Peeling, flaking, and enlarged pores? If your skin also has these conditions, don't guess, this is the manifestation of dry skin. In winter, the skin begins to look like fish scales, with clear visible textures and itching. The skin is the body's natural protective layer, like an onion, with layers upon layers. In the skin, each layer has its own function. Under normal circumstances, the water content of the outermost stratum corneum should be around 10%. If it is lower than this indicator, the skin will generally be dull, dry, flaky, and even have fine wrinkles. The whole face feels tight, and there is no moisture when you touch it with your palm. The skin on the limbs is dry and even peels. There is an itchy feeling after taking a bath... Dongdong Miao wants to say that these are all the skin telling you - it is "thirsty". Data shows that dry skin has become a common phenomenon. In winter, 70% of women think their body skin is very dry, and 40% have dry skin on their face; in summer, the proportions are 34% and 15%, respectively. Why does this happen? Studies have shown that the decrease in estrogen levels in the body, the decrease in sebum secretion, and changes in the external climate can all lead to a decrease in skin moisture, making the skin rough and weakening its resistance. Over time, this can lead to habitual dryness. In addition, lack of sleep and excessive weight loss can cause considerable harm to the body, blood circulation will deteriorate, the skin will lack vitality and will easily become dry and rough. Many people have this feeling: the more you use skin care products, the drier your skin becomes! Especially after washing your face, it is almost dry to the point of bursting. This may be because the cleansing product is too strong and takes away the natural oils of the skin. Some people also learn the skin care methods of celebrities and apply facial masks frequently, twice or three times a day. Dongdong Miao secretly tells you: this will make the skin dependent on the mask and lose its ability to resist the outside world~ To improve dry skin, you also need to use the right medicine. For oily skin, the most important thing is cleansing to remove excess oil and dust from the pores; for combination skin, the T-zone of the skin is oily, and the area around the eyes and cheeks are dry, so skin care is best done by area. Dry skin is an aging type of skin that is prone to fine wrinkles and reacts strongly to external temperature and humidity. You can apply body lotion, hand cream and other products. Sensitive skin is thinner and sensitive to external stimuli. This type of skin should be careful when trying products, and stop using them immediately if any discomfort occurs. In terms of food, eat more foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin B2, as well as fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. You can also eat more fruits and honey, as they can slow down the absorption of water and help the body retain water better. Of course, there are some foods that the skin "resists", such as sugary drinks, foods containing trans fatty acids, such as milk tea, cola, popcorn, cakes, etc. These foods may not only cause skin inflammation, but also increase the burden of blood sugar in the body.
