When experiencing peeling skin on the hands, it is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals to promote skin repair and maintain healthy skin. Specifically, vegetables rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, tomatoes, and spinach, can help maintain normal skin keratinization and reduce peeling. For fruits, apples, oranges, and kiwifruit, which are rich in vitamin C, provide strong antioxidant protection for the skin and can help alleviate symptoms of hand peeling. In addition, it is also beneficial to consume适量 amounts of nuts rich in vitamin E, such as almonds and walnuts, which help moisturize the skin and promote skin repair. In summary, when experiencing peeling skin on the hands, maintaining a balanced diet and consuming more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and minerals can help improve skin condition and reduce peeling. At the same time, care should also be taken to avoid excessive contact with irritants, and to keep the hands clean and moisturized to promote skin recovery.
