Q
1. Why does the skin deteriorate in winter?
Liu Hongxia: The winter climate is cold and particularly dry, and in order to maintain body temperature, the pores of our bodies begin to close tightly. When the pores are occluded, the secretion and excretion of the sebaceous glands are reduced, and the surface of our skin gets less oil, and the skin will dry out. Secondly, in winter, after the skin temperature comes down, the skin's own ability to regulate will become weaker, coupled with the occlusion of pores, many sweats, oils and other excretion that should have been excluded from the body cannot be excreted, and these unfavorable factors will cause our skin to have various problems.
2. How to prevent frostbite on hands and feet?
Liu Hongxia: First of all, we must enhance the physique, let the yang in the body be a little stronger, for example, it is best to eat more lamb, because the mutton is warm supplement, we have a formula in Chinese medicine called angelica ginger mutton soup, lamb put a little angelica, ginger, there is a good role in warm and warm supplementation; secondly, it is better to soak the feet with hot water every night, it is best to use some Chinese medicine such as angelica, dried ginger, astragalus, etc. to improve the body's ability to resist cold; finally, we must do a good job of protection, wear thick socks, wear thick gloves, thick boots, knee pads, etc. It should be noted that if frostbite occurs, you must not use hot water to burn, or use the stove to bake, which will cause greater damage to the skin, it is best to rub it with something cooler, such as hand cream, sheep's tail oil, etc., so that the blood veins of the frostbite place are smooth, and the frostbitten skin will soon recover.
3. Can a cold cause skin diseases?
Liu Hongxia: Most colds are viral or bacterial colds. If it is a viral cold, the skin will have chickenpox, rubella, measles, herpes and other virus-related skin diseases; if it is a cold caused by bacteria, our skin is prone to purpura, urticaria, eczema and other problems. Colds can also aggravate skin disease symptoms such as psoriasis, so people with sensitive skin must try not to catch a cold. Cold medicines containing antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to drug-induced dermatitis, we recommend cold patients to drink more hot water, sweat to let the virus bacteria drain out, do not eat antibiotics, cold medicine should also be taken under the guidance of the doctor's advice.
4. How to clean the skin in daily life?
Liu Hongxia: Children in primary school have not yet entered puberty, and sebum secretion is relatively balanced, so it is recommended to wash it with water. Middle and high school children enter puberty and begin to develop, hormone levels change, it is recommended to wash the skin with a soap with strong cleaning ability; especially boys, you can use boric acid soap for cleaning. Adults can also use soap to clean if they have more daily makeup, and under normal circumstances, they can use a softer facial cleanser or an amino acid facial cleanser. It is not recommended that you over-clean the skin or use too much makeup, which will destroy your normal skin barrier - sebum film, the sebaceous film is destroyed, the skin will become sensitive, and the ability to lock water will become weaker.
5. Beware of skin problems during the Spring Festival
Liu Hongxia: During the Spring Festival, the diet is relatively rich, we recommend that you eat as little fried and spicy food as possible to reduce skin irritation. The second is to eat less seafood, even if you eat, do not eat raw, it is best to fry or steam, which is both a protection for the skin and a protection for the gastrointestinal tract. Finally, during the holidays, try to work and rest regularly, don't stay up late, clean your skin on time every day, and choose skin care products that suit you. After the winter sun is reflected by the snow, the ultraviolet rays are stronger, and everyone must pay attention to antifreeze and sun protection when going out to play.
