How is blushing burned in winter? What about blushing and burning in winter?
What if the face is red and hot in winter?
This has something to do with the weather, the surrounding environment and your physical condition.
1, temperature difference stimulus
In winter, especially in dry and windy low-temperature weather, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is relatively large, this face is prone to redness and burning. When we walked from a warm indoor to a cold outdoor, our faces were suddenly stimulated by the cold. In order to protect itself, the body strengthens the blood supply to the face and contracts capillaries to resist the cold outside. Due to the contraction of capillaries and sufficient blood supply to the face, the face will appear red. The skin in winter is more sensitive, plus the stimulation of cold air, dryness, high temperature, sandstorm climate and sun exposure. It will cause skin hypoxia, increase the number of red blood cells on the face, and inevitably lead to red blood, which is easy to cause dryness, redness, peeling and erythema.
2. Skin problems
In winter, due to climatic factors, the skin is easy to become dry, and this may also happen at this time. When the weather is cold in winter, the body will provide more blood for the face to protect itself, which will lead to facial redness. The lighter one is just a red face. If it is more serious, the face will be red, swollen and cracked. In this case, it is recommended to go to the hospital for timely treatment. People with thin skin are more likely to have this situation in winter. People with thin skin tend to become red and hot when the seasons change, especially in spring and winter. The other is sensitive skin, which is sensitive to external stimuli, causing blood vessels to relax if they are not slightly tight, showing repeated congestion, leading to circuitous expansion of blood vessels and forming red, swollen and bloodshot eyes on the face.
3. Other reasons
Not limited to seasonal factors, these conditions can also lead to redness and burning of the face.
(1) Psychological tension and excitement. Many times we will encounter nervous and excited times. At this time, we will unconsciously feel that our faces are red and hot. This is because when we are nervous and excited, our heart beats faster and our blood runs faster. However, because our face has no venous valve (a valve to prevent blood from flowing back), the blood vessels are slack and most sensitive to the reaction, so our face will be red.
(2) Physical pathological manifestations. In medical diagnosis, there is a saying of "plateau red" (redness of cheekbones), which is mostly caused by poor heart function or poor respiratory and circulatory function. Chinese medicine believes that the function of heart, liver and lungs is not good, the heart can't deliver blood to the body in time, and the liver and lungs can't metabolize blood in time, which leads to redness and fever on the face.
(3) Long-term topical use of corticosteroids causes telangiectasia, resulting in thinning and atrophy of skin.
(4) The blood circulation is blocked, and the blood vessel wall is congested, resulting in red blood on the face.
(5) Misuse of skin care products containing hormones or drugs, exfoliation therapy such as photon rejuvenation and fruit acid rejuvenation make the cuticle of the skin thin and transparent, which is easy to form facial redness and swelling.
What should I do if I blush and get hot in winter?
1, keep warm.
Whether it is because of the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor or the problem of dry skin, keeping warm is the most critical step. Don't let your face catch cold, wind and sun, especially if your skin is thin. Wear a mask in winter. If you feel dry on your face, replenish water in time and wash your face with warm water. People with a history of facial frostbite should always wipe their faces in winter to promote blood circulation. In addition, people who often take part in physical exercise have much higher resistance than those who don't. The disease resistance is also much stronger. Therefore, we should take an active part in physical exercise to improve our resistance.
Step 2 pay attention to skin care
Besides keeping warm in winter, skin care is also very important. Because the weather is cold and the skin is dry, it is more likely to be red and hot. The phenomenon of frequent blushing on the face is mainly because the cuticle on the face is weak, so it is necessary to strengthen the cuticle of the skin, so that the phenomenon of frequent blushing on the face can no longer appear. By taking some grape seeds to strengthen the cuticle of the skin, remove free radicals in the body, improve the tolerance of the skin in an all-round way, form a protective film for the skin, and repair the red blood on the face.
Step 3 pay attention to your diet
People who blush easily should eat less foods that will increase blood vessel dilation, such as coffee, tea, cola and other caffeinated foods. Supplementing some vitamin B can also help nerve repair and soothe the nerves. In addition, avoid sun exposure, alcohol, spicy food, and be less angry, nervous or overly excited, because these will all contribute to the redness of the face.
4. Clean the skin at the right time.
The outdoor temperature is low in winter, so don't do any cleaning work including bathing immediately after you go home. Because it takes some time for the skin to warm up, touching hot water before warming up will suddenly irritate the skin and even make it red, thus causing or even aggravating the problem of red blood. Moreover, according to the biological clock properties of the skin, the skin condition is very unstable at 8-9 pm, so it is best to wash your face, take a bath or other maintenance work before or after 8 pm.
Step 5 choose the right detergent
Washing your face with inappropriate facial cleanser is also easy to make your cheeks red and produce red blood. It is recommended to choose a mild facial cleanser, which does not contain soap-based and irritating ingredients. Generally speaking, wash your face at least twice a day, but in winter or when your skin is not very oily, you can wash your face without facial cleanser in the morning.
Don't just use glycerin for skin care in winter.
The skin is getting drier. Pure glycerin cannot be directly applied to the skin. Before using glycerol, you should know whether it is aqueous glycerol or pure glycerol. If it is pure glycerin, add 20% water before use, otherwise it will make the skin drier and cause burns. It is recommended not to use glycerin for skin care in winter. You can apply emulsion to the skin surface first, and then apply glycerin after a few minutes, which has better skin care and moisturizing effect.
In short: Glycerol must be diluted before it is directly applied to the skin, otherwise the strong water absorption of high concentration glycerol will irritate the skin, especially the facial skin, causing burning sensation and pain to the skin, which is not conducive to relieving dry skin in winter.
Is vaseline the same as glycerin?
Vaseline and glycerol are two different substances. What's the difference between glycerin and vaseline?
1. Glycerol Description: Glycerol, also known as glycerol, is a colorless, odorless and sweet viscous liquid. The chemical structure of glycerol is completely different from that of carbohydrates, so it does not belong to the same class of substances. The complete oxidation of glycerol per gram can produce 4 kilocalories, which will not change the blood sugar and insulin levels after being absorbed by the human body. Glycerol is a commonly used sweetener and humectant in food processing industry, which is mostly found in sports food and milk substitutes. In winter, people often apply glycerin to the skin surface exposed to air, such as hands and face, which can keep the skin soft and elastic and prevent it from drying due to dust and climate damage, thus playing a role in preventing skin frostbite. Glycerol can increase the water content of human tissues, so it can increase the exercise ability of human body in high heat environment.
2. Description of Vaseline: Vaseline is almost tasteless, translucent and solid, with nothing but chemically inert hydrocarbons. It is not hydrophilic, and it can keep the skin moist when applied to the skin, so as to keep the skin tissue at the wound in the best condition and accelerate the self-repair ability of the skin. In addition, vaseline has no bactericidal ability, it only blocks the contact between bacteria from the air and the skin, thus reducing the possibility of infection. Compared with other more expensive skin care products on the market, vaseline has no irritation to any type of skin because of its chemical inertia, so vaseline belongs to a broad-spectrum skin care product and can be used by anyone. Because of this, cheap vaseline is still the most used and cost-effective skin care product in the world.
