Add the day is cold the vasoconstriction of body surface, cutaneous blood circulation becomes poor, bring about the skin dry, desquamate, pruritic, aglow, also can oversensitive to external stimulation, it is typical "dry sex dermatitis".

Dry dermatitis is easy to occur before and after menopause and the elderly population. Shuanghe hospital dermatology department resident doctor Chen yucong has written that sebaceous glands can secrete sebum, moisturizing skin and hair, prevent water loss; But as age grows, sebum accompanies sebaceous gland degenerate and reduce secrete, make moisture runs off easily, bring about the skin dry, coarse, desquamate, itch to wait, because this calls again "lack fat sex dermatitis".

But it's not just the weather or age that matters. Living and eating habits can also aggravate the symptoms of dry dermatitis.

The day and night rest upside down

Huang guiyou points out, traditional Chinese medicine often says "day nourishes Yang, night nourishes Yin", stay up late for a long time cannot raise Yin blood to cause blood deficiency easily, if like to eat hot and dry stimulation, acrid, fry the food that bake, can aggravate blood deficiency more, the skin becomes drier.

Often eat warm and dry food
