If you usually or sometimes use the terms "dry skin" and "dehydrated skin" to refer to the same skin condition, you are wrong. Dry skin and dehydrated skin are not the same thing.
Dr. "There is a big misconception about dehydrated skin and dry skin," Daniel Lanzer, a dermatologist, told Bustle. In both cases, the application of moisturizer is essential. The best moisturizers for dehydrated skin are those that treat a temporary skin condition - that is, dehydration, which is caused by damage to the skin's protective barrier, which allows moisture to be removed.
On the other hand, dry skin is a type of skin. Dry skin is characterized by low production of sebum (oily secretion of sebaceous glands).
Dehydrated skin is treated with some lifestyle changes and finding the right products. It is advisable to use cleansers that are skin friendly, do not contain alcohol and fragrance ingredients. Moisturizing creams with fatty acid content help a lot.
Dry skin affects certain areas, such as the face, feet, hands, hair, etc. In some cases, it may be a symptom that requires a more serious diagnosis, so consultation with a specialist is advised.
