Often confused, dry skin and dehydrated skin have different needs! We will explain everything to you
Do you have rough, tight skin? Having trouble determining if your skin is dry or dehydrated? Although your skin lacks comfort in both cases and presents similar symptoms, it is not easy to distinguish between the two and a misdiagnosis can compromise the entire effectiveness of your routine. Terms such as "skin dehydration" and "dryness" are often used interchangeably, creating confusion about how to treat these distinct dermatological issues. In this article, we will explain the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and guide you towards the beauty procedures to adopt.
“Dry” skin type is an innate characteristic, often inherited genetically. People with dry skin have a naturally limited production of sebum, the skin's natural oil. As a result, dry skin tends to lack lipids, which can lead to symptoms such as tightness, roughness, and even flaking. People with dry skin often need moisturizing products rich in lipids to maintain the balance of their skin. Skin can also become drier with age. During menopause, the skin loses lipids and becomes drier.
To treat dry skin, opt for products rich in lipids. Emollient moisturizing creams, nourishing oils, and gentle cleansers that preserve the skin barrier are valuable allies. Remove your makeup exclusively withCleansing Oil so as not to damage the protective film of the skin and add a few drops ofBeauty Oil in the Essential Creame to make it richer. Dietary supplements like omega-3 fatty acids can also help restore skin suppleness.
The “dehydrated” skin condition is temporary and can affect any skin type, including oily skin. Dehydration is due to a loss of water, and not necessarily to an absence of lipids. It can result from various factors such as weather conditions, excessive exposure to the sun, the use of harsh products, an unbalanced diet, or even hormonal changes.
Dehydrated skin can show signs such as fine lines of dehydration, a feeling of tightness, loss of elasticity, and sometimes increased oil production in response to dehydration. Unlike skin type, dehydration is reversible with the right care, including adequate hydration, use of moisturizing products, and careful attention to external factors that contribute to water loss.
To effectively combat skin dehydration, you must adopt a targeted care routine rich in moisturizing active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, inositol and even marine sugars. Thanks to its powerful cocktail of moisturizing and plumping active ingredients, the Fundamental Serum is the ideal ally. In addition, the use of Essential Cream and its 15 active ingredients seal in hydration, forming a protective barrier to prevent water loss. Throughout the day, do not hesitate to apply the Care Mist. Rich in fermented rice water, it intensely hydrates and protects the skin thanks to its antioxidants.
