Dry and flaky skin on arms

It is well known that if a person's skin lacks moisture, that is, the skin is dry, then it will be very flaky and peeling, which will greatly affect the appearance. This is also the root cause of wrinkles and accelerated aging. In real life, many people only pay attention to the care of facial skin, but neglect the care of arms and other parts. In the hot summer, many people like to wear short sleeves, so what should we do if the skin on the arms is dry and dandruff?

Dry skin refers to the uncomfortable lack of moisture in the skin.

The main symptoms are tight skin, dry and peeling skin in some parts, and itching all over the body after bathing. Aging, climate change, lack of sleep, excessive fatigue, overheated bath water, and highly alkaline detergents are all important causes of dry skin.

Preventive measures include strengthening daily skin care, rationally adjusting diet structure, and insisting on drinking plenty of water.

Causes of Dry Skin One of the causes of dry skin is aging. As estrogen levels in the body decrease, sebum secretion decreases and the skin's ability to retain moisture decreases, causing the skin to become drier and drier. This is also the reason why the elderly go to the dermatology department of the hospital for treatment in autumn and winter.

Secondly, the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin contains a "natural moisturizing factor", the amount of which determines the water content of the skin. It is common among modern women to overuse skin care products, which can reduce the skin's ability to secrete oil and lead to dryness and dehydration. Climate change

Changes in the external climate will cause abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, making the skin surface rougher and the resistance weakened. Over time, you may become habitually dry. Lack of sleep, fatigue, excessive weight loss and picky eating

Lack of sleep, fatigue, excessive weight loss and picky eating can cause considerable harm to the body and worsen blood circulation. When health is out of balance, the skin loses its vitality and becomes prone to dryness and roughness.

Bathing in overly hot water or using harsh soaps or detergents. In addition, taking a bath with too hot water, using irritating soaps or detergents, or changes in female endocrine system, such as decreased estrogen secretion in women after menopause, can also cause dry skin. However, these are short-term phenomena and can be improved immediately. Clear skin is the result of washing

After completely cleansing, oily skin can return to its normal sebum state within 40 minutes and dry skin within 1 hour, and the skin will appear moisturized and not tight. Therefore, the skin will not be dried by "washing", it will only become dry when it is dirty.

Bathing method for facial cleansing

Rub the soap or cleanser on the bubble ball repeatedly to create rich foam, the finer the better. Then use your fingertips to gently rub the foam on your face and body from bottom to top. The fine foam can make the dirt float up and wrap up the tiny dirt to completely remove it. It is absolutely not advisable to scrub vigorously with a towel. Vigorous scrubbing will not only fail to remove the dirt in the pores and other folds, but will also damage the stratum corneum of normal skin, because the thickness of the gelatinous layer on the surface of the skin is only 0.01-0.02 mm, which is very easy to be damaged. The barrier function of the damaged colloid layer is weakened, which will cause the loss of epidermal water. Therefore, be as gentle as possible to your skin.

In addition, all clothes and bedding should be softened with softener, because static electricity is a major culprit that attracts dust and clogs pores.

Super Clean

We often hear the sayings of "hot spring beauties" and "skin-beautifying hot springs". Bathing is not unrelated to beauty. Showering is mist water, which not only moisturizes the skin, but also produces a large number of negative ions that spread in the surrounding environment. The effect of negative ions on the skin lies in its effect on active oxygen. Active oxygen is a substance that causes skin aging. It destroys the skin's keratin and sebaceous glands. Negative ions can give electrons to active oxygen, making it lose its vitality and thus achieving an anti-aging effect. Bathing is an excellent means of skin care. The water pressure and warm effect of bathing can accelerate the return of blood and lymph in the skin of the whole body, and the pores are completely opened, which is conducive to the removal of dirt attached to the hair follicles, and is also conducive to a lot of sweating. While sweating, it takes away waste from the body and delays skin aging. Therefore, showering and bathing are the best "care" for the skin. The whole body skin is smooth and SPA cares for you. Whole body skin care is more important and more difficult than facial care. You should exfoliate regularly and moisturize your skin every day, especially your arms, legs and buttocks. Doing SPA is undoubtedly the most pleasant choice!
