How do I recognise dehydrated skin?

"The face is exposed to too many external stimuli, which disrupts the structure of the skin and causes dehydration. Do you have a dull complexion, fine lines, skin that peels in places? Feelings of discomfort, tightness and lack of flexibility? No doubt about it, your skin is well and truly dehydrated.

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin? 

Be careful not to confuse dehydrated skin, which is temporary, with dry skin, which is a skin type (the one that stays the same your whole life). For example, you can have dry or combination skin and still experience the symptoms of dehydrated skin."

Causes of dehydrated facial skin

Why is my facial skin so easily dehydrated? What causes and increases water loss from the skin?

Water inevitably escapes our bodies and our hydration level gradually decreases with age. We therefore experience a natural daily loss of water (and over the years). However, external factors such as temperature variations, humidity, pollution, fatigue or poor hygiene could increase water loss. We then need to give them a little boost by providing them with protective and ultra-moisturising care!

All about hyaluronic acid, a plumping active ingredient and dehydrated skin’s best friend

You've likely already heard of it: hyaluronic acid is a star active ingredient in skin hydration, and it is full of benefits for the face.

It’s a powerful hydration booster: a natural water reservoir, it is capable of retaining 1000 times its weight in water and diffusing it inside the skin. It helps to retain water on the skin's surface through its film-forming properties, thus reducing natural water loss. Soft, revived and plumped up skin guaranteed! It also provides anti-ageing properties for your face. At Klorane, the hyaluronic acid we use is plant-based. It’s made from wheat grains and lactic acid bacteria and obtained through a natural process, fermentation.

Our experts answer you

Dry skin is a skin type (which never changes) whereas dehydrated skin is temporary. We recommend that you choose a skincare routine that is both moisturising and right for your skin type.

By taking the right steps to protect the skin from external factors and by focusing on daily moisturising from the inside as well as the outside.

A moisturising treatment will meet the skin's water needs, whereas a nourishing treatment will provide lipids such as ceramides. It is essential to know your needs so that you can choose the right products for you!

Yes, it can be of animal or plant origin. At Klorane, we have selected a plant-based hyaluronic acid extracted from wheat.
