Winter life taboo

1, avoid licking your lips often.

Some people think that chapped lips can be moistened with tongue licking, but the result is just the opposite. Saliva is secreted by salivary glands and contains amylase and other substances, which is relatively viscous. After licking your lips, it seems to be covered with a layer of paste. When the water evaporates, the lips will be drier. If your lips are dry and uncomfortable, apply lip balm without pigment and fragrance.

2. Avoid pure glycerin.

People usually use glycerol containing 20% water. If pure glycerin is used, its water absorption capacity is too strong, which will absorb the moisture in the skin, but it will make the skin drier.

3. Avoid wearing too many clothes

If you wear too much and too thick, the blood vessels in the skin will expand, and the blood flowing to the skin will increase, thus increasing heat dissipation. This reduces the body's ability to adapt to changes in external temperature.
