What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?

Dry skin generally produces less oil, while dehydration describes a temporary lack of water that can affect any skin type. A routine may therefore need both water-based hydration and an appropriate moisturizer.

Can oily skin also feel dehydrated?

Yes. Oily skin can still feel tight or look dull when dehydrated. Choose lightweight hydrating layers and a moisturizer that supports comfort without feeling unnecessarily heavy.

What order should hydrating products be applied?

Apply products according to their directions, generally moving from cleansing to lighter hydrating layers, targeted serums, moisturizer and morning sunscreen. The exact order can vary with each formulation.

Should flaky skin be exfoliated?

Not automatically. Flaking can accompany dryness, irritation or a skin condition. Prioritize gentle care first and avoid aggressive exfoliation when skin is painful, cracked or visibly inflamed.

Do I need the same moisturizer in every climate?

Not necessarily. Dry weather or air conditioning may call for a richer texture, while humid conditions may feel better with lighter layers. Adjust texture while keeping the core routine consistent.
