Every day our skin loses water. It's normal! But, lose too much and hello dehydrated skin, which can lead to irritation and sensitivity. Suss out the signs of dehydrated skin, and keep your skin feeling great with our simple guide to dehydrated skin.
What can cause dehydrated skin?
Air conditioning, the weather, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, too hot showers, harsh skincare products, and bypassing a gentle skincare routine can all be contributors to dehydrated skin. And, all skin types can become dehydrated - yes, even oily skin - because it's caused by a lack of water within the skin. If the air around is dry (or windy!), moisture evaporates from your skin. Restore the balance and hydrate skin with our products and tips, created with your dehydrated skin in mind.
