Does your skin feel tight, flaky and prone to fine lines, even if you use moisturiser religiously? You might be surprised to learn you're dealing with dehydrated skin, not simply dryness.

In the quest for a balanced and radiant complexion, understanding and addressing dehydrated skin is crucial. At The Clinic, we curate specialised dehydrated skin products designed to replenish moisture and strengthen the skin barrier to leave your skin plump, supple and glowing.

Decoding Skin Dryness and Dehydration

Dehydrated skin goes beyond mere dryness. While both conditions stem from a lack of moisture, understanding the difference is crucial for achieving a healthy, radiant complexion.

Dehydrated skin lacks water, which affects its ability to retain moisture, while dry skin lacks oil due to decreased sebum production. Think of it like a parched sponge – even if you pour oil on it, it won't absorb the moisture it needs.

This distinction is vital, as it influences the choice of skincare for dehydrated skin, emphasising the importance of hydration over merely adding oils to the skin.

Hidden Clues of Skin Dryness and Dehydration

Dry and dehydrated skin share some common characteristics and appearances, although they stem from different underlying causes. Understanding these similarities can help you identify and address these skin concerns effectively.

Rough Texture: Dry and dehydrated skin often feels rough to the touch due to a lack of moisture.
Dull Appearance: Both conditions result in a lacklustre complexion due to insufficient hydration.
Flakiness and Peeling: Dry skin is prone to flakiness and peeling, while dehydrated skin may also experience this to a lesser extent.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Both dry and dehydrated skin are more susceptible to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
Sensitivity: Both skin types tend to be more sensitive and reactive, leading to redness and discomfort.

Effective Dry, Dehydrated Skin Treatments

Addressing this type of skin requires a multi-faceted approach to restore the skin's moisture balance effectively. Dehydrated skin treatment focuses on incorporating products that not only hydrate the skin but also prevent moisture loss.

Effective treatments for this type of skin include using hyaluronic acid, known for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. Ingredients like glycerin and squalane are also proven dry and dehydrated skincare products that bolster the skin's natural barrier to lock in hydration.
