WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRY AND DEHYDRATED SKIN?

Aren't dry and dehydrated skin the same thing? Even if at first glance they sound like the same beauty problem: no. They even differ significantly in their needs - and they are the number 1 skin aging problem! It's even more important to know the difference. We'll show you how you can tell them apart - and how you can use a simple self-test to find out what your skin really needs.

Fact Check: Dry vs. Dehydrated Skin 💧
dry skin
  • Dry skin = Skin type
  • Duration: Permanently
  • Reason: Dry skin produces too little sebum (oil) in the deeper layers of the skin.
  • Result: Skin feels rough, flaky and tight.
  • Good to know: Dry skin can have normal moisture levels despite low sebum production. She is dry, but not dehydrated.
Dehydrated skin
  • Dehydrated skin = Skin condition
  • Length of time: Temporary
  • Reason: Skin lacks water due to external factors such as heat, cold or lack of sleep.
  • Result: Skin feels dry, tight and sometimes sensitive.
  • Good to know: Any skin type can be dehydrated, even oily skin that produces too much sebum to compensate for the lack of moisture.
