Main Text
You can have both conditions at the same time or one without the other.
Dehydrated skin has a lack of water in its outermost layer and the skin cells start thickening instead of shedding – this leads to the skin looking dull and tired and it can also feel tight.
How can you fix the dehydrated skin?
Just drinking more water will not fix the problem although ensuring that you drink enough (2-3 litres per day) will certainly help restore levels of hydration within the body. Our bodies are 60% water and when the body is dehydrated, it places added stress on the skin.
If your skin is dehydrated and particularly if this has resulted in spots, then you should establish an effective skincare regime – you need to repair and balance the outermost layers of your skin and effectively manage the breakouts.
Choosing an effective cleanser
Cleansers emulsify dirt and oil on the surface of your skin so that they can easily be removed.
A soap-based cleanser will increase the skin pH, making the surface more alkaline and interfering with the barrier function of the skin, thus further drying out your skin, so avoid soap!
Helping the skin to maintain its natural pH prevents the overgrowth of acne-causing bacteria
Don’t over-wash your face – twice a day and after exercise is enough
Beware of heavily fragranced products – if your skin is inflamed, this may further irritate it
A gentle cleanser that helps unblock pores without irritating your skin is ideal
Consult your skincare specialist to help find a cleanser that will suit your skin.
