Dry/Dehydrated Skin

The terms' dry' and 'dehydrated' actually mean two very different things when we start talking skincare?

While different, dry and dehydrated skin is not mutually exclusive. Dry skin is how we classify skin that lacks sebum (the oil produced naturally by our skin). Whereas dehydrated skin is a condition characterised by a lack of moisturise in the skin. Regardless of your skin type, be it oily, dry, normal, or combination, all skin types can experience dehydration.
