Dehydrated Skin vs. Dry Skin
Dryness and dehydration are not quite the same—and understanding the difference can help you choose a more comfortable routine.
What Is Dry Skin?
Dry skin tends to produce less oil. It may feel rough, tight or flaky and often benefits from a richer moisturizer and gentle cleansing.
What Is Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydration describes a lack of water in the skin and can affect many skin types, including oily skin. Skin may feel tight or appear dull.
Build a Supportive Routine
Use a mild cleanser, apply moisturizer to slightly damp skin and consider humectants such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid. Avoid over-exfoliating.
Can a Facial Help?
A customized hydrating facial or HydraFacial may temporarily improve the look and feel of skin hydration. Your esthetician can recommend an option based on sensitivity and skin goals.
