Dehydration or dry skin: how to tell the difference?

Tightness, discomfort, lack of radiance…

These sensations are common, but their origin can be different.

Understanding the distinction between dehydration and dryness allows you to adopt a more accurate and effective routine.

Dehydration: a skin condition (lack of water)

Dehydration corresponds to a lack of water in the skin.

It is a temporary condition , which can affect all skin types , including combination or oily skin.

Common signs:

  • sensations of pulling,
  • loss of comfort
  • complexion less fresh, less radiant
  • skin that looks “thirsty”.

Dehydration is often linked to the environment (heating, air conditioning, cold), cleaning, or an unsuitable routine.

Dryness: a skin type (lack of lipids)

Dry skin is a skin type .

It is characterized by a lack of lipids , which are essential for skin comfort and suppleness.

Common signs:

  • lasting discomfort,
  • sensation of rough or less supple skin
  • persistent dry areas,
  • skin that marks more easily.

Dry skin can also be dehydrated, but the reverse is not always true.

Mini self-diagnostic

You are more likely to be affected by dehydration if:

  • Your skin feels tight after cleansing.
  • It lacks brilliance.
  • It can shine in places while remaining uncomfortable.

You are more likely to be affected by the drought if:

  • The discomfort is constant.
  • The skin lacks elasticity.
  • Dry areas persist despite hydration.
