Dehydrated Skin

Dehydration is a condition rather than a type, and any skin can have it, including oily skin. It looks dull, feels tight, and fine lines appear more pronounced than they should.

The cause is usually water loss through a compromised barrier rather than a lack of drinking water. Humectants draw water in and something occlusive over the top keeps it there. Unlike dry skin, dehydrated skin can be resolved.
