DEHYDRATION vs DRYNESS
The simple definition is that dehydration is defined as a lack of water in the skin, while dryness is a lack of oil in the skin.
DEHYDRATION
Dehydration is a skin condition and not your skin type. The good news is that you can easily improve it with a good skincare routine, which must include regular exfoliation.
Every day hundreds of thousands of skin cells die. But not all these dead cells are shed and instead they form a layer on the surface of your skin. This layer blocks the penetration and efficacy of the products you use and can lead to signs of dehydration: a dull complexion; flaky skin; increased lines around your eyes and nose.
Removing this dead layer of skin, with regular exfoliation and applying deeply hydrating products will ease the symptoms of dehydration. You will soon notice a healthier dewier glow.
DRYNESS
Dryness is a genetic skin type whereby your skin is lacking in ceramides (oils). People with dry skin also tend to have dryness in other parts of their body, such as the eyes, lips and hands. They are also more prone to skin conditions such as flaky scalp and eczema.
If you have dry skin, your skin is less able to produce oils and so you will need to use serums and creams with a higher content of lipid-rich oils.
Understanding whether your skin type is dry, or whether your skin condition is dehydrated will enable you to choose the right products. Let us try and help you!
