When the skin becomes dry and starts peeling, you can take the following steps to improve the condition:
1. Drink enough water daily to keep your body well-hydrated, which helps maintain skin moisture.
2. Choose a moisturizing lotion or cream suitable for your skin type, and apply it to your face and dry areas of the body morning and night to lock in moisture.
3. Use lukewarm water when bathing, avoiding excessively hot water and harsh shower products. After washing, gently pat the skin dry instead of rubbing vigorously to prevent irritation.
4. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and fatty acids, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and fish, which can help improve dry skin.
5. In dry environments, use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity and reduce moisture loss from the skin.
