The tightness and discomfort characteristic of dry skin require hydrating and nourishing care to restore its balance.

FAQ about dehydrated/dry skin

What are the signs of dry skin?

The signs of a dry skin include tightness, a feeling of discomfort, redness, a rough texture and sometimes flaking or cracking.

Dry skin and dehydrated skin: what's the difference?

The dry skin lacks lipids, affecting its protective barrier and potentially leading to signs of dehydration, while dehydrated skin lacks water, which can affect all skin types occasionally.

Can dry skin be attributed to hormonal factors?

Hormonal imbalances, such as the decrease in oestrogen during menopause, or thyroid disorders, can reduce lipid production and exacerbate dry skin.

How to prevent skin dryness?

To prevent skin dryness, it is essential to regularly moisturise the skin with suitable products, avoid harsh cleansers, and protect the skin from the cold.

Are dry skins more prone to premature ageing?

Can makeup exacerbate skin dryness?

Yes, certain matte foundations or powders can dry out the skin. When one has dry skin, it is recommended to favour rich and hydrating formulas.

Does the cold exacerbate skin dryness?

Which moisturiser texture should one choose when they have dry skin?

Balms and rich creams are particularly suitable for dry skin, whereas gels are more intended for oily skin.

Can dry skin change with age?
