Is Your Skin Dry or Dehydrated?

Is Your Skin Dry or Dehydrated?

Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water. You can be oily and dehydrated at the same time—and dehydration is a major cause of dullness.

Signs of Dehydration

  • Skin feels tight, even if it is oily.
  • Fine lines appear when you pinch the skin.
  • Skin looks flat or grayish.

The Fix

Stop using harsh, stripping cleansers. Introduce a humectant serum (like Hyaluronic Acid) and drink more water!
