How to relieve skin itching quickly in winter?

In winter, the weather gets cold and the air becomes dry. At this time, many people's skin will itch, especially when they just take off their clothes before going to bed at night, and they itch badly from arm to leg. What the hell is going on here?

It turns out that the climate in autumn and winter is cold, and sebaceous gland secretions are difficult to discharge to the body surface. Scientific detection shows that the melting point of fat secreted by human sebaceous glands is around 30℃. In the cold season, skin fat almost condenses into a solid state, which is more difficult to discharge, making people's skin more obviously dry in winter. Especially for the elderly, with the increase of age, the metabolic function gradually declines. Because of the decrease of endocrine and the disorder of sebaceous gland secretion, the skin will be dry and itchy.

Moreover, the activity function of skin sweat glands is obviously lower than that of young adults, and the amount of perspiration is reduced, which makes the skin surface lack of moisture, which is of course drier and more itchy in dry winter.
