Is It Possible To Have Both Dehydrated and Oily Skin? 1

home or bedroom. Sun exposure – Sun damage can disrupt your skin and compromise its protective layer. Think of that tight feeling your skin has after a day in the sun. Make sure to always wear your daily SPF and keep skin moisturized if you’ve been out soaking up some rays! Age – As we get older, hormone changes cause our skin to lose the ability to produce as much oil and tends to dry out. Diet – Not eating a well-balanced diet and indulging in too many caffeinated drinks or after work cocktails is not the best for your skin, You can nourish skin from the inside by eating lots of vitamin-rich foods with a high moisture content (hello fruits and veggies!) and, of course, by drinking plenty of water. Unfortunately, your skin is the last part of your body to receive hydration from water, so it’s important to provide hydration from the outside as well! My Top Tips and Picks for Treating Dehydrated Skin When treating dehydrated skin, your goal is to retain moisture. You want to deliver hydration and seal it in. Consider adding a serum to your skincare routine, which typically contains a higher concentration of ingredients to deliver hydration to your skin’s deeper layers. Follow it up with a good moisturizer to keep all that wonderful hydration from leaving skin. If you have oily skin, you might think that you have enough natural moisture already. But remember, while your skin might have enough oil, it may be lacking in water, so it’s good to replenish skin’s hydration. And if it senses it doesn’t have enough hydration, it will produce more oil. Look for a moisturizer formulated for oily skin (preferably oil-free) to restore hydration and balance. Pro tip: Never leave skin bare. As soon as you’re done showering or cleansing your face, don’t wait to apply your serum and moisturizer to really lock in skin’s moisture. Here are some of my favorite formulas to bring skin a much-needed dose of hydration!
