DEHYDRATED SKIN

Dehydrated skin lacks water and can feel tight, dull and show fine lines, though
the skin may otherwise be oily. The condition often occurs due to factors such as climate,
stress or insufficient hydration. Proper skin care is essential to recovery
the moisture balance, and it is important to use water-based moisturizers and
ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which binds water to the skin. This helps to
refresh and strengthen the skin's moisture barrier.

The difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin lies in their causes and treatment:

Dry skinis a skin type where the skin lacks natural oils (sebum). It feels tight, rough and can peel. Dry skin is often genetic, but can also be aggravated by factors such as age and climate. To treat dry skin, it is important to use rich, oil-based moisturizers that add fats to the skin.
Dehydrated skinis a condition where the skin lacks water, not oil. It can feel tight, dull and have fine lines, even if the skin can otherwise be oily. Dehydrated skin can affect all skin types and is often caused by external factors such as weather, air conditioning or too little water intake. Treatment involves water-based moisturizers and ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which help the skin bind water.

In short: Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water.
