What to do about dry skin in winter

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
To relieve dry skin during winter, you can take the following measures: 1. Choose moisturizers or lotions with high hydration properties and apply them multiple times a day to dry areas, especially immediately after bathing to lock in skin moisture. 2. Use gentle bathing products, avoid washing with excessively hot water, and minimize the loss of natural skin oils. 3. Use a humidifier to increase indoor humidity and maintain moist air, which helps the skin retain moisture. 4. Wear soft, breathable clothing and avoid rough or tight-fitting garments to reduce friction and irritation on the skin. 5. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins and water, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, to hydrate the skin from within.
