Dry or Dehydrated skin

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?


A lot of people get the two confused. Well let me make things clear for you; having a dry skin means that your skin lacks oil, the required oil to nourish it of course. You can be able to notice this on your skin when it starts feeling rough to touch and you can feel most of this roughness after you have just washed your face. Common causes can either be genetic, harsh soaps without the correct pH balance or not using a good moisturizer.

Dehydrated skin or the other hand is when your skin lacks moisture. This is highly noticeable by the formation of fine lines around the forehead, loss of elasticity and the loss of the so called " natural glow" . This can be caused by environmental things like the sun, wind and a bad working environment that is not skin friendly not using a good moisturizer also. So i know how hard it can be sometimes to find the right make-up with skin that is either dry or dehydrated. But i am here to help you.
