Dry skin

Do you have dry or dehydrated skin? Be careful, it's not the same! Depending on the type of skin you have and the conditions to which it is exposed (sun, cold, wind, etc.) you may need some specific care with a moisturizer for dry skin, a facial cream for dry skin or even a specific treatment for damaged skin.

Difference between dry and dehydrated skin

We usually talk about dry or dehydrated skin, but it is not the same. Dehydrated skin has a low level of humidity in a timely manner and in general a moisturizer is enough to return it to its normal state. Dehydration can affect any of the skin types: dry, oily, or combination.

For its part, dry skin is a type of skin that has few fatty components in its natural state (due to age, genetic factors, etc.). In addition to a moisturizer, this type of skin requires a treatment for dry skin.

Best moisturizers and for dry skin

To regain skin hydration, use moisturizers with ingredients such as almond , coconut, or olive oil . In the case of dry skin, the best treatments are based on substances such as aloe vera , rose hip or sea buckthorn , which in addition to providing hydration, restore the skin's natural fatty layer.

And when the skin is especially damaged by dryness (with redness, tightness or even flaking and cracking), it is advisable to apply a treatment for dry skin based on the regenerative properties of hyaluronic acid , collagen and other substances.
