What to do if your face is dry and itchy in autumn

Autumn is a season that people both like and hate, because it is not as hot as summer or as cold as winter. However, autumn is dry and the humidity in the air is low. Various skin problems gradually appear, especially itchy, red and swollen skin, which make some people miserable. Many people don’t know what the solution is for dry and itchy face in autumn. Let’s take a look today and prepare for the coming autumn.

1. Pay attention to physical fitness and exercise appropriately

Perform full body self-massage before and after dressing and undressing in the morning and evening to promote skin microcirculation and reduce skin dryness.

2. Drink an appropriate amount of tea

There is also a simple and feasible method: drinking a moderate amount of tea every day can also help prevent skin itching, because tea is rich in the trace element manganese. Manganese is one of the many trace elements necessary for the human body. It has a significant protective effect on human skin and can enhance the body's ability to resist dermatitis.

3. Reduce bathing

In addition, it is recommended to reduce the number of bathing times appropriately, do not use too hot water when bathing, and keep the water temperature at around 45°C. Do not use detergents such as soaps that are too alkaline to reduce irritation to the skin.

4. Soak winter melon peel in water

Boil the dried wax gourd peel in water and use it for bathing. Then apply the peel to itchy areas to relieve the itching. Winter melon peel tastes sweet and is slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing stomach heat, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Winter melon peel can also prevent and treat fluid extravasation. For some patients who feel skin swelling and edema after itching, or patients whose skin swelling and fluid extravasation occur due to long-term intravenous infusion, wiping the infusion site with winter melon peel water and applying the peel to the infusion site twice a day can eliminate edema and prevent fluid extravasation.

5. Eat more beans and whole grains

Since B vitamins play a vital role in the body's metabolic function, a lack of B vitamins can cause metabolic disorders in the body, affect cell function, and easily cause skin problems such as dermatitis and acne. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in B vitamins, such as wheat bran, peas, brown rice, soybeans, as well as yeast, shiitake mushrooms, etc.
