Dehydrated skin lacks water rather than oil, so even oily complexions can be dehydrated. It looks dull and feels tight, and fine dehydration lines appear when you smile. The answer is humectants that draw in water, sealed with moisturiser so it does not evaporate. A simple hyaluronic acid serum like Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid Serum is an easy first step, while The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 with Ceramides adds ceramides to help hold that moisture in. COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence layers on lightweight, bouncy hydration that suits most skin types, and Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel seals everything with an oil-free gel finish. Apply humectants to damp skin, always follow with a moisturiser, and do not skip morning sunscreen.
