4 Why does skin become dehydrated?
More or less inevitable, there are a number of causes of dehydration:
- Climatic factors such as a dry atmosphere (altitude, air-conditioning);
- The use of unsuitable cleansing products, or daily cleansing with soap and water.
- Taking certain medicines (vitamin A acid for example);
- Exposure to the sun;
- Certain genetic anomalies, such as ichthyosis, which looks like “crocodile skin”;
- And above all, age.
5 Are the hydration needs of the skin always the same?
NO, they vary according to several factors:
- The level of humidity in the atmosphere: for this reason you can feel tightening in the skin in an air-conditioned room,
- Your skin type: oily skin, naturally rich in sebum, will have less dehydration problems than dry skin, because the hydrolipidic film of the surface of dry skin is often deficient.
- Skin aging is the most important factor in dehydration. Over the years, the skin becomes increasingly less hydrated from inside. |
