Every skin type gets dehydrated, particularly in the winter season. Although you should moisturize it regularly, it is essential to know when your skin has lost its hydration so that you can timely moisturize it.
Dehydrated skin is different from naturally dry skin. Skin is dry because it naturally has fewer skin oils. On the other hand, skin gets dehydrated because it has lost its moisture. A dehydrated skin presents with uneven patches of complexion with dry and itchy skin. This can be because of any reason that results in your dehydrated body, as it can be because you drink less water or you are losing it by sweating.
To find out that you have dehydrated skin, look out for symptoms like:
- Itching
- Dull skin
- Flaky skin
- Sunken eyes
- Prominent dark circles
- Noticeable fine lines
If your dehydration is severe, it might be coupled with dizziness, dry mouth, and weakness. The best way to differentiate between dry and dehydrated skin is to pinch a small area of your skin. If pinching results in increased and wrinkled skin, then it is dehydration. Luckily you can easily treat dehydrated skin by drinking plenty of water and applying hydrating products.
