✨ Dry vs. Dehydrated Skin — NOT the same thing ✨
If your skin feels tight, flaky, or dull… it matters why.
Dry skin and dehydrated skin look similar — but they must be treated very differently 👇
🌵 Dry skin = lacks OIL
Needs barrier repair, lipids, and nourishment.
💧 Dehydrated skin = lacks WATER
Can happen to ANY skin type (even oily!) and needs hydration + humectants to plump the skin.
Treating dehydration with heavy oils won’t fix the problem — and treating dry skin with only hydration won’t either. The key is knowing what your skin is actually missing ✨
That’s why customized skincare + treatments matter.
