LIKE OIL & WATER
Hydration vs Moisture. Dehydrated skin lacks water and therefore needs to be hydrated. Dry skin lacks oil and needs to be moisturized. It is important to distinguish between these two.
While hydration is what makes our skin soft, it won’t stay that way if there is no oil protecting that hydration from evaporating and abandoning the skin, which would leave it dry and flaky. Conversely, to put oil on top of already dehydrated skin may smooth it, but it will still lack the hydration that makes it feel soft and elastic.
Dehydrated skin that is moisturized without receiving the amount of hydration will still look dull and feel uncomfortably tight. Dry skin that is hydrated but not moisturized will still flake and have a rough texture.
FIRST THIGS FIRST – HYDRATE
Skin is your largest organ. What you eat and drink can affect it. In the winter months, we need to work a little harder to keep our bodies and skin hydrated, as the outside cold and indoor heat give us an even greater challenge. Be sure to drink enough water. Drink about 2-3 liters of pure, clean drinking water daily. Our skin needs to be hydrated not only to look good but also to function optimally.
