Hydratation de la peau

Do I have dehydrated skin?

All skins are subject to dehydration.

Dehydrated skin is skin whose epidermis lacks water. It is a temporary condition and not a specific skin type like oily or dry skin. One can have dry or oily skin that can be dehydrated.

Indeed, it is important to distinguish between dehydrated and dry skin. Dry skin does not produce enough lipids. These lipids form what is called the hydrolipidic film (protective barrier) on the surface of the skin.

As a result, the clinical symptoms of water deficiency include feelings of tightness, redness, lack of radiance and discomfort, which in extreme cases can lead to the appearance of scabs. It also causes dehydration lines all over the skin.

→ Why does the skin become dehydrated?

The water content of the skin is 70%. This water undergoes a natural evaporation process.

The hydrolipidic film acts as a “barrier” against external aggressions and also prevents water from evaporating. However, if this hydrolipidic film is weakened, the water will evaporate and thus cause dehydration and make the skin dry and dehydrated.

→ What are the external factors that can accentuate this dehydration phenomenon?

  • – UV rays from the sun are the main cause of dehydrated skin
  • – Repeated rubbing, whether it be from clothing or other sources, will weaken your epidermis
  • – The application of a care product or cream that is not adapted to your skin type
  • – The cold
