How to care for dehydrated skin?

What is dehydrated skin?

The dehydrated skin is a skin condition and not a type of skin. It is therefore a temporary phenomenon that can be acted upon and that affects all skin types.

One can have combination skin and be dehydrated or oily skin and suffer from dehydration... And this, summer and winter. As soon as the skin is subjected to temperature variations (heating and air-conditioning are the worst), to an unsuitable beauty routine or simply to an unbalanced lifestyle, dehydration shows its face.

The reason? The skin is the last organ to draw on your body's water reserves. As you can see, dehydrated skin is skin that lacks water.

The dehydrated skin ? To be sure, here are the associated phenomena:

Skin that is tight in a localized manner (cheeks, cheekbones) and punctually. Generally, a feeling of discomfort is felt after the skin has been cleansed and after getting out of the shower. Redness can appear on the cheeks.
Skin that is a little rough to the touchA lack of suppleness and softness.
Fine lines around the eyes or mouth that are often mistaken for age-related wrinkles. AlthoughAlthough skin dehydration is responsible for the first wrinkles (oxidative stress), these fine lines disappear after applying a moisturizing cream. If they persist, they are indeed wrinkles related to skin aging.
