Dehydrated skin loses its inherent protective functions. In this state, the skin cannot be called smooth and elastic - it becomes pockmarked and unpleasant to the touch.

Why does skin become dehydrated?

The condition of the skin is influenced by a variety of factors, of which we have identified two main ones.

Firstly, dehydrated skin can be caused by genetic factors or a malfunction in the body, which, for example, could be caused by stress or poor nutrition.

Secondly, the skin can dry out due to external factors – temperature changes, wind, etc.

The same “signal” is the feeling of tightness of the skin, its dullness and loss of elasticity.

To check the condition of your skin, do a simple test.

Lightly pinch your cheek and hold for a few seconds. If after such a “manipulation” the skin quickly returns to its original state, then everything is fine.

If this takes about a minute, then you need to start moisturizing the skin.
