Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
To thicken the stratum corneum, follow these methods:
1. Daily skincare: Choose gentle cleansers and moisturizing creams, avoiding over-cleansing that may damage the stratum corneum. Ensure adequate skin hydration by regularly using moisturizing masks or serums.
2. Avoid irritation: Discontinue using skincare products containing irritating ingredients such as alcohol and fragrances. Apply sunscreen daily to protect the skin from UV damage.
3. Nutritional support: Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins A and C, such as carrots and kiwifruit, which aid in skin cell repair and regeneration.
4. Professional treatment: Under a doctor's guidance, use medications such as tretinoin cream or salicylic acid ointment to promote thickening of the stratum corneum.
