As the weather starts to turn cold, it’s important to start thinking about skin care. Dr. Sirirak Kanchanateeraphong, a pediatrician specializing in allergies and immunology at Children’s Health Center at Nawawet Hospital, recently explained the causes of dry, cracked, and flaky skin during cold weather and offered tips on how to care for your skin.
Dr. Sirirak divided skin care by skin type, stating that skin health care should be divided according to each individual’s skin type, including dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, and sensitive skin.
She then outlined the causes of dry, cracked, and flaky skin, both internal and external factors. Internal factors such as genetics, hormones, age, type of food, and weakened skin layers can contribute to skin issues. External factors, including cleansing the skin too often, using unsuitable products, changes in the weather, and use of medications, can also impact the skin.
In addition to dry skin, Dr. Sirirak also addressed the causes of chapped lips and dry mouth, which include factors such as licking the lips, dehydration, malnutrition, use of certain products, and chronic diseases.
To care for your skin, she recommended choosing skin cleansing products that are gentle, using skin care products suitable for your skin type, drinking enough water, eating nutritious foods, and using air purifiers to maintain humidity. Dr. Sirirak also highlighted the importance of avoiding hot showers, unnecessary exposure to sunlight, licking or biting lips, and using products containing irritants or perfumes.
While everyone should take care of their skin, special attention needs to be given to newborns, young children with sensitive skin, those with preexisting skin health problems, people at risk of constant exposure to sunlight or cold, dry weather, and those with congenital diseases, chronic diseases, and the elderly.
