Your skin feels uncomfortably tight, shines for no reason, makeup “cracks” into fine lines, and the cream you've used for years suddenly seems to do nothing. Chances are your skin isn't dry but dehydrated. And yes, those are two different things.
Dry or dehydrated skin: what's the difference?
Dry skin is a skin type: it lacks oil and stays that way more or less for life. Dehydrated skin is a condition: it lacks water, and it can happen to anyone, including oily and combination skin. That's why even oily skin can be dehydrated, however strange that sounds.
Signs your skin is dehydrated
- Tightness after washing that doesn't go away
- Fine, shallow lines that appear overnight, especially around the eyes
- A dull complexion, skin that looks “tired”
- Makeup collects in lines and doesn't stay put
- Increased sensitivity and occasional flaking
Why does skin get dehydrated?
The usual culprits are sun and sea in summer, dry heated air in winter, air conditioning, too little fluid, harsh skincare with too much exfoliation and alcohol in products, and age, because over time the skin holds water less and less well.
How to get water back into your skin?
- Skincare that binds water: hyaluronic acid, glycerin and ceramides, applied to damp skin
- Gentler cleansing: no hot water and no foaming gels that strip the protective layer
- Moisture from within: enough water throughout the day, especially in summer
- Boosting circulation and renewal: this is where treatments come in
What if skincare isn't enough?
If the skin is chronically dehydrated, the problem often goes deeper: weakened microcirculation and slower cell renewal. An INDIBA facial warms the deeper layers of the skin, boosts circulation and nutrient supply, and stimulates collagen production. After the first few treatments clients most often describe their skin as “plumped” and fresher.
