My skin is dry in winter. How can I make it moisturized?

Winter in the north is really a love-hate thing. It's so dry! It's so cold! It feels like my face is being sucked dry.

and

When I lie down before going to bed, I feel itchy all over.

The more I scratch, the more itchy it gets.

How to solve it correctly?

Dermatologists tell you what to do

The outermost layer of the skin epidermis is the stratum corneum, which has a certain amount of water content to keep the skin moist. Normal stratum corneum usually contains 10%-30% water. When the water content of the stratum corneum is less than 10%, dryness, tightness, roughness and scaling will occur.

●As we age, our skin ages, its moisturizing effect and barrier function gradually weaken, and the content of natural moisturizing factor decreases;

●Dry and cold climate in winter with low humidity;

● Certain skin lesions, such as psoriasis, ichthyosis, etc.;

● Environmental and chemical factors, such as detergents such as washing powder, soap, dishwashing liquid, organic solvents such as alcohol, and prolonged air-conditioning environment;

●Eating and sleeping habits, such as partiality, drinking less water, insomnia, etc.;

●Dry skin.

You don’t have to follow all the following tips. Just choose a few that suit you and stick to them. Day after day, year after year, you will have hydrated skin. Come on~~

Drinking water can regulate the body's metabolism and eliminate toxins from the body.

As the saying goes, "replenish what you lack", so if your skin is dehydrated, drink more water~

Drink 8 glasses of water a day (about 1500ml), and please note that it must be boiled water.

Juice, drinks, coffee and milk tea cannot replace drinking water, and they contain too much sugar!

If you want your skin to be hydrated and not dry, you should use facial mask regularly.

It is best to use a cleansing + hydrating mask together. Depending on your skin's tolerance, you can clean once a week and use a hydrating mask 2-3 times. You can also use an eye mask, lip mask, neck mask, etc. at the same time to get hydrated~

Do you still need to apply sunscreen and primer in winter? It has nothing to do with moisturizing!

No No No, sun protection is something you need to take seriously all year round.

The northwest wind is "hard" in winter, and once the skin is damaged, it becomes more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays.

If sun protection and isolation are done well, it is like adding two layers of protection to the skin, which is more conducive to skin moisturizing. Just remember to remove makeup before going to bed and everything will be fine.

It is not recommended to use too hot water for bathing, otherwise it will cause dry skin after bathing. Do not rub hard. It is best to choose shower gel and facial cleanser with mild properties and moisturizing ingredients. Try to use less cleansing gel with strong degreasing ingredients and alkaline soap with strong cleaning power.

Important things to say three times: Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize!

Don’t forget to apply moisturizer or body lotion after washing. Remember to apply it all over your body, not just on your face! This will make your skin smoother and less prone to dryness, itching and peeling.

Good sleeping habits and adequate sleep time are very important.

Taking a proper lunch break can also help eliminate fatigue and restore vitality.

Only by sleeping 6 to 8 hours a day and going to bed early and getting up early can you have good skin.

Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, which can not only replenish water, but also replenish vitamin C, vitamin B2, etc., making the skin smooth and tender.

Cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, green peppers, winter melon, spinach, apples, oranges, pears, strawberries, grapefruits, kiwis, etc. are all good choices.
