With spring around the corner it is time to get rid of the dull, itchy & dry winter skin. To do this first you must determine if your skin is dry or dehydrated. MOST of my clients have no idea their skin type or often think they have dry skin when it is really just dehdrated. So lets discuss the differences in dry & dehydrated skin.
DRY SKIN:
-dry skin is a skin type
-genetics play a big role
-lacks sebum (oil)
-small pores due to lack of oils
-feels dry all over the body
-more suseptible to premature aging
-try using a humidifier, gentle exfoliator & rich moisturizers
DEHYDRATED SKIN:
-skin conidtion not a skin type
-lacks water
-can be experienced by anyone
-comes & goes based on diet, products & treatments
-may experience breakouts
-needs water rich products
-key to fix is retaining moisture
-common for oily & acne prone skin that uses harsh exfoliating products that strip the skin of water
-I recommend a hyaluronic acid product, go easy on exfoliation & use sulfate free cleansers & drink lots of water
