Unexplained itching in the body

Generally speaking, if your body itches for no reason, it is related to seasonal changes or air quality. Even when your skin becomes very dry, it can cause itching symptoms. Therefore, you need to replenish your skin with more moisture, which will alleviate the itching symptoms. Also, be careful not to take a bath for too long in winter.

1. In winter, bathing should generally not exceed 15 minutes.

2. After washing things or washing your hands, you should use some hand cream that can retain moisture.

3. When men shave in winter, it is best not to use shaving cream, but shampoo instead.

4. When you are at home, your skin is exposed to the air more than outdoors. Using a humidifier is a good way to solve dry skin.

5. If you must take a hot bath, use bath gel or mild soap if possible. After bathing, you should apply moisturizer to all parts of the body before the skin is completely dry. Doing this will help the moisturizer penetrate into the upper layers of the skin.

6. In winter, although people like to take a hot bath. However, the water temperature that is beneficial to the skin is warm water, because hot water will completely wash away the natural oils on the skin, and this natural oil is much more effective in eliminating dryness than the skin care products you use after bathing.

7. On those parts of the body that are prone to dryness and cracking, it is best to use stronger skin care products, such as Vaseline. Unlike ordinary skin care products, Vaseline can "seal" the skin and reduce moisture evaporation, which is very effective in protecting drier skin.

Winter prevention

Prevention of skin itching in winter is the key, that is, effective measures should be taken in time when symptoms appear to avoid the occurrence of skin problems. Following the following skin care principles can effectively reduce itching to the lowest level.

Scientific bathing: Due to physiological degeneration, the skin of middle-aged and elderly people lacks sufficient sebum protection on the skin surface, and the skin is dry and dehydrated. Bathing too frequently will take away the already small amount of sebum protection layer, making the skin even drier. If the bath water is too hot, alkaline soap is used, or the body is scrubbed hard, it will undoubtedly aggravate the dryness and itching of the skin.

Therefore, the elderly should reduce the number of baths they take in winter, once a week is enough. The water temperature should not be too high, and the bathing time should not be too long. Try to use less bath gel and soap when taking a bath. Do not leave soap on your body for too long and rinse it off promptly. After taking a bath, you can apply some cream that can prevent water evaporation to lock in skin moisture.
