Dry skin

What are the differences between dry and sensitive skin and simply dehydrated skin? We asked SKINIUS dermatologists for the secrets to improving its appearance!


Dry and sensitive skin is a very specific skin type in which the epidermis appears dehydrated and chapped. The dry condition is determined by an alteration of the lipid barrier and, therefore, by the lack of certain amino acids that cause a reduction in urea, a substance that helps water bind to epithelial cells.
If the percentage of urea decreases significantly, the skin loses water and becomes dehydrated.
The most common characteristics of dry skin are flaking, itching, redness, roughness, and a feeling of tightness.
It is important to recognize its characteristics, as it can sometimes be confused with a true dermatological condition such as atopic dermatitis.

What causes dehydrated skin?

Dehydrated skin can be a temporary condition of the skin tissue. It is a deficiency of water, not lipids, which makes it inelastic and dull. Dehydrated skin is highly dependent on external factors such as climatic conditions or the use of unsuitable dermo-cosmetics that can promote transepidermal water loss, which then results in rough and chapped skin.

The beauty routine for dry skin

Few products, but with specific action and a super delicate texture, are to be preferred in this situation. A fundamental step is to cleanse the face with delicate products, also suitable for sensitive skin, so as not to compromise the balance of the hydrolipidic film.
It is essential to constantly hydrate the skin using high-quality products that contain regenerating active ingredients such as fospidin, which is essential for maintaining balance and deeply nourishing the skin.

Dry or dehydrated skin? Make it soft and velvety again!

The skin is our most important protective barrier, capable of defending us from infections and fundamental in regulating body temperature.
When it is dehydrated, dry, even flaky, these functions are lost because the skin is weakened, fragile and visibly unhealthy .
Only through specific moisturizing creams is it possible to solve this annoying problem, remembering that even small daily actions can help to have a relaxed, hydrated, nourished and soft skin.

These products are particularly important when washing frequently or using aggressive soaps, which eliminate skin lipids.
For this reason, after every shower or bath, it is good to pamper yourself with nourishing and regenerating creams, especially in the face area, the most exposed to external agents and therefore more likely to have dry and sensitive skin.
