What to do about dry and allergic skin in winter

Skin is prone to dryness and allergies during winter, so a series of measures should be taken to address this. Choose gentle, non-irritating skincare products with moisturizing and soothing properties, and avoid ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances that may trigger allergic reactions. Maintain proper skin cleansing, but avoid over-cleansing, and use lukewarm water rather than hot water when washing your face. Apply a moisturizer promptly after cleansing to lock in skin moisture.

In terms of diet, consume more foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids—such as walnuts and fish—to strengthen the skin's resistance. Pay attention to indoor humidity; using a humidifier can help increase air moisture. When going outdoors, take protective measures such as wearing masks and scarves to reduce irritation from cold air. If skin allergy symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly and use antiallergic medications under a doctor’s guidance.

If symptoms worsen or persist, medical care should be sought immediately.
