Best Toners For Thirsty Skin

Dry skin lacks natural oil, as opposed to dehydrated skin which lacks water. However, both can feel the some and often it’s hard to tell them apart. Dry skin is a skin type and is genetic while dehydrated skin is a skin condition that can be treated.
 
Symptoms of dry skin include a feeling of tightness, itchiness, flaking and an ashy complexion. Skin generally looks dull and matte, making it more prone to fine lines or even cracks. Chances are your skin soaks up moisturising creams pretty quickly. There are several factors that can lead to dehydration, including environment, diet and the products you choose. Skin feels driest in winter when humidity reduces and we’re subject to the drying effects of heaters, fireplaces and hot showers. Harsh, high pH soaps and cleansers unbalance the skin barrier and can strip out natural oils. Dehydrated skin feels dry but surprisingly, can also feel oily and be breakout prone. This is because skin tried to compensate for the lack of water by producing more oil.
 
Feed dry skin nourishing ingredients like lipids and ceramides to repair the skin barrier and focus of hydrating ingredients to boost the water content of dehydrated skin. Great fatty ingredients to look for include Shea Butter and skin compatible oils such as Jojoba and Squalane. Regarding choice of toner, both will respond well to hydrating layers as hydrated skin more readily absorbs the layers to come. will respond well to the toner suggestions below.
