Dry & Dyhadrated

These two get confused constantly, and the distinction matters. Dry skin lacks oil — it's a skin type, persistent and genetic. Dehydrated skin lacks water — it's a temporary state that affects anyone, including oily skin, and the UAE's AC and heat make it nearly universal here. Many people have both. The fix is layered: humectants like hyaluronic acid to draw water in, ceramides to seal the barrier, and richer creams or facial oils to lock everything in for genuinely dry skin. Apply hydrating serums to damp skin, always. If your skin is dry as a constant type rather than a passing state, our Dry Skin edit is built specifically for you.
