Dehydrated Skin

How would we describe Dehydrated Skin

Georgina who is one of our Skin Care Therapists says that you may find yourself with “Dehydrated Skin” regardless of your regular skin type and at anytime e.g. during puberty onto your more mature years.

Your skin is most likely to feel quite tight and very thirsty for products. The skin may suffer very fine lines with a look like parchment especially around the eyes.

The skin’s pH level is important and we often relate/classify skin types by the Ph Level it has i.e. where it is in the Alkaline to Acid range and maintaining a slightly acidic pH of around 5.5 is critical.

Typical questions asked about Dehydrated Skin and some of our recommendations

Dehydrated Skin can occur on top of another existing skin problem or skin type, even Acne skin. So this needs to be addressed along side the predominant skin type.

Key factors here are an excess in such things as Alcohol and Caffeine for example which have a dehydrating effect and diet may need adjusting along with correct balance of skin care products.

You will need to use beauty and skin care products like Hydrating Boosters and Serums. These can be worked into your normal skin care routine but NOT Oil based as they need to be water based to re-hydrate the skin. The layering of products is important too.
