Reflections

Dry skin refers to skin that's lacking in oil. Dehydrated skin is characterized by a lack of moisture in the Stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the epidermis).

Traditionally, the Stratum corneum cells are about 10% water. Anything below that is classified as a dehydrated skin condition.

Because dehydration is a lack of water in skin, dehydration can even be experienced by those with oily skin. Whether you're suffering from dryness or dehydration, a professional skin therapist can prescribe a regimen to help keep skin healthy.
