How to save dry skin? Chinese medicine teaches you a few easy ways to deal with it

In the windy and dry season, if the dryness is too strong, it is easy to have symptoms such as dry mouth, eyes, ears and nose, and dry and flaky skin. To change this symptom, pay attention to increasing the amount of foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, and appropriately increase the intake of some sour and sweet foods (except for those with underlying diseases such as diabetes), because sour and sweet can nourish yin, which can also fight against dryness and relieve symptoms.
