what is dehydrated skin?
Like dry skin, dehydrated skin lacks moisture. It feels dry and cracked. This is often because the skin barrier is damaged and moisture from the skin evaporates more easily.
Unlike dry skin, dehydrated skin is more of a skin condition than a skin type. This means that dehydrated skin is less genetic and depends on various internal and external factors: UV radiation and environmental toxins as well as your diet or incorrect skin care can lead to dehydrated skin.
WHAT CARE FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN?
Your skin is a sensory organ and as such it can signal to you that it is not well. Sensitive or sensitive skin is a subjectively perceived condition, which can often be accompanied by redness, flaking, itching and/or a feeling of tension. You may also know that touching feels uncomfortable or causes your skin to redden more quickly.
Sensitive and sensitive skin does not always have a clear medical cause. However, it can be related to the fact that the skin suffers from dryness and is lacking in oil - in the truest sense of the word, your nerves can be on edge.
If you have sensitive or sensitive skin, your skin's own protective film may also be damaged. You should get this under control if possible, because without this protective film your skin can dry out more quickly and pollutants can get into the skin more quickly and cause inflammation or skin damage.
TIPS FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN
Tip 1: Dry skin
What are possible causes of dry skin for you? Is it due to dry air, draining showers, intense sunlight or are you drinking too little water? Once you know your individual reasons for dehydrated skin, you can better prevent it.
Tip 2: Moisturize
Dry skin urgently needs moisture - and you have to bind it directly into the skin. The best way to do this is with a special moisturizer that uses urea and hyaluronic acid. In combination, the two active ingredients do an excellent job of hydrating and plumping up the skin.
Tip 3: Protective barrier
To treat dehydrated skin, you need to repair the damaged protective film on the skin. If this protective film is missing, moisture in the skin evaporates more easily to the outside and your skin is simultaneously exposed to external environmental influences. A vitamin and nutrient-rich anti-aging cream will help you rebuild the protective film.
Tip 4: Nutrition
To prevent dehydrated skin, you need to supply your body with enough water from within. After all, it consists of 80 to 85 percent water. Remember that alcohol and sugary drinks are toxic to already dehydrated skin. So it's better to drink enough water, unsweetened teas or highly diluted juices.
