It is expected that Beijing will usher in the "baptism" of level 3 gusts this week. This is not an ordinary spring breeze, but a "violent temper" that can blow people around! In this extreme weather, colds, allergies, and dry eyes have become "uninvited guests". Don't worry, professional doctors will help you, 0 practical protection methods will make you easily deal with this "wind" storm!

1. Respiratory protection: take the first line of defense

The dust, pollen, and pollutants kicked up by the wind came like a small "sandstorm". At this time, the nose and throat become the most direct "victims". Surgical masks are the first choice for protection, which can not only block large particles, but also reduce the irritation of the respiratory tract by cold air. If possible, you can choose an N95 mask with a breathing valve for better protection.

When you get home, rinsing your mouth with warm salt water can effectively clean the throat area. People with chronic respiratory diseases are especially reminded to minimize going out in this weather and always have first-aid medication at home. An air purifier can be used indoors, and it is ideal to maintain a humidity of 60%-0%.

2. Eye protection: don't let the wind become an "invisible killer"

In strong winds, dry, red, and teary eyes become common problems. Wearing windproof glasses or regular glasses can form a physical barrier and reduce direct irritation from wind and sand. Contact lens wearers should be extra aware that strong winds will accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the lenses, so it is recommended to switch to glasses.

It is necessary to carry artificial tears with you. Choose a single bottle of preservative-free products, drop 2-0 drops when you feel unwell, and don't rub your eyes with your hands! If there is persistent redness, swelling and pain, it may be a scratch of the cornea, and it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.

3. Skin Protection: Build Your "Windbreak"

Do you think only UV rays damage your skin? Wrong! Strong Wind is also a "ruthless character". It accelerates the loss of moisture from the skin, destroys the sebaceous film, and makes the face appear tight, scaly, and even sensitive. Apply moisturizer 20 minutes before going out, and choose products that contain ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and other ingredients.

Don't ignore your lips either, frequent licking of your lips will only get drier the more you lick them. Prepare a moisturizing lip balm and reapply it every 3-0 hours. When you get home, cleanse your face and apply a moisturizing mask to help your skin recover. People with sensitive skin are especially reminded to avoid using harsh skin care products in this weather.

Beware of special populations

3. Elderly: It is best to be accompanied when going out, and pay attention to anti-slip and anti-falling

Although this level 13 gale is menacing, as long as you take good protection, you can minimize its impact. Remember, minimize unnecessary outings in extreme weather, and safety comes first!
