, we can take measures against it. First of all, indoor air can be humidified, you can buy an air humidifier, or you can use soil methods, such as sprinkling water on the ground and planting plants indoors, which is more common in the north. Secondly, you can eat more foods rich in oil in winter, especially plant fat. If you are obese or have hyperlipidemia, it is even more unsuitable to eat animal fat. In addition, you don't have to use soap or shower gel every time you take a bath, because there are less skin secretions and less body odor in winter, which is unnecessary. Sometimes it's just for the perineum, armpits, hair, etc. After bathing, you can use some skin care products containing oil on particularly dry skin and exposed parts such as hands and face.
