It is not appropriate to take a bath too often in winter
winter is cold and dry in winter. In this environment, skin is particularly vulnerable if it does not pay attention to protection and maintenance. Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University Department of Dermatology director Wang Fei pointed out that the cold weather in particular should pay attention to the warmth and care of the skin, to prevent the occurrence of skin diseases such as frostbite, lipophilic dermatitis and so on. It is simple to do the following points:
keep skin moist and bath should not be too frequent. The winter bath has four taboos: avoid too often, avoid hot water, avoid rubbing too heavy, avoid soap alkaline too strong, otherwise it is very easy to destroy the skin surface originally not much sebum, let the skin more dry, so it is more itchy, chap, and cause the disease of lipophilic dermatitis. In particular, we should avoid the misunderstanding that "itching is because it is not clean and should take more baths". It is advisable to take frequent baths every Monday to two times in winter. After washing, you can wipe some liquorice oil and emollient cream to keep the skin moist.
pay attention to heat preservation and cold protection. Winter outdoor air temperature is very low, the skin exposed to the outside parts are very easy to freeze, causing chilblain and so on. Therefore, we should pay special attention to the cold protection and heat preservation of these parts. We can wrap up the scarf, wear gloves, masks, ear masks, and wear cotton shoes to keep warm. They can also rub both hands and ears at any time, so as to advance the feet and jump, thus promoting blood circulation. Avoid wearing wet clothes and shoes and socks. Once frozen, do not immediately use hot water to warm or roast with fire. This will accelerate the freezing of the frozen place and make the frozen part slowly rewarming itself.
pay attention to diet and exercise. When skin is dry, you should replenish foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin E, such as pig liver, fish, eggs, cod liver oil and so on. You can also eat sesame (sesame oil), soybeans, peanuts and other foods, they contain unsaturated fatty acids, can keep the skin moist. Usually drink more water, eat some fruits with high moisture content, and replenish the skin moisture in time. At the same time, pepper, onion, garlic, wine, strong tea and other stimulant things to eat as little as possible, so as not to cause allergic reactions to the skin or aggravate the symptoms of skin diseases. In addition, skin exercises can be enhanced by rubbing, washing cold water and sunbathing, and enhancing the adaptability of the skin to adapt to the cold environment.
