Skin dehydration is a common problem that can affect all skin types, whether oily, dry or combination, at any age. Dehydrated skin lacks water, not lipids, making it a temporary condition rather than a permanent skin type. Understanding the difference between dehydrated skin and dry skin is essential for choosing the right skincare products.
How can you recognise dehydrated skin?
The symptoms or signs of dehydrated skin are numerous and vary from person to person:
Tightness of the skin, especially after cleansing the face or body
Redness and skin discomfort such as tightness or itching
Lack of radiance, dull complexion
Appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration, particularly on the forehead and around the eyes
Rough skin texture, scales in the most severe cases
If you notice these signs, it is likely that your skin is dehydrated and needs appropriate care.
Why is my skin dehydrated?
The skin is composed of 70% water, an essential amount for its proper functioning and natural radiance. However, this water is subject to natural evaporation. The hydrolipidic film, composed of sebum and water, plays a crucial role in preventing this water loss by forming a protective barrier.
When this film is damaged, water escapes more quickly, leading to dehydration. Several factors can weaken this protective film.
What factors contribute to skin dehydration?
Skin dehydration can be caused by various external and internal factors at any age:
Climate aggressors:
cold, wind, sun and pollution are factors that alter the hydrolipidic film, causing skin dryness. It is essential to protect yourself from them.
UV rays:
they gradually destroy skin cells and increase water evaporation.
Inappropriate skincare:
using products that are too harsh or unsuitable for your skin type can upset its natural balance and cause dryness.
Healthy lifestyle:
a diet low in essential fatty acids and water contributes to dehydration.
Repeated friction:
using rough towels or wearing irritating clothing can weaken the skin barrier and cause dry, itchy skin.
Internal factors:
stress, fatigue and hormonal changes affect the skin’s ability to retain water, thereby contributing to dry skin.
How can you rehydrate dehydrated skin?
The good news is that dehydrated skin can regain its radiance and suppleness with a few simple steps and the right skincare products.
1. Adopt a moisturising skincare routine
Gently cleanse your skin:
choose mild cleansers without sulphates or alcohol so as not to damage the hydrolipidic layer.
Apply a moisturising lotion:
an alcohol-free mist or toning lotion helps prepare the skin for treatment.
Deeply moisturise:
choose a serum to moisturise your skin that is rich in hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains water.
Use a suitable moisturiser:
whether light or richer, it must meet the needs of your skin type and age. Remember to moisturise your face and body.
Apply a moisturising mask once or twice a week:
choose formulas rich in soothing active ingredients such as aloe vera or glycerine.
2. Hydrate your dehydrated skin from within
Drink enough water:
internal hydration is essential for maintaining skin balance.
Choose foods rich in omega-3:
oily fish, olive oil and nuts help strengthen the skin barrier.
Eat fruits and vegetables with high water content:
watermelon, cucumber, oranges and melon are ideal for boosting hydration.
3. Protect your skin from external aggressions
Use sun protection:
apply sunscreen daily to prevent UV damage. This sun protection should be reapplied throughout the day without waiting for signs of dry skin or sunburn to appear.
Protect yourself from the cold:
in winter, opt for richer creams and scarves to limit wind damage.
Limit showers at excessively hot temperatures:
they promote evaporation from the skin.
