What Is The Difference Between Dry and Dehydrated Skin?
Get in touch with us
The weather might be dull and dry but your skin doesn’t have to be. By understanding the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, reviving your skin’s lost glow and firmness is just a treatment away!
Commonly mistaken as the same, dry and dehydrated skin share the same signs and symptoms of skin that is:
- Itchy
- Flaky
- Dull
- Tight
- Rough
- Feels Dry
Dry skin occurs when there is a lack of natural oils in the skin sebum whereas dehydrated skin is a result of an inadequate amount of water.
What causes skin dryness?
Skin dryness is caused by a variety of factors:
Taking long hot showers
The joys of taking long hot showers bring distress to your skin, literally. The combined pressure and heat of a steady stream of hot water hitting your decolletage area results in stripping away important skin cells that protect the skin from moisture loss.
Weather
During the cooler months, humidity levels drop and time spent indoors rises meaning an increase in exposure to indoor air-conditioning systems, resulting in dry, lacklustre skin.
Prolonged exposure to the Sun
Prolonged exposure to the Sun strips the skin of its natural oils
Age
Due to the natural ageing process, your pores naturally product less oil. Over time, collagen and elastin degrades as well as the decline of cellular renewal. This causes our skin to become thinner and dryness becomes prominent as your barrier lipids are not as pronounced.
Allergies
Skin products with harsh chemicals or even fragrances.
What causes skin dehydration?
Lack of essential fatty acids in diet
Omega 3 rich foods such as flax, safflower oil and salmon can give your skin an essential fatty acid boost.
Inadequate water intake
As hydration begins from within, water intake is essential in maintaining the skin’s health
Incorrect skincare
We’ve all been there: picked a cleanser that was too drying or a moisturiser that just didn’t deliver. Incorrect skincare can leave you and your skin more stressed than necessary
Weather
Spending more time indoors leaves your skin exposed to indoor heating and cooling system. By investing in a humidifier, you can increase the moisture levels.
What treatments can help with dry and dehydrated skin?
Avoiding the causes of dry and dehydrated skin seem almost impossible however, with skin treatments, your journey to skin rejuvenation is closer than you think with:
Micro Oxygen Infusion works by deeply exfoliating congested pores using a diamond tipped wand. A serum rich in antioxidants is infused into the skin for instant hydration, smooths texture and restores your natural glow.
Photorejuvenation Peel + LED Light Therapy works by applying a safe chemical solution to the face to remove dead skin cells and decongest pores. By regenerating new skin cells – the ability to retain moisture in the skin is heightened. The healing properties of LED Light Therapy immediately after the Chemical Peel stimulates collagen and elastin to prevent further dryness.

The last thing anyone wants to do after spending most of their week indoors is to stay in the weekend just because their skin is looking dry and lacklustre. By understanding what causes skin dryness and what treatment solutions there are to combat this – we can revive that glow from within![vc_single_image image=”16246″ img_size=”500×500″]What is dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin can appear flakey, feels rough, tight, textured and sometimes be red or itchy. Dehydrated skin is a lack of water in the top layer.
What causes skin dryness?
Skin dryness is caused by a variety of factors:
- Prolonged exposure to the Sun
Love the warmth but not the damage? It’s known that the Sun dries out and reduces the skin’s natural oil levels. This leaves your complexion looking dry, flaky and prematurely aged. It is important to wear apply sunscreen with a high SPF such as our Results Active Protect SPF 50+. It’s lightweight and non greasy formula is great for everyday wear.
- Weather
During the cooler months, humidity levels drop and time spent indoors rises meaning an increase in exposure to indoor air-conditioning systems, resulting in dryness. To restore lost moisture, our best seller Medik8 Hydr8 B5 is packed with Vitamin B5 to prolong hydration and promoting skin regeneration.
- Age
As we age, your pores produce less oil which naturally results in dryness. Living hard and fast in your 20s exposes us to excessive lifestyles, less sleep, prolonged sun exposure and environmental pollutants. This affects your skin’s structural integrity. As we age, the protective barrier of lipids in the skin lessens – resulting in the reduced ability to retain moisture.
- Taking long hot showers
One of the joys of Winter is being able to take long hot showers. BUT did you know that your daily hot shower isn’t so friendly after all? Hot water strips the body’s skin of it’s natural oils, resulting in dryness.
- Allergies
Certain cleansers, soaps or detergents can trigger allergic reactions, leaving your skin dry and irritated. By avoiding harsh chemicals and ingredients, you can reduce your chances of experiencing irritation.[vc_single_image image=”16249″ img_size=”500×500″]Common misconceptions: dry skin’s friend or foe?
It doesn’t just stop at moisturising
It seems obvious that in order to hydrate your skin, we commonly add a moisturiser on top? However, hydration starts from within and misusing moisturisers is more common than you think, so don’t worry! Drinking plenty of water can assist with restoring lost moisture in the top layer of the skin.
Over-exfoliating can cause more harm than good
Dry skin often results in flakiness and whilst over-exfoliation seems like the solution in returning your skin to its former glory, it can actually do more harm than good. Over-exfoliating can result in your skin’s natural oils to be stripped, leading to further dryness and possibility of irritation – which is not what anyone wants !
Whilst there are many causes of skin dryness, there are also many types of treatments such as Microdermabrasion and Oxygen Infusion Therapy that can recover your skin’s radiance from within.
Step 1
We begin with a double cleanse to remove makeup and impurities.
Step 2
Using the MediPro diamond-tipped wand, we effectively decongest pores and the build of dead skin cells in your pores
Step 3
Now that you are left with a fresh and flawless base – a serum rich in antioxidants is infused into the face to restore lost hydration and plumpness.
