Skin Concern:
Dehydrated Skin
Dehydrated skin is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin lacks sufficient water, regardless of skin type (oily, dry, combination). It's not the same as dry skin, which is a skin type characterised by insufficient oil production.
Causes of Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydration: Inadequate water intake can lead to overall dehydration, including the skin.
Certain Medications: Some medications can have a dehydrating effect on the skin.
Over-exfoliation: Excessive use of harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants can strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt the moisture barrier.
Hot Showers/Baths: Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils.
Air Conditioning/Heating: These can dry out the air and dehydrate the skin.
Types of Dehydrated Skin
Tight, rough, or flaky skin caused by a weakened barrier and moisture loss.
Dull, tired-looking skin with fine lines due to lack of water in deeper layers.
Skin feels greasy but lacks water, often leading to excess oil production.
Prone to irritation, redness, and discomfort due to a compromised barrier.
Treating Dehydrated Skin
Cleansers: Choose gentle, hydrating cleansers with ceramides and avoid harsh soaps.
Exfoliants: Opt for gentle chemical exfoliants with lactic acid and avoid harsh scrubs.
Moisturisers: Use rich, hydrating moisturisers containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin.
Serums: Incorporate hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, or niacinamide.
