Dehydrated skin
It occurs when the protective barrier of your skin is disrupted. As a result, moisture can no longer be properly bound, and your skin appears rough and dry. This can be caused by environmental influences such as exposure to the sun or cold, but washing too often can also lead to dehydration.

OUR TIPS FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN
1
Ensure your skin has sufficient moisture
When you are dehydrated, you reach for water – for dehydrated skin, the remedy of choice is hyaluronic acid. It binds water best on damp skin. After cleansing, it is better to just pat the face dry instead of drying it completely, and then apply the appropriate moisturiser.
2
Cleanse gently and consciously
Dry, flaky skin cells should never be treated with an overly aggressive peel. Instead of ridding the skin of the old, nourish it with a mild moisturiser that helps to strengthen the skin barrier.
3
Be mindful of external influences
Whether artificially heated or ventilated, dehydrated skin is often a result of insufficient air humidity. To counteract this, regular airing in summer can help. In winter, the best way to counteract dry air from heating systems is with a humidifier.
YOUR SOLUTION: MOISTURE
How to care for dehydrated skin
First things first: Dehydrated skin is a skin state and can occur in all skin types. So it's better to be safe than sorry and have the skin state professionally assessed in addition to your skin type. The skin barrier, which has been completely or partially damaged, is always to blame for dehydration of the skin and must be rebuilt. The triggers for this can be external influences, hormonal fluctuations or an unbalanced diet. Try to avoid sugary products in the future and always make sure to drink enough water. However, the best way to combat dehydrated skin is with regular, generous moisturising. A skin care product that contains sufficient hyaluronic acid is particularly suitable for comprehensive skin care.
