How should I care for my skin as it gets dry in the fall...^^

Hello everyone. The autumn breeze is gently blowing. I hope you are all doing well and having a good time.

As the weather has been getting chilly lately, it seems like a lot of people are noticing changes in their skin~~~!!!

Lately, I've also noticed the area below my knees, my calves, feeling itchy and my skin has gotten noticeably drier. ^^

I often get surprised when white dead skin cells fly off even if I just lightly scratch my calves~~~^^

I was so curious why on earth my calves get so itchy and white powder flies around only when autumn comes~~~!!!

So, I thoroughly researched the causes of itchy calves in the autumn and ways to keep your skin moisturized. ^^

First of all, in the autumn The biggest cause of itchy calves and white powder flying around is the drop in temperature and humidity during the change of seasons. It is~~~^^

When the weather gets cold and dry, the skin's moisture retention drops sharply, causing the skin barrier to break down easily~~~!!!

The calves, especially below the knees, have fewer sebaceous glands compared to other areas, so they are naturally deficient in oil and moisture. ^^

If you take a long shower with warm water or use a strong body wash, your skin's protective barrier will be washed away.

Eventually, as dryness reaches its peak, white flakes of dead skin appear and itching develops~~~!!!

 

So, what should you do to moisturize these dry and itchy calves? ^^

First th First, when showering, use lukewarm water rather than too hot. It is really important that you accommodate me~~~^^

Since hot water strips moisture from the skin, it is best to take a quick shower with lukewarm water within 10 minutes!!!

I also recommend using a moisturizing, mildly acidic body cleanser rather than a product with very strong cleansing power. ^^

The second and most important key point is to apply a generous amount of moisturizer immediately after showering, before the moisture evaporates. You apply it~~~^^

You must apply a generous amount of moisturizing cream or body oil to your calves within 3 minutes before they completely dry!!!

In particular, applying a highly moisturizing cream containing ceramide or urea is very helpful for protecting the skin barrier. ^^

If you forcibly scrub with an exfoliating towel or scrub excessively because you dislike the sight of white flakes of dead skin, your skin will become even more irritated.

Rather than forcibly removing dead skin cells It is much better to apply moisturizer in layers to naturally soothe the skin. ~~~!!!

finally Efforts to protect skin moisture in everyday habits I need this~~~ ^^

Please turn on a humidifier indoors to maintain proper humidity, and drinking water frequently throughout the day is also very helpful.

It is also recommended to wear pure cotton clothes that touch your calves directly rather than scratchy materials to reduce irritation!!!
