Five tricks

1. Eat more coarse grains, such as oats, brown rice, corn, pumpkin, whole wheat bread, etc., which can supplement B vitamins and strengthen the skin. Red dates, wolfberries, and various nuts have the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and nourishing the skin, so you can eat more of them appropriately. Spicy food will damage yin fluid and aggravate dry skin; fishy and wind-inducing foods such as lamb and seafood will increase skin itching, so it is recommended to eat less or not eat them.

2. Wear loose cotton or silk clothes to avoid friction between chemical fiber clothing and skin, and avoid irritation to the skin caused by static electricity from clothes. It is recommended to wash newly bought underwear before wearing to prevent skin allergies caused by chemical residues in the clothing manufacturing process.

3. Ensure sleep, relax and exercise moderately.

4. Strengthen skin touch. Touching a baby can help the baby stabilize his emotions and develop healthily. The same goes for the skin, which needs our care to be healthy. Dryness, itching, stinging and other phenomena are all the skin's protest to us. Although scratching with sharp nails can temporarily relieve the problem, it will cause greater damage to the skin, thus creating a vicious cycle and causing the itching to become more and more severe. The method of touch is: apply moisturizing lotion or essential oil all over your body before going to bed every night, and gently massage the skin all over your body with warm palms and fingertips. For areas with severe itching, increase the strength appropriately.

5. Actively treat medical diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, etc. that can cause or aggravate skin itching.
