Dehydration affects all skin types, even the most oily. If your skin feels tight, looks dull, or suddenly shows fine lines that seem to have appeared overnight, dehydration may be the cause. Unlike dryness, in which skin lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water.
Dehydration can lead to a loss of glow, elasticity and comfort. Luckily, dehydration is easy to correct!
Dehydrated vs. Dry Skin: What’s the Difference?
Many people use these words interchangeably, but they are actually opposite concerns.
Dehydrated skin
- Temporary and can be fixed
- A lack of water in the skin
- Common in all skin types, even oily and acne prone
- Skin feels tight and uncomfortable
Dry skin
- A common skin type
- Skin cannot produce enough of its natural oils (sebum)
- Skin feels rough and looks flakey
