Quenching Your Skin’s Thirst: Understanding Skin Dehydration

We’ve heard it all before, “drink water,” and hydrate religiously. Drinking water is one way to take care of your body. Water ensures that your organs operate at peak condition and keeps you running through your day at your best.

Just like the rest of your organs, your skin also needs to be hydrated to stay plump and radiant. Although it’s easy to mistake dehydrated skin for dry skin, there are some stark differences between these two. Some can even be fixed by adding an extra tall glass of water to your day.

Ready to learn more about skin dehydration? Then, let’s quench your curiosity! 

Dehydrated Skin vs. Dry Skin

Dry skin is a skin type that you’re born with, it can also be developed over time as one gets older. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a temporary condition that can be treated by hydrating yourself.

It’s possible for all skin types (dry, combination, normal, and oily) to experience dehydrated skin. 

What Causes Dehydrated Skin?

Inadequate Water Intake

Not drinking enough water is one of the biggest contributors to dehydration. Our bodies need water to stay lubricated and to perform their daily functions. 

From moving, breathing, and thinking, your body uses up water to make these things happen, which is why you must continue replenishing the water your body loses throughout the day. 

Environment

Your environment also plays a huge part in your skin’s hydration. The weather, air quality, and sun exposure can also affect your skin.

For example, if you live in a hot and dry area, you’re more likely to have dehydrated skin, compared to those from humid areas. 

Harsh Skincare Products

Believe it or not, using the wrong skincare products can also make your skin dehydrated. Some skincare products are much too harsh for your skin, stripping it of its natural oils and moisture. This is why we recommend talking to a professional about your skin type and asking for their help in finding the right products for your skin. 

How to Treat Dehydrated Skin?

Drink Water

Staying hydrated and drinking enough water is the best remedy for dehydrated skin. Experts recommend drinking at least eight glasses of water a day and adjusting it according to your physical activity level and environment. 

Adding food rich in hydration like fruits and vegetables can also do wonders for your skin. 

Use Moisturizing Products

Using moisturizer daily is another step to seal in moisture in your skin. Try to choose a moisturizer that fits your skin type and apply it right after you get out of the shower while your skin is still damp.

If you have an oily or combination skin type, we recommend using our Balancing Citrus Creme. However, if you have normal or dry skin, you can use our Collagen Peptide Creme. 

Edit Your Skincare Routine

Taking the time to edit your skincare routine so that it perfectly meets your skin type’s needs is another step to treating dehydrated skin. 

Opt for gentle cleansers that have low pH levels to ensure that it’s not stripping your skin of any of the nutrients it needs to stay plump. Another product you can add to your skincare routine is hyaluronic serum. 

Hyaluronic serum can increase your skin’s water absorption, allowing the top layer of your skin to stay hydrated for longer. 

Sleep

Sleep is an important part of the body’s natural cycle. It's during this time that our body works overtime to repair itself and make sure that we wake up the next day looking fantastic. 

Remember, beautiful, hydrated skin isn't just about vanity—it's about radiating health and vitality from the inside out. By incorporating these tips into your daily routine, you can ensure your skin is always hydrated, healthy, and happy. And who knows, you might even find yourself skipping that afternoon foundation and embracing the natural glow of your well-nourished skin.
