Dry, dehydrated skin

Tight, slightly flaky, makeup won't sit: your skin is short of water, oil, or both.

Suitable treatments

Understanding the condition

Dry skin is when the stratum corneum can't hold enough water, usually due to a lack of natural lipids (ceramides, fatty acids) and moisturising factors. Dehydrated skin can happen even in oily skin. Telling them apart helps choose the right direction: adding water, replenishing lipids or restoring the barrier.

of people examined have dry skin, in a survey of 48,630 workers1

What causes dry, dehydrated skin?

Internal

  • AgeSebaceous glands and natural lipids decline with age.
  • ConstitutionAtopic dermatitis and some conditions make skin prone to dryness.

Habits

  • Over-cleansingHarsh cleansers and hot water strip away the protective oil.
  • Actives & medicationRetinoids, acids or acne medication can dry the skin.

Environment

  • Air conditioning & low humidityDraw moisture out of the skin all day long.
  • Sun & windDamage the stratum corneum and increase water loss.

Where does it act on the skin?

The epidermisThe layer to target
Superficial dermis
Deep dermis
Muscle & supporting tissue

Dry skin originates in the stratum corneum of the epidermis, where lipids and natural moisturising factors lock water into the skin.
