What should I do if my skin itches during winter?

Skin itching during winter can be relieved through the following methods:

1. Adjust bathing habits: Reduce bathing frequency to 1–2 times per week. Keep water temperature around 35°C, and avoid using hot water or strong soaps and shower gels that strip natural oils.

2. Moisturize the skin: Immediately after bathing, apply a moisturizer such as silicone cream or petroleum jelly generously to dry, flaky areas. Apply 1–3 times daily depending on the severity of dryness.

3. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to maintain adequate hydration in the body. Also, use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity and help relieve dry skin.

4. Choose appropriate clothing: Wear loose, comfortable undergarments made primarily of cotton. Avoid tight-fitting clothes or synthetic fabrics that may irritate the skin through friction.
