In the cold winter weather, many people may develop chilblains. So how can we prevent chilblains in winter? In addition to being used for consumption, ginger can also be used to rub or apply on the face to prevent chilblains. The following article will introduce the correct method of using ginger to rub the face!
【How to Prevent Chilblains in Winter】
1. Wash your face with cold water
Before the weather gets cold, make sure to wash your face and hands with cold water. After washing, dry them and apply moisturizer, medicinal glycerin, or petroleum jelly. This can increase cold resistance and reduce the occurrence of chilblains.
2. Apply moisturizer to exposed areas
It is recommended to apply moisturizer four times a day to replenish lost moisture. Replace hand soap with oily soap or oil-based facial cleanser when washing hands. Choose hand creams that contain glycerin and minerals. For sensitive and dry skin, choose hand creams with soothing ingredients such as peppermint and chamomile, as well as moisturizing ingredients such as glycerin.
3. Rub ginger on the skin
Rub the skin prone to chilblains with fresh ginger slices for several days to prevent the recurrence of chilblains. If chilblains have already formed, heat fresh ginger juice and simmer it into a paste. After cooling, apply it to the affected area twice a day for three consecutive days to see results.
【Correct Method of Using Ginger to Rub the Face】
Before using ginger to rub or apply on the face, heat the ginger slices over a fire to make the surface warm. Then use them to rub or apply on the face for better beauty effects. However, be cautious not to overheat the ginger, as it may damage the skin.
1. Cut the ginger into slices.
2. Cover the problematic areas of the face with ginger slices.
3. Gently rub the facial skin with ginger slices.
4. Avoid applying too much pressure or rubbing too quickly to prevent skin damage.
5. After a few minutes of rubbing, stop when the skin feels warm.
【Precautions for Using Ginger Slices on the Face】
1. Although ginger has skincare and beauty effects, it should not be used too frequently. Using ginger to rub the face regularly may irritate the facial skin and even cause skin allergies. If you have chilblains, you can apply ginger more frequently, but once they have healed, it is best to only apply it once a day.
2. The skin on the face is delicate, while ginger is rough. When using ginger to rub the face, be mindful of the pressure applied. Applying too much pressure can easily damage the facial skin, negating the intended beauty effects and potentially causing skin damage.
3. Using ginger to rub the face may not be effective for everyone. If you are allergic to ginger or have pigmentation or acne marks on your skin, it is best to use other skincare products. Using ginger on the face may not only fail to improve the skin, but also cause skin allergies and other skin problems.
4. Ginger contains various active ingredients, including gingerols, which have strong antioxidant effects. It can accelerate deep skin repair and improve surface acne marks. However, using ginger slices to treat acne marks has a significant impact and is not suitable for everyone. Patients should use it based on their own specific conditions. If any allergic reactions occur, immediately discontinue use and choose other methods.
