What to do if your skin is itchy and dry

As autumn and winter approach, people's bodies become extremely dehydrated. The extremely low temperature and dry air often cause our skin to be dehydrated. Once the skin is dry, it is prone to itching. For people with sensitive skin, they may also suffer from seasonal dermatitis. Although this is not a serious illness, it can make people feel very uncomfortable when it occurs. It not only affects daily life, but also seriously affects the quality of sleep. So what should you do if your skin is itchy and dry? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

1. No need to take a bath every day. You don’t need to take a bath every day in autumn and winter, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. The bath water temperature should be around 40 degrees Celsius and not too high. Just wash for 5-10 minutes each time. It is best to choose a neutral or weakly acidic shower gel, or even not use shower gel at all.

2. Apply lotion first and then dry your body. Applying lotion before your skin is completely dry after bathing can allow moisture and nutrients to be more fully absorbed.

3. Keep a tank of goldfish to replenish water in the room. If your body allows, lower the heating by a few degrees, use a humidifier or keep a tank of goldfish to replenish water in the room. This can reduce skin itching caused by high temperature and dry air.

4. Choose pure cotton underwear. Soft and less irritating clothes can prevent the itching from spreading further, increase breathability, and will not cause allergies after contact with the skin.

5. Overnight tea can effectively relieve itching. Use warm overnight tea to wash your hair or wipe your body. The fluoride contained in the tea can quickly relieve itching and can also prevent and treat eczema.

6. Eat more foods that moisten the lungs and promote the production of body fluids. Drink more water in winter and eat more vegetables, fruits and soy products to reduce water loss in the body. You can also eat foods that moisten the lungs and produce body fluids, such as pears, lilies, dates, lotus seeds, white fungus, etc., and avoid or eat less spicy food. You should also eat more foods rich in vitamins A and B.

The above are the solutions I introduced to you on how to deal with itchy and dry skin. In addition to applying moisturizing skin care products in the morning and evening, it is recommended that you wash your face with warm water and eat more fruits and vegetables. If the skin discomfort is serious, it is recommended that you go to a dermatologist for testing and treatment. In addition, it is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits and avoid spicy food. Pay attention to personal hygiene and make sure to drink at least 1.5L of water every day to meet your body's needs.
