The annual Loong Boat Festival is full of fireworks. Wrap a pot of soft glutinous Zongzi, tie a beautiful colorful rope on your wrist, go out to watch a lively Loong Boat race... These sense of ritual put together the healing time of the Dragon Boat Festival. But many people will encounter the same small annoyance after the holiday: sudden redness, itching, and small bumps on the skin, inexplicably becoming sensitive and fragile. Why does the skin get angry before and after the Dragon Boat Festival, even though I haven't stayed up late or changed my skincare products randomly? Actually, it's not that it's sentimental, it's likely closely related to our holiday habits.

The hand of wrapping Zongzi, remember the "protection" of the compartment

       The zongzi leaves were folded into funnels in the palm of my hand, stuffed with filling and wrapped with thread, and my hands were busy with it. After washing away the stickiness, a faint red rash appeared on the back of the hand, which was slightly itchy and rough. This is the secret "spoilage" of zongzi leaves. The surface of fresh bamboo and reed leaves contains natural plant sap and fine plant fibers. After washing, touching, and rubbing zongzi leaves with bare hands for a long time, these fine substances will continue to irritate the skin of the hands.

       Small suggestion: Wear a pair of food grade gloves when making Zongzi. A thin layer that does not affect the feel, but can separate the invisible friction. Wash hands promptly after packaging, dry and apply moisturizing products to repair the skin on the hands.

The colorful rope looks good, and the wrist also needs to be breathable

       The colorful rope is red, yellow, blue, white, and black, wrapped around the wrist, symbolizing exorcism and blessings. Children are reluctant to take it off when they wear it, and adults also seek good luck. After two or three days, the wrist turns red and itchy, and the more you scratch, the more uncomfortable it becomes. It's not that the colorful rope is unlucky, but rather that the rope is stuck to the skin, and sweat is trapped in the gaps that cannot be drained. Sweat contains salt and metabolites, and prolonged soaking can block the skin's "breathing"; Adding dye or fibers to the rope itself can easily cause reactions in sensitive skin.

       Small suggestion: Wear it when going out, take it off when going home, and let it breathe well when sleeping at night. When taking a bath, take it off, dry your wrists, and apply a little moisturizing lotion. Fortune will not run away just because it is taken off for a while. It is comfortable and carries a more solid meaning.

You have enjoyed the Loong Boat race. Don't be stuffy

       The Loong Boat Race is the climax of the Dragon Boat Festival. People are surging along the river. The sun shines brightly and shouts come and go. Sweat trickled down my back, and when I touched it at home, small bumps appeared that were both itchy and prickly. This is the signature left by "stuffiness" on the skin, where high temperatures cause pores to sweat heavily, and the moisture and salt in the sweat are trapped on the surface of the skin by close fitting clothes and backpack straps. Over time, the protective layer of the skin becomes like a soft city wall soaked in water, breaking through with even a slight friction.

       Small suggestion: Wear loose and breathable cotton and linen clothing on the day of the competition. Keep a small towel in your bag and apply it to your back promptly after sweating. Press and dry it. Take a warm shower at home, gently dry off, and apply refreshing body lotion. Compared to the itchiness that makes it difficult to sleep, these few steps can be called 'timely rain'.

       We are enthusiastic about the various ceremonies of the Dragon Boat Festival to catch the tenderness and expectations of life; And the stability and comfort of the skin is the true foothold of this sense of happiness. Tradition does not need to be abandoned, and discomfort does not require hard handling. By taking extra care of details, one can experience every traditional pleasure with peace of mind. Finally, Laiwo Medical wishes everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival and all the best.
