Dry or Dehydrated Skin? Here’s How to Tell and Treat It !
Tight, flaky, dull skin? You might assume it's dry — but it could be dehydrated. Understanding the difference is crucial for choosing the right products and treatments. At BELAMÉRES, we begin every treatment plan with precision diagnosis.
Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin – What’s the Difference?
- Dry skin lacks oil (sebum) — it’s a skin type
- Dehydrated skin lacks water — it’s a skin condition
Dry skin often feels rough and may have flaking, while dehydrated skin can feel tight, appear dull, and highlight fine lines.
How to identify dehydration
The common signs are:
- Dullness despite moisturising
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Skin feels tight after cleansing
Treating each condition effectively
- Dry skin: Use richer creams, oils, and lipid-repairing products
- Dehydrated skin: Focus on water-based serums with hyaluronic acid, panthenol, or niacinamide
