How To Refresh Dehydrated Skin

What's The Difference Between Dry & Dehydrated Skin?

You may have thought that dry & dehydrated mean the same thing when it comes to your skin…however, this is not the case! Your skin has a certain type that can change due to certain factors such as age, changes in weather, and your skincare routine. Although dry & dehydrated skin have many similarities, there’s a big difference between the two which many people struggle to identify. But at our Winchester skin clinic, we’re here to help with some hints and tips on how to understand the difference between dry & dehydrated skin! Keep reading to find out how to look after your skin and keep it feeling hydrated all year round…

What Is Dehydrated Skin?

As the name suggests, dehydrated skin is due to the skin lacking water. This can happen to anyone, no matter your skin type – whether you have oily, combination or acne prone skin, your skin can still become dehydrated. Skin that is dehydrated has a changed appearance as it will look dull and can potentially show early signs of aging like wrinkles & loss of elasticity. Dehydrated skin may also feel irritated & itchy. Some reasons you may be experiencing dehydrated skin are that you are not drinking enough water or you are being exposed to harsh weather conditions such as too much sun or cold weather.

If you are unsure whether you are suffering from dehydrated skin, you can check by pinching a small area of the skin on your cheek gently for a few seconds. If your skin shows elasticity and falls back into place then your skin most likely isn’t dehydrated. However, if your skin takes a few seconds before it bounces back into place then it is probably dehydrated.

How Do I Treat Dehydrated Skin?

Drinking more water is not enough to solve your dehydrated or dry skin problems! You will need a new, hydrating skincare routine that will restore and repair your skin’s hydration issues.
