Dryness & Dehydration
Dryness & dehydration might sound similar, but they stem from different issues: dry skin lacks oil, whereas dehydrated skin lacks water.
Each comes with its own set of challenges: dry skin often feels flaky and rough, while dehydrated skin might look dull and lack lustre showing signs like dry, cracked lips. Sometimes, you can experience both simultaneously—double the fun!
Our expert advice and extensive range of professional-grade skincare and advanced treatments available at top clinics, ensures you have the support to enjoy happy, healthy skin all year round.
What causes Dryness & Dehydration?
Dry skin is a skin type like oily, combination or sensitive. It can result from hormones, genetics or even ageing. Basically it just means that your skin doesn’t produce enough oil. Overuse of skin treatments that strip the skin of natural oils, such as high concentrations of retinol or aggressive exfoliation can also contribute to dryness.
Rather than lacking oil, dehydrated skin lacks water – which is vital for juicy, plump skin. This can occur for several reasons; seasonal changes, spending a little too long in the sun, hot showers or harsh products and is more likely to be temporary.
Prevention and care.
You can look after dry skin by incorporating oil-rich skincare into your routine, and avoiding anything too harsh or stripping. While dry skin wants oil, dehydrated skin wants water. Since your skin is thirsty, the obvious step is to increase your water intake (reminder to pause reading and take a sip!). You’ll also want to incorporate ingredients into your skin regime like hyaluronic acid – to provide that vital hydration back into the skin.
Professional peels and LED light therapy are excellent for boosting collagen and strengthening the skin’s barrier, crucial for maintaining hydration in the skin.

Supplements like Krill Oil, collagen blends, and ceramides can also enhance your skin’s hydration levels and overall appearance.
Unlike dehydrated skin (which we’ll get to later), dry skin is a skin type – meaning, you may have experienced dryness your whole life. It’s defined by minimal to zero oil or sebum production in the skin and can be a result of ageing, hormonal changes and genetics.
If your skin feels rough, appears flaky, or is prone to redness, it’s likely dry. If it lacks radiance, shows signs of premature ageing like fine lines, or feels tight even when adequately moisturised, it may be dehydrated. A skin professional can provide a thorough analysis and help you determine the specific needs of your skin.
Dehydrated skin is a skin condition that occurs when there’s a lack of water in the skin. This can happen to anyone, regardless of skin type — people with oily or combination skin can still experience dehydration.
For this reason, the skin can be combination, oily or normal and, at the same time, also dehydrated. Dehydrated skin often causes excessive sebum production to compensate for the lack of hydration in the skin, which is why dehydrated skin can easily be mistaken for oily skin
Yes, skin clinics offer specialised treatments for dry and dehydrated skin. These include hydrating peels like the O COSMEDICS Pro Dermal Planning Oxygenating Enzyme Peel, which helps remove dead skin cells and improve moisture retention. LED light therapy is also beneficial as it boosts collagen production and enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
