One of the most common skin care woes this time of year is dry skin. But your skin may not be dry, just dehydrated. Most people don’t realize that dry skin and dehydrated skin are two very different things. In fact, they not only reflect completely different conditions, they have different causes and treatment protocols.
What’s the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin"
In the most basic terms, dry skin is characterized by a lack of sebum, whereas dehydrated skin results from a lack of water in the top layer of the skin. According to cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Michele Green, having dry skin isn?t always serious. Usually it?s caused by environmental factors like cold or hot weather or when there’s not enough moisture in the air. It can also be caused by topical irritants including chlorine, hot showers or baths or harsh beauty products. A variety of internal factors can also be to blame, like eczema and psoriasis, hormonal conditions and some oral medications Dr. Jennifer M. Segal points out. Some signs to look out for are cracks, flaking or peeling and redness. While dehydrated skin can appear dry, it’s not the same as having dry skin. “For someone that has dehydrated skin, signs to be aware of include itchiness, dullness and increased appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,” says Green. “In severe cases, you may experience dizziness, dry mouth, faintness, dark urination and overall fatigue.”
