When Yuan was in a clinic recently, he met many girls who felt that their skin was as dry as the Sahara Desert, and they couldn't wait to water it all the time...


At the end of the year, there are heavy tasks and many activities, and it is really too southern to go to work with a dry face.

 

People keep asking in the background of WeChat official account:

 

Moisturizing! Moisturizing! Moisturizing! What exactly can I do to moisturize properly?

 

Seeing this, do you want to say:


Humidifiers can help us moisturize! Because it can effectively improve the dry environment and keep the skin hydrated.


However, here comes the problem:


  • Humidifiers improve air humidity. Can air humidity directly improve skin moisture?

  • Does the increase of air humidity always have a positive effect on the skin?

  • Dry skin, is it simply due to lack of water?

  • What are the important factors for improving dry skin in winter?

 

 

 

The principle of humidifier generally relies on electric humidification or cold mist humidification.

 

By emitting water mist into the air to increase the humidity in the environment, you can indeed increase the scale value on the humidity meter more or less. But, can the skin's moisture also increase?

 

In fact, The moisture in the stratum corneum of the skin is generally relatively stable. That is to say, even if you spray the spray directly on your face, you may not be able to continuously increase the moisture content of the stratum corneum, let alone indirectly moisten your face with the moisture in the air...

 

So, let go of the obsession!

 

In addition, what Yuan wants to remind here is that humidifiers will not only increase the air humidity, but also affect the degree of air pollution and polluting bacteria in the water. Studies have shown that:

 

After the ultrasonic humidifier is atomized for 30 minutes, the air humidity does increase, but the number of bacteria in the air also increases greatly, and the air pollution is aggravated, which may cause harm to people.


So, if you have adapted to the company of a humidifier, then please remember what Yuan said- Humidifiers need to be cleaned regularly and used moderately, so as to ensure your healthy life.


 

 

 

What a coincidence!


Dermatologists are equally concerned about this issue.

 

Because, Many dry skin is also one of the manifestations of skin inflammation 。 And the more stubborn the skin is dry, the more attention it should be paid to... In daily diagnosis and treatment, dermatologists need to rule out whether you have contact dermatitis, seasonal dermatitis, or photosensitive dermatitis.

 

If you are one of the problems mentioned above, then moisturizer alone can't improve your situation. You need the help of drugs or functional skin care products!

 

As for the specific diagnosis and treatment... After all, everyone's situation is different, so I won't generalize here. I recommend everyone to see a dermatologist and let a professional help you.

 

 

 

Seeing this, I know that some friends want to ask questions again:


I'm not one of the people with skin problems you mentioned. My dry skin is transient. Do you have any tips?


Such friends listen carefully. Here are four elements to improve dry skin in winter:


  • Sleep soundly: It's the end of the year, no matter how busy you are at work, pay attention to the combination of work and rest! Night is a critical moment for skin repair. If you don't sleep well, your skin will miss 100 million...

  • Eat in moderation: There are many parties and entertainment at the end of the year, but alcohol, sweets and spicy food will lower the score of your skin... So, take it easy after eating and drinking. After all, beauty is also very important ~

  • Wash gently: Don't wash your face with hot water, and don't ask for a particularly clean wash. Leave some protective layer for your skin;

  • Paint hard: The main thing to apply is moisturizer. It is preferable to contain moisturizing ingredients that are particularly moisturizing.
