Winter weather is cold and the air is dry. The sweat secreted by the human sebaceous glands and sweat glands is reduced, and the sebaceous membrane is also significantly thinner. Sebaceous membrane is most afraid of frequent irritation and high temperature destruction, if frequent bathing and a large number of use of bath liquid, it will make the normal keratinocytes on the skin fall off too much, the sebaceous membrane will become thinner, further leading to the destruction of the skin barrier, causing dry and itchy skin and worsening of dander.
