Last week we discussed the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, and suggested how you can remedy the problem pronto. This week we're going to share some of our favorite skin care ingredients for dry and dehydrated conditions so you know what to look out for in your skin care!
As mentioned last week, dry skin needs rich and emollient ingredients. Remember, dry skin lacks oil and oil is what protects the skin. It also causes our skin to stay smooth and lubricated, alleviating flakiness and tightness. Thus, for this skin type you need to look for more emollient-based ingredients in your cleansers, serums and moisturizers.
Ingredients for dry skin:
Dehydrated skin can have the same symptoms as dry skin, but it is a skin condition that happens as a result of a lack of water. This lack of water may be causing your skin to overproduce oil to compensate and is why you can experience breakouts or oily and flaky skin at the same time. Because your skin is still able to produce oil more frequently, unlike dry skin, you don't want to incorporate as rich of creams or oil-based products on your face. Instead you need more water-based ingredients that will hydrate your skin.
Ingredients for dehydrated skin:

Hello. I’m using a night cream by OLAY. It’s an Age Defying Anti-Wrinkle cream. At first I noticed that my skin was looking very good but then later on I started noticing bumps under my eyes. And the dark spots that I had on the side of my cheeks is once again visible. I noticed in the ingredients that it does not have an ingredient called Hyloromic Acid. I need a possible morning and night time serum that will help my skin look younger and feeling tight like it use to be when I was in High School. I hope you can help me.
