Why do legs have dandruff in winter?

Winter is cold and dry, and the skin becomes dry and rough. Many people will find that when they take off their clothes at night, they will see a layer of white dander on their legs, and even the inner layer of their trouser legs has fallen off, which is very annoying. Why is this?

Whether the skin is delicate and moist depends on the water content in the skin. The skin consists of three parts: epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. There is a stratum corneum on the outermost side of the epidermis, and the sebum film on the surface is used to prevent the skin from losing water. There is also an intercellular lipid in the stratum corneum, which is used to keep moisture in the skin. If the metabolism of the skin becomes slow, the sebum produced by the sebum membrane will gradually decrease, coupled with water loss and external stimulation, it will become dry and dandruff will appear on the skin.

This situation is very common, and it can happen to both men and women. So, is there any good way to solve this problem?

The first thing is to keep your legs warm. In winter, many women don't like to wear thick clothes because they love beauty. The cold air in winter will take away the moisture from the legs and make the skin dry. Therefore, as long as the expression is tepid, it is not desirable.

Second, change your personal clothes frequently. Because of the cold weather in winter, most people don't take a bath every day, but even if they don't take a bath, they should always change their clothes. The reason for this is to prevent the dander on the legs from remaining on the clothes, leaving side effects. Dandruff rubs between skin and clothes, which may generate static electricity and aggravate peeling.

Third, the bath water temperature should not be too high. Don't use too hot water when taking a bath to prevent excessive sebum washing, which makes the skin drier and easy to peel off.

Fourth, properly apply moisturizing products. When washing your feet, try to clean your calves. After washing, apply body lotion to the calf, and then massage it properly to make the calf absorb normally.

Fifth, choose cotton trousers, don't wear pants that are too tight and the fabric is airtight. If you already have dandruff, you need to choose cotton long pants with strong breathability and moisture retention.

Sixth, pay attention to diet and hydration. Water is the source of life. In dry winter, you should replenish enough water and drink plenty of water to prevent the skin from peeling due to lack of water. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins to prevent chapped skin caused by vitamin deficiency. Eating more foods rich in collagen can ensure skin elasticity.

Seventh, do a good job in the maintenance of face and neck skin. Choosing facial cleanser and skin care products suitable for your skin, protecting your skin's respiratory function, and deeply and slowly massaging your face and neck will help improve your skin's blood circulation.
