Signs of dehydrated skin

So what are the tell-tale signs of skin dehydration? If you experience some or all of the following, your poor skin is crying out for moisture!

Areas of flaky skin

Patches of sensitive areas that are blotchy or become reddened easily

Skin tightness or discomfort

Dull complexion

Difficulty in blending or putting on makeup

Flare up of adult acne

Oily skins beware of dehydration

It is possible for oily skin to be dehydrated. In fact, there are so many women with oily complexion who mistakenly believe that moisturizing products are acne-causing, that they completely neglect the moisturizing step of skin care.

In fact, because women with dry skin tend to moisturize religiously, it is little wonder that dehydration is sometimes more serious in individuals with oily skin than those with dry skin. Skin dehydration may sometimes trigger excessive sebum production, resulting in an even oilier complexion, or even adult acne. That's why it's important not to skip your moisturizer even if you have oily skin type.
