Things You Need to Know About Dehydrated Skin and Acne

While both dry skin and dehydrated skin are used interchangeably, they have different meanings. The former is a skin type that produces less oil while the latter is characterized by a lack of water in the topmost layer of the skin. This water loss can negatively affect the skin’s barrier function and exacerbate acne.


Several factors can contribute to the development and worsening of acne. Skin type, diet, and genetics play a role, as well as certain skin conditions like dehydration. Continue reading as we explore more about dehydrated skin and its connection to acne or breakouts. 


Dry vs dehydrated skin


Dry skin – is a skin type that lacks oil or sebum that usually appears dull, rough, or flaky. The lack of natural oils (that keep the skin moisturized and protect it from environmental aggressors) also makes it more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles or makes existing ones more prominent. Common symptoms include:

  • Skin feels tight (especially after washing your face)

  • Skin that feels rough
  • Scaly appearance
  • Redness and irritation 
  • More noticeable fine lines and wrinkles

Dehydrated skin – is a temporary skin condition caused by lack of water, not sebum. Anyone, no matter their skin type, can still have dehydrated skin. You, for instance, can have oily or acne-prone skin and still experience dehydration. It feels dry and looks dull and can display premature signs of aging. Symptoms include:  

  • Skin dullness
  • Occasional skin tightness
  • Dark undereye circles
  • Itchiness
