Dry vs. Dehydrated. There is a difference! Whatever your skin type is, it is important to address it with the correct skin care and products.
DRY SKIN is a skin type, is characterized by fewer oil-producing glands on the face and body. Producing less sebum than normal means that skin does not have the lipids it needs to retain moisture and to build a strong barrier to protect against external aggressors.
DEHYDRATED SKIN has a lack of water, not oil. It is a state of your skin which you can fix. Dehydration is caused by many external factors, but the most common are weather, environment, diet, and caffeine consumption, all of which can result in diminished water content within the skin. Your skin cells are literally desperate for water. Dehydrated skin will feel tight, look dull, and you may notice more exaggerated wrinkles, along with dark circles under the eyes. Other common signs of dehydrated skin include redness, lots of congestion, and inflammation.
DRY SKIN tends to be uncomfortable, flaky, and itchy. The worst areas are typically near the eyebrows and around the corners of the nose and mouth. On the body, common trouble areas include the neck and inside of the arms and thighs. It is an inherent skin condition that you will sustain through life.
To improve these skin issues, incorporate EXFOLIATION to your skin care ritual. Exfoliating removes the buildup of dead skin that diminishes the absorption of moisturizer to penetrate the skin.
Also, consider adding Serums with Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides will boost hydration. During the cold, winter months switching to a heavier moisturizer at night will pump moisture into the skin.
Internal hydration is vital. Drink lots of fluids and eat water-rich fruits and vegetables. When skin is well hydrated, the cells swell, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
