Is your skin feeling more sensitive lately? Or even dull, rough or tough? The truth is, all of these signs point to skin dehydration. All acting as a critical component of when your skin is lacking water.
Which is why taking action for your skin is so important. By doing so, you're preventing rough skin that makes your daily makeup and skin care routine more challenging.
Dehydrated Skin vs Dry Skin
A common misconception is that dry and dehydrated skin are the same. Although these have similar signs, they have two completely different causes. By determining the root cause of your skin type, you'll be able to treat this more accurately.
See the skin breakdown below:
- Dehydrated Skin: Caused by a lack of water. It can affect any skin type, like oily or combination skin. It often shows up as dullness, fine lines, or tightness.
- Dry Skin: Unlike dehydrated skin, this is a type that is often genetic. It happens when the body makes less natural oil. This can lead to flakiness, a rough texture, and sensitivity.

What's Behind Dehydration and the Skin Issues It Causes
When it comes to skin dehydration, there are many factors behind this to consider. These can range from your environment, the weather (seasonal shifts,) a poor skincare routine, to your current medical history. By taking a close look at all of these, you can manage the issue of dehydrated skin.
See what contributes to dehydration below:
Air Conditioning: Too much air conditioning or heating pulls moisture from your skin.
Your Hygiene Routine: Excessive hot showers, baths, or heated environments like saunas can strip your skin of its oils.
Your Water Intake: A woman is recommended to drink 2.7 litres, and men 3.7 litres of water. If this is below, it can cause skin dehydration.
Skin Exfoliation: Removing dead skin too harshly through the wrong products, or too frequently can weaken your skin's barrier.
Medication: Certain medications can make your skin more prone to dehydration. This includes but isn't limited to Isotretinoin and Retinoids.
*If you're currently taking prescription medications, we advise that you consult with your health practitioner regarding this.
The Active Ingredients That Hydrate Your Skin
Through adding the right skin care ingredients into your routine, this helps to prevent the level of moisture loss within the skin.
See the ingredients that deliver results:
- Niacinamide: This star ingredient is known to improve the skin's barrier function, reduces water loss, and soothes sensitivity. The rejuvenating moisturiser with niacinamide contains Vitamin B3 to help retain the skin's water content. Which can improve the appearance of a hydrated skin complexion.
- Hyaluronic Acid: The ingredient holds up to 1000x its weight in water, which then plumps and softens the skin. For some of the best skin care with hyaluronic acid, see the hyaluronic booster serum. Through this hydrating ingredient, it provides intensive nourishment for skin smoothness.
- Glycerin: This humectant plays a key role in helping ensure that your skin holds water. The Active Clean Cleanser contains this ingredient to provide thorough yet hydrating cleansing. This helps you build a strong skin barrier to fight off impurities.
*Niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin work together to hydrate and strengthen your skin. They lock in moisture, smooth the skin, and smooth texture to brighten the complexion.

Types of Dehydrated Skin
Dehydrated skin can appear in different ways. Surface dehydration causes tightness and flakiness because the skin's barrier is damaged. Deep dehydration makes the skin look dull and shows fine lines from water loss in deeper layers.
Oily-dehydrated skin feels greasy but lacks water, often leading to breakouts. Sensitive-dehydrated skin is red, irritated, and uncomfortable due to a weakened barrier.
