What to do about itchy and dry skin

Doctor's answer (1)

1. Keep the skin clean: Use gentle facial cleansers or body washes, and avoid cleansing products containing harsh or irritating ingredients. 2. Maintain skin hydration: Use moisturizing skincare products containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or glycerin, like lotions or creams. 3. Avoid excessive exfoliation: Over-exfoliating can damage the skin's protective barrier, making it more prone to dryness and itching. It is recommended to choose mild exfoliating products and limit their frequency of use. 4. Avoid prolonged exposure to dry environments: If the living environment is particularly dry, consider using a humidifier to increase indoor humidity.
