What Is Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydrated skin can feel tight, dull or lacking in plumpness and may become more noticeable after cleansing, during colder weather or when the routine does not provide enough hydration.
Unlike dry skin, dehydration can be temporary and can occur even when the skin still produces plenty of oil.

Dehydrated Skin vs Dry Skin
Dehydrated skin is lacking water, while dry skin is naturally lower in oil.
This means oily or combination skin can still become dehydrated. If your skin is consistently rough or flaky, explore Dry Skin. If it feels temporarily tight, thirsty or dull, this Dehydrated Skin collection is the better place to begin.
