We so often hear the terms ‘dry skin’ and ‘dehydrated skin’ bandied about the skincare world. But sometimes it’s hard to tell if our skin is dehydrated or just dry. The main difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin is the cause – put simply, dry skin lacks oil, whereas dehydrated skin lacks water.
Dry skin can be caused by a number of factors. Your skin can be dry due to hormonal imbalances, or if you work outdoors and are exposed to the elements and different temperatures, but also, it can be hereditary as well.
Basically, if your skin is dry, it is because it lacks oil. This can make it feel uncomfortable.
