Do I Have Dry Skin or Dehydrated Skin?

You guys might have wondered, “What’s the difference? Is that the same skin condition, isn’t it?”

Nope, that’s totally misunderstanding.

“So, what’s the different?”

Whoa, slow down... I will share with you all the whole information (as far as I know) about ‘Dry Skin and Dehydrated Skin’.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRY AND DEHYDRATED SKIN?

Dry skin is a skin type that has a fewer oil producing glands on the skin. While, on the other hand, dehydrated skin is skin condition anyone can experience. 

Dermatologist Dr Ariel Haus (January 2017) explained that dry skin has a lack of oil, or lipids. But dehydrated skin, there’s a lack of water in the stratum corneum, which is the top layer of the skin. He also added that someone doesn’t need to have dry skin to have dehydrated skin. Oily and combination skin can be dehydrated as well.

HOW CAN I KNOW WHICH SKIN CONDITION DO I HAVE?

Well, here’s a quick run-down of the key characteristic:

Dry skin characteristics:
  •         Feels Rough
  •         Appears Dry
  •         Can be itchy and flaky

Dehydrated Skin Characteristics:
  •        Easy to get breakout
  •        Easy to get redness
  •        Feels tight and rough
  •        Shows fine line


CAUSES OF DEHYDRATED SKIN

      SUN
Sunlight is the main role of this ‘dehydrated skin’ drama. As we know, UVA is not giving benefits to our skin. Dr Haus said that UVA can increase the aging process which leads to wrinkles and damaged skin. BIG NO for UVA.

HOT SHOWERS
Please, guys, don’t too often to wash your face with hot water. It’s not good. Hot water can rid your sebum even the needs one.

      THE WRONG SKINCARE
If you’re using products that are too harsh, too gentle and you’re using it infrequently or without any instruction… it can lead you to dehydrated skin. And, don’t ever combine some harsh ingredients at the same time. It can be a great recipe for disaster!
DON’T combine these ingredients:
  •           Retinoid/Retinol + Vitamin C
  •           Vitamin C + AHA/BHA
  •           AHA/BHA + Retinol
  •           Oil-Based + Water-Based
  •           Niacinamide + Vitamin C
  •           Glycolic Acid + Salicylic Acid

“Why I can’t combine them up?”

Guys, trust me. You should not. That’s too harsh. I will explain it someday, okay? But I don't promise haha.

I THINK HAVE DEHYDRATED SKIN, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

1.       USE SUNSCREEN
I warn you multiply times, use SUNSCREEN. That’s the hero of this drama. You must wear it all day (not night). Using SPF 30 is enough for use. Note, you have to use it frequently and consistently. If you have oily skin type, try to use WATER-BASED sunscreen without alcohol. Btw, this is my favorite one.

2.       USE SOME HYDRATED PRODUCTS
It’s a MOISTURIZER product. Please use it every second in your life! I know it’s too overreacting, but it’s true. Our skin has to be settle and moist every second to decrease dehydrated condition. Use Hyaluronic Acid products to keep water in the skin. I use this hydrating toner and moisturizer.

3.       DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
      You already know the reason, right?

4.       HAVE A GOOD DIET
It means, please have good food. Avoid junk food and eat more vegetables and fruit are the best way to have a good diet.

So, that’s all for my post today. One more thing, all of the products that I use, may not suitable for everyone. Remember, always be wise in choosing products for your skin.
Bye!




Big Hug,
Ica

    An informative post. Keep writing good topics.

    Narrating your ideas in the form paragraphs (not list of points) would make it better.

Dear Mr. Minister of Education, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. First of all, I would like to say congratulation on your inauguration, sir. I hope that you can lead Indonesia's education in a better way. Sir, I would like to say some words to you. I hope you kindly read it sometime, sir. As you know sir, as the increasing number of population in Indonesia, it makes job vacancies more difficult to get. Moreover, we have entered the era of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). This situation can make Indonesian young people harder in getting decent jobs. To get a decent job, we need some special skills. There is one crucial factor that is forgotten by young Indonesians, it is communication. Communication is a media to convey and accept ideas or opinions either verbally or nonverbally. Communication skills have a huge impact on someone's work performance. As globalization develops, the use of English is increasingly crucial. For that, English language...
