Hello, facial itching may result from excessive skin dryness or a dermatological condition. In dry weather, significant moisture loss—especially when hydration is inadequate—can easily lead to facial itching. To address this, increase your water intake and use a high-quality moisturizing cream. If the itching stems from a photosensitivity-related skin disorder triggered by sun exposure, strict sun protection measures are essential: avoid outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours, wear a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors, and opt for long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever possible. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
