Tips to restore your skin’s moisture and limit the signs of aging

With the onset of the cooler weather, have you noticed that your skin is feeling drier, tighter or rougher? Maybe it’s dehydrated! If you’re not sure how to detect a lack of moisture in your skin or you’d like to learn how to hydrate it well, then this is the article for you. Today, we’ll explain what dehydration is, how it affects your skin and, best of all, how to minimize its appearance!

Detection is the best prevention

Has your skin been looking more opaque, sad and dull recently? Does it feel less soft, flexible and smooth? Are any lines or wrinkles you may have more visible lately? A lack of moisture manifests itself in all these ways. But we’ve got good news for you: dehydration is only a temporary state of affairs and there is a solution!

The dehydration test that never fails

Are you unsure whether your skin is dehydrated or not? Do this simple test: raise your eyebrows while looking at yourself in the mirror. See how soft lines form on your skin? Now relax your muscles again. If these lines are still visible and your skin doesn’t go back to its initial state, we can confirm that you do indeed need hydration. So keep reading!

Why does your skin dehydrate?

The outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, is made up of between 10-12% water, as well as keratin, lipids and other components. This first protective barrier needs this liquid in order to stay in tip-top condition. When there is a severe lack of water, the cutis becomes more sensitive, delicate and vulnerable to external aggressions. In the long run this will affect its appearance.

External factors such as cold or heat mean that in the winter and summer months the level of humidity in the atmosphere drops, causing the skin to be more dehydrated. This in turn means it is slower to renew itself and looks duller, more lifeless, rougher and older. Likewise, the skin becomes more delicate and fragile with age because it loses collagen and other elements from the extracellular matrix, including hyaluronic acid, which helps to retain water.

Take note! Dry skin is not to be confused with dehydrated skin

Mistaking dehydration for dryness is a very common misconception. Dehydrated skin can sometimes be dry and vice versa, but they are different concepts. As you now know, dehydrated skin translates into a loss or lack of water whereas having dry skin means that your protective skin barrier is short on both water and lipids. Moreover, dehydrated skin is considered a temporary situation for the dermis whereas dry skin is a skin condition, in other words, it lasts for a long time.
