Understanding dull & dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin lacks water rather than oil, so it can affect any skin type. It often looks dull and feels tight, with fine lines more visible.

Dullness usually comes from a build-up of dead skin cells and a weakened moisture barrier. It responds quickly to the right treatment.

What causes dull & dehydrated skin?

Knowing the cause helps us choose the right treatment. Common causes include:

  • Air conditioning and heating
  • Harsh cleansers
  • Not drinking enough water
  • Sun exposure
  • Over-exfoliating
