All you need to know about Dry/Dehydrated Skin
What's the difference between dehydrated and dry skin?
Dry skin is a skin type and means your skin is usually dry. Dehydrated skin is an issue that affects all skin types and means you have a lack of water in your skin, which may only be temporary.
Which moisturiser is best for dry skin?
The best moisturiser for dry skin is one that has been specifically formulated for dry skin. This is important as facial moisturisers for oily skin won't apply as much moisturiser as one for dry or dehydrated skin, so you won't get the benefit if your skin is in desperate need of additional hydration.
Does moisturiser help dehydrated skin?
Yes, a moisturiser for dehydrated skin will benefit your skin. Dehydrated skin lacks water in the outer layers, making it vulnerable to damage, such as cracking, skin flaking and rough textures. Rich and hydrating dry and dehydrated skin moisturisers provide vital nutrients, like vitamin E, and other moisture-locking ingredients which ensure healthy skin.
