✨ DRY vs. DEHYDRATED — Do You Know the Difference?
As a licensed esthetician, this is one of the most common mix-ups I see — and it matters, because the solution is completely different! 🙌🏾
DRY SKIN (a skin type) lacks oil. Signs: scaling, roughness, itchiness, flaking, and cracked skin. You need lipid-replenishing, barrier-restoring products:
🧴 Pfect-A Ceramide Ampoule — 9,900 ppm ceramides to restore your protective barrier
🧴 Pfect-A Sitosterol 0.5% Cream — replenishes lipid balance & reinforces the stratum corneum
🧴 Corthe Rich M Lotion — 30% skin-identical ceramides for dry, itchy, irritated skin
🧴 Cellex-C G.L.A. Extra Moist Cream — gamma linoleic acid to prevent moisture loss, ideal for eczema-prone skin
DEHYDRATED SKIN (a skin condition) lacks water — anyone can have it, even oily skin types! Signs: poor elasticity, sunken eyes, wrinkles, acne, cracked lips. You need humectants and water-binding ingredients:
💧 Dermagarden Aqua Serum — instant hydration burst for dry, dehydrated, or combo skin
💧 KrX Quenching Glow Toner — glycerin, hyaluronic acid & panthenol to restore water levels
💧 Pre- & Probiotic Nourishing Moisturizer — triple-weight hyaluronic acid + mushroom humectant for dewy radiance
💧 Corthe Dermo Essential Moisture RX Recharging Cream — water-barrier gel that minimizes moisture loss
💧 Dermagarden Glacial Water — gel mist with 850,000 ppm glacial water for instant relief
