Dry and itchy skin during winter can be relieved with the following measures:
1. Gentle cleansing: Choose mild facial and body cleansers, avoiding over-cleansing that may lead to loss of skin moisture.
2. Thorough moisturizing: Immediately apply a moisturizing lotion or cream after each bath or facial wash to lock in skin moisture.
3. Indoor humidification: Use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity, helping the skin stay moist.
4. Avoid irritation: Wear cotton clothing to avoid skin irritation from synthetic fabrics; avoid using skincare products with strong irritants.
5. Dietary adjustment: Increase intake of foods rich in water and vitamins, such as fruits and vegetables, to nourish the skin from within.
If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional promptly.
