What causes dry and itchy skin on face?

The skin on the face often has symptoms of dryness and flaking. Many people often do not understand the specific causes. The following article introduces the causes of dry, flaking and itchy skin.

Weather reasons

The weather is relatively dry in autumn and winter, with low air humidity and strong winds and sand. The moisture on the skin surface evaporates quickly, so the skin feels dry. Dryness promotes the accelerated metabolism of keratin on the skin surface, which manifests as dry, peeling, and tight skin. In fact, this is more obvious on the calves, but it is more obvious on the face. Therefore, people will apply some moisturizer to children in winter to prevent chapped skin on their faces. This is not difficult to solve.

Poor spleen and stomach function

This type of condition is often manifested by dryness, peeling, and tightness of the skin around the mouth. The area will be itchy, but the itching is not obvious. In some serious cases, the lips will also be affected, resulting in cheilitis. Its treatment is mainly based on Chinese medicine conditioning, and lip balm can be applied appropriately. This type of condition is relatively stubborn and takes a long time to heal. According to experience, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine for at least half a month, or even longer.

Damage caused by topical hormones

This type of condition often manifests as itchy, dry, sensitive, and easily peeling skin on the cheeks; its main characteristic is that the skin is sensitive and turns red when exposed to heat; this is caused by the previous use of hormone ointments such as dermatitis creams, or hormone-containing cosmetics; this type of condition mainly focuses on skin detoxification and repair.
