Dehydrated skin

Preventative steps to take: Drink at least 1.5 litres of water every day; avoid overheated or air-conditioned rooms; choose non-aggressive skincare products; apply moisturiser morning and night; protect yourself from UV rays; opt for gentle skincare; remember to remove make-up and cleanse your skin in the evening.
How to reduce or eliminate: Use formulas rich in humectant and emollient ingredients (glycerin, urea, polyglutamic acid, hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, etc.).

It presents as a loss of radiance and comfort, which results in a feeling of tightness, particularly after cleansing or showering. All skin types can experience dehydration.
