Everything you need to know about hydration

Drinking enough water is crucial to maintaining your body’s well being. 

We've all heard it: Our bodies are made of up to 70% water which makes it essential to the good function of our cells. Drinking enough water will, amongst other things, help to flush toxins, hydrate, normalize blood pressure as well as protect the organs. Skin is the largest organ of our body, however, water will hydrate all the other organs before it reaches the skin. In other words, the epidermis will need a little hydration boost to quench the thirst.  

Don’t get us wrong, drinking water is essential to the skin. It will greatly improve its elasticity, flush toxins, achieve a radiant glow and prevent any excess oil. Our epidermis needs water in order to stay healthy, toxin-free and hydrated. There are, however, a few things we need to do in order to give it that extra moisture it needs. 

Is there a difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin?

Short answer: Yes!

Dry skin is a skin type and lacks in oil. Meaning your skin will have more tendency to be irritated, have blemishes and overall lack moisture. 

Dehydrated skin is a temporary condition that can happen at any given time, meaning that your skin needs water. We could compare it to feeling thirsty or feeling hungry. Dry skin needs to be nourished, whereas dehydrated skin needs to "drink" ,  but it doesn’t mean that it lacks nutrients.  

 

Creating the ultimate beauty routine

If you are looking to create a skincare routine that caters to your personal skin concerns and needs, you will need to create a beauty routine that includes cleansing and moisturizing. Depending on your skin’s concern, the type of products and their ingredients will vary: dry skin would most likely require non water-based products that are high in oils and butters, whereas a dehydrated skin is telling you that you should drink more water! In addition to keep hydrating your skin, using products that contain a great percentage of oils and butters, so that you can effectively lock in water and moisture to your skin. 

On the other hand, if you have oily skin, avoid heavy oils that have a tendency to clog pores and opt for a moisturizer that contains non-comedogenic butters.

Skin and Hydration: The Epidermis’ Thirst

Our skin, being the largest organ, also relies on hydration. However, interestingly, water prioritizes other organs before reaching the skin. The epidermis—the outermost layer of our skin—requires an extra boost to stay hydrated and healthy.

Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin

  1. Dry Skin:

    • Skin Type: Dry skin is a skin type characterized by a lack of oil production. It tends to be more prone to irritation, blemishes, and overall moisture deficiency.
    • Solution: Nourishing dry skin involves using products rich in oils and butters.
  2. Dehydrated Skin:

    • Temporary Condition: Dehydrated skin can occur at any time, signaling a need for water. It’s akin to feeling thirsty or hungry.
    • Nutrient Balance: Unlike dry skin, dehydrated skin lacks water but not necessarily nutrients.
