How to differentiate between dry skin and dehydrated skin?

Before treating your skin, you must first know how to differentiate dry skin from dehydrated skin in order to choose the right treatment. But how do you recognize your skin type ?

Skin can become dehydrated due to lack of water consumption, but also due to the use of inappropriate products or climate change. Dry skin is generally caused by a lack of sebum , the natural oil produced by the skin. This can be linked to genetic factors, but also environmental ones.

If your skin looks dull, has fine lines, and uneven skin tone even after cleansing, it's lacking moisture . You may also experience a tight feeling that intensifies after removing makeup or rinsing.

Does your skin tend to be rough, flaky and have visible dead skin? Do you often feel tight and itchy? It's time to treat your dry skin with Blue Skincare!

What are the first signs of dry skin?

Signs of dry skin can be identified through several factors:

• Unevenness : Your skin feels rough to the touch, has a less smooth texture than usual;
• Tightness : You feel a sensation of discomfort or tension, especially after cleaning your skin;
• Itching : You feel a regular need to scratch yourself, this is a common sign of dryness;
• Redness : You notice areas of redness or irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin;
• Visible flakes : you notice the appearance of dead skin or small scales, often visible on dry skin;
• Dull complexion : your skin may appear less radiant, it loses its natural luminosity;
• Cracks : Your hands or feet have cracks or fissures, in more advanced cases.

What causes dry skin?

There are many different factors that can lead to dry skin. Here are some common examples:

• Climate change : Temperature variations, cold and dry air are different elements that can dry out the skin;
• Prolonged exposure to the sun : UV rays can damage the skin barrier, making the skin dry;
• Heredity : Some people have a genetic tendency to produce less sebum, a cause directly linked to dry skin. Sensitive skin also has a less effective skin barrier;
• Hormonal changes : Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy or menopause, can also dry out the skin. Age is also a factor linked to dry skin, as over the years, sebum production decreases;
• Diet : Low intake of foods containing essential fatty acids, water and nutrients may contribute to dry skin;
• Unsuitable cosmetic products : using perfumes or products containing alcohol can irritate and dry out the skin;
• Harsh cleansers : Some soaps and facial cleansers contain sulfates or drying agents that strip the skin of its natural oils.
