Skin dehydration is a temporary condition that can affect all skin types, whether dry, oily or combination. Dehydrated skin lacks water, which leads to feelings of discomfort, tightness, a dull complexion and sometimes more pronounced expression lines. Fortunately, simple actions and an adapted routine can rebalance the skin's hydration and restore its natural radiance.
Dry or dehydrated skin: what’s the difference?
-
Dry skin : The skin lacks lipids (natural fats) to maintain its elasticity and suppleness. This type of skin is often genetic or linked to hormonal imbalances.
-
Dehydrated skin : The skin lacks water, which can be temporary and caused by environmental factors or unsuitable skincare habits. Oily skin can also be dehydrated!
The key is to adopt care and habits that restore hydration without disturbing the skin's natural balance.
The main causes of skin dehydration
-
Environmental factors : Cold, wind, heating or air conditioning dry out the ambient air and deprive the skin of its moisture.
-
Harsh skincare products : Cleansers containing sulfates or exfoliants used too frequently can damage the skin barrier.
-
Lifestyle : Insufficient water consumption, excess caffeine or alcohol and lack of sleep directly impact skin hydration.
-
Natural aging : Over time, the skin's ability to retain water diminishes, requiring appropriate care to compensate.
Tips to rehydrate your skin effectively
1. Cleanse your skin gently
Aggressive cleansing can worsen dehydration by stripping away essential lipids from the skin barrier.
-
Choose gentle cleansers without sulfates or alcohol.
-
Avoid water that is too hot, which dries out the skin.
2. Hydrate in several steps
Moisturizing your skin is more than just applying cream. A well-thought-out routine includes:
-
A moisturizing essence or lotion : To prepare the skin and promote water retention.
-
A serum : Concentrated in active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, it targets the deeper layers of the skin.
-
A cream : To seal in moisture and strengthen the skin barrier.
3. Protect your skin from external aggressions
-
Apply sunscreen daily, even in winter, because UV rays weaken the skin and accelerate its dehydration.
-
Use treatments rich in antioxidants to fight free radicals (pollution, stress).
4. Supplement with good habits
-
Hydrate from the inside : Drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day.
-
Improve ambient air : Use a humidifier, especially in winter when heating dries out the air.
-
Reduce exfoliation : Once a week is enough to eliminate dead cells without weakening the skin barrier.
The active ingredients to favor for rehydrated skin
-
Hyaluronic acid : Capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, it is the key ingredient for deep hydration.
-
Plant polysaccharides : Soothe the skin and promote water retention.
-
Ceramides : Restore skin barrier lipids to limit water loss.
-
Aloe vera : Hydrates and calms feelings of tightness.
-
Antioxidants : Like vitamin C or polyphenols, they protect against external aggressions.
