That dull skin that feels tight and becomes less supple and comfortable: is it dry or dehydrated? The question may seem trivial, but it is important because depending on the answer, you will not take care of your skin in the same way.
The first thing to know is that while dry skin is permanently dry (it is a skin type), dehydrated skin is only temporary (and can affect all skin types). However, dry skin and dehydrated skin have one thing in common: in both cases, the skin is lacking in lipids.
In the case of dry skin, the skin lacks sebum. In the case of dehydrated skin, the moisture in the epidermis evaporates too easily due to internal and external factors.
In order to properly respond to the needs of the skin and reduce the associated discomfort, it is necessary to provide care adapted to this fragile skin. And not to get it wrong!
