The dry winter is really a disaster for the skin. Cold wind, rough and heavy clothes and indoor heating will make the skin that is extremely short of water more "overwhelmed". Although hydrating has become a hot topic, people always pay more attention to "face" and ignore the simple fact that every inch of skin needs to be cared for. Moreover, the proliferation of cosmetics usually creates an illusion that only a pile of skin care products can achieve the effect of skin care and beauty. In fact, the cultivation of some small habits in life is the most effective way to beauty. Just like martial arts experts often recruit invisibility, the following seven simple and practical moisturizing methods can keep you moist "quietly". Part 1: Can drinking water prevent dry skin? Many beauty books will suggest that drinking at least 7 to 8 glasses of water a day can prevent dryness and have tender and smooth skin. Is that really the case? But in fact, we usually find that although this beauty rule has been implemented to the end, we still have to face the problem of dry skin. To solve this problem, dermatologists believe that if you are completely dehydrated, your skin will be dry; But if it is not serious enough to dehydrate, drinking water to prevent or improve the problem of dry skin will not be effective. Therefore, although drinking water is a very important way to maintain health, it does not mean that all problems can be completely solved. There is still a lot of homework to do to fight the dry winter. Do you know how to take a bath? Seeing this question, it is estimated that most people will laugh. Isn't it just a bath? Who wouldn't? But what kind of bathing method can make the body absorb water better? I'm afraid not many people know this. In the dry winter, when we see some white dander on our bodies, we will take it for granted to take a hot bath to wash them off. However, you will find that the "good" habit of taking a bath every day can't drive away those annoying dander, and higher water temperature can only temporarily relieve itching. In fact, these "good" habits will only aggravate the problem of dry skin. The healthiest bathing habit in winter should be to soak in warm water 15 minutes. Bathing can make water better absorbed by the skin, and moderate water temperature will not remove too much body sebum. Therefore, moderate frequency and appropriate water temperature are the beneficial bathing methods for the skin. Part III: Follow-up work is more important. Many people are limited to cleaning the skin, but ignore the follow-up work after cleaning. Maybe you can't feel anything in hot and humid summer, but in winter, you will immediately find that various skin problems gradually surface. In addition to developing good bathing habits mentioned in the previous article, you should apply a layer of lubricating oil all over your body after each bath. Because, even if it has been completely soaked in water, water will still evaporate from the body, and only moisturizing emulsion can help lock water. Especially for people who often take a bath, this step is even more important. Part four: Don't wipe your body too dry. MM, who usually does some basic facial care, knows that it will be better to rub lotion when you have just finished applying toner. Similarly, it is much better to apply moisturizing lotion on moist skin immediately after bathing than to use it on dry skin. Of course, it doesn't mean that the emulsion is wet all over. The correct way is to pat it dry with a towel-this humidity is just right for emulsion lubrication. So be sure to remember that locking a certain amount of moisture to the skin as much as possible is a very basic point in the anti-drying method. Part V: Grains are not just for eating. Cereal is not only a very nutritious drink, but also can be used for bathing! Pour two cups of colloidal oatmeal in a bathtub filled with warm water to relieve the skin. If there is no bathtub, you can also use oatmeal as soap. The method is simple. Wrap oatmeal in a towel, soak it in water, and then wring out the excess water, so you can wipe it on your body like an ordinary bath towel. Be careful when choosing soap. Most soaps contain lye, which will cause great irritation to dry skin when it is too alkaline. Therefore, for people with dry skin, use strong alkaline soap as little as possible and switch to "high fat" soap. So-called "high-fat" soaps generally contain a lot of fatty substances-cream, cocoa butter, coconut oil or lanolin. Part VII: Humidifier-People who stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time are often more prone to dry and itchy skin. This is because heating will reduce the indoor humidity to 10% or lower, and 30-40% is the most ideal humidity to keep the skin moist. If conditions permit, it is best to install a humidity regulator indoors. Of course, if you think that simply installing a humidifier can be done once and for all, it is all wet. First of all, humidifiers, like air conditioners, have power. A small humidifier in a big house won't do anything, but if you put a small one beside the bed, it will have a certain effect. Secondly, close the door while turning on the humidifier. If it is difficult to install a humidifier, putting a basin of water in the room can also increase the humidity of the room to some extent.
