This month is all about hydration, we will be talking about hydrating your body, hair and skin.

For the next couple of days I will be breaking down hydration for skin, along with skin care products to use and lifestyle habits to change.

First let& #39;s define...

So many things that can cause dehydrated skin. Our skin gets stripped of moisture by air conditioning, the weather, lack of sleep, not drinking enough water, too-hot showers, using stripping skin care products and not following a good skin care routine.

All skin types can become dehydrated - yes, even oily skin - because it& #39;s caused by a lack of water within the skin. Remember that this is a skin condition and not a skin type. So, if the air around is dry or windy, moisture evaporates from your skin.

According to the Simple Skincare website;

Signs of Dehydrated skin
