dehydration

Generally, we all suffer from dehydrated skin whether we work in air conditioned offices, don't drink enough water or take medication. Dehydrated skin refers to the lack of moisture in the skin. Re-hydration and evaporation prevention are essential as dehydrated skin can also lead to sensitivity when the barrier function of the skin is impared.

Dehydration can often mis-interpreted as dry skin, which refers to skin that is lacking in oil not moisture.

Is your skin dry or dehydrated?

Dry skin generally refers to skin that is lacking in oil. Dehydrated skin usually refers to lack of moisture in the skin. Oily skin can also experience dehydration as dehydration is a lack of water, not oil.
