Moisturizing is very important in daily life. If the moisturizing measures are not perfect, the skin will be in very bad condition. So how to moisturize the skin? How to moisturize dry skin?

After a night of rest, the amount of water in the body is at its lowest and needs to be replenished in time. Adults can also add a little salt to the water, with a slightly salty taste as the limit, which can strengthen the kidneys and teeth, clear the eyes, and increase gastrointestinal motility. There was a folk saying that "drinking a cup of light salt soup in the morning is better than going to the doctor for colon cleansing." But it should be noted that the amount of salt should not be too much, otherwise it will be counterproductive. The first cup of water you drink in the morning can be more. According to different weights of different people, the amount of water you drink should be between 300-500 ml to meet the needs of the body. Especially for those who go to work without eating breakfast in the morning, drinking a glass of water is particularly important.

Moisturizing for dry skin needs to be based on the cause of dry skin. If it is just a simple seasonal factor, or the dry skin is caused by excessive bathing in the elderly, it is sufficient to apply a moisturizing ointment topically, such as a 10% urea cream. If the degree of dryness is higher in some areas, you can also apply 20% urea cream or salicylic acid ointment. Of course, if the degree of dryness is not obvious in some areas, you can also apply vitamin E cream or polysulfonated mucopolysaccharide cream. If the dry skin is accompanied by obvious itching symptoms, it is also necessary to take appropriate oral antihistamines, such as appropriate oral levocetirizine hydrochloride, ebastine, etc.

The role of moisturizing is to prevent water from being lost too quickly and to keep the stratum corneum at a reasonable water content. Moisturizing is not just about applying moisturizer. The skin has a very perfect moisturizing system. Generally, the skin has the ability to moisturize itself, which is mainly achieved by the barrier function of the skin. When the environment is too dry or the skin barrier is damaged, the skin will lose water faster, and the moisture content of the stratum corneum will decrease, which will cause the skin to dry and desquamate. Therefore, the basic starting point of moisturizing is to maintain and protect the barrier function of the skin.

Skin hydration can increase the water content of the skin, making the skin look shiny and moist, making people look more vital, younger and more energetic. It can also delay the degree of human aging and avoid problems such as wrinkles, spots, fine lines, and dry lines on the skin.
