DEHYDRATED SKIN

Dehydrated skin is a condition marked by a lack of water (not oil) in the skin, resulting in dullness, tightness, and increased sensitivity. Unlike dry skin, which is a skin type, dehydration is a temporary state that can affect any skin type, including oily and combination skin.

Causes 

- Environmental Factors: Cold weather, wind, sun exposure, and air conditioning/heating strip moisture from the skin.

- Harsh Skincare: Overuse of exfoliants, alcohol-based products, or strong cleansers can disrupt the skin barrier.

- Lifestyle: Inadequate water intake, excessive caffeine/alcohol, and poor diet contribute to dehydration.

- Medical Treatments: Certain medications (diuretics, retinoids) and underlying skin conditions can exacerbate dehydration.
