Maintain your skin\u2019s radiance, suppleness and comfort every day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Tightness after a shower, a dull complexion, a feeling of discomfort or the appearance of fine lines around the eyes: these signs are common and can affect all skin types, at any age.<\/p>\n\n

The skin is much more than just a protective covering. As a natural barrier between our bodies and the outside world, it protects us from environmental stressors, helps regulate body temperature and plays a vital role in our appearance. <\/p>\n\n

To carry out these functions properly, it needs one essential element: water.<\/p>\n\n

Properly moisturised skin generally looks more radiant, supple and comfortable. Conversely, when it lacks moisture, it can become more sensitive and rough, and gradually lose its natural radiance. <\/p>\n\n

Contrary to popular belief, skin hydration does not depend solely on the skincare products applied to the skin\u2019s surface. Diet, daily fluid intake, lifestyle and certain nutrients also play an important role. <\/p>\n\n

In this comprehensive guide, find out how to recognise the signs of dehydrated skin, understand what causes it, and adopt the right habits to maintain its natural balance in the long term.<\/p>\n\n

Dry skin or dehydrated skin: what\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

These two terms are often used as synonyms, even though they refer to different situations.<\/p>\n\n

Dry skin is a skin type characterised by insufficient production of lipids, particularly sebum. This condition is generally linked to genetics and is observed throughout a person\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n

Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is caused by a lack of water. It is a temporary condition that can affect all skin types, including combination or oily skin. <\/p>\n\n

A person can therefore have oily but dehydrated skin.<\/p>\n\n

This distinction is important because the solutions to be implemented are not exactly the same.<\/p>\n\n

What are the signs of dehydrated skin?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

More noticeable fine lines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Fine lines caused by dehydration often appear around the eyes or lips. They are generally finer than wrinkles caused by skin ageing. <\/p>\n\n

A tight, pulling sensation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

After washing your face or having a shower, your skin may feel uncomfortable and lack suppleness.<\/p>\n\n

A dull complexion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

When the skin is dehydrated, its natural renewal process can be disrupted. The complexion then appears less even and less radiant. <\/p>\n\n

A loss of elasticity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Well-hydrated skin retains its plump appearance better. If it is dehydrated, it may appear thinner and less supple. <\/p>\n\n

An uneven texture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Certain areas of the face can sometimes feel rougher or grainier to the touch.<\/p>\n\n

Why does the skin become dehydrated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The skin naturally has a hydrolipidic film that acts as a protective shield.<\/p>\n\n

When this barrier is compromised, water evaporates more quickly. This phenomenon is known as insensible water loss. <\/p>\n\n

Several factors can contribute to this dehydration:<\/p>\n\n
