Dryness can itch the skin. If you want to get rid of this symptom, the necessary skin care and moisturizing tips will be an indispensable trick in your life!
1. Towel exfoliation
scrub products can make the skin smooth, but the particles in the scrub products will always rub off the outer layer of many fragile skin and make the skin dry. To make the skin smooth and moisturized, this seems a bit like the 22nd military regulation. How to remove dead skin on the face without letting the skin lose moisture? Use baby towels instead of scrubs (baby towels are softer than regular towels). Moisten the towel and massage in small circles on the face.
2. Wash your face with milk
Most cleaning products hide a dirty secret: they all contain a surfactant called sodium lauryl sulfate, which will absorb moisture from the skin. Try to choose a mild, soap-free and fragrance-free facial cleanser (the fragrant chemicals will also dry the skin). Or, you can continue to use your usual products, but replace the facial cleanser with milk 2 to 3 times a week to let the skin rest and improve the skin's hydration status. The lactic acid in milk is like a mild facial cleanser, and the fat in the milk can also provide additional moisture to the skin (so don't use skimmed ones, it is best to use whole milk). Introduce 3 ounces of milk into the cup, then dip in a soft towel to massage the skin (as mentioned before, this towel can also remove dead skin, you can kill two birds with one stone). Note that you must remove your eye makeup first, because milk and mascara do not fuse.
3. Moisturizing aloe mask
twice a week, using aloe mask can replenish skin moisture and reduce red blood and inflammation. Cut a piece of fresh aloe vera, apply aloe vera juice to a clean face, and wash off after 15 minutes. Or, choose some facial masks containing aloe.
4. Humidifier humidification
When you fall asleep, the skin enters a repaired state, but the dry indoor environment will cause the cells to shed faster, resulting in dry and rough skin. Add some water to the air (and add some to your face). A humidifier in the bedroom or a pot of water next to the radiator can also achieve the same effect. You can also put a pot of natural "humidifier" in the house-Boston palm, bamboo or fern, etc. These plants will evaporate water vapor and increase air humidity.
5. Eye moisturizing
thin and fragile skin-the skin around the eyes is the most dry area of the face. If your eyelids are red, dry, or itchy, apply a bit of cortisol cream (remember to remove the eye makeup first) several times a day to help the skin hydrate and reduce red blood.
6. Wash shampoo and conditioner When
washing your hair, shampoo and conditioner will inevitably flow through the face and body with water. Many hair care products contain a lot of cleansers and moisturizers. These substances will Deposited on the skin to form a film. Use a mild unscented soap or body wash to wash away the dry, itchy substances that keep your skin soft and moisturized.
7. Moisturizing essential oils
Do you think you can moisturize your skin by completely immersing it in water like a maniac? In fact, soaking in the bathtub for too long will destroy the body's natural ester barrier (or oil barrier), causing skin moisture to leak out. To prevent this, it is best to control the water temperature (hot water will dry the skin), add a few drops of almond essential oil, wheat germ essential oil, grape seed oil, and apricot kernel oil to the bathtub water. These essential oils form a comfortable moisturizing layer on the skin, which locks in moisture.
8. Hot olive oil hand protection
A DIY hot olive oil therapy can temporarily reduce dryness and cracks, making your hands look younger. Olive oil is rich in squalene, which helps to increase the skin's natural oils, while the heat helps olive oil penetrate deep into the skin. Heat half a cup of virgin olive oil in the microwave for 20 seconds, and then massage your hands with these oils. Wrap your hands in a plastic bag and soak in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes so that the olive oil will absorb better, then remove the bag. (In the end, you do n’t need to wash your hands. If you feel too greasy, you can wipe it with a hot towel.)
9. Glycerin Moisturizing
Add three drops of pure glycerin to your favorite moisturizing lotion. It is one of the most effective moisturizers. Helps increase skin moisture and locks in moisture.
10. Prevent peeling
If you have small red envelopes on your skin, and some areas have some peeling, then you need to use some medicinal moisturizers. These moisturizers contain ammonium lactate and lactic acid, which help calm the skin and reduce peeling. The natural exfoliating properties of lactic acid remove dead skin cells, allowing moisturizing ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. Try moisturizing exfoliating mud, cleanse the skin, apply to the face, wash off after 10 minutes.
11. Moisturizing oatmeal
Dryness can make the skin itchy. To get rid of this symptom, choose a bath lotion, soap and lotion containing oatmeal. Oatmeal is a natural moisturizer that locks in moisture and fights inflammation, thereby slowing itching.
