What are the causes of deficiency of both qi and blood in women in winter?
1. People who are most afraid of dryness
① People with poor immunity, such as the elderly, children and women, have low air humidity in winter and the influenza virus spreads very fast. When the air is dry and stuffy, the probability of influenza transmission is greatly increased. In addition, dry air dehydrates the nasal cavity and bronchial mucosa, which reduces the ability to prevent viruses. People with poor autoimmune, especially the elderly and children, are more likely to be recruited.
② People with sensitive skin or skin diseases.
Our skin likes a mild and humid environment. Drying in winter will dehydrate epidermal cells, reduce sebum secretion, obviously reduce the moisturizing function of skin, and lead to rough, wrinkled and cracked skin.
Some patients with skin diseases, such as psoriasis, have poor skin barrier function, and dryness and lack of water will aggravate their condition. Dry indoor air will not only make people feel uncomfortable, but also affect their health, so how to keep themselves moist?
2. Drink plenty of water and make yourself a "water man"
70% of the human body is made up of water, which is the foundation of life. So the simplest and most practical way to deal with dryness is to drink water. Drink enough water several times a day to become a "water man" and keep your skin and mouth moist.
Do a good job of moisturizing
After becoming a "water man", you need to reduce the loss of water in your body, so the second measure to deal with dryness: moisturizing.
①? Choose the right moisturizing products.
In winter, you can choose a cream with more oil components as a moisturizing agent, which not only plays the role of lubrication and moisturizing, but also has better moisturizing power. ? Therefore, it is recommended to apply moisturizing cream as soon as possible after bathing, washing or washing hands.
How to choose moisturizing cream? Moisturizing cream containing olive oil, shea butter or jojoba oil works well. Other ingredients that can relieve dry skin include lactic acid, urea, hyaluronic acid, dimethyl silicone oil, glycerol, sheep oil, mineral oil and vaseline. Some people may have a stuffy nose. If they feel that the nasal cavity is dry, they can consult a doctor first and then use some drugs to moisten the nasal cavity. If the nostrils are dry, apply some vaseline with a cotton swab.
② Get rid of the bad habit of "losing water"
Don't lick your lips. Licking your lips is a very bad habit, and it will get drier and drier. Because after licking your lips, the saliva left on your lips will take away the moisture from your lips when it evaporates. If you want to make your lips comfortable, why not put on lip balm? Don't bathe and wash your face with overheated water. Bathing and washing your face with overheated water can easily remove sebum secreted by the skin itself. When this protection is completely destroyed, the water lost through the skin will increase and the skin will be dry. Everyone should take a bath and wash their faces with warm water, and the bath time should be controlled at 10 minutes. Use some mild cleaning products. If the cleaning products used contain sodium fatty acid, potassium fatty acid, ethanolamine fatty acid, etc. , and then temporarily stop using them. This kind of products have strong cleaning power, which can destroy the lipid components on the surface and reduce the water retention capacity of the skin.
It can be seen that dry air in winter is one of the main reasons for women's problems.
