Dry skin or dehydrated skin?
Dry skin naturally produces less oil and may feel rough, flaky or uncomfortable. Dehydrated skin lacks water and can affect dry, combination or oily skin types. Dehydrated skin may feel tight while still becoming shiny during the day.
Building a hydrating skincare routine
Apply a hydrating serum after cleansing, then follow with a moisturiser chosen for your preferred texture. Lightweight gel creams can suit dehydration, while richer creams may feel more comfortable on persistently dry skin.
Avoid stacking several exfoliating products when skin already feels tight. A consistent cleanser, serum, moisturiser and morning SPF routine is a better starting point.
