Although they’re often confused as the same thing, dehydrated skin and dry skin are actually different skin concerns. 𝓓𝓻𝔂 𝓢𝓴𝓲𝓷 Dry skin is a skin type caused by a lack of oil, or lipids. Dry skin is something you are born with and depends on the density of oil-producing glands in your skin. Dry skin is a result of genetics. Dry skin may also be influenced by the environment to an extent. Dryness may fluctuate in different climates, seasons or activities, but does not go away. 𝓓𝓮𝓱𝔂𝓭𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓢𝓴𝓲𝓷 Dehydration is a skin condition, rather than a skin type. It is caused by a lack of water in the skin. Dehydrated skin produces oil, but lacks water content in the lower layers of the skin. Dehydrated skin is a sign, or “symptom” influenced by lifestyle & the environment. It is a condition that will come and go. Any skin type can become dehydrated. 🔎Want to know what products and treatments are right for your skin?
