Dry skin and dehydrated skin are not the same thing — and treating them the same way can leave you wondering why your skin still doesn’t feel right.
Dry skin is a skin type. It means your skin naturally produces less oil.
Dehydrated skin is a condition where your skin is lacking water — and yes, even oily skin can be dehydrated.
The difference matters because what your skin needs depends on what’s actually going on. Sometimes it’s about adding hydration, sometimes it’s about supporting the skin barrier, and sometimes it’s about taking a closer look at what may be irritating your skin in the first place.
Before adding another product to your routine, make sure you understand what your skin is asking for. 🤍
