There is a diffrenece between dry and dehydrated skin:

Dry skin lacks oily components. It is the consequence of a low activity of the sebaceous glands.

Dry skin is usually more common in thin and delicate skins. According to Ayurveda this type of skin is called Vata, which is a thinner skin, con tendency to cold feeling and less resistant to climate and hormonal changes.

Dry skin manifests itself in a lack of hydration that favors the early appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.

Dehydrated skin is NOT a skin type but a skin condition. It happens when the skin lacks water. All skin types (oily, combination, dry) can experience dehydration at some point. The hydrolipidic barrier is altered and struggles to retain the water naturally produced by our body. There are a number of factors that can cause dehydration, such as weather changes, pollution, stress, smoking, ultraviolet rays, fatigue and incorrect use of cosmetics.

Dry skin:

- Very thin skin

- Appearance of closed/small pores

- Low elasticity and juiciness

- Tightness

- Loss of luminosity

- Premature wrinkles

- Rough feeling at touch

- Peeling, redness and itching

Dehydrated skin:

- Sensation of discomfort

- Tightness

- Significant loss of luminosity and juiciness

- Marked expression lines

* Moisturizing- natural, non-aggressive with hyaluronic acid and ceramides (which helps to strengthen the skin's protective barrier and reduce water evaporation)

- Delicate oil based cleansing, and massaging the area (Massage the skin a lot to activate and warm it up and that helps products penetrate better.)

* Use our Mist as many times as needed- the high percentage of aloe vera will keep it hydrated and calm.

- You need a lot of oils that provide the lipids that are missing Omegas 3, 6, 9.... Always use oils on top of the cream to create a barrier from water loss (like Serenity).

- Daily care at least twice a day - if you have dehydrated skin, you must prevent it from becoming dry.

- Daily use of sunscreen, as the sun tends to affect faster when you have skin with an unbalanced lipid barrier.

* We recommend using double cleansing or just a recovery cleanser for dry skin. In the mornings, ONLY Active Mist. If you feel the skin dirty, use Recovery Cleanser and than Mist.

* Start the day with water and intake of Omega 3 and 6.

Stress accelerates cortisol production. It weakens the natural hydrolipidic barrier which is responsible for keeping water in our skin. Due to that more water is lost, leaving the barrier more exposed to water loss.

Stress can cause many skin problems. By raising its levels, it affects the sebum glands in the skin and causes the pores to clog- thus less hydration penetrates the skin.

There are gestures and movements that you can perform with your body to help your internal energy to flow correctly and to let go of blockages and tensions. For example, sitting for a few minutes with your back straight and relaxed, keeping your gaze straight ahead and your shoulders resting down. Bringing awareness to your back to straighten it inside and out allows you to feel confidence and align your energy centers. This pose naturally helps purify your body, mind and emotions because it brings stability and firmness.

Close your eyes gently and start taking deep breaths to connect with your inner self. Now visualize the energy radiating from your hands to your entire body. Feel how its properties begin to calm your mind, aligning your thoughts and letting go of what was causing anxiety or exhaustion.

Bring your full attention to the area between your brows and allow this area to relax and expand. Remember that it´s related to intuition and superior knowledge of what surrounds you and yourself. Concentrate and visualize how the energy purifies your entire head, your neck, your eyebrows and your eyes.

When you feel ready, imagine how all that same energy begins to descend through your spine and through your entire body, coming out to discharge to the ground from your feet. Feel how you are letting go, making room for a new and clean energy and how you are renewing your energy field, refreshing every cell, every organ, every bone.
