WHAT IS DEHYDRATED SKIN?
Dehydrated skin lacks water, not oil. It can affect any skin type — including oily and acne-prone skin.
When the skin is dehydrated, it may feel tight, look dull, show fine lines more prominently and lose its natural glow.
Dehydrated skin lacks water, not oil. It can affect any skin type — including oily and acne-prone skin.
When the skin is dehydrated, it may feel tight, look dull, show fine lines more prominently and lose its natural glow.
Common causes include:
• Environmental stress
• Air conditioning and central heating
• Over-exfoliation
• Harsh skincare
• Poor barrier function
• Stress and lack of sleep
When the skin barrier is compromised, water loss increases, leading to both dehydration and a lacklustre appearance.
Signs of dehydration may include:
• Tightness after cleansing
• Fine lines that appear more visible
• Dull or uneven tone
• Increased sensitivity
• Makeup sitting poorly on the skin
Dehydration can fluctuate depending on lifestyle and environment.
Treatment may include:
• Hydration-focused facials
• Barrier-repair protocols
• Gentle resurfacing to improve radiance
• Targeted serums and structured homecare
The goal is to restore water balance while strengthening the skin barrier to prevent future dehydration.
Many clients notice improved comfort and glow instantly, this is enhanced with a mix of professional treatment and the correct homecare.
Dehydration can improve relatively quickly compared to other skin concerns when the barrier is properly supported.
