Dry or Dehydrated Skin
Dehydrated skin is a condition that occurs when there’s a lack of water in the skin. This can happen to anyone, regardless of skin type — people with oily or combination skin can still experience dehydration. Dehydrated skin typically looks dull and can show premature signs of aging, like surface wrinkles and loss of elasticity. In dry skin water isn’t the problem.
Dry skin is a skin type, like oily or combination skin, where the complexion lacks oils, or lipids, so it takes on a more flaky, dry appearance. You may also see a scaly appearance, white flakes, redness or irritation and increased incidence of psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis.
Causes
The causes of dehydrated skin can be more than your skin lacking in moisture or water. It can be caused by environmental factors, lifestyle habits, diet, makeup, incorrect product use and even the weather. Factors include prolonged exposure to the sun, cold wind, air conditioning and heating, all of which can cause moisture to evaporate from the skin. An excessive lifestyle that includes alcohol, too much caffeine, smoking, lack of sleep, a poor diet and even lots of sweating from exercise can serve to dry out skin.
symptoms
Sufferers of dry skin may find that their makeup becomes patchy in dry areas. The skin might feel tight, itchy and taught. Blackheads and spots can still be a problem for people with dry skin, although the overall complexion may be ashen and dull. Dry skin may age the face since wrinkles can become more prominent if the skin is less hydrated. An ongoing condition,
someone who has dry skin will continuously treat it.
Expert tips
For dehydrated skin, oral hydration is a must because it’s adding water into complexion from the inside. You can also incorporate water rich foods into your diet, such as watermelon, strawberries, cucumber, and celery.
For dry skin, keep on moisturizing. This process helps dry skin better retain water and maintain a proper level of hydration. The key to addressing dry skin is finding products that help you lock in moisture, especially overnight. Try using a humidifier, especially during winter months, and wear a gel sleeping mask for an extra boost.
