Dry Skin – Surface and Deep Layer Dehydration

Dehydration occurs when the skin lacks water, and may affect either the surface (epidermis) or deeper layers of the skin (dermis and subcutaneous tissue), or both.

Surface dehydration is often temporary. It impacts the outermost layer of the skin, and can be caused by factors like dry air, harsh cleansers, or over-exfoliation. Deep layer dehydration, on the other hand, affects the skin's structural elements and can lead to long-term issues like wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

Surface dehydration:
Cause:
Dehydration in the epidermis can can be caused by factors such as dry indoor or outdoor environments, harsh cleansers, or excessive exfoliation.
Signs:
Dehydrated skin may appear dull, tight, and prone to fine lines. It may also have a rough texture and a lack of radiance.
Reversal:
Surface dehydration is often temporary and can be reversed with appropriate products and hydration.
Importance:
A healthy skin barrier is crucial for protecting the skin from external stressors, and dehydration can disrupt this barrier.

Deep layer dehydration:
Cause:
Dehydration in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue affects the skin's structural elements and can lead to long-term issues like wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Impact:
Deep dehydration can lead to more pronounced fine lines and wrinkles, as well as sagging skin.
Long-term effects:
Chronic dehydration can further exacerbate these issues, potentially leading to a loss of skin elasticity.
Importance:
Deep hydration is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, firmness, and overall skin health.

Our Elderflower Q10 Collection filles a need for intense hydration and skin barrier repair.
