If you have white flakes on your legs, pay attention to these lifestyle habits!

Have you ever had the experience of taking off your black stockings and finding white flakes on them? In winter, not only the face but also the body is prone to dryness, especially the calves, which are one of the parts that are prone to dryness. People who have ever had white flakes on their black stockings should pay attention, as this is a warning sign of dry skin peeling.

■1: Bath water temperature is too high

In winter, you may want to take a warm bath, but water that is too hot can easily remove the sebum necessary for the skin and cause dryness. In addition, it will cause the loss of ingredients that keep the skin moisturized. The water temperature should be kept at around 38-40℃.

Water temperature that is too high will stimulate the sympathetic nerves and may make it difficult to fall asleep. In order to maintain the balance of the sympathetic nerves, it is best to take a bath in warm water.

■2: Scrub vigorously while bathing

I believe that many people use harder nylon towels to scrub their skin in order to clean away body dirt. However, if used every day, the necessary cuticles of the body will be washed away, and the function of protecting the skin will not function properly, leading to severe dryness.

After lathering the body wash, wash gently with your hands or use a soft sponge. The most important thing is to use a washing force that does not cause any burden to your body.

■3: Excessive weight loss

Excessive dietary restrictions can cause nutritional imbalance and lead to insufficient skin sebum. Excessive avoidance of oil intake can also cause dry skin or hair. When losing weight, it is most important to have a balanced diet and consume better oils.

The EPA contained in herrings such as saury can improve dry skin. In addition, the linoleic acid contained in avocado can produce ceratin which protects the skin's moisture. Just eating half an avocado a day can improve dryness from within the body.

■4: Leave your hands and feet cold

I believe that many women have the problem of cold hands and feet. If the feet are cold, it is evidence of poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can cause metabolic disorders on the surface of the skin, leading to dryness and other skin problems.

If your feet feel cold in the office, you can use a scarf to keep them warm. At home, you can wear warm socks and use lotion to massage your feet before sleeping.

The above are some bad habits that can easily lead to dry calves. Dry calves are also a sign of dry body. So if you feel dry, start improving your daily living habits!
