Dehydrated Skin: Causes, Symptoms, and Ways to Prevent it 

What is Dehydrated Skin?

Dehydrated skin occurs when a person loses more water than they retain. When your body’s water levels decrease, it becomes dehydrated, affecting not only the skin but other organs as well. Dehydrated skin is often confused with dry skin, but they are different in terms of causes.

Dry skin occurs when your skin can’t produce enough natural oils, while dehydrated skin happens when you reduce the intake of water and fluids.

What Are the Causes of Dehydrated Skin?

• External elements like temperature and humidity
• Excessive intake of alcohol, coffee, and smoking
• Frequent hot showers
• Staying in an air-conditioned environment for long hours
• Following an improper skincare routine or using the wrong skincare products

What Are the Symptoms of Dehydrated Skin?

The effects of dehydration on your skin can be identified by the following symptoms:

• Dullness
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Increased sensitivity

Tips for Dehydrated Skin

• Drink lots of water: Drinking water is the ultimate solution for dehydrated skin. The human body is made of 55-65% water, and replenishing the water levels is necessary for proper function.
• Eat fruits and vegetables: Include water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumber, broccoli, oranges, spinach, and carrots to keep your skin soft and supple.
• Avoid coffee and alcohol: Caffeine and alcohol deplete water levels in the body. Limit these substances for healthy, hydrated skin.
• Get a humidifier: Avoid long periods in air-conditioned environments and use a humidifier to add moisture to the air, preventing dryness.
• Don’t use hot water: Hot showers strip away natural oils. Use lukewarm water to protect your skin and maintain hydration.

How to Choose the Right Products for Dehydrated Skin?

If you are suffering from dehydrated skin, try incorporating Hyaluronic acid into your skincare regimen. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your body and is the primary component that gives your skin its structure and ensures a plump, hydrated look. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. As a humectant, hyaluronic acid binds water molecules to the surface of the skin, helping to keep it hydrated.

To increase the water level in your skin, focus on drinking water, eating water-rich foods, and using hyaluronic acid-infused products for dehydrated skin.
