Skin Quality
Dry Skin
Hydrated, comfortable skin with a healthy glow.
What it is
Dry skin feels tight, rough or flaky and can look dull. Sometimes the skin makes too little oil (dry skin); other times it lacks water (dehydrated skin), which can happen even in oily skin.
Hydrating treatments give an immediate boost, and the right home routine helps repair the skin's barrier so it holds on to moisture.
Common causes
- A weakened skin barrier
- Harsh cleansers or over-exfoliating
- Air conditioning and sun
- Age and hormonal changes
- Some medications and skin conditions
Areas
- Cheeks
- Around the eyes
- Around the mouth
- Hands and body
Treatments that can help
How we plan it
We look at whether your skin is dry, dehydrated or both, and what in your routine may be making it worse. Facials help right away; a barrier-friendly routine does the long-term work.
Persistent dryness, itching or rash may be a skin condition, and we'll recommend medical care if needed.
Skin care at home
Gentle cleansers and barrier-repairing moisturizers make the biggest difference for dry skin.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin produces less oil; dehydrated skin lacks water. Dehydration can happen in any skin type, even oily skin.
How often should I get a hydrating facial?
Many people come monthly. We'll suggest a rhythm that fits your skin.
Can I exfoliate dry skin?
Yes, gently and not too often. Over-exfoliating can make dryness worse.
Does drinking water help?
It's good for your health, but skin hydration depends mostly on your barrier and the products you use.
