As the autumn season approaches, the weather becomes increasingly dry, and many people start experiencing issues with static electricity in their daily lives. For example, their hair becomes "frizzy" when combing, they experience sudden crackling sounds when touching car doors or doorknobs, or they feel a sharp pain like being pricked by a needle when shaking hands with friends. While skin coming into contact with objects and generating static electricity is not a medical condition, it can still be a minor inconvenience in daily life. So, how can it be dealt with?

1. Wear The Right Clothes

During the winter, clothes tend to cling to the body and easily attract dust, bacteria, and harmful substances in the air. You can try to wear more clothing made of 100% cotton or pure wool. Pure cotton fibers are more stable compared to synthetic fibers, reducing the likelihood of static electricity when in contact with the skin. Additionally, adding fabric softener during laundry can help reduce friction.

2. Indoor Humidification

According to a study published in "GlobalSpec", increasing the relative humidity of the air can enhance its conductivity, facilitating the dissipation of static electricity from objects through the air. Static electricity often occurs in environments with humidity below 65%. Therefore, you can reduce the use of heating or place green plants indoors to naturally increase humidity. Alternatively, using a humidifier like the OSIM uMist Dream Humidifier can help regulate indoor humidity. It utilizes ultrasonic technology to break down water into fine mist particles, rapidly increasing the relative humidity indoors and maintaining it above 65%.

3. Special Hair Care

If you want to prevent your hair from having static electricity and looking particularly frizzy, you can apply hair care products such as hair oil or hair mist to increase oiliness and lubrication, thus reducing static electricity. Meanwhile, avoid using tap water to dampen your hair because as the water evaporates naturally, your hair will become even drier. If your hair tends to get tangled easily, you can try using the OSIM uGlow Brush. Start combing from the ends of your hair and slowly work your way towards the roots. This comb releases negative ions to eliminate hair static and effectively reduces excessive friction, helping to smooth out frizz and enhance hair shine.

4. Regularly Moisturise Your Skin

People with dry skin find it more difficult to dissipate charges and are more prone to accumulating static electricity and getting shocked. Therefore, in addition to replenishing an adequate amount of water throughout the day, it is recommended to consume at least 2000 ml of water to hydrate the skin and prevent static buildup. Applying moisturizers and hand creams daily can also enhance hydration. Prior to skincare, you can thoroughly cleanse the epidermis of the skin from dirt and dust using the OSIM uGlow Cleanse. For unclogging pores, you can utilize the gentle vacuum suction of the OSIM uGlow PoreCare. Following that, the OSIM uGlow IonCare can provide deep cleansing and moisturization to ensure thorough hydration of the skin's underlying layers.

If you have already tried the above four tips but still experience frequent static electricity, it may indicate an excessive accumulation of charges in your body. Dr. Kang Hung Ming from Taiwan also pointed out that individuals with poor cardiovascular circulation are more prone to experiencing static electricity. Additionally, static electricity in the body can cause a loss of approximately 20% of calcium and vitamin C, leading to weakened immunity and increased fatigue. To discharge the charges, you can transfer them to a stationary medium such as walls or the ground. Therefore, walking barefoot indoors or touching the wall with your hand before coming into contact with objects, or lightly tapping a doorknob with a key, are effective methods to release static electricity. Additionally, supplementing with vitamin C and iron can enhance the transportation of oxygen in the blood, while developing a regular exercise routine can provide a long-term solution to static electricity issues.
