What to do about dry, itchy skin in autumn

Dry and itchy skin during autumn is a common problem, caused by the dry climate, reduced moisture in the air, and decreased natural skin hydration, leading to skin dehydration. The following measures can help improve the condition:

1. Drink more water: Increase fluid intake in autumn to replenish body moisture and alleviate dry skin.

2. Eat foods rich in vitamins: Vitamin A helps maintain skin integrity and function, while vitamin B promotes metabolism and reduces dryness. Consume more vitamin A-rich foods such as carrots, spinach, and animal liver, as well as vitamin B-rich foods like whole grains and legumes.

3. Maintain a light diet: Avoid excessive spicy or irritating foods, which may worsen dryness and itching.

4. Maintain indoor humidity: Indoor air tends to be dry in autumn; using a humidifier can increase humidity levels and reduce skin dryness.

5. Wear comfortable clothing: Choose soft, breathable clothes and bed linens to avoid friction and irritation to the skin.

If symptoms worsen or fail to improve, seek medical attention promptly.
