A dermatologist explains the difference between “dry skin” and “dehydrated skin! The difference between “dry skin” and “dehydrated skin

According to Women’s Health on September 21, when it comes to skin conditions, there may be no two terms more complicated to interpret than “dry” and “dehydrated. That’s because the line between the two terms is very blurry. While “dry” and “dehydrated” skin share similar characteristics, they have different underlying causes. To complicate matters further, it is possible to have dry and dehydrated skin at the same time. It is natural to be confused. But understanding the difference between the two could make a big difference to your future beauty routine. That’s why Women’s Health UK asked London-based dermatologist Dr. Christina Somadakis to learn more about the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and how to care for each.

What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
First of all, the terms “dry skin” and “dehydrated skin” are sometimes used interchangeably, as is the term “xerosis” in reference books. in reference books can also mean both,” says Dr. Somadakis. But “in the beauty industry, dry skin refers to a skin type that lacks lipids to moisturize the skin, while dehydrated skin describes a temporary skin condition and refers to a lack of moisture or dehydration in the skin,” Dr. Somadakis continues. In reality, however, there is a lot of overlap between the two terms, and people who are prone to dry skin are probably deficient in both lipids and moisture,” Dr. Somadakis said.

How to tell the difference between “dry” and “dehydrated” skin
It is important to understand that both dry and dehydrated skin share similar characteristics. Dry skin (also known as xeroderma) is dry to the touch and may appear scaly, tight, and itchy. This can be a symptom of some people who have this skin characteristic from the start, or it can be a symptom of certain skin conditions such as eczema or ichthyosis,” Dr. Somadakis said. Other characteristics of dry skin include small pores, skin that does not appear plump, and a susceptibility to irritation. When skin is dehydrated, it may feel oily to the touch, but at the same time it may appear dull and flaky.” The most obvious reason is that dehydrated skin tends to absorb all the moisture in a product, The most obvious reason is that dehydrated skin tends to absorb all the water in the product, making the liquid foundation uneven and blotchy. To test for dehydration, we do a pinch test. If the skin is dehydrated, pinch the skin on the forearm, and it will take time for the skin to return to its normal state,” Dr. Somadakis said.
