Concern
Dry or Dehydrated Skin
Dry or dehydrated skin can look dull, feel tight and show fine lines more readily. Dehydration is a lack of water in the skin and can affect any skin type, even oily skin.
We focus on restoring hydration and barrier health for a smoother, plumper and more radiant complexion.
Causes
What Causes Dry or Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydration can be triggered by weather, central heating, over-cleansing, harsh products and a compromised skin barrier. Dry skin types also naturally produce less oil.

Harsh or frequent cleansing can strip the skin and worsen dehydration.
Choose treatments that hydrate deeply
