Dry Skin Type
Dry skin is a skin type whereas dehydrated skin is a skin condition. Dry skin lacks lipids or oils in the skin and generally those with the skin type have experienced it all their lives. If you experience dry skin on various areas of your body, not just your face, this is a good indication you may have a dry skin type, not a dehydrated condition. Dry skin and dehydrated skin both experience tightness, flakiness, dull complexion and a chance of itchiness or sensitivity. Dry skin is consistent throughout the year as well, especially in drier winter months.
