Dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin

80% of the population has a dehydrated skin. Dehydrated skin is not really a skin type. Al skin types can be dehydrated. Even oily acne prone skin can be dehydrated. Moisturizers are a must for your daily care.

A moisturizer is needed for a number of reasons. First, this product restores the moisture balance in the upper skin layer. Secondly, a moisturizer makes skin surface smoother. Thirdly, a cream/serum/mask, depending on the formula, leaves a thin 'waterproof' layer on the skin. Remember that a hydrating mask is often a top product for dehydrated skin.
