How do you know if your skin is dry or dehydrated?


We very rarely know the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin. But there are big differences between the two! Their origin is different, their needs and the cosmetics to be used are too! After reading our article, dry skin and dehydrated skin will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Having dehydrated skin, what does it mean?

Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition. We explain to you! You surely have dehydrated skin if you feel a lack of suppleness in your skin, tightness after showering and you see fine lines appear on your skin. But, these sensations are only occasional depending on the time of year!

These inconveniences are due to external aggressions that the skin undergoes such as extreme cold, wind, sun, pollution... or even stress, alcohol and tobacco consumption. Indeed, these factors cause a weakening of the hydrolipidic film of the skin. That is to say that the skin constantly loses water and can no longer keep it. You should know that this phenomenon of dehydration can happen to all skin types!

Here are Lauralee's tips for dehydrated skin:

Dehydrated skin needs to be protected in order to limit its dehydration. Several actions are possible to regain normal skin! As you know, hydration is done internally by drinking water and not externally by applying creams. Start by drinking water, about 1.5 liters of water a day, this will bring natural hydration to your skin. Then, avoid overheated rooms and air-conditioned rooms, this could accelerate the evaporation of the water present on your skin. Finally, opt for organic and waterless cosmetic products! There's no secret, it's by drinking more water and using treatments that strengthen the skin barrier that you will find soft and pleasant skin more quickly!

Here's what Lauralee has to offer if you have dehydrated skin:

- The moisturizing scrub:We already see you frowning and saying to yourself “but this will attack our skin even more”. Well think again! Even with dehydrated skin, it is good to exfoliate your skin.

The advantage of our scrub is that it gently exfoliates the skin and protects it. Our scrub is rich in organic coconut oil, which has the virtue of helping the skin to fight against dehydration!

Having dry skin, what does it mean?

Dry skin is a type of skin. Your skin is dry if you experience daily roughness, discomfort, dullness, burning sensations and tightness. This is due to a natural lack of sebum production in the epidermis. In this case, the skin is weakened and is unable to protect itself from external aggressions. In addition, dry skin is very thin and is often subject to faster skin aging. It is possible to have both dry skin and dehydrated skin. It is therefore essential to take care of it!

Our expert tells you everything you need to find softer skin!
