How to do dry and itchy skin in winter?

In winter, the climate is dry, and the skin is particularly itchy. Below, I sorted out the solutions to skin itching in winter. Let's have a look.

How to keep the skin clean when it is dry and itchy in winter, but don't take a bath every day.

Keeping your skin clean is the most important thing. Taking a bath every day is not recommended. It is too harmful to protect the cuticle and oil of the skin, which hinders the natural protection and moisturizing function and is more likely to dry and itch. Generally, if the weather is cold in winter, it is better to take a bath every few days. But if you exercise, do a lot of physical work, sweat, or get a lot of dust in outdoor activities, then you really need to take a bath to clean your skin.

If there are no special circumstances, generally take a bath every 2-3 days, and the effect is better.

Don't use too hot water for bathing.

In the past, when it was particularly cold in winter, I liked to take a bath with very hot water, about 40 degrees, especially in itchy places. It felt a little hot when I rushed up. In fact, please remember, later I realized that this was a very wrong thing. If this happens to your skin, you should pay special attention not to rinse it with too hot water, which will easily hurt your skin, affect your basic metabolic function and only aggravate your dry and itchy symptoms. So try not to use too hot water, as long as it is not cold.

Don't use shower gel every time.

As for the use of shower gel, I used to feel that if I didn't use shower gel every time, I always felt that my body was not clean. In fact, this is also a bad habit. Too frequent use of shower gel will also cause more oil on the skin to be neutralized and washed away, especially for dry skin, which needs the protection of these natural oils. So it is better to use it once or twice every once in a while. I usually do.

When taking a bath, don't rub the itchy place.

Every time I take a shower, when the hot water is flushed, the itchy place is even more itchy. I believe that many people, like me, wipe it with a towel every time until their hands are tired and they are red all over. Every time they come out of the shower, my wife asks in surprise? What's the matter with you? Now, I am slowly restraining myself, scratching as little as possible, and the towel is gentle, trying to protect my skin. It is also important not to rub and scratch the skin. Be sure to hold back.

Pay attention to skin moisturizing and apply moisturizing skin care products after bathing.

Last weekend, I specially asked my wife to buy me a moisturizing lotion. After taking a bath at night, I will apply a little to moisturize the itchy place. This effect is quite good. I feel that at least after applying it every day these days, it basically doesn't itch at night. It will be much better during the day. So, after taking a shower, remember to apply moisturizing lotion to sleep, and don't disturb the big man. Better than scratching around during the day.

Wear cotton clothes as close as possible.

Actually, I will only mention this, so I won't say much. I believe everyone's underwear is cotton. Cotton-padded jacket is soft and breathable, which has a good protective effect on the skin and is the most comfortable. But just pay attention when buying clothes. When buying clothes, pay attention to avoid pure cotton, and don't be cheated.

Pay attention to diet, eat more greasy food and less spicy food.

Next, let's pay attention to our diet. In fact, for people with dry skin, it is easy to dry because of less oil, so it is better to supplement food rich in oil appropriately. What's missing is what's needed. There are many foods rich in oil, such as peanuts, sesame seeds, fat meat, pork belly, sausages, drupes, shortcakes, etc., which are all high-fat foods. But be careful not to eat too much. If you don't exercise much in winter, it's not good to eat a big fat man at once.

In addition, try to eat less spicy and irritating food, which is also good for the skin.

Drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and keep your skin hydrated.

This is actually very important. First of all, you should get into the habit of drinking water frequently. Don't wait until you are thirsty to remember to drink water. If I go to work as usual, the first thing I do when I get to the company in the morning is to drink a full glass of water, and have another drink around 1 1. After work at noon and afternoon, I will naturally pick up the cup and drink a little. If you don't, make up, increase the number of times you drink water, and don't drink too much at a time. As for diet, in winter and Chinese New Year, food is more colorful, and you can eat big fish and meat until you can hold on. I also want to remind you that it is very important to supplement vegetables and fruits as much as possible for dry skin.

Ensure adequate sleep and let the skin repair.

Sleeping in winter, at least for me, is basically guaranteed, because going to bed earlier than in summer and getting up later than in summer naturally means sleeping much more. But for many young people living in cities now, it doesn't seem to have much impact, and nightlife is rich all year round. What I want to say is, if you want to make your dry skin not itchy and more moist and comfortable, go to bed as early as possible.
