How can you tell
if skin is dehydrated?

Dehydrated skin is thirsty skin and it sends signals to tell you this, including a feeling of discomfort and a loss of radiance. Dehydration occurs when the skin becomes fragile and is no longer able to retain water.

It is important not to confuse skin type with its level of hydration. Skin type is about your skin's specific characteristics: oily, combination, normal or dry. Dehydration is a temporary condition that affects all skin types, no matter your age. For example, skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time. VIEW MORE VIEW LESS

Did you know?
Dry skin isn't necessarily dehydrated

These two are often confused but the difference is simple: dry skin lacks oil while dehydrated skin lacks water.
Dehydrated skin is temporary while dry skin is a specific skin type.

What are the signs
of dehydrated skin?

When your skin lacks water, its texture and radiance changes. Fine lines from dehydration appear on the face, skin is less supple and can seem dull. You might also notice a feeling of discomfort, especially after your skin has been in contact with tap water.

Once you hydrate your skin properly again, it becomes soft and comfortable, and your complexion more luminous and radiant. VIEW MORE VIEW LESS

Tip:

To check if your skin is dehydrated, use two fingertips to gently pinch the skin on the top of your cheekbone, just under your eye. If you notice fine lines appearing when you do so, your skin lacks water!

Why does my skin become
dehydrated from time to time?

No matter your age, skin is constantly exposed to external aggressors like the sun, cold temperatures and pollution. Each day, it can be subjected to up to 17 thermal shocks caused by temperature variations. What's more, mental and physical states like fatigue and stress can also influence the condition of your skin. VIEW MORE VIEW LESS

Here are the factors that can cause dehydration:

Pollution
Sun
Hot air/Cold air
Stress and fatigue
Excess Makeup
Tobacco/Alcohol
Excessive
screen time

The secret to
perfectly hydrated skin

Your skin is subjected to up to 17 thermal shocks each day. To protect and revitalise the skin, it needs to be carefully moisturised with a serum, a cream with hydrating properties.

Clarins Laboratories have been looking for a way to boost the natural hydration process to compensate for a lack of water. The moisturising Hydra-Essentiel range is the perfect solution for dehydrated skin.

The secret? Organic leaf of life allows the skin to regain its ability to retain water, no matter the circumstances. VIEW MORE VIEW LESS
