The Key Difference

Dry skin is a skin type that naturally lacks protective sebum, making it more susceptible to external aggressors. This lack of sebum can weaken the skin barrier, exposing the skin to dehydration and irritation. In contrast, dehydrated skin doesn't suffer from a lack of sebum but rather a lack of water. Temporary factors such as dry climates, central heating, or insufficient hydration can cause skin dehydration.

Distinctive signs:

- Scaling
- Post-cleansing tightness
- Oily areas (especially the T-zone)

Adapted Care

For dry skin:

- Opt for treatments rich in restorative ingredients and fatty acids.
- Choose a gentle oil-based cleanser like gel-in-oil cleanser .
- Use rich creams and non-comedogenic nourishing oils, such as Satin Dry Oil.
- Apply nourishing masks and exfoliate weekly.

For dehydrated skin:

- Soothe and deeply hydrate.
- Choose a moisturizing cleanser like a gel-to-oil cleanser .
- Opt for creams containing moisturizing agents such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, favoring more fluid textures.
- Increase water consumption and reduce coffee consumption!
