Quick answer
What Causes Dehydrated Skin?
Dehydrated skin is a lack of water in the outer skin layers, not a lack of oil. It happens when the skin barrier lets moisture escape faster than it is replaced, so even oily skin can feel tight, look dull and show fine crepey lines.
Common triggers include air-conditioned flights, cold dry winters, over-cleansing, strong actives such as retinoids or acids, alcohol, caffeine and too little sleep. Long-haul travel to Seoul is a classic cause – many visitors arrive with skin that feels papery and reactive.
Because dehydration is a temporary state rather than a fixed skin type, it usually responds well to replacing water inside the skin with hyaluronic acid boosters such as Skinvive while the barrier is repaired at home.
