Hello! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever asked yourself \u2018is my skin dry, dehydrated or both?\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skincare is confusing and it\u2019s hard to work out exactly where you stand! So, which are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dehydrated skin <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dehydration is a skin condition that can come and go.  Essentially, dehydrated skin is thirsty! <\/em>It hasn\u2019t got enough water to heal and generally look after itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dehydrated skin looks dull <\/strong>and tired<\/strong>. It has a loss of elasticity<\/strong>, plus lines,  wrinkles and dark circles<\/strong> appear more prominent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry skin is a skin type that doesn\u2019t hold as much of that all-important oil and sebum as it needs. Skin can feel tight <\/strong>and rough. It could also be flaky, red <\/strong>or irritated<\/strong>. Folks with dry skin are often more likely to have conditions like eczema too.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re going through menopause or perimenopause <\/em>dry skin may have become an irritating friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can have both dry and dehydrated skin!<\/em><\/strong>  <\/em>If you have both, look after the dehydration first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a quick two-minute test you can do to check if your skin is dehydrated <\/p>\n\n\n\n
