Dry vs. Dehydrated Skin
Example of dry skin
One of the typical skin concerns today is knowing if you have dry or dehydrated skin. And no, it’s not the same thing.
Dry Skin is a skin type you are born with, caused by your sebaceous glands producing less oil than normal. Characteristics include skin that feels scaly, rough, itchy, or tender. Dry skin needs lipid-rich, oil-based products (like ceramides or heavy creams) to protect the moisture barrier.
Dehydrated Skin is a temporary skin condition that can affect any skin type, including oily or combination skin. This is caused by a lack of water in the skin’s layers, which could be due to weather, diet, low water intake, or harsh products. It often looks dull and shows extra fine lines. Dehydrated Skin needs water-attracting ingredients (like hyaluronic acid) and increased fluid intake.
Example of dehydrated skin
The ideal moisturiser should contain ingredients that help replenish both water and lipids. If your skin is dry, avoid overly potent actives such as retinol and exfoliating acids, which can cause further irritation; instead, look for humectants such as hyaluronic acid, which help draw water into the skin. If you have either dull, dry skin with fine lines or dehydrated, flaky, red, irritated skin, give Duckberry Goose Evening Primrose Moisturiser a go!
