What is dehydrated skin?

To begin with, we should not confuse dry skin , which is a type of skin that tends to lack lipids, with dehydrated skin , which is a more or less long-term condition linked to a lack of water.

So, skin can be oily or combination and dehydrated, because this means that it lacks water. The most common consequences are the feeling of tightness and the appearance of dehydration wrinkles . The skin also lacks comfort and can become dull.

Dehydrated skin therefore has more difficulty retaining water under its hydrolipidic barrier. Sometimes, this is a one-off condition , such as when getting out of the shower, but sometimes the skin has more difficulty regaining a natural balance of hydration.

Fortunately, it is possible to help your skin so that it no longer becomes dehydrated on a daily basis.

Why does skin become dehydrated?

There are several reasons why the skin becomes dehydrated. First of all, there are some external factors that have a real influence, such as cold, sun, wind, pollution, or the use of unsuitable cosmetic care.

Other internal factors also come into play, such as stress and lifestyle (diet, sleep, smoking, daily hydration, etc.)

Finally, certain medical treatments can affect the skin's hydration level, as well as natural skin aging .

What care should be given to dehydrated skin?

To help dehydrated skin regain its balance, opt for gentle, humectant ingredients like aloe vera orhyaluronic acid .

In fact, aloe vera gel contains a lot of water, but also vitamins, minerals and amino acids that help take care of skin tissue.

Hyaluronic acid is capable of retaining up to 1000 times its weight in water . Its use not only helps maintain a good level of hydration, but also helps to have plumper skin.

Of course, it is also important to have adequate water intake every day, whether through drinking or eating water-rich foods.

So you can take care of your dehydrated skin by combining these two key ingredients, and opting for a gentle and effective routine.
