Dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin means that your skin is lacking water. It can be dry and itchy and perhaps dull looking, too. Your overall tone and complexion may appear uneven, and fine lines are more noticeable.

While dehydrated skin can be a nuisance, it’s relatively easy to treat with the right lifestyle changes. Treatment begins from the inside out to replenish and maintain hydration throughout your body.

Your skin usually needs help with added hydration via an emollient cream to protect from further moisture loss.

At its definition, dehydration means that your body is losing more water than it’s taking in. Aside from not drinking enough water, this can be related to increased urination from caffeine or diuretics. It may also occur from lots of sweating from exercise.

Unlike dry skin, dehydration can cause the following symptoms:

itchiness

dullness

darker under-eye circles

sunken eyes

“shadows” around the face (especially under the eyes and around your nose)

increased incidence or appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles.

Severe dehydration can go beyond your skin and cause symptoms such as:

  • dizziness

  • dry mouth

  • faintness

  • lightheadedness

  • overall weakness

  • urination that is darker and less frequent.

How can you tell if your skin is dehydrated?

Pinch a small amount of skin on the back of your hand and hold for a few seconds. If your skin snaps back, you're likely not dehydrated. If it takes a few moments to bounce back, you're likely dehydrated.

How to treat dehydrated skin?
