Dr. Liu Wenmin

Dry and peeling skin during autumn and winter can be improved with the following measures:

1. Enhance moisturization: Choose moisturizing creams rich in natural oils or plant extracts, and apply them morning and evening to lock in skin moisture.

2. Avoid over-cleansing: Use gentle body washes or facial cleansers, and avoid washing your face or body with excessively hot water to prevent loss of skin moisture.

3. Maintain indoor humidity: Use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity, which helps keep the skin moist.

4. Adjust diet: Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins A and E, such as nuts, fish, and carrots, to promote healthy skin.

5. Dress appropriately: Wear clothing made of pure cotton or other breathable fabrics, and avoid synthetic fibers or non-breathable materials.
