What’s the difference?
Dehydrated skin? Dry skin? Dehydrated AND dry skin? It’s
pretty tough to tell the difference between the two skin types and what exactly
causes them. But one thing they have in common, both skin types have a serious
lack of moisture that can lead to dull skin tone, uneven texture, and even
acne. So not cute.
What is Dry Skin?
If you have true dry skin, it means you’re lacking oil. You
are also dry everywhere else, including your body, hands and scalp – you were
born this way. Chances are any moisturizer you apply gets soaked up pretty
quickly.
What is Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydrated skin is a bit different. Rather
than your skin lacking oil, it lacks water. This is likely due to other factors
like; makeup, diet, environmental products, or using the wrong products. The
issue with dehydrated skin is that it attempts to make up for missing water by
increasing oil production which can lead to breakouts, and skin that is oily
and dry at the same time.
How to Treat
Luckily, if you’re still struggling to decide if your skin
is dry or dehydrated the treatment is essentially the same. ADD MOISTURE! To do
this I love using a facial serum; it’s super concentrated to deliver maximum
moisture in a small amount. I love Valentia RoyalRose Hydrating Serum . It’s made just for dry and sensitive skin types with the
perfect moisture balance.
The serum has light rose scent from the Rosa Damascena (AKA
Rose Oil) used. Rose oil is one of the best, if not the BEST oil for dry and
dehydrated skin. It’s incredibly nourishing, providing moisture, healing
nutrients and helps with balancing skin pH. After using this serum for just a
few weeks your skin will go from dehydrated to hydrated. Dullness and uneven
texture will be a thing of the past, and that dry tight skin feeling replaced
by comfortable and moisturized.
