Many people suffer from dehydrated skin that leaves them in limbo when figuring out what their skin needs. Dehydrated skin is very common, especially this time of year.
The two best ways to see if your skin is dehydrated:
1. Skin that feels dry and tight but has an oily appearance
2. A wrinkled/craked appearance is present when skin is pinched
The difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin is this: dry skin lacks oil and dehydrated skin lacks water
Keep in mind that any skin type can be dehydrated, especially in the winter. Feed your skin what it needs to combat dehydration. You can do this by:
1. Drinking more water
2. Topically applying oil free hydration (Aveda's Intensive Hydrating Mask)
3. Don't use products that strip the skin
***This seems to be the most common way that people end up with dehyrated skin. If your skin feels tight after cleansing and/or not moist enough after you apply your moisturizer then invest in more products that give the skin a greater amount of moisture.***
Ingredients that will hydrate the skin include:
1. Glycerin-an emollient that locks in moisture
2. Hylauronic Acid-helps draw moisture to the skin
3. Vitamin E-contains hydrating and antioxidant properties
**Remember these ingredients should be amoung the first five for them to be effective**
