冬季如何避免手部干裂

Keeping hands soft and supple in the wintertime can be a challenge. Winter is known to have dryer air than other seasons, and dry air tends to deplete our skin's moisture (via Penn Medicine). Unfortunately, outside air isn't the only moisture-robbing culprit, either. Hot air circulating from our heaters and furnaces can also lead to dry hands and skin, but those aren't the only challenges winter brings.

在冬季保持雙手柔軟是一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。眾所周知，冬天的空氣比其他季節(jié)干燥，干燥的空氣往往會(huì)消耗我們皮膚的水分。不幸的是，室外空氣也不是唯一的奪濕元兇。從我們的加熱器和爐子里循環(huán)出來(lái)的熱空氣也會(huì)導(dǎo)致手和皮膚干燥，但這些還不是冬天帶來(lái)的唯一挑戰(zhàn)。

As many of us attempt to avoid catching colds and the flu during winter months, hand soaps can strip natural moisture from the skin, leading to cracking and bleeding (via WebMD). Interestingly, doctors also suggest genetics are at play when it comes to hand and skin moisture. In fact, the strength of your skin barrier and its combination of proteins, lipids, and oils, have a lot to do with how dry your skin will get. Weaker skin barriers and those who typically have more sensitive skin and ailments like eczema are more prone to winter chapping and dryness.

冬季為了避免感冒和流感，洗手液會(huì)帶走皮膚的天然水分，導(dǎo)致皮膚皸裂和出血。有趣的是，醫(yī)生們還表示，基因在手部和皮膚水分方面也起了作用。事實(shí)上，皮膚屏障的強(qiáng)度及其蛋白質(zhì)、脂類(lèi)和油脂的組合，與皮膚的干燥程度有很大關(guān)系。皮膚屏障較弱的人，那些通常有更敏感的皮膚和濕疹等疾病的人，更容易在冬季皸裂和干燥。

Health experts say you'll want to start a moisturizing routine before your skin becomes dry and cracked (via WebMD). When thinking about creating a moisturizing routine, consider applying moisturizer to your hands at least daily and up to 6 times a day for around-the-clock moisture. Because it can be hard to remember to apply moisturizer, keeping lotion in several places — like at your desk or in the car — can be helpful.

健康專(zhuān)家說(shuō)，在你的皮膚變得干燥和皸裂之前，現(xiàn)在就應(yīng)該開(kāi)始例行保濕。你的保濕計(jì)劃中，想要獲得全天候的保濕，至少每天在手上涂抹保濕霜，最多6次。因?yàn)槟憧赡軙?huì)忘，所以把保濕霜多放在幾個(gè)地方——比如辦公桌或車(chē)?yán)?mdash;—會(huì)很有幫助。

Since hand-washing can cause dryness, keeping a bottle of moisturizer at your sink can help replace moisture after every time you wash them (via Prevention). When choosing your moisturizer, take a look at the label. Generally, you'll want the ingredients that prevent moisture loss, add moisture, and soothe skin. Be on the lookout for star moisturizing ingredients, such as petrolatum, hyaluronic acid, lanolin, cocoa and shea butter, glycerin, and aloe vera. These can help you prevent dry skin from becoming a winter-long problem.
