How do you know if your skin needs hydration?

Is your skin in dire need of hydration? Rough patches, enlarged pores and fine lines could be signs of dehydration. You may also experience itchiness, dullness or redness on drier parts of the face, which means your skin is dehydrated and needs a deep drink of water.

Using a hydrating facial moisturiser should nourish your complexion and protect the outer layer of your skin from moisture loss, giving you softer and smoother skin. This is also an important skincare step to prevent the formation of premature fine lines and wrinkles.

Moisturising vs Hydrating: What’s the difference?

Before shopping for facial moisturisers, it’s essential to draw the line between moisture and hydration. Similarly, you’ll need to understand the differences between dry and dehydrated skin, because they’re not the same.

Moisturising implies locking in moisture to strengthen your skin’s protective barrier, while hydrating refers to enabling your skin to receive moisture and infusing your skin cells with water to enhance its ability to absorb moisture and nutrients.

Dry skin is a skin type, such as oily or combination skin. People with dry skin have a lack of oils, so they’ll need moisturisers with more plant-based oils to seal in moisture. However, dehydrated skin can happen to anyone, including those with oily or combination skin. So if you have dehydrated skin, you’ll need hydrating moisturising creams with quenching benefits to replenish hydration and remain supple.
