Skin Dehydration

Skin dehydration occurs when the skin lacks sufficient water, leading to tightness, dullness, and increased sensitivity. Unlike dry skin, which is a skin type characterised by a lack of natural oils, dehydrated skin is a temporary condition that affects all skin types. Dehydration weakens the skin barrier, making it more susceptible to irritation, fine lines, and a rough texture. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, resilience, and overall radiance, ensuring a smoother, healthier complexion.

Skin Dehydration Causes

Several factors contribute to skin dehydration, including environmental exposure, lifestyle habits, and skincare routines. Harsh weather conditions such as wind, heat, and low humidity can strip the skin of moisture, while excessive sun exposure accelerates water loss. Inadequate water intake and high caffeine or alcohol consumption can further deplete hydration levels from within. Overuse of harsh skincare products, including strong cleansers and exfoliants, can disrupt the skin’s natural moisture balance. Additionally, ageing reduces the skin’s ability to retain water, making it more prone to dehydration over time.
