What to do about dry skin

When autumn and winter come, there are always a lot of skin problems that bother everyone. This is because the weather is relatively dry in autumn and winter, and the moisture in the air is lost quickly. Therefore, it is very easy to get dry skin, and because of dry skin, allergies or other skin diseases will always occur. This makes some beauty-loving women want to ask what to do with dry skin?

1. Take more vitamin C

Lack of vitamin C can easily make the skin rough and dry, leading to sensitive symptoms such as dermatitis and peeling. Among fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, pears and kiwi fruit are the first choice. Eating more of them can strengthen skin tissue and help fight against external allergies.

2. Wash bedding frequently

Bedding is also a major channel for the spread of allergens such as pollen and mites, so people with allergies should thoroughly wash their sheets, quilt covers and pillows in hot water at least once a week. In addition, people who are prone to allergies should dry their clothes in a dryer or hang them indoors after washing, and should not hang them outdoors.

3. Keep windows closed during pollen season

Pollen is one of the most common allergens. During the pollen season, it is best to close doors and windows to prevent pollen from flying in. When driving, you should also close the windows and turn on the air conditioner.

4. Don’t spend too much time outdoors

For people with allergies, when the "pollen index" (air pollen concentration) in the air is high, they should not spend too much time outdoors. Generally speaking, the concentration of pollen and other dust in the air is highest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so it is best to stay indoors during this time and try to minimize the time spent outdoors. When doing outdoor activities or exercising, try to do so in the early morning, evening, or after a shower.

5. Do not take medication without authorization

Without a diagnosis from a dermatologist, patients are advised not to go to the pharmacy to buy medicines on their own, because although some medicines are effective in suppressing inflammation, long-term use may produce side effects and endanger health.

6. Try using olive oil as a skin care product. Vitamins A, D and E in olive oil have a good therapeutic effect on dry and allergic skin. Using sugar cubes to moisturize the skin is a "secret recipe" of the older generation. Dissolve a sugar cube in a basin of hot water and then rub it on your body. It has a very good skin care effect.

7. It is very important not to forget to apply skin care products after bathing. When applying skin care products after bathing, be sure to apply them before drying your body.

8. Drink more warm or cool boiled water of good quality. Modern people eat a lot of dehydrated and processed refined foods for the sake of convenience, which will directly affect the absorption of water, causing the body to gradually become dehydrated and the skin to lose its luster. They should eat less spicy foods, beef, mutton, onions, garlic and other irritating foods. Tomatoes can help with digestion and anti-aging; carrots can relieve dry skin.

4. To deal with skin dehydration caused by using air conditioning, you can use spray mineral water to replenish moisture, and then use moisturizer to lock in the sprayed moisture.

What should we do about dry skin? Everyone also knows the specific treatment measures. I hope this is helpful to everyone. Paying attention to your diet and maintaining a reasonable lifestyle can be of great help. Water loss is relatively fast, so everyone should pay more attention to drinking water, so as to replenish the moisture of the skin in time.
