① Slight shedding
Because "chicken skin" is related to keratin thickening, it is necessary to gently exfoliate, but it must not be excessive.
There are many ways to exfoliate. When we take a bath, we can achieve the purpose of exfoliation by wiping our bodies with shower gel, bath sponge and bath ball containing frosted particles. However, washing like this every day will make the already dry "chicken skin" unbearable, become thinner and drier, which in turn will stimulate the "chicken skin" to become more severe. Our skin's keratin renewal cycle is 28-45 days, so 1- 1 half a month is enough for such a fierce exfoliation.
The milder way to exfoliate is to use bath salt (salt also exfoliates, but the sodium in it will make the skin dry, and it is better for people with "chicken skin" to use dead sea bath salt with moisturizing effect).
You can take a bath with bath salt, or you can dissolve bath salt in hot water first, and then mix it with plant bath milk (bath milk with many chemicals will react with bath salt) and use it in the shower. When bathing with bath salt, you can also add rose and sandalwood essential oils to exfoliate and moisturize the skin.
Many people think that bathing every day is a good habit, but it is not good for "chicken skin". Bath cream can also remove old waste keratin to a certain extent, and may also wash off too much oil. Therefore, it is enough for people with "chicken skin" to take a bath once every two or three days in winter, or to take a bath only with clear water every day without shower gel.
② Moisturizing is the most important thing.
More important than exfoliation is to moisturize the skin. "Chicken skin" is skin that lacks water and oil, so it is not enough to moisturize with general body lotion. Instead, you should use body lotions specially prepared for extremely dry skin sold in pharmacies, such as Yiquan Extremely Moisturizing Body Lotion, la roche-posay Yingrun Body Lotion, and Vichy Nutritional Body Lotion. When taking a bath, you should also use moisturizing and cleaning products, such as la roche-posay nourishing soap and Yang Ya soap-free moisturizing and activating skin soap.
It is also very important that the water temperature of the bath must be kept at around 40℃. In winter, many people like to use hot water, which makes them feel comfortable. However, hot water is easy to "deoil" and will also wash away too much oil from the skin; When the body leaves hot water, the water on the skin surface will evaporate immediately, and it will also take away the water from the skin. This is "worse" for "chicken skin". If you are "rich and idle", it is also a good way to improve your "goose skin" to go to the SPA to enjoy the moisturizing care of your body.
Haste makes waste.
"Goose skin" will make people want to "get rid of it quickly", but squeezing, scratching and digging by hand will make the tissues around the pores edema, make the pore openings smaller, make it easier to block, and cause acne and folliculitis; If scratched, it will cause inflammation and pigmentation. So don't scratch or scratch.
If you need to show beautiful skin on important occasions, you can ask a dermatologist for help. Applying tretinoin or changing skin with fruit acid under the guidance of a professional doctor will make the skin crystal clear in a few days. However, this is only an "emergency method", which treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. If treated in this way frequently, the barrier function of the skin will weaken, making the skin drier and more sensitive. To improve "chicken skin" and "persistence", whether in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you should nourish your skin with protective milk after bathing, and your skin will become more beautiful and will not become a "lazy woman"
