DRY skin and DEHYDRATED skin are NOT the same thing 👏🏽
Dry skin lacks oil. Dehydrated skin lacks water.
So when you come in for your underarm or Brazilian wax, trust me… we can tell what your skin has been missing
Let’s break it down so you know exactly what your skin is begging for:
🧴 Dry Skin (Lacks Oil/Lipids)
This is a skin type. Your body naturally produces less oil, meaning your skin struggles to retain moisture and keep its protective barrier intact.
• What it looks/feels like: Flaky, rough, ashy, and prone to premature aging or irritation.
• The Fix: Rich creams, oils, and lipid-barrier repair products to lock everything in.
💧 Dehydrated Skin (Lacks Water)
This is a skin condition, meaning anyone—even someone with super oily skin—can experience it. It’s caused by external factors like weather, diet, caffeine, or using harsh products.
• What it looks/feels like: Looks dull, feels “tight” or stretched, shows fine lines easily, and can actually overproduce oil to compensate for the lack of water (leading to breakouts).
• The Fix: Hydrating serums, water-rich moisturizers, and drinking your damn water.
