Chin is dry, flaky and red

Some people have naturally sensitive facial skin, which can easily lead to various skin allergies due to food and cosmetics. This group of people need to be particularly careful when taking care of their skin and avoid allergens. Once allergies appear on the face, the skin will often lose a large amount of moisture. When the deep layers of the skin are dehydrated, the allergies will be aggravated, thus forming a vicious circle. If your chin becomes dry, flaky and red, you should consider whether it is caused by allergies.

1. Reasons

1. Weather

The weather is relatively dry in autumn and winter, with low air humidity and strong winds and sand. The moisture on the skin surface evaporates quickly, so the skin feels dry; dryness promotes the accelerated metabolism of keratin on the skin surface, which manifests as dry, peeling, and tight skin.

2. Poor spleen and stomach function

This type of condition is often manifested by dryness, peeling, and tightness of the skin around the mouth. The area will be itchy, but the itching is not obvious. In some serious cases, the lips may also be affected, resulting in cheilitis. Its treatment is mainly based on Chinese medicine conditioning, and lip balm can be applied appropriately. This type of condition is relatively stubborn and takes a long time to heal.

3. Damage caused by topical hormones

This type of condition often manifests as itchy, dry, sensitive, and easily peeling skin on the cheeks; its main characteristic is that the skin is sensitive and turns red when exposed to heat; this is caused by the previous use of hormone ointments such as dermatitis cream, or hormone-containing cosmetics; this type of condition mainly focuses on skin detoxification and repair.

4. Cosmetics or skin care products

It should be noted that most of the current cosmetics or skin care products contain harmful hormones, which are difficult to guard against! Therefore, try to use products for babies, which will have a higher safety factor.

5. Aging also takes away moisture

As we age, skin aging is also the culprit of dryness, so we should choose some antioxidant products, or products that promote collagen production to restore skin elasticity.

3. Conditioning Methods

1. Wash your face with rice water

Take the water used for washing rice for the second time and put it aside. After it has settled overnight, take the clear water on top and add about 1.5 times the amount of warm water as the rice washing water to mix it. Then use it for daily face cleansing. Use the rice washing water to cleanse your face every morning and evening. It can effectively cleanse the skin and moisturize it. It also has a certain oil control effect. After washing, your skin will be delicate and fair. Suitable for all skin types.

2. Cucumber juice facial mask

Wash the fresh cucumbers and put them into a juicer, squeeze them into cucumber puree, then apply it evenly on your face and cover it with a piece of gauze to prevent dripping. Wait for about 10 minutes and then wash it off. The skin feels refreshed after use, and the moisturizing and oil-control effects are very good, bringing the skin to a state of water-oil balance.

3. Oatmeal milk mask

Mix oatmeal and milk together into a paste, then apply it evenly on your face and wash it off after about 10-15 minutes. Oatmeal is rich in fiber, which can whiten the skin, and can effectively remove acne scars, dissolve blackheads, etc. Paired with milk, it moisturizes and whitens.
