Dehydrated skin is a skin condition in which the skin lacks water, yet can continue to produce sebum (oil). This means that skin dehydration is different from skin type (oily, dry, combination), which is linked to sebum production. The causes of skin dehydration can be multiple, including:
- Environmental factors: Exposure to extreme weather conditions, such as wind, sun, cold, dry air or pollution, can lead to skin dehydration.
- Poor skincare routine: Using aggressive skincare products, stripping cleansers or unsuitable products can damage the skin barrier and lead to moisture loss.
- Lifestyle habits : An unbalanced diet, insufficient water consumption and smoking can also contribute to skin dehydration.
Signs of dehydrated skin may include:
- Sensation of tightness and discomfort on the skin.
- Dull appearance and lack of shine.
- More visible fine lines and wrinkles.
Good To Know
For your face, we recommend the use of antioxidant cleansers enriched with fruit acids (AHAs) or even gentler flower acids (AHAs), which enable enzymatic exfoliation, much gentler than grain exfoliation. Yodi offers Vitamin C and Hibiscus Flower Powder Cleanser containing AHAs. This cleanser gently removes dead skin cells, helping your skin to better absorb the products you apply.
Next, we recommend a good moisturizing routine! Start with an aqueous serum on damp skin, preferably containing a moisturizing active ingredient such as hyaluronic acid. This precious serum will enable your skin to retain moisture deep down.
Then, seal in this hydration with the Rétinol-Like Végétal oil serumwhich is concentrated in Bakuchiol, the natural equivalent of retinol, prebiotic and coffee oil. This prodigy acts like a shield, preventing the evaporation of water from your skin's surface.
For the skin on your body, start with gentle cleansing. Shower gels contain very strong cleansing agents that will strip your skin and dry it out. The same goes for most soaps on the market, which have a basic pH and are overly aggressive.
Sensitive Shea Butter Soap is composed of vegetable oils and glycerine. It gently cleanses the skin, leaving it soft and nourished. Once your skin has been washed and dried, we recommend you apply theBody Sunshine oil. Made from cold-pressed plant oils, it nourishes your skin deep down, leaving a light glow. It penetrates as quickly as a lotion, leaving your skin feeling comfortable and ready to get dressed quickly afterwards.
