Dehydrated Skin

What is dehydrated skin?
Dehydrated skin is a condition that occurs when there is a lack of water in the skin. This can happen to anyone, regardless of skin type: people with oily or combination skin can also suffer from skin dehydration.
It is, therefore, not a skin type but a skin condition.

Water is vital to the skin
It is important to know that the dermis, the middle layer of the skin is composed of more than 70% water. The epidermis feeds from the dermis, drawing nutrients from the blood to generate new cells. When the dermis does not contain enough water, its connective tissue including collagen and elastin can no longer fulfil its function of structure and volume of the skin. A dehydrated dermal layer leads to reversibly dull skin

Dehydrated skin can be caused by a multitude of factors:
-Stress and/or fatigue
-The climate (cold, wind, UV rays, etc.)
-Tobacco and alcohol
-Some products that may be too aggressive
-Some treatments such as medicines used to fight acne

How can you combat skin dehydration?
Unlike dry skin, skin dehydration can be treated by lifestyle changes. The first step is to make sure you drink enough during the day.
Fight stress, get enough sleep
Protect your skin from climatic aggressors
Limit or even stop smoking and alcohol consumption
Use suitable cleansing and care products without soap, fragrance, parabens and skin irritants
