Dry Skin vs. Dehydrated Skin: Personal Experience and Observations

Hello everyone! I recently came across discussions about dry skin and dehydrated skin, and I'd like to share my observations and personal experiences in the hopes of helping those looking for solutions.
Firstly, the difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin can be a bit subtle. Dry skin refers to a lack of natural oils in the skin, making it prone to roughness, flakiness, and tightness. Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is due to a lack of moisture in the skin, leading to issues like fine lines, dullness, and a lack of radiance. I used to classify my skin as dry because I often felt it was dry and slightly flaky. However, through research and experimentation, I realized my skin leaned more towards being dehydrated. Sometimes it looked a bit dull and lacked radiance. I started incorporating hydrating skincare products into my routine, such as masks with trace minerals and alcohol-free serums. While the results weren't immediate, over time, I did notice that my skin retained moisture better. Another significant factor I noticed was my diet and lifestyle. I began consciously increasing my water intake and reducing my consumption of coffee and tea, as they can affect the skin's moisture balance. Additionally, maintaining indoor humidity levels helped my skin, so I tried using a humidifier to keep the air moist. In summary, understanding your skin's condition is crucial, but don't rely too heavily on any one product or routine to provide quick fixes. Skincare is an ongoing process, and sometimes results take time to show. The above are my personal insights and not professional advice. If you have more severe skin concerns, please consult a dermatologist for the best treatment. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you all, and feel free to share your own experiences and advice! #skincare #beauty #eye cream #eye patch #VIIcode #eye wrinkle# anti aging VIIcode blog: https://viiblog.com/index.php?route=blog/category&blog_category_id=3

Thorough cleansing is the foundation of skincare. How to deeply cleanse the skin?

Many of us these days are really focused on keeping our facial skin looking its best. But with long hours at work and late nights, our skin can end up feeling dry, rough, and seriously lacking in moisture. That's when a good cleanse is crucial. Let's dive into some methods for deep facial cleansing together. So, why is deep cleansing so important? Well, your skin breathes through the tiny gaps between its cells, especially in the outermost layer called the stratum corneum. It also absorbs moisture and nutrients through this layer, as well as through the pores and sebaceous glands. In hot weather, sweat and oil production ramp up, and combined with airborne dust, it's easy for pores to get clogged with grime. If we don't thoroughly clean our skin, those old dead skin cells stick around, making the skin's surface thicker. This not only makes it hard for your skin to breathe properly, but it also blocks the absorption of skincare products, directly affecting your s

Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it a flurry of sunshine to bask in, but also putting our skin to the test. From UV exposure to dehydration, oiliness, inflammation, redness, clogged pores, and sagging, the list of skin woes seems endless. Finding the right balance is key: too much skincare can overwhelm the skin, while neglecting it can lead to summer sensitivities. For a summer skincare routine, remember just two words: "clean" and "light". Clean Routine: Start with a thorough daily cleanse. Summer means our skin's oil glands are working overtime, making it crucial to rid the skin of impurities and dust that can clog pores.
