What is Skin Dehydration?

Skin dehydration occurs when the skin lacks sufficient water content, leading to a dull, rough, and flaky appearance. Dehydrated skin often feels tight and may show more pronounced fine lines and wrinkles.

What Causes Skin Dehydration?

Several factors can lead to poor skin hydration, including:

Environmental Conditions: Exposure to harsh weather, such as cold winds or dry heat, can strip moisture from the skin.
Aging: As we age, our skin's ability to retain moisture decreases, leading to dryness and a loss of elasticity.
Improper Skincare: Using harsh soaps, excessive exfoliation, or products that contain alcohol can deplete the skin's natural moisture.
Dehydration: Not drinking enough water affects the overall hydration of the body, including the skin.
Medical Conditions: Certain skin conditions, like eczema or psoriasis, can impair the skin's barrier function, leading to increased water loss.
