Everything you need to know about nourishing your dry or dehydrated skin this winter.

Everything you need to know about nourishing your skin this winter

The contrast of cool weather, harsh winds, and heated environments can lead to both dehydration and the feeling of dryness. 

A common misconception is that dehydration and dryness are interchangeable terms which describe the same conditions found in human skin. While they seem similar, these terms do differ…

Dehydration

Dehydration describes a lack of water in the skin, and requires hydration from water-soluble actives to both replenish and retain water.

Dehydrated skin clogged by oil often remains dull, lacklustre in complexion and can feel uncomfortably tight.

Dryness

Dryness, by contrast, means a lack of oil in the skin, and requires moisturisation from oil-soluble actives to replenish and bolster its delicate lipid membrane. 

Dry skin that is hydrated but not sufficiently moisturised will still flake, irritate easily and present with a rough texture.
