Dry and itchy skin

Dry skin refers to a skin type, whilst dehydrated is a skin condition.

Dry skin is from a lack of oil (sebum) production in the skin as there are usually fewer oil glands, resulting in lack of natural lubrication, flakiness, tightness, fine lines and itchiness.

Dehydrated skin can feel tight and itchy and appear oily with a dry mantle. This can be a temporary condition, or if left untreated, oil glands will start producing more sebum to protect the skin’s barrier. Sadly, this can lead to unwanted skin conditions such as blocked pores and acne.
